David Fahrenthold Retweeted Donald J. Trump
The judge in the emoluments clause case cited this tweet from @realDonaldTrump to reject Trump's argument that any lawsuit would impose undue burdens on the presidency.
In this tweet, Trump actually invited a lawsuit from one of his enemies! He's got time, it seems.

When my boss was looking over what I had written, he circled that quote in red and wrote "NO POETRY!" next to it.
So I changed it to "Your old text will softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again." Apparently, my boss was unfamiliar with the final line of Lewis Carroll's poem, "The Hunting Of The Snark", since he let that go.

(3,335 posts)couldn't name another CIA Director if his life depended. For the record, I'm betting that Trump will go down in history as the worse president in our country's history and we won't have to wait too long for it to come to fruition. It's already happening.

(14,490 posts)Snips from the WaPo article cited above:
But Messitte had rejected that argument earlier, and in this opinion he noted, wryly, that instead of avoiding legal battles Trump seems to seek them out while in the White House.
Messitte noted Trumps threats to sue author Michael Wolff and former adviser Stephen K. Bannon, and Trumps taunting of former CIA director John Brennan in August. After Trump revoked Brennans security clearance, Trump wrote on Twitter: I hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our countrys history, brings a lawsuit.
It bears noting that the President himself seems to have had little reluctance to pursue personal litigation despite the supposed distractions it imposes on his office, Messitte wrote.
There is hope......

(7,725 posts)Unless someone watched him tweet it (god i hate that stupid word) Then it can be argued its not him. And it seems that, that's all thats required of repubs...just some argument. Like his sons..."atty/client priviledge" to defend not having to answer questions before the judiciary committee(?) Had no basis at all, but, they all nodded and gave him a pass. The tweets may not be the thing, unless it's proven HE typed them. Just a suggestion to think about. Honestly though, who knows. Nov. 6th cant get here fast enough. Seems like were waiting for the doorstep of 2025 at this pace.

(8,922 posts)He hardly does any work at all. All the time he spends either tweeting or playing golf alone is clear evidence of the time he has. No judge should allow that argument.

(37,648 posts)I guess there's a reason, but I started noticing recently that tweets in posts are being put in multiple times. The same tweet. Like this tweet in the OP is quotes three times. Is it a mistake, or ???? At first I thought it was a mistake, but it's so often that I now think it's not? Just asking!
