Fair notice that what he was doing may be illegal… Talk about BS excuse, if you have to question what you were doing for being illegal, then it’s likely illegal
“I’m sorry officer, I didn’t know I couldn’t do that.”
Did y’all get your weekly newsletter telling you about the actions it would be illegal for you personally to take? Can’t find mine.
Stupidity is not a valid excuse for breaking laws. Ignorance of the law does not change the law.
The “if I did it, it wasn’t that bad” phase of things?
The executive branch of the law didn’t know the law. Sounds like someone who shouldn’t be in that job.
Neither did the trans woman in Ohio who was kicked off the ballot for not disclosing her name change. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, so I’ve been told by conservatives over and over.
I am an idiot is not a defense. What a joke
I didn’t know it was a crime to rob the bank. Nobody told me.
>“Can you imagine the notion of the Republican nominee for president not being able to campaign for the presidency because he is, in some form or fashion, in a courtroom defending himself?” Mr Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow told Judge Scott McAfee last month.
can you imagine nominating someone who stole classified secrets, used them for leverage or flat out sold them, attempted a coup, sexually assaulted numerous women, committed endless financial crimes and even more? can you imagine that, seems almost unimaginable except to people who are massively polarized.
Amazing, he has executive privilege, immunity from all actions, and requires “fair notice” that his planned actions may constitute a crime! Being president comes with lots of perks! I wonder if Joe received “fair notice” for crimes that he’s immune to anyway?
*Attorneys for the former president want the case dismissed on grounds that he …was never told that what he was doing in the state – where he is charged as part of an alleged racketeering scheme to unlawfully subvert the state’s election results – could be prosecuted.*
something something ignorance of the law something something is no something something excuse something
1. Are you SURE you want to continue criming?
2. Are you SURE that you’re sure?
3. Final warning. You’re about to commit a series of felonies.
This dude has never, in the history of EVER, heeded a warning.
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
“President Trump lacked fair notice that his advocacy in the instance of the 2020 presidential election could be criminalized.”
Who knew that asking the state of GA chief elections official to find votes that would change the certified results of an election loss would considered a criminal act instead of advocacy?
One lame excuse after another. Best attorneys money can buy (at least that will still work with him). Plenty of advice from “only the best people” he hired. Still the man cannot accept accountability for a single action he’s ever done in his life. What a sad pathetic human.
Excellent so let’s get discovery from White House Counsel
If there is ONE guy that gets fair warning on actions he’s about to take it’s Trump. There’s plenty of evidence that he just ignores that advice.
> President Trump lacked fair notice that his advocacy in the instance of the 2020 presidential election could be criminalized
IANAL but who responsibility would it be to give the President “fair notice” that asking for the Secretary Of State to find enough votes for him to win, could be illegal?
Surrounded by more lawyers than most of us have even talked to in our lifetimes…but you didn’t have fair notice.
But then again, it was a ‘perfect call’ so, what fair notice do you need? Stand on your words. “Perfect call.” Maybe tell it during the trial…tell the jury how everyone comes up to you – tears in their eyes and says “sir, it was a perfect call.” It’ll work. Trust me.
Cue the White House legal expert testifying that he informed Trump numerous times that it was definitely illegal, and Trump said: “So what? I’m gonna do it anyways.”
So he’s going with the Afluenza defense.
>“Can you imagine the notion of the Republican nominee for president not being able to campaign for the presidency because he is, in some form or fashion, in a courtroom defending himself?” Mr Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow told Judge Scott McAfee last month.
Can you IMAGINE???
This kind of argument in a courtroom is insulting.
Edit: It gets worse
>Asked by the judge whether Mr Trump should then face trial in 2025, if he wins, **Mr Sadow suggested that he shouldn’t be on trial until at least January 2029**, at the end of his term.
So declare a presidential candidacy for the next election the day after inauguration, and that could get you 12+ years of immunity from the justice system if you happen to win two terms.
Could you imagine the MAGA brain melt down if Biden tweeted “I’ve been hearing a lot of this ‘absolute presidential immunity’ so I’ve decided to round up all republicans who supported J6 and put them in Guantanamo until further notice. Also any Supreme Court judges appointed by insurrectionists will join them. God bless America”
Florida didn’t allow that excuse to be used when they arrested people for accidently registering to vote.

ROFL GTFO
So now he admits that what he did was illegal.
Good. Making progress.
