DOJ Garland? Can you imagine this political hack cud have been a SCOTUS Justice? Sadly Progressive justices are Democrats first & Constitutionalists a distant second!

This communique from a Federal department, which is being run by an uber-corrupt Biden hatchet man.

Nothing gonna happen

Meanwhile they chemnuked Ohio. Piss off Wallstreet trash

Then I guess presidents can be sued by military families for injuries and deaths.

Of course, you can sue for anything, anytime. Question is can anyone get a fair trial in DC?

So can SpeakerPelosi

Who was head of Capital security? They should probably be sued too.

More gaslighting from the 'Injustice Dept'...

Really? Do liberals ever consider the ramifications of their actions? Ask Schiff, Swalwell and Omar how that works!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

When? When? When? What are you waiting for?

If this happens all of congress needs to be held accountable for their actions while in office over the last several decades…..

Does that mean Democrats who supported the Summer of Love riots can also be sued? They did more harm to America than Trump is being accused of.

This is great! Can’t wait for Brandon to get out of office!

Civil isnt criminal 😂😂😂 Literally anyone can sue for anything in civil court

Lock him up 😃

Your paper is owned by a traitor who leaded information to the GOP. Rupert is a scourge. Cancelling.

Trump said... 'MARCH IN PEACE '. THAT'S ALL THE IMMUNITY HE NEEDS..!!!

He was N🚫T involved in January🤡6th... why don't YOU🤥people get a grip🤓 & on to the work🚧 of the people-not the work🔨 of the idiot🤪 Democrats😈

This totally opens the door to taking civil action against former presidents for the time in office. This is excellent. It's not going to work out the way they think it will.

Good. Let the lawsuits begin!!!
