US President Donald Trump speaks to supporters from The Ellipse near the White House, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, DC.The Justice Department on Thursday said former President Donald Trump should not be entitled to immunity from lawsuits that aim to hold him accountableIn a filing with the U.S.
However, the department's attorneys make clear in their filing that they aren't taking any position on whether Trump should be considered liable, civilly or criminally, for the assault on the Capitol asof Trump and his allies' efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump has denied wrongdoing related to the insurrection or to the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. He rallied his supporters near the White House shortly before the Capitol was overrun in 2021 where Congress had gathered to certify his defeat to Joe Biden.
No he shouldn't..
Does that mean we all(all being everyone that had to watch while our country was under attack)can take him to civil court?
Shouldn’t they be directing them at Pelosi
Biden calling Americans racist when we don’t want illegal immigrants voting in our sacred country’s sacred elections. He needs those illegal votes! That’s why he recklessly brought them to America! Americans should sue him for slander and endangering Americans’ safety!
for telling the people to march down to the capital peacefully humm maybe the those that lost their businesses in the 2019/2020 riots should be able to sue those that said the protesters should stay and protest until they get what they are protesting over
Is ABC News expressing an opinion? Harry Reasoner and David Brinkley died and we're left with an organization the seeks to influence us, not inform us.
Coup 🤡⚰️
Agreed 💯
👇🏻
DOJ only protects democrats.
Shouldn’t be shielded! Laughable! He hasn’t been shielded from ANYTHING since becoming Republican nominee for POTUS! If you needed any proof of the DOJ politicization there it is. They won’t comment on ANYTHING but will comment on potential future action against one person!
Everyone wonder why crime is up He is the reason.. If we can’t even hold the president responsible for all of his crimes from before he was president, during and while he was outgoing president. Then we are all above the law at this point.. The bar keeps getting lowered!
trump instigated a coup. His coup failed, because he is incompetent. trump must go to prison for his failed coup.
Well, exactly. This DOJ will do anything to destroy Trump.
suePutin's Habad inGerman court: 'Judaism-Satanism,Jewish supremacy religNazism'. Proofsthan enough! Privately ultimatum to liberate seizedUAterritories in2months or divulging;powered by Bavarian Illuminati Jews-Ashkenazi'sFBI,BND killed myUSsurgeon's career intellect properties
Exactly he needs to be held to the letter of the law!!
Apparently Trump is above the law
I heard very explicitly President Trump inviting the protesters to be peaceful and respectful, it's on tape! How to denied that?
Neither should Biden or Hunter
Everyone in Washingtons District of Criminals should be held to the same standard Trumps being held too. For instance, How much money did the Biden family receive for those classified documents .🤔
Ya
There's no law to charge him with
Neither are you ABC
Either convict this man or see your country divide further Look at the U.K. they have a mini trump who won’t shut up, who cannot stop lying he is being dragged before the ethics committee on 20th March while Trump ATTACKED his own ppl and country and he’s answered nothing
No he shouldn’t. He was a private citizen. No one is above the la….. Oh wait what am I saying, we all know THATS not true.
The DOJ is behind this whole Jan 6 chaos. of course they're going to deflect from the truth.
💛💙🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🙏💛💙🇺🇸
🖕 ABC and 🖕 the media
abc shouldn’t be shielded from lawsuits over Covid misinformation and vaccine lies. 🤡 you helped murder people.
The Corrupt Liberal Democrat Scum Media is the enemy. Period
Meanwhile 😏
Did he, at any point specifically instruct them to enter the Capital ? Did he specifically instruct them to assault officers or cause destruction? Did he personally remove the barriers and unlock the Capital doors? Did he lead them into the Capital?
Wake Up America….The bigger question should be WHY” the American people feel like their country is having so many problems !
TDS is real.
✋️
Lawsuits. What kind exactly
Well then BLM and ANTIFA should be shielding from lawsuits. Obama should not shielded from lawsuit after he allow Americans to die in Benganzi
Shhhhh....It's looking like A Democratic SETUP! An UNARMED.... takeover? LOL
Definitely shouldn’t be
Donald Trump should be suing them ! Stop your bs you are criminals !
Well Trump is a traitor so yeh, he needs t be held accountable.
Fraud news maker ABC is back with its dog tricks.
Neither should Biden 🤷🏽♂️
Neither should Joe Biden for his betrayal.
Ight wanna ask Stormy Daniels what happens when you try and sue Trump with half ass allegations
Are you not going to say the doj is the biden administration with a lapdog far left liberal ex judge at the helm.
You can't sue somebody, that didn't comment an insurrection. What about the democrats being involved in the riots, where cities were being burned down, then were bailed out by the democrats.
Send him to prison and throw away the key.
Trump had nothing to do with it, Pelosi was more involved than anyone!
ABC is complicit in this. Promoting misinformation onRussia Collusion for 3 years and concealing Biden corruption from Viewers. ABC are election deniers and they interfered with the 2020 election.
The democrats have been shieled from their part in the cover up of protecting radical far leftist groups who attack the Capital on jan6 in attempt to blame President Trump to secure the election Pelosi no matter election out come Biden would win.
Donald Trump must go to prison for his crimes against the United States.
This is great. Now the family and neighbors of SCOTUS can sue Biden for not enforcing the law and putting their lives in danger.
Fake news ABC still pushing the J6 lie (aka Fedsurrection).
Definitely not legal.. another let’s try to get President Trump no matter what the cost is to our legal system..
Good for bush Clinton Obama and Biden as well let’s prosecute them all
So focused on trump. Trump is done you’re wasting your energy.
Either way, he had nothing to do with the protest or trespass, so it won't affect him
ABC = All Bull Crap
It is amazing to me the Libs/Dems keep blaming Trump for EVERYTHING! Enough is enough! Let it go.
What about the politicians who supported the blm riots? Those riots actually killed innocent civilians.
If he can be sued for nothing. Will people be allowed to sue Biden for Afghanistan?
You can sue anyone for anything. Hopefully they can sue Biden for laughing at a mom whose son died of an overdose. Guess he kids were too white for Biden and Democrats to value.
He shouldn't be shielded from prison! Fk the lawsuits, he belongs in prison!
No!
Fake News
Well, then all that J6 video can be aired in discovery. Sue away!
Well I guess Pelosi shouldn’t be shielded either. Since she planned it
If he was a democrat he would be shielded from any and all charges
Doj is compromised
If the words of this former president were worth it, she would still be in her post!
No he shouldn't
Why stop there? Just get rid of all those nasty smelling Republicans naturally and then we can have a one party system like China and live happily ever after with Twitter leading the way by blocking free speach by lieing to us every day except Sundays !
He didn’t cause it. But the Democrats supported the riots of 2020 so are they going to sue them? Of course not because they’re not Republicans
“Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Jan 6, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Russia, Trump, Trump, Trump, Racism, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. ABC is a f’king joke💯🤣🖕🏽
more nothing burgers.
TDS is a national scourge and a threat to our democracy.
LMFAO
Former President Trump should be impeached and jailed a traitor to American “Unity” and democracy.
Welcome to the Brandenburg Test. Speech intended to cause violence & highly likely to cause imminent (dependent on circumstances, no specific time frame) violence is not protected speech.
Lawsuit for what? These people are so desperate.
Can we hold Biden accountable for being a prolific Epstein client
Freedom from jail and hell
Nancy Pelosi and ABC should also be investigated
This just in: The justice department and ABC are totally politicized and biased.
No kidding really? ABC said that? Oh my what a surprise! How about producing some evidence of any wrong doing?
We’re starting to see what really happened Jan 6. All the VIDEO IS BEING RELEASED…
About time
The obsession with Trump and January 6 is insane to me. You got inflation and crime destroying this country and this is all we talk about
Except that Nancy Pelosi planned it all.
President Trump is not responsible for J6. Nancy Pelosi, Ray Epps, & the hateful capital police using dangerous & lethal weapons are responsible for this fiasco. Nancy planned this. She refused extra security that Trump offered! Would Trump do that if he planned something? No
ABC .lol just stop. Your 'news' is so funny.
The one of many biased, rules for one not the other government organizations thinks this!!!! Why are we not surprised
I guess that people like Pelosi, who many officers believe set them up, will also be accountable.
Biden should not be immune from lawsuits from the loved ones of the 100,000 plus people that died from fentanal overdoses.
THEN LETS GET ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND TO GET THE GRAND JURY CALLED AND THEN ARREST AND DO THE PROPER PROCECUTION SHOWING THE UNITED STATED AND THE WORLD OF OUR EQUAL JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE
While they’re at it they should wake up the IRS and audit the funds being sent to the Ukraine
What about the FBI's provocateurs, can they be sued?
When are we gonna put these 4 on trial for inciting homeland terrorism👇🏼👇🏼
ABC,This is just another reason? We DONT Trust yall.
The DOJ was weaponized by DJT. He thought he was appointing the courts for his benefit, but I guess it's backfiring. Sorry, NOT SORRY!
I guess Joe popping off and saying he wanted to punch Trump under the bleachers is now actionable according to the Justice Department. What a joke.
This will be fun when Biden is held accountable by the SCOTUS neighbors for not enforcing the law and allowing protesters to terrorize them.
Omg can this be over with?
Screw You. Enough is Enough
Oh this will be good!!! Bring it on and the release of ALL the videos and documents showing the FBI, CIA, and The PELOSI monkeys playing their deadly games!
More DOJ activism and corruption designed to smear DT for 2024. Lawsuits will go nowhere. DOJ taking care of their rich lawyer friends in the DC swamp.
He needs to go to prison!! Freaking traitor!!!!
Two tiered justice is not really justice!!
Why are they all so scared of President Trump?
GMA
just wondering how this trash news channel showed up in my feed... wheres that block function again?
Too bad that’s not the justice departments decision
they know he will be no matter what they say they gave an opinion. This again will show their bias
😂🤣
MAGA!
The Justice Department needs to open an investigation into the Bidens, Clintons, and Obamas. As of now, the Justice Department is a tool for the Democrats to hide their crimes by shining the spotlight on Trump.
I AGREE HE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE
Our next President!!!
Get over it his policies are the best of any president of the United States has ever seen had our financial status back on the right track avoided war and eliminated terrorist threats try going after the presidents who do nothing
This is Ridiculous he is not Responsible.
And who said the DOJ is not a sycophant of the DNC!!! Proof is on the actions not the placating word salad Garland spews
Good. Sue him for everything he's got..he can then go live under an overpass with Alex Jones..
Cut the crap. Go find Hunter dum dum
Neither should the FBI
Well of course Trump shouldn't have immunity just cause he was President. Presidents shouldn't be accountable to the law? What could possibly go wrong?
If you're going to hold the former president accountable for a crime he did not commit I suggest starting with the Democratic party who had more to do with j6 than Donald Trump ever did. Let's see if you can get stuck on Smart instead of stuck on stupid.
This network still has TrumpDerangementSyndome Focus on the current WorstPresidentEver
Well, if we are taking words as actions then, every other politician that has said the words 'fight like hell', should be held accountable... even though trump stated '...peacefully...'.
I still think he's more honest and a better pro-american president then the lying career anti-american politician than we have now. And I'm a swing voter!
DISGUSTING BAD NEWS SOURCE AND OPINIONS...JUST SAY NO TO ABC NEWS
Shouldn't you guys be focusing more on the lawlessness of the Biden family.... You know the crook sitting in the White House
Interesting
GMA Trump had forfeited that rights over Jan. 6
The DOJ is nothing more then a extension of the democratic party.
Everyone in your establishment should be allowed to be sued as well for all your lies, deception, and fear mongering you seem to think is news. Stop perpetrating the far lefts lies and hatred.
January 6th was a NOTHING BURGER. The news needed January 6th to keep Trump in the news cycle. A handful of ragtag dummies never posed a threat to anything. It reeks of Pelosi coordinating to make it worse than it needed to be.
But Hillary and Hunter shouldn’t be held accountable for anything? So what they are saying is our justice system does have a double standard. Thanks for confirming.
Time for an orange jumpsuit, Donny.
Damn, the Democrats are scared shitless of Trump
Wait I thought Wray just testified that the FBI and the DOJ aren’t biased⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I think that for his part in the insurrection yes he should be held accountable for he did, I wholeheartedly agree but I also think that the people who showed up to it chose to do what they did. They could have chosen not follow or listen and they made their choice
Good news now we can also sue Biden and Obama
Then this means Biden, Schumer, MCconnel... and Ukraine should be tried for the 113 Billion +++ US Tax Dollars Legal Plunder... This was established at the beginning of our Nation... 'Legal' should be removed from the language and replaced with Locked Up.
Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security and denied Trump's offer to post National Guard at the capitol.
Not only is nobody in the U.S. above the American law, not even a President, but also none should have the power to obstruct justice against them for crimes they commit during their Presidential term. This isn't Russia.
No one in Government should be allowed Immunity they should face whatever laws they broken just as plan citizens are made to face if cought Government people shouldn't be allowed to pardon themselves they should be made to face justice like taxpayers
Then the FBI and Nancy Pelosi can be sued too. I’ll get to work on that
GMA 👏👏👏👏👏
What a complete joke
Why not Biden is about to do it for the RR and screw the folks in East Palestine Ohio at the countries most toxic spill!
Such bullshit when the DOJ ans FBI created the whole situation
Good. He irresponsibly incited all of it and celebrated it, encouraged it. Lied about it….used the highest office of the land to sell to the highest bidder for his own personal gain. Destroyed many lives. He absolutely needs to help accountable.
If that's the case, neither should the F.B.I!!😂😂😂
The doj has proved him right, he's right about the corrupt government and a corrupt media that covers up for the government. It's like we're living in a banana Republic, where everything is rigged.
A b c is racist against republicans period
A b c news is racist against against republicans
Ridiculous
Of course. Trump hasn’t had any rights since he beat Hillary like a Rented Mule.
Doj is corrupt
deepstate witchhunt makes maga2024 more attractive.
Neither should pelosi
Blah blah blah give up he’s innocent and you know it. Here are his last words that day. Get ready for the retraction of your stupid post .
Lawsuits for what? Hurting your feelings?
GMA I guess they don’t realize this opens the door for other politicians as well
Why? One good year. Most overrated player on the team
Still after Trump never ends with you guys His first day in Office as he and Melania came down the escalator the NYTimes wrote that day Its time to impeach Trump. We know who the true Americans are and those who arent Watch as they continue to trash Trump at any chance they get
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?
It's not a crime to call an election rigged, even if some people get really mad about it.
No shot he tried to keep his sorry ass in power. Losers gonna lose
Yawn.
Maybe - just maybe - this is the beginning of the “Teflon Don’s” no stick coating wearing off. We can only hope…
Sounds like the Democrats
He wasn’t even there. He’s innocent of all charges.
Well duh it’s a DOJ run by the DNC
No news today?
Oh, no. They got him now. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds fair
