I want President Obama to sue the pants off of

[malaise]

Groper Don the Con.

When Lyin' racist Sessions says NO to that question, they know they're up shit creek on those wiretapping lies.

1. I'm sure

Obama knows a lawyer or two. Might be a great way to get O out in front of resistance. Let's include Sean Sphincter too.

2. I'd love to see that, but I imagine Obama figures it would just create more chaos

so it's unlikely he would. In any case, O is getting the best revenge: $60 million books deals and standing ovations when he dines out in a restaurant.

3. He'd never do that. He's the anti-Trump.

4. Can't sue Trump

President has executive privilege. The only remedy is impeachment. I'm pretty certain of that.

[JenniferJuniper]

5. Paula Jones

Pretty sure Trump can be sued in a civil lawsuit and this would seem to fall under the category of defamation.

6. Good article on it

Paula Jones was allowed to sue because Clinton's alleged actions were done before assuming office.

But this article also says executive privilege immunity requires the president to be acting in his capacity as president. Drumpf tweeted it on a weekend morning doing God knows what at the time.

8. Nope, the GOP already disproved that theory with the Clinton persecution.

So yup, Little Donnie is vulnerable.

7. Obama has too much class to get dragged into that swamp. nt

[mythology]

9. Obama is a public figure

Obama would have to prove Trump knew the statement was false. It's a very high barrier.

[JenniferJuniper]

10. Normally, I'd agree but

Trump was lying and that's going to be proven.
