TFG argues Jan. 6 panel could permanently damage the presidency

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump argued Wednesday that the pursuit of his White House records by a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol could have long-lasting, harmful effects on the presidency.

"The [committee’s] clear disdain for President Trump is leading them to a course of action that will result in permanent damage to the institution of the presidency," Trump's attorneys wrote in a brief filed in federal court.

"In reality, their success would gut the protections afforded presidential communications of any just and uniform standard. An incumbent president would always be able to condemn the actions of a former president from a rival party and permit confidentiality to be broken to further political ends,” they wrote.

Lawyers for the bipartisan Jan. 6 committee urged the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., this week to quickly release Trump White House records related to the attack on the Capitol. The court is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday.

4. Hey, If a Man Can't Plan Overthrow Of The Constitution In The Oval Office

Who, Sir, who among us can be safe?

5. Exactly, Sir! What if down the road we elect ANOTHER 300 lb. colostomy bag ...

who, after being voted out of office, decides to burn the whole thing down and shred the very fiber of our democracy?

Not allowing them to do so in total secrecy could deal a fatal blow to the hopes of any future aspiring seditionists!

9. DAYUM, Bravo - you have a 'way with words!'

A "300 lb. colostomy bag" - and 74 million of 'us' wanted him back! It just boggles the mind.....

[Retrograde]

6. The Lardy doth protest too much

The more he argues, obfuscates, and stomps his little feet the more I'm convinced that he's guilty up to his piggy eyeballs.

10. Oh, come on!!!!!!!

That's been obvious since we first heard about his schemes for the Inauguration - a "fund-raising" event for the Trump Empire.
What really hurts is that there are STILL people that don't 'get it.'

11. I'd like to think.....

that we could clear the national debt with the sale of this poster!

[malaise]

12. THIS

Eff him

[Justice matters.]

8. Executive Privileges can't be used to hide the evidence of any criminal conduct.

Conspiracy to overturn any legally certified election results is not a innocent conduct.

Conspiracy to organize and incite an insurrection against the peaceful transfer of power is not a innocent conduct.

The President is not a king and Trump is not President.

Lock.him.up!

Put on your big boy britches and be prepared to defend your client.
