Trump to Sue DOJ for $100 Million Over Politically-Motivated Mar-a-Lago Raid

Before getting to the article, Happy Monday.

As always with corrupt organizations -- discovery should be a blast.

And if they destroy records and emails, even better. If Trump gets elected he can prosecute them and put them in prison.

Report: Trump to sue DOJ for $100 million over "politically motivated" Mar-a-Lago raid

Former President Donald Trump plans to sue the Department of Justice for $100 million, claiming that the 2022 FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate was part of a politically motivated attack against him. Trump's legal team argues that the raid violated his rights and was conducted without adherence to established protocols.
Key Details:
Trump is preparing to file a lawsuit against the DOJ for $100 million, alleging that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in 2022 was a deliberate act of political persecution.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon recently dismissed the special counsel's case against Trump, ruling that the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed and funded.
Trump's attorney, Daniel Epstein, has issued a notice of intent to sue, giving the DOJ 180 days to resolve the issue before it heads to federal court.

24 Probably a waste of time as a legal matter. These shitcock LE agencies have way too much immunity even for bad acts.

But this is great politics. Trump gets it. It's no coincidence that the 180-day period runs out well after the election and even after the swearing-in.

As I understand it, Trump doesn't have to actually file a lawsuit -- and might even be prevented from doing so -- until the 180-day period expires. So this is pure campaign goodness.

It is possible when constitutional rights are violated.

Qualified immunity applies to agents of the gubmint, relieving them of personal liability. So, taxpayers end up footing the bill when the gubmint loses.

It's common in lawsuits against public agencies to require a two-step process to bring lawsuits. First, you send a "demand" or "notice of intent to sue." The agency then usually has some period of time to respond, during which time you are usually prevented from filing a lawsuit.

The idea is to reduce lawsuits against public agencies. The time period is supposed to be a period where the parties try to reach a settlement. But in practice, it's usually just another hurdle making it hard to sue public agencies.

Yes and no. Intentional violations of the constitution which a politically ordered hit on Mar a Lago would be are constitutional torts that bypass the ordinary government sovereign immunity defense. See Bivens v. Six Unidentified Government Agents. Bivins is a 70's era case where the DEA relied upon an informant that gave consistently bad tips. The Bivins family was subjected to a full on armed search being kept at gunpoint, etc. because the informant lied about the Bivins family to the DEA (after having done so multiple times in the past). Thus, due to the outrageous conduct of the agents and their purposeful ignoring that they had a bad informant, they were held liable by Scotus for violating the 4th Amendment's search and seizure provisions.

Later decisions narrowed the scope but recent Scotus cases might have opened that back up again (deference etc.).

Old common law had a better approach--for every right there must be a remedy if violated. Probably the best way is to hold the government employees if found responsible, personally liable.

No need to deport all of them. Deport some of them and do it loudly. Start enforcing employment law and deport them as a matter of course, after slapping them with charges ("stay and get prosecuted, leave and you're done"). Cut off federal funding for illegals, or even just reduce it.

Do that for a little while and lots of them will self-deport. Not all of them have to be rounded up and shipped back. A lot of them do, but people are pretty good at figuring out which way the wind is blowing.

And shutting down the slave trade's NGOs and prosecuting some of its principals will seriously help stem the tide.

I don't think *any* of that happens, but there's no need to forcibly deport most of the illegals. Just make the environment moderately hostile and crank up the risk. Do that, and tons of them will just leave under their own power.

101 180 days in conveniently past the election so no action will be taken before then. I guess it's something Trump can use to hammer the Biden DOJ with in stump speeches and debates.

I also see the Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the FEC about Harris' illegal usurpation of the Biden war chest. They'll get around to it, after the election, with a token fine, of course.

Not good enough. The Trump campaign needs to file challenges in every state to immediately enjoin any use of that money in that state. Red state AGs should prosecute each expenditure in their state from that stolen money as a separate felony, NY style, as it is clearly an attempt to influence an election.

F** civility. Play by their rules and make them suffer.

106 From last thread, because retards are going to retard.

>>Roughly doubling the CO2 concentration is not a rounding error.

Again, the earth's atmosphere contains four one hundredths of a percent of CO2, the vast overwhelming majority of this C02 is created through natural processes, ie, not man made.

Also, the earth is a closed system retard, we're don't create anything that isn't already here that won't be readily absorbed through the carbon cycle.

Carbon gets released, Carbon Gets Absorbed.

Before there was any industry, or man for that matter, the concentration was four one hundredths of a percent, after industry, it's still four one hundredths of a percent.

The reason these f**king a**holes started measuring things in PPM is because they are measuring something so infinitesimal that that is what you have to do so you can see anything from the literal noise.

F**king clowns.

Many will leave when their support system is cut off---funding, jobs, remittances, etc. The full on deportation push involving agents should be focused at employers that hire illegals, criminals that are illegals, and terrorist supporters which makes it rhetorically difficult for the Left to generate much sympathy.

Voluntary deportation is best for a lot of the more sympathetic types and that is done by cutting off funds, jobs, and taxing the hell out of remittances.

Currency and capital controls are probably coming anyway whenever the dollar dies from sovereign debt problems.

130 Based on air bubbles trapped in mile-thick ice cores and other paleoclimate evidence, we know that during the ice age cycles of the past million years or so, atmospheric carbon dioxide never exceeded 300 ppm.

CO2 has never been proven to be a driver of climate, in fact, it's always been shown to be a lagging indicator, ie.

Temperatures go up, CO2 ticks up, Temperatures Go Down, CO2 ticks down.

What you need to drive temperatures on earth would take something massive, that generates heat but also is variable.

What that something could be is illusive, but has to be out there, like dark energy or dark matter.

This is the "needs a willing Congress" to go along with him. Trump can't defund a congressional budget without congressional say-so. If you want the shot to hit the deep state, you're gonna need filibuster proof numbers in the Senate and a big House majority (since some House Rs with state money reliant on those problems won't go along with it).

B/c Trump won't have the people to hit the deep state administratively. He's gonna need to do it in federal budget docs...

Ace didn't do his job today.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIINE, I'll do it for him.

Today is Monday, which is named after the Mons Pubis.

The Mons Pubis is often referred to as the Mound of Venus because of its prominence on women above the vagina.

FUN FACT: It used to be common for all women to celebrate Monday and their own personal Mound of Venus by going down to the beach and standing around naked on a sea shell.

A practice that has sadly gone out of date.

Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

Happy Monday!!!

I dated a Pinay girl once who could speak Tagalog. She used to start talking Tagalog to the obviously Philippine customer service reps. They would deny they could speak the language.

Posted by: RIP UK

There are repeated viewers in the crowds, men with four arms, etc. Typical AI mistakes.

From JJ's thread:

So more Harris A.I. crowd images have come out. I suspect it's purposeful to try to force the conversation towards that topic and be able to push "weirdo conspiracy theorists" because people are stupid and don't understand how easy it is to do with even free tools available online.

It also helps undermine any discussion about the FBI or the state shooting Trump.

Posted by: Moron Robbie

Already proven to be true. Paucity of carbon dioxide leads to worse vegetation outcomes.

Major problem with climate research is that you have multiple feedback loops that we simply lack the ability to measure let alone predict results then you also have changes around where temperatures are actually measured officially and apparently NOAA is imputing some of the results.

Basically, since the 60's, government statistics have become worse and worse in quality due partially to costs and partially to rising non response rates, politically based nonsense, and a desire to actually hide true facts from the American public to advance agendas. These problems are worldwide and basing any government policies on a polluted data stream is perilous.

A squib round fires but is so underpowered that it often sticks in the barrel (usually due to no powder but a primer present or a bad primer that fails to ignite much of the powder). Usually, you get separation of the case and bullet.

That is distinct from hard recoiling rounds that can actually act as an inertial bullet puller on other cartridges in the mag or cylinder.

304 I just saw a picture of what purported to be a single woman with a Harris/Walz sign in her hand. When I looked closer, turned out her right arm was actually the back of a leg and her right leg was barely visible. They went to this much trouble to fake a picture of a non descript single woman walking in a hallway. The tarmac picture is easier to comprehend asathere is video of Harris leaving the plane with no one there and the AI picture with a huge crowd . There is also the rally picture where I actuall spotted a dog face in a hoodie. These fakes are not very good, but how many are getting an impression of enthusiasm for this phony Ticket.

It is when it is at the edge of the capability of the measuring equipment. It is when the total amount is incredibly small, it is when the CO2 is not actually released into the atmosphere but instead is sequestered efficiently into things like carbonates, lignin. methane and sugars and;
It is when the volumes detected is only a fraction of the amount found in the ecosphere
It is when the volume sampled is only the very bottom of the atmosphere
It is when the anthropocentric volume is dwarfed by the amount PUT OUT BY FOREST FIRES AND VOLCANOS

I think they have a problem now because it won't be Nikki parachuted in but Vance as the new nominee. If they did it now, Vance is more likely to win an LBJ sized vote and sweep the Dems from Congress if that happens now.

I think it will be a pivot back to lawfare for the offensive in DC and the NY cases.

I could be wrong but the strategy does not appear there. The strange sudden desire of Nikki to go to the convention prior to the assassination attempt was a bit convenient as no VP nominee had been made and the convention would have been in turmoil had the assassin(s) succeeded.

(The two were also among the Republicans who embraced conspiracy theories about the assassination attempt, baselessly suggesting that Mr. Trump’s political opponents had sought to kill him.)”

442 Hey, back to the original thread. One thing discovery in the civil suit might do is create a foundation for future criminal charges for conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of law.

444 if Trump gets elected I wonder if the DOJ will just settle like they do when the EPA gets sued ... they settle with a wink and a nob to all the green scammers ...

449 See my point about about upvoting and replies from the other night? I'm really late and wanted to talk to the 11th post but I'm way down in the 450-sh reply. My joke has no meaning now... nor does life.
