BREAKING: Trump team to start “daily” meetings to focus on prosecuting his political adversaries, according to CNN

Looks like Susie Wiles’ efforts to “limit” Trump’s focus on retribution has failed spectacularly.

1. Well, it's not like they have anything more important to focus on. nt

[forgotmylogin]

19. Our tax dollars at work. n/t

[Lovie777]

2. This will not go over well....

with American public. Healthcare, economy are in shambles but oh no, shithole’s administration purpose is to go after people that shithole doesn’t like.

DOJ sucks and so do the US AG along with ICE and the DHS and the Republicans.

[Skittles]

3. I think he has received a very poor prognosis about his health

he's going for broke (let's face it, it's not like he ever gave a shit about WE THE PEOPLE)

[ColoringFool]

11. Not One Human Being Other Than Himself. Literally......

No, not even Ivanka. The thought he cares is risible, the way he has spoken practically obscenely about her.

All others exist solely to serve Trump---body, soul, mind, and money. If you offer none of the above, he would just as soon have you killed.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. His "care" for her is very much like most incestuous parent's "care."

He sees her as just another part of his body, there for his use and satisfaction. So he “loves” her in that he finds her gratifying, even though she is now relegated to a fantasy object. It’s revolting, to be sure.

[tanyev]

12. Also to do as much damage as he can before the midterms.

[agingdem]

5. Except this is precisely why Republicans voted for a

a malicious revenge-fueled psychopath….his enemies were their enemies..black/brown people/immigrants, gay/trans people/drag queens, educated women (particularly black women), Democrats.. punish them/hurt them/ deny them the right to vote..yes!!..that’s what his voters wanted.. and they turned “a deaf ear” to his promises to gut the economy, trash the Affordable Care Act, destroy the environment, reward his mega donors with obscene tax cuts, shut down the government, fire career government officials/air traffic controllers, send armies of ICE agents to harass and kill American citizens/tear children from their parents, declare the Constitution all but dead, decimate the White House, and anoint himself emperor..

So now that their guy delivered on his promise to inflict pain, they’re shocked to discover they are in pain and their lives are shit (no job/no healthcare/astronomical food prices/no way to educate their kids) and they’re wailing “This isn’t what we voted for!”..well, yes it is..

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

20. "I am your retribution."

Your post is spot-on.

[Oneironaut]

22. This is absolutely the dumbest thing they could do, and, is accelerating their downward spiral.

But, I think the saying “never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake” applies.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. Oh my gawd

[mucifer]

6. More bad news every day.

[Chasstev365]

7. Bondi is in the top 5 to be prosecuted if we ever survive this mess

The C WORD is an awful ugly word, but if anyone deserves to have it used to describe them, it's Pam Bondi.

While most of the men on the right wear a perpetual smirk on their faces, Bondi always emits pure hatred in her every action

[Alice B.]

10. Didn't some of these people swear in their confirmation hearings, under pain of perjury,

That they wouldn’t participate in this kind of thing? Political retribution?

Speaking of prosecution.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. They all believed they would be getting blanket pardons that cover their testimony and

everything else they do in office, and they may.

[IcyPeas]

8. In his post about Trevor Noah he said something that stood out:

The last line of that rant:

Get ready Noah, I'm going to have some fun with you!

I mean WTF? He really gets off on this shit. He's cruel and all his hired cronies are cruel. He finds it fun. knowing his victims have to lawyer up and it will cost them... . He's still going after comedians and tv shows FFS. He doesn't do any actual work. He has "teams" researching everyone who ever said a bad word about trump. Who are these people who do this work for him? He does these pressers from his office with people lined up behind him and he sits there while the press scream questions at him. Its embarrassing. He loves the spectacle of it all. Eat 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 8647

Ha! It looks like Trevor Noah touched a raw nerve at the Grammy Awards. Trump is such a snowflake! 🤣🤣

9. So affordability no longer a priority?

[IbogaProject]

30. I thought affordability was a new made up term?

Really hard to keep up with their Gish-Gallop style of "thinking".

[Swede]

13. It's not like he has anything else to do.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. Should TACO go after Barack and Michelle Obama, LOOK OUT!!!

They are both Harvard Grads who graduated at the top of their respective classes.

Both know the Donald for who he is.

[maxrandb]

15. I can see it now

?si=IZKQZgrnxRKpmM0K

[dalton99a]

16. He needs to name a Grand Inquisitor

to keep things running when he falls asleep

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Someday we will use this as textbook evidence of what we don't want in a president

and hopefully we'll get a Congress with 3/4 members ready to make the appropriate changes in the Constitution.

Seriously. Can anyone not see that he's been attacking blue States with ICE and the military from the beginning?

He has been conducting a war against Democrats, abusing his power to do it and the Republicans in Congress are complicit.

[turbinetree]

18. So how is he going to act when they tell him that 77 million plus people hate the adjudicated 34 count convicted

fraudster, convicted of molesting a woman in department store and must pay 5 million dollars in that crime and then pay over 65 million for defaming her..........

He really is just a small person............literally.............to keep the Epstein deflecting on going...........at taxpayer expense......

[kimbutgar]

21. Isn't there a statue on the law books stating malicious prosecution is illegal ?

Or a Supreme Court ruling against it?

[Ol Janx Spirit]

32. It's not technically illegal, but can be both grounds to throw out the case...

...or for the victim to sue later.

It is an interesting statute that really tends to favor the prosecution as it basically requires that the case run its course and result favorably for the defendant.

To succeed, a plaintiff must establish that a state actor initiated a criminal proceeding without probable cause, acted with malice, and the proceeding ended in the plaintiff's favor.

Getting a grand jury to return a true bill on a case gives the prosecutor the cover of probable cause. After that they are basically immune to any repercussions.

Federal prosecutors generally possess absolute immunity from malicious prosecution claims for actions taken within the scope of their prosecutorial duties--even if they act in bad faith, knowingly prosecute innocent people, or withhold evidence.

But, as in all things law: it is complicated at both the state and federal level.

So, what do these federal prosecutors really have to lose? They get to take the trial all the way to the end and maybe convince a jury that the defendant is guilty, and the worst case for them is that the case is resolved in favor of the defendant.

You can do a lot of damage to a person's reputation and bank account along the way to that end.

[Jersey Devil]

25. Trump wants indictments before the midterms

That way he can focus on that rather than the economy or ICE or his foreign policy blunders. Apparently he is not happy with the current pace of political prosecutions.

[milestogo]

26. He needs twice daily meetings with a team of psychiatrists.

[tinrobot]

27. They can't get a dictatorship, but they can get revenge.

Making everyone else's lives miserable is the only thing that makes him happy.

[Botany]

28. This is News? Harris, Pelosi, HRC told us flat out that Donald was a Russian agent and he had enemies

https://www.facebook.com/TheDemocraticCoalition/posts/kamala-harris-was-right-about-literally-everythingtrump-had-an-enemies-list-she-/1222469266742462/

Pelosi to Trump’s face, “with you all roads lead to Putin.”

Hillary Clinton: "Well that's because [Putin would] rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”

Now was Putin sending young girls to Melania (Putin’s Trump Handler) which she passed onto Maxwell
and then onto Epstein so he could use them to get kompromat on rich and powerful men for Epstein and
Musk?

[doc03]

29. Isn't targeting people with all these frivalous

and baseless lawsuits in contempt of court or
something? I know if I did it I would be behind bars for something.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

34. No, but that is a claim the defendants can try to make at trial--well, not the contempt part; but...

...the frivolous part.

But that is really for civil actions where anyone can sue anyone else for whatever reason basically.

These will be criminal prosecutions and will have to have grand juries return indictments based on probable cause--which is probably why they need to meet every week to come up with some.

It is amusing however since the political-right before Orange Julius screamed for years about tort reform and how much frivolous lawsuits were costing us.

Times change....

[Justice matters.]

31. Grand Juries will not indict. If they do...

Juries will not find them "guilty" so it's a big bad waste of taxpayers money (on the national debt, of course, what else is new).

It's part of the Fascist propaganda to distract from the 3 million+ hidden documents (against the letter of the Law).

[mdbl]

33. More taxpayer money being wasted.

This Congress and Senate will go down in history as the worst majority to occupy the Capitol.

[Duncan Grant]

35. Propaganda, page 2: Conduct ongoing "Show Trials"

I have come to the conclusion, we are ass deep in alligators — and rural America loves it.

[sakabatou]

36. That's not fascist at all!

[moondust]

37. Need more concentration camps.

They're working on it.
