President Donald Trump’s continued attacks against the former National Security Council official he removed are meant to intimidate and punish him, the man’s lawyer said Thursday.
“LTC Vindman complied with a subpoena. The President would have him defy it,” Pressman said. “LTC Vindman told the truth under oath. The President would have him lie.”
Every Republican with an “I Support Our Troops!” bumper sticker can now shove their camshaft.
“LTC Vindman complied with a subpoena. The President would have him defy it,”
“LTC Vindman told the truth under oath. The President would have him lie.”
What is it going to take?
If the FBI, CIA, IRS and Home Land Security just joined forces for 1 specific mission, Kill off the KING, they should be able to cut trump off at the knees with all the evidence against him.
Let Barr try to turn that wave around.
I say, drive them into prison or at least out of our country.
Presidents are not immune to civil lawsuits, that was already settled during the Clinton administration. It sure seems like Vindman has a case here (as does his brother), because this is a public slandering of his character. He’s not alone of course, multiple people have been put through this, via Twitter or public statements. Yovanovitch in another one who could easily sue over all of this, and she’s not in the government anymore so anything Trump says about her from here on out can in no way be construed as any kind of governmental interaction.
I’m hoping one of them does decide to file a lawsuit, sometime soon, so we have some discovery and depositions before the election. And, so that, at some point, Trump is forced to pay for all of this BS treatment of civil servants that the Republican party is letting him get away with.
It still amazes me that anyone is willing to walk across the street to spend a minute with this person, let alone pay over half a millions dollars to simply be in the same room…
Trump has no honor. No gentleman of the old school would have seen him as worthy to settle matters on a field of honor. Instead, in those bygone days a scoundrel such as Trump would be beaten like a cur.
And the GOP (those stalwart defenders of the military) sit and do nothing about this. Only a fool could not see that tRump’s actions were designed to ‘intimidate and punish’.
The GOP… Standing proudly behind their acquittal of tRump
They don’t think of it as a donation. They think of it as an investment. With one tweet or a stroke of his sharpie he can hand them profits that dwarf their “contribution”.
Meanwhile, I wonder what would happen if a court enjoined trump’s behavior. I assume he would just ignore the court order.
