On the heels of his big win over ABC, the president-elect has signaled that more legal challenges could be on the way.
Summary
Donald Trump hinted at legal action against E. Jean Carroll, who previously won defamation suits against him, by reposting a Truth Social image suggesting women face jail for false accusations.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, indicated potential further legal action against Trump.
Trump has also threatened rivals like Liz Cheney, Joe Biden, and even poll workers.
In his world? Yes. Unfortunately there hasn't been a whole lot of significant precedent for pushback against the man child in chief during his earlier tenure, so i wouldnt hold my breath.
Do you not remember his first term? The vast majority of things he wanted to do got “pushback” from the DOJ. To the point where he fired the Attorney General, Jeff sessions, and replaced him with Bill barr. Even that monster, Bill Barr pushed back against Trump a bunch of times. Eventually, he even testified against him for several different inquiries and hearings, including both times he was impeached.
Even when Trump‘s appointed his own attorney, general, they turn on him.
Downvotes here are hilarious. What are you downvoting? The fact Trump is a Putin puppet or the fact that the CIA/NSA let him become President twice? Pray tell.
As the head of the executive branch, the President is ultimately in charge of them. Now, the President is supposed to avoid conflicts of interest and allow the DOJ to operate independently to carry out their duties and not to interfere with investigations. Historically that has of course been spotty to say the least.
And Trump definitely doesn't give a single fuck about conflicts. If the department heads won't do it he'll just fire them and get someone in the office who will. The normal check on this system is Congress, and they won't do anything to defy Trump, at least not enough of them to actually stop anything.
I'm not an economics major, but I think it is a market fundamental that every time donvict bleats out something about "nasty women" that have wronged him that the consumer prices for everything drop some percentage points, including eggs.
