Justice Department argues for presidential immunity, says media and impeachment can hold Trump accountable

Trump had previously requested that a federal judge block the enforcement of the subpoena. An appeals court in November upheld the trial court's decision in Vance's favor. The Supreme Court subsequently agreed to hear the case.

For example, Scrutiny from the news media is often dismissed by the president as"fake news," affording the White House an opportunity to avoid bad press without having to engage on the merits. Veteran CBS News correspondent Lesley Stahl corroborated this understanding of the president's relationship with the press in an interview in May 2018.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment at the time from multiple news agencies about Stahl's remarks. Though he has alternately tried to walk back his remarks and lambasted reporters for misinterpreting them, Alan Dershowitz, the president's impeachment counsel, argued that Trump cannot be impeached when he"does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest."

justice dept firmly sucking to trump

The DOJ and Specifically A G BARR should be utterly ashamed of themselves for BLATANTLY ACTING AS THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL ATTORNEY instead of fulfilling its Duty to the American people. Netanyahu's similar Appeal for Immunity was flung out as should Trump's be.

God save the king

While he’s president or after? I mean either way hell no, but curious how far they’re pushing it. Media can’t hold him accountable when he excludes those who do and impeachment doesn’t either if congress won’t use it.

lisamurkowski see

Says this after impeachment fails to hold president accountable and after president bars media from learning the truth (banning networks, labeling all non-compliant news 'fake news', no presidential daily briefs, etc.). Yeah, real effective at holding president accountable...

B.S.

Today? The only people who can hold KingLiar accountable is the Americans who VoteBlueNoMatterWho in November.

Every court that has heard that argument has rejected it.

Really Since when does the media prosecute, convict & punish!!! NEVER!

So naive and stupid
