They are private citizens exercising free speech to give advise. How is that twisted into a crime? Trump had private calls with Putin while Joe was President.

No one is above the law except Republicans. Republicans are above the law.
Democrats are all subject to the law, the most important part of which is “guilty of something, we’ll figure out exactly what later”

kickboxmom.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’re just posturing with no actual basis. They know these “opinions” will fail every time they try to make them official concerns. It’s all a bunch of intimidation and bullying with no legitimate legal basis.

A member of tRump's DOJ braking norms and lying about political adversaries. Yeah, never saw that coming. 🙄

And Ed, just in case you missed that day in law school, “malicious prosecution” is a civil cause of action

As cults evolve, they adapt and adopt different language and cultural values. The successful young cultist with political ambition must have the ability to mirror and mimic the cult culture back at itself louder than the rest of the group they themselves are mimicking.
Trumpism is a feedback loop

On one hand, it is his right to be able to comment. On the other hand, I really don’t like where it’s going.

Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences.

If there's anything we've learned, it's that they care nothing about adhering to norms or ethics.

imadifferentbird.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's fucking hilarious to see these assholes try to appropriate "no one is above the law" after having spent the last several years making sure they are above the law.

Gif unrelated.

ahstrongmorse.bsky.social•2 days ago

I "love" how normal USAO practice in indictments is to use things like Banker 1 and Consultant 2 to avoid impugning people who aren't charged even when the people who aren't charged probably could be charged as co-conspirators, but here a US Atty is just making open accusations without evidence.

stevewithag.bsky.social•2 days ago

Curious how this would look in court if they did cobble together a case.

mynahleague.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. This is Elon and his sycophants trying to deflect blame onto dems for yesterday’s debacle. It’s predictable and boring. Nothing is normal or ethical in all three branches of government these days.

alvie2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Now I am not sure if true, but I have heard that others have heard that some have said that Ed Martin likes to get on bended knee and jerk off trump between meetings? Again, as I said, not sure if true and could be a rumor, but it sure does sound like it's true?

That isn't even how the Logan Act works, right?

Big Z can ask them their opinions, and they can answer.

They can't make promises about what they will do when back in power. And they didn't do that.

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is instructive that they are using Elon's syntax and not Trump's. They, consciously or not, know where the power is.

Trump violated to Logan Act over and over again with his various meetings of world leaders, including Putin, and sabotaging Biden’s peace deal in Gaza. He met with Orban to destroy democracy world wide.

Not to mention, Blinken was Biden’s Secretary of State. You’d only call him a member of Obama’s team if you’re taking the position that Obama was a puppet master in Biden’s presidency. Which he was not. Unlike, say, a certain South African dude who’s pretty obviously behind the orange puppet
