“President Donald J Trump respectfully submits this motion seeking dismissal of Counts 1 through 32 on the basis of presidential immunity, as these charges stem directly from official acts by President Trump while in office. Specifically, President Trump is immune from prosecution on Counts 1 through 32 because the charges turn on his alleged decision to designate records as personal under the Presidential Records Act (‘PRA’) and to cause the records to be moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago. As alleged in the Superseding Indictment, President Trump made this decision while he was still in office. The alleged decision was an official act, and as such is subject to presidential immunity,” write fat former President Trump’s lawyers in the intro to their motion to dismiss all the charges for stealing classified documents from the White House.
It wasn’t the only bullshit attempt to toss the charges Team Orange filed late Thursday. Next they claimed he was immune because of the “Unlawful Appointment and Funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith by Donald J Trump” because “The Appointments Clause does not permit the Attorney General to appoint, without Senate confirmation, a private citizen and like-minded political ally to wield the prosecutorial power of the United States. As such, Jack Smith lacks the authority to prosecute this action.” Then it was “President Donald J Trump respectfully submits this motion to dismiss the Superseding Indictment pursuant to the Presidential Records Act (‘PRA’). First, the PRA conferred unreviewable discretion on President Trump to designate the records at issue as personal. As such, President Trump’s possession of those records was not ‘unauthorized’ as alleged in Counts 1 through 32. Second, the PRA’s exclusive remedy for records collection efforts by NARA is civil in nature and forecloses criminal investigations,” and blah blah blah.
Lastly they also filed, as an exhibit, some bullshit lawsuit stupid John Solomon filed against Merrick Garland claiming something something “Crossfire Hurricane.” Solomon, lol.
