Government lawyers agreed with Trump that presidents are entitled to robust protections against being sued over their official duties. But in a newly filed court brief, they disagreed that the allegations in the Jan. 6 cases against the former president entitle him to immunity at this stage. They didn’t take a position on whether he should ultimately win or lose on the merits.
Trump attorney Jesse Binnall, along with a lead attorney for the plaintiffs suing the former president, Joseph Sellers, were not immediately reached for comment. A federal district judge previously rejected Trump’s immunity defense against a trio of lawsuits filed by congressional Democrats and US Capitol Police officers who responded to the violence at the Capitol. Trump’s lawyers have urged the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to reverse that ruling and dismiss the claims against him.
The US isn’t a party in the Jan. 6 civil cases and hadn’t asked to get involved — the DC Circuit had invited the government to share its view in a friend-of-court brief after a three-judge panel heard arguments in December. In a sign of the legal complexities and political sensitivities at stake, the department had asked for two deadline extensions before filing its brief.
Take him to court.
Once all the J6 footage comes out, Trump will have absolute immunity because everyone is going to learn that the riot was orchestrated by the left. Why else do you think you see all these democrats trying to goafter fox and Tucker.
Blow back to Ted Mongrel Cruz?
Sure he is. Besides, it’s Pelosi. They need to be suing or the mayor of DC.

DOJ: Police can sue Trump over Jan. 6 riotFormer President Donald Trump can be held liable by police officers for the violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the Justice Department said on Thursday. What 'attack'? It's hard to sell this 'insurrection' angle when less destruction occurred on Jan 6th than has occurred every day since. Really? the relentless harassment of trump by the democrats violates his 4th amendment rights... the democrats just don't care about the constitution.. republicans will have to get more active in politics or they will get booted out of their own country.
