Trump Asks For Jan. 6 Dismissal Because Coup Attempt Was Part Of His Official Duties


WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is asking a federal judge to dismiss criminal charges against him based on his actions leading up to his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt because, as president, that coup attempt should be considered part of his presidential duties.

Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and John Lauro, in Thursday’s 52-page filing to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, attempted to minimize Trump’s actions leading up to the violent assault on the Capitol that day and that, regardless, the law allowed Trump to act based on his belief that the election had been stolen from him.

“The indictment is based entirely on alleged actions within the heartland of President Trump’s official duties, or at the very least, within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his official duties,” Blanche and Lauro wrote. “As President Trump is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for such acts, the court should dismiss the indictment.”

Can you imagine the consequences of a court finding that using illegal acts to stay in power was part of the official duties of the President?

So with all the pardons Trump is handing out for the Jan 6 traitors, I’m a little confused. I thought this was an Antifa led operation? So why the pardons?

Trump doles out security clearances to unvetted officials

https://news.yahoo.com/news/trump-doles-security-clearances-unvetted-030249382.htm

lDonald Trump is granting security clearances to new White House officials before they have completed the vetting process, according to reports.

The US President claimed he was forced to issue temporary, six-month clearances because of a backlog left by his predecessor, Joe Biden.

However, critics warned that the move could prompt the US’ allies to limit the intelligence they share over fears about unvetted officials putting their sources in danger.

One former official told CNN that skipping the security clearance process was “stupid”, adding: “It’s such a dangerous thing.”

The FBI is working to clear hundreds of applications, which figures briefed on the matter told the broadcaster that it was partly caused by the Trump transition team dragging their feet before giving it the green light to start work.

I'm sure this will work out fine................................

"Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced a resolution that would amend the Constitution and allow Trump to seek a third term in office. ‘This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs,’ Ogles said in a statement [Thursday]."
