"The only reason Donald Trump didn't start sending people to Gitmo is because he was convinced it would be too expensive, and the facility couldn't house the number of people he wanted to send there". So Trump wanted to send so many American citizens to Gitmo that the facility could not even hold them all. "That was the mindset of the man when he was president of the United States." Trump considered sending political foes to Gitmo -- here's why he didn't: Ex-Trump official https://www.rawstory.com/trump-gitmo-enemies/ Donald Trump actually once considered sending his political enemies to Guantanamo Bay, but didn't in part because it would be too expensive, according to a former Trump administration official. Ex-DHS official Miles Taylor, known for secretly voicing his Trump criticisms while employed within the administration, appeared on MSNBC's Alex Witt Reports on Saturday and was discussing Trump's purported tendency to weaponize the justice system against his "adversaries." "A number of folks who worked in the Trump Administration with me and have since spoken out against the ex president, we joke darkly about the fact that in the second term, a number of us will be in orange jumpsuits in Guantanamo Bay," Taylor said, adding that the joke isn't entirely outside of the realm of reality. "I say that the comment is half facetious, because Donald Trump actually did have a vision, while I was in the administration, to go use the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay to house political prisoners," he said. "In that case what he wanted to do is use it to move people from the southern border to send a message and put them in the same place where people like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, sits behind bars, and send a message." He noted that "the only reason Donald Trump didn't start sending people to Gitmo" is because "he was convinced it would be too expensive, and the facility couldn't house the number of people he wanted to send there. That was the mindset of the man when he was president of the United States. Watch below or click the link here.
Trump ordering the extrajudicial assassination of Michael Reinoehl is still one that needs looking at. They (federal agents and state police) had every opportunity to arrest the guy but went with staging a scene where a hail of bullets happened on I feel certain, Trump's stated preference. "The first investigation was conducted by the Oregon State Police (OSP). The OSP investigation concluded that Reinoehl was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals in self-defense. The OSP investigation was criticized by some, who argued that it was not independent enough. The second investigation was conducted by the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The OIG investigation is still ongoing, but it has reportedly found that the U.S. Marshals did not follow their own policies in the shooting of Reinoehl."
https://www.kark.com/news/national/...ashington-state-files-wrongful-death-lawsuit/ Estate of anti-fascist shot and killed by police in Washington state files wrongful death lawsuit TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A federal lawsuit alleges police in Washington state had no plan other than to use deadly force against a fugitive who was on the run in 2020 after shooting a supporter of a far-right group during clashes between supporters of then-President Donald Trump and Black Lives Matter in the streets of Portland, Oregon. “The actions of the officers, before, during, and after the shooting, show that they either had no plan to arrest the man without injury, made no effort to follow such a plan, or planned to use deadly force from the start,” said the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Tacoma by the estate of Michael Forest Reinoehl, who identified as an anti-fascist. Reinoehl fatally shot Aaron “Jay” Danielson during chaotic clashes between racial injustice protesters and far-right groups who held a pro-Trump car rally in downtown Portland. The shooting attracted Trump’s attention and further inflamed tensions in Oregon’s largest city, which saw weeks of violent protests against racial injustice and police brutality following George Floyd’s murder. Reinoehl was caught on surveillance video shooting Danielson, a supporter of the far-right group Patriot Prayer, on Aug. 29, 2020, after a demonstration backing Trump. Trump cheered on the manhunt for Reinoehl, tweeting just before he was killed for police to “Do your job, and do it fast.”
"...Meanwhile, the officers sprayed more than 40 bullets through the neighborhood, killing (Reinoehl), grazing a child playing nearby, and striking cars, fences, backyard playground equipment, buildings, and residences..." This is a terrible problem plaguing law enforcement all across this country, with these young kids playing spray-and-pray with their high-cap 9mm pistols...No marksmanship training. I wish I could find that article from long ago in the last page (Parting Shot) of Guns and Ammo I read. To paraphrase... "A crusty old sheriff of some town was surrounded by young officers, pinned down by a mad gunman hiding behind a car. The officers around him kept hopping up and firing as fast as possible in the guy's direction with their hi-capacity magazines..."POP POP POP POP POP!" During a brief break in the melee, the sheriff stood up with his 6-shot wheelgun, a S&W .357 magnum, squared his shoulders and took aim, and when the perp stood up for another salvo..."BOOOM"! A single shot to the chest brought it all to an end just like that. There is something to be said for the patience, breath technique, trigger control, and all the other nuances of marksmanship that today's officer youths neither pay attention to nor practice."
The post was about the POTUS ordering up an extrajudicial execution for political benefit. They sprayed because that makes it difficult to investigate, it confuses witnesses. It was a hit, not an arrest. Trump has a history of calling for deaths.
Time for Trump to be locked up. Standard legal precedent to discourage like minded people from following through on their ( illegal ) ideas. The man is a clumsy dictator who is lost in mental illness. Any rational person would have known the gig is up and retire from politics not claim he won an election he lost.
