They probably are building a precedent so the DOJ can provide defense for other former Presidents because they know the time will come when they will need it.
Thanks for the post. I found this concerning as it relates to ALL federal employees. Wouldn't that include all employees of the FBI, CIA, and DOJ?
"The brief argues that Trump, like any president, is covered by federal laws, including the Westfall Act, that protect federal employees from being sued for actions taken as part of their jobs."
I am pretty sure that military tribunals operate within a different set of laws.
Also, if they were taken to court, the federal employees would need to convince the judge that committing treason was within the scope of their employment, something they cannot do in front of an "honest" judge. No guarantees there.
Thanks all the same, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather be defended by Frito Pendejo from Idiocracy than a DOJ lawyer or any law firm that is involved with one.
How many times are they expecting the General Flynn trick to work?

We're not gonna sue em. We're gonna hang em. Westfall is silent on hanging.

The writer of that piece is mixing a couple of things together, confusing the two. .... On purpose I should say.
