A POTUS who says he cant be sued or charged while in office . Loves to sue or threaten legal action against information or outlets who he thinks shows him in a bad light! He trying to shut down free speech and intimidate ,,,

Yet his supporters have no issues with his behavior. They see it as strength, or fighting back against the corrupt system,

Tweety, who wants to delay publication of the Bolton book until after the presidential election, on Monday gave reporters a spin on the White House’s efforts to muzzle Bolton: He views “every conversation with me as president highly classified” and he thinks that “maybe [Bolton] is not telling the truth.”

Bolton spent 4 months with Ellen Knight, the official charged with conducting the prepublication review.
Tweety's suit acknowledges that, by April 27, 2020, Knight “had completed her review and was of the judgment that the manuscript draft did not contain classified information.”

Then a political appointee, Michael Ellis, intervened and claimed to be “concerned that the manuscript still appeared to contain classified information, in part because the same Administration that the Author served is still in office and that the manuscript described sensitive information about ongoing foreign policy issues.”

But that’s just another way of saying the book includes recent, newsworthy information of public concern that the president wants to conceal and he now has the Department of Justice doing political work for him.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

He trying to shut down free speech and intimidate"...last I checked suits and legal action are perfectly legal.....

Love your defense of Trump last time you checked suits and legal action are perfectly legal . If you have cause , being but hurt isn't cause .. but the same standard isnt applied to Trump ? who cant be sued ?

And. Can you get a bigger brush when you say Left you're the one who some how has attached criminal actions as some expression of free speech... sounds like an antifa comparison from the right over exaggerated based on feeling and liite facts

Maybe some see your list more inline with freedom of expression rather than freedom of speech..

Question who on the left made this decision that's riots looting assaults are freedom of speech. ? I know who .... the Right decided. that's who .
