Donald Trump claimed he has 'absolute immunity' from civil lawsuits tied to Jan. 6. The Justice Dept. just weighed in with a significant message. (via MaddowBlog)

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, among those who filed lawsuits against Donald Trump were police officers injured during the insurrectionist violence. The former president and his lawyers have responded to the ongoing civil suits by insisting that he has"rejected the argument

The Republican and his legal defense team, not surprisingly, appealed the ruling, hoping to convince the D.C. Circuit of Appeals that the “absolute immunity” has merit. It was against this backdrop that the Justice Department decided to weigh in — concluding that police officers can, in fact, sue Trump. NBC NewsAttorneys for the Justice Department’s Civil Division said in a court filing in the U.S.

It’s so hard to watch liberals talk so strongly about issues they only think they understand. Come out of your bubble. Information is fun! Don’t be scared

I do not believe this and neither does he. He just thinks that he does.

Doesn’t matter how much lawsuits 😅 he’s innocent and you can’t make up a guilty 😅

Declaration of Independence clearly states that we have the right and is our Duty to Overthrow a Government when it becomes a threat to our way if living and that's what we did in January 6 and we will do it again.

The lawsuit will have to be filed against every MAGA as it was not Trump, it was us the MAGA who wanted to overthrow Democrat Regime.

Well I guess if the Steele dossier and Russiagate didn’t work, they’re desperate to try anything.

If the police who killed two protestors on Jan 6 aren't responsible how can he be?

Why can't everyone sue Fox thay helped by propaganda spreading lies thay new wasn't true insighting Nazi gop trators attacking our capital

Fox is not news remember in court thay said thay were intertainment sue the shit out of them

Can we sue msnbc for saying you can’t get covid if you get the shot? Because a LOT of people got the shot because of this and still got covid

TheJusticeDept is a biased organization run by democrats so, no surprise here.

You mean Merrick Garland's far left Justice Dept? SCOTUS won't agree.

Send that piece of trash to prison where he belongs.

How stupid. Try him for what? Who does Ashli Babbitt sue? Oh, that's right - she's dead.

They said they can sue, not win.

January 6th was COINTELPRO. That's why you're desperately clinging onto this rapidly unraveling narrative... You're a part of it.

Another witch hunt coming? You have lost and will never get trump on any crime!

No they cant

We need to Sue this network for saying that Trump colluded with russia. We need to Sue this network for saying that the covid vaccine worked. We need to sue them into the ground

He's right - you're wrong, AGAIN. Blah blah blah... Where's that BAT you FASCISTS LIED ABOUT? Monsters.

Do you remember what happened to stormy danials? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Why wouldn’t he?

Nope

Convict Trump and his minions of their crimes! ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why? They were the ones opening doors and windows waving folks in. It’s on the video, I know ya saw it. We all did….

Voters overwhelmingly support releasing all videos of the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, and a majority think it’s likely that government agents helped provoke the riot. 😏

He's Fit for this.

But he doesn’t.

Say. The Justice Dept. Three times.

A tidbit: I play a game when I view MSNBC. I time how long it takes you to mention DJT. Usually, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes. That's sad. I watch Fox news too. I hear Biden's name about twice a day. It appears that you're completely obsessed.

Sick ass Liberals

Absolute immunity, guaranteed. Tucker Carlson has the video to prove MSNBC and CNN lied for 2 years. 🍿

TFG seems to think he has absolute immunity from any crime he commits. Strongly suggest the DOJ hire that prosecuting team from South Caroline to prove him wrong. At least they believe NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW,wake up DOJ!!!!!!

I think the Supreme Court will say otherwise…

The Jan 6 storming of the Capitol was a false flag operation run by the FBI to smear MAGA and harass the President.

If he is sued, it will just be the regular routine of court delay tactics stretching it out seemingly forever.

🙄

Spread the word. americaisfreedomination

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

WHOMEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOTTTTT PROTECTING THE CAPITAL THAT DAY BY HAVING 10k + NATIONAL GUARD POSTED AT THE CAPITAL JUST LIKE THE BLM PROTEST IN JUNE 2020 SHOLD BE IN THE FRONT OF THE LINE TO BE SUED!!!!

Merrick Garland is just jerking your chain

Incitement of lawlessness is not protected speech. When that speech is not protected & becomes actionable, person becomes both civilly & criminally liable.

Just lock him up already. What a joke
