Great!

Wow the DOJ rules against Trump—-who could have guessed that?

Can he sue them for not doing their job?

SUE HIM NOW

the ap----bought and paid for------fake news-what a joke the ap has become-----------------------------

So can every Police officer sue Govenors & Mayors who allowed all the riots on our city streets in 2020? Asking for our nations Police officers who got injured in those riots!

Anyone else concerned that Garland thinks this is justice served

I now hope every single person or business impacted by all the riots of 2020 sues liberal politicians. They were responsible for all of it.

Lawsuits need to start being made against Pelosi, and the 1/6 committee. Constitutional rights were ignored, thousands of people set up to suffer in jail without due process.

🤔👇🏼start the lawsuits…👇🏼

The As$hle Press

🤔👇🏼

Then do can they…🤔👇🏼

Trump bashing click bait Remember in court you need to show evidence to everyone That is why the Democratic Party likes to keep the trial in the media no need to show evidence no defense and cross examination permitted Show me the man and I will show you the crime AP plays Beria

We got him now! lol 😵‍💫🤣 That Obama DOJ is quite a piece of work full on Marxists. AP is MediaMattersMarxists Soros funded with the mind of Norm Eisen and mouth of Obama. So predictable that Trump may just get you all. He certainly makes you look bad day after month after year🥳

Who cares? HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON. He'll just scam back whatever he pays out.

I wonder if any Republican members will sue.

They'll never see a dime. I suspect he's so deeply in foreign debt his suits are owned by other people.

Oh wait.....is there an election coming up?!?!?

Why he didn’t do anything! Can we sue Biden for allowing anyone to come into the USA? Can we sue Biden for destroying the USA. .. he hurt the American people!!

Can injured cops from the antifa riots sue the democratic leaders who allowed the riots to happen

The Bureau guys who pushed back against the justification or legitimacy court orders to retrieve “the documents” may not be on board with this either. The obvious assessments would be it’s not a serious systemic national security problem . The attack on the Capitol says yes.

Bullshit

Fine, then the same thing show happen with cops who were injured during blm riots; riots that were encouraged by democrats.

The DOJ says? Haha! Ok. Maybe we’ll finally see some real evidence. But, be careful what you wish for.

Can police officers sue for the abuse they suffered at the hands of Antifa groups, protesters, government antagonistsIs this the presidence that is being set

This will be glorious, the discovery revelations alone will be devastating.

You can sue anybody for ANYTHING, it doesn't mean shit. You can also indict a ham sandwich, remember?

... but he wasn't even there?

Awesome. Discovery goes both ways.

How does this Happen? Didn't he offer the National Guards?

Good.👍

How does a President incite violence? I'm not sure. But when you need to put armed soldiers and razor wire fences around the US capital after an election, you might have done something to incite violence.

And they will lose

if he sailed through two failed impeachments then for realz good luck

Discovery gonna make Dems and Capitol Police leaders crap their pants.

Great the Donald can hire more lawyers it will be interesting to see who wants to work for him considering they probably won't get paid and we'll have to sue the Donald themselves... it's a never-ending battle with the Donald to get paid. he still hasn't paid the city of Houston

Hope they sue the shat our of him

Damn courts and their facts and truths

That mfkr is not above the law.

Teflon Don gets away again

Well, once the precedent is set, folks whose business or person is damaged/injured by the mostly peaceful riots can go after these lovely ladies in court.

🤣🤣

YASSSSSS

Accountability is a good thing!

The DOJ isn't a Judge. They don't make that call🤦‍♂️

Oh please! I'm going to sue Biden for destroying our country!

So, you are saying Nancy P can too? These will go nowhere.

Lol you can sue him, yet you have nothing to jail him on?

If this is true then US Congress people that openly encouraged the riots & fire bombing of cities in 2021 can also be sued. Let's start with Kamala Harris. I think about 50 innocent lives were lost including many police officers.

Or, as T***p calls it: 'Thursday'.

A weaponized DOJ offering their OPNION… old adage says “opinions are like assholes, everyone has one & most of them stink”

debraj112 Good luck with that

The DOJ also part of the corrupt government. They want to stop Trump from running again for the presidential seat.

Good news now we can all see the 41,000 hours of up until now suppressed video from the “mostly peaceful” Jan 6 protest and all the Feds involved. They will used in the civil suit and released to the defense teams of the rioters too!

lol....Being able to sue and actually prevailing on a lawsuit are two very very different things.

Hope the first suit is filed tomorrow

That is such bullshit!!

Now thousands of cops can sue Obama for his targeting of cops.

Hint to the Associate DNC Press: there was no insurrection

Tell the truth AP

We can now sue presidents 4 the harm they do. So we can sue Biden for giving us the worst inflation since Carter,Highest gas prices EVER,worst crises at the Border EVER,worst supply crises EVER,fentanyl crises and how about Obama care that ruined private insurance for 170 million

The insurrection that wasn't.

Pelosi organized the assault by protesters. She should be charged for reorganizing the assault.

A poor and obvious diversion from humterbiden and“family” international criminals exposed. May weassume there will be a report on those issues?

Wow the DOJ made this ruling? What a shocker.

We're about to see a bunch of frivolous lawsuits tossed. All this will do is inconvenience Trump, but that's the point. This is an example of lawfare in action.

How about Nancy ?

WashProbs Can be?!?! 🤔😵‍💫

AndreaG114 Bahaha It’s already been debunked Every J6 political prisoner is going to be released without prejudice The lawsuits will be crushing for DC

🙄

WashProbs oh boy can’t wait until nothing happens

Not gonna happen.

and yet Ashlii Babbit's killer walks free. Very interesting. I wonder what would have happened if the agent was white and Ashlii was black, or a dem.

Yeah that’ll only take 9 years

Great! I hope the officers assaulted and the family of the offer that died sue the shit out of Trump.

Does your style manual have any reference to “Yellow Journalism?” Nah, editors of your so-called style manual are the same leftist droolers that produce these tweets.

This just seems like more of Merrick Garland saying “please somebody, anybody, someone other than myself, do something to bring justice to Trump” CowardMerrickGarland TheJusticeDept

Sounds quite the reach. if you ask me and it just so happens Polosi denies Trumps request for Nat-Guard to be activated for security...I mean you don't have to be bright to see the pattern people pick hate for 1 man (Trump) Democrats are dirty if they can't have it no one can..

So can BIDEN then...🫵🤪🤷‍♂️

Can the capitol police be sued by the family of the unarmed female protester who was murdered by one of them?

AndreaG114 What do the judges say?

Cry babies

Can Syrian hospitals and schools sue BarackObama and LockheedMartin for getting bombed?

It’s shameful we have to put the responsibility of upholding laws and defense of the constitution to the private individual to sue in civil court

some better breaking news would be 'donald trump not eligible to run for any public office ever'

Yes!!!! Time to make him accountable for the violence he and right wing media incited together.

The cop that murdered the young woman in the capital should be charged and her survivors be file suit.

Lol. Right….

Ridiculous

Link to brief?

Is it ok to be white if you’re Jewish?

The fact that Matt Gaetz is free after damning evidence was shown makes me think Trump will walk free.

Another pointless lawsuit. How absurd. Pres DT said go PEACEFULLY on 1/6. Those who entered Cap and injured anyone is on them. How about the 69 secret serv and 29 Park police who were injured on WH grounds by Antifa/BLM/dems. Can these officers sue?

new NFT’s comin’ right up! 😂😂😂 BrokeAss

“Can” and “will” be sued are two different things. Let me know when he actually will be sued.

But Americans can't sue pharmaceutical companies for vaccine injuries. This is the perfect demonstration of POTUS' screwed up priorities . . . It is ALWAYS politics over the American people.

Can people sue democratic governors and mayors for damages caused during the riots?

Discovery sounds like fun...

Which opens the door for some reverse malicious prosecution lawsuits.

BREAKING: People can be sued for anything, it’s news whether or not they win.

Why not sue Pelosi and the so called Mayor who refused to authorize the national guard? Oh I know. That makes fucking sense and God knows the lot of you don't have any.

There was no insurrection, or attempted insurrection, on Jan 6.

Banana Republic- Americans know the truth now, just another witch hunt. Let them sue, because then all the tapes and real witnesses can come forward, we have only seen the witnesses the democrats wanted to see, finally the truth will come out, just a set up.

Lol. DOJ proved it was a joke yesterday already, this just confirms it. Gotta love the new 1/6 videos of police holding doors for protesters and waving them in, that came out yesterday too. 1/6 was a trap sprung by neocons and liberals who hated Trump. Nothing more.

I can hear Trump laughing now…….

Please assemble all of your news resources and post a list of all those who were charged, tried and convicted of insurrection. So sad that the 4th estate has devolved to lying for party affiliations.

Because he told capital police to stand down and let them in. He was pissed he lost election. Instead of being a professional and accepting it gracefully.

so everybody is anti-police now? lmao……

Discovery should be...interesting.

I don't know if Trump would win or lose these lawsuits but it might put him under oath and questioned.

I guess no one has the forethought to see, you have pushed people to Trump. The more you blame Trump while killing our economy and starting WW3, the more people will vote for him.

No surprise seeing that it is coming from our corrupt and Democratic A$$ kissing Justice Department. Shameful.

Can we sue Biden for wasting tax dollars on Ukraine?

I'm sure somewhere in the 44k hrs of videos it's on camera. Also doesn't this open all politicians that screamed to harass people ect...Be liable for anyone / or bystander gets hurt... Just thinking about anyone and everyone that maybesued...Mc Donald lost a case over hot coffee

Good, I hope they take every penny!

GOPgmaNoMore Sue. Him.

I look forward to the absolutely nothing whatsoever that will come of those lawsuits.

So if the DOJ can say people can sue trump for Jan 6 , can others sue Nancy, Maxine Waters Schumer and others who encouraged violence and rioting?

DOJ just shredding any little bit of legitimacy that it has left. I didn’t vote for Trump and I’m not all that big a fan but it’s obvious what this is all about. Embarrassing

Hahahahaha that won’t go so well after all the videos been released

Sued for what lol

That's gonna open a big can of worms....

When do these suits even happen? He was sued in January 2021 by several people and entities and nothing

Pile it all on, all the truths & facts. Provable crimes. The stolen documents should be enough. Pence, Biden all turned over documents. Trump, only when a search was determinative. Does anyone think - no way Trump stole, kept, copied but didn’t plan to share secrets for leverage?

LOL

So they can also sue Nancy Pelosi since she refused National Guard troops?

Great, let's make him a six-time bankrupt traitor.

Good luck chuck, hes broke and his kingdom is falling down.

Can you win tho? ☠️☠️

Keep the man on the run.

I can't wait for LT Michael Byrd to be charged with murder

That's not political! It's not political at all! Why would you say it is political?

Don't be an outsider trying to upend the status quo. You will pay.

tRump has gotten by with everything and will continue to. I am sick of seeing how he can be charged and how he will go to jail when nothing has happened.

The man is so much in debt already. But I say... oh well. Carry on. 😁

Why is the DOJ commenting on who can be sued in a civil action?

Good luck with that one

Well, that's great. It'd be great if everyone did & it all went smoothly & quickly. But we know he has a lifetime history of being sued and keeping people in court for years. So, good luck with that.

Open them all up to discovery!!! Do it!

Trying keep it alive for 18 more months, lol

About time.
