In a series of posts to his Truth Social platform on Monday, former President Donald Trump appeared to suggest that he'll be open to blackmail if the Supreme Court upholds lower court decisions that he does not have immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken as president.

Trump has argued the office of president means he can't face criminal prosecution.

It's an effort to try to block charges filed against him by special counsel Jack Smith in the federal election conspiracy case, related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential results culminating in the January 6 attack.

JFC the traitor is basically admitting that he can be bought..................for a price...........and this still need to be laid at the feet of the republican senate for "not" convicting this head insurrectionist, not once but twice ............and then what's really classic there if not all 6 of the republican US Supreme Court whatever you want to call themselves have taken "favors" of some sort and, as the old saying goes when you have favors done for you, there is pay back when being asked because of that "favor" .....

1. Putin already has the kompramot on him

Pee pee tape from 2013

4. And I think some of Trump's stolen classified docs were potential blackmail material.

He had dossiers complied on his enemies. And friends.
To be used as needed.

2. Makes me wonder how many times he has blackmailed and extorted other people?

3. Oh really? He thinks the Supreme Court cares enough to follow him on Xwitter?

5. IDIOT proving he must be owned!!

Why would he be BLACKMAILED??????

17. But, God forbid, he would ever suggest that he just maybe he should withdraw...

his name for consideration for president if that is the case. Nope, just grant me carte blanche to carry on. Just me, me, me, all the time. The hell with everyone else. Can't pardon himself otherwise. Hutzpah personified.

24. It's a clickbait headline.

If you read the article, he was saying that, without immunity, a president could be susceptible to blackmail. It's dumb, but the headline is dumber.

6. If Trump gets blackmail threats, then maybe

He should report them to Merrick Garland, the DOJ, and the FBI.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Trump doesn't get blackmail threats.

He gives them.

21. My thoughts exactly.

8. Nice to see this happening to the dirtiest

SC ever. We’ll wait.

9. We were failed on so many levels

gop senate, trump's doj, biden's doj, and now the supreme court. I'm still going to fight with everything I have but I'm just steeling myself at this point. Preparing for the worst. There's always the chance that he'll die between now and January 20th.

16. I am hoping he dies before November.

10. Where is Garland and why aren't we searching every god damned place that piss wig has lived?

He still has Intel and is advertising it could soon be for sale.

11. Wait, not that I condone blackmail, but blackmail only works if you're guilty of something.

So what he’s saying is he knows he’s guilty as sin but needs immunity so he can’t be blackmailed? Man, this saga gets weirder by the minute!

12. He's gotta see 6 guys about that thing

[Baitball Blogger]

13. The man is in full self-destruct mode and he doesn't even see it.

Why would someone say he could be subject of a blackmail?

Because fucker did something wrong. This is the reason why old school required integrity and honesty in elected officials and public servants. But, since that's all gone, the Republicans want immunity.

Shit, the sky really is falling.

19. As does his rabid brigade of despicables. n/t

[BlueSpot]

14. Guess we'll have to lock him up for his own protection

Not to mention ours.

[niyad]

15. You know, TRAITOR**, the obvious solution is to not commit acts that

could lead to being blackmailed.

[TheKentuckian]

18. I wonder which crime he was admitting to here?

It must be beyond gawdawful for him to actually give a damn in such a conscious way.

[BOSSHOG]

20. I don't need immunity

I’m not in fear of blackmail. My crime spree of 40 years ago is/was public knowledge, I got two speeding tickets in one week 1984. Nothing since. I am guilty of not having conservative values.

How many presidents have “needed” or “asked for” immunity since George Washington took his oath? Another reason trump loves stupid people and the worthless electoral college.

22. Does Russia have Kompromat on SC Justices?

Were the 3 Trump SC appointees picked by Russia?
Were many of the appellate justices approved by Russia?
Did Russia already have Kompromat on any of the sitting justices before Trump took office? Clarence, Sammy??

It seems like perhaps Russia went all in on gather Kompromat on politicians and judges, like a Manhattan project for Kompromat?

23. Does Russia have kompromat on SC Justices?

Did Russia help select the 3 Trump SC Justices?
Did they approve his appellate judges?
Did they have kompromat on any existing SC Judge prior to Trumps Presidency? Sammy, Clarence perhaps?

Seems like perhaps Russia had a Manhattan type project to collect kompramat on politicians and judges and found the right easy to manipulate?
