Statement from Trump Spokesperson on the Department of Justice’s Amicus Brief on Presidential Immunity

March 02, 2023

President Trump’s speech and statements on January 6, 2021, repeatedly called for peace, patriotism, and respect for our men and women of law enforcement. President Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guard troops to ensure peace and safety on January 6, 2021, only to have that offer rejected by Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. The D.C. Courts should rule in favor of President Trump in short order and dismiss these frivolous lawsuits.

The Department of Justice has rightfully agreed that presidential immunity is broad and absolute. If it were not, Joe Biden would be personally liable for the disasters in Afghanistan, our Southern Border, record drug use causing massive destruction of families and lives, and many other terrible crises that he has caused. Additionally, other Presidents throughout history would be held responsible for catastrophes they potentially may not be responsible for. All witch hunts and hoaxes have to end!

The statement from the Trump spokesperson is a good one, but I don’t think PDJT has ever really been in jeopardy because of the combination of his Presidential immunity from civil prosecution and the Brady Doctrine, which applies to criminal cases. The Brady decision requires that the prosecution turn over all exculpatory evidence to the defendant in a criminal case and, as we know, exculpatory evidence is evidence that might exonerate the defendant, such as ALL of the J6 videos, his speeches, his and their correspondence, etc. Neither avenue would be successful for the DOJ, so why do they keep pursuing this?

If their point is merely to sully his name and prevent another nomination, that doesn’t seem to be working either. As more information drips out at a digestible pace, President Trump is more and more exonerated in the public eye. Even Dems are now saying “Enough!” (going after this guy). I’m beginning to wonder if that’s been the whole point of continuing the witch hunt - threaten and investigate while the public sees evidence of exoneration dripping out from a variety of non-DOJ sources. That strongly suggests that WH are in control.
