Trump considered sending political foes to Gitmo -- here's why he didn't: Ex-Trump official

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.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"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.

I think that is a marvelous idea. After convictions, send TOS and all the rest of them to GITMO for a long tropical vacation, including daily water sports.

62% of potential Republican primary voters said Trump has the best chance of beating Biden, matching a tracking high

Last week, Donald Trump skipped the Republican Party’s first primary debate and scored headlines instead as he surrendered to Georgia authorities, producing a historic presidential mug shot that was nearly impossible to miss. Now, his party’s expected electorate is viewing him as even more electable against President Joe Biden than it did before.

Trump could face copyright lawsuit for exploiting his mugshot

Donald Trump has raised a fortune by putting his mugshot taken at the Fulton County jail on merchandise hawked by his campaign – but it could come back to cost him.

Legal experts are warning sticking the image on T-shirts and other items could have opened his campaign up to copyright infringement complaints since law enforcement agencies hold the rights to images they circulate, Spectrum News reported.

Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law professor Betsy Rosenblatt says the photo has limits on how it's shared.

“You’re prohibited from using it for a number of things without authorization,” she said.

“You’re prohibited from reproducing it, making a derivative work of it, distributing it without authorization, or that is to say distributing anything that isn’t the one copy you already lawfully have, and various other things. Making a public display of it, making a public performance of it, which opens up all kinds of fascinating possibilities here.

Whether or not the Trump campaign will be sued for the use of the image is up to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, but Rosenblatt says that's unlikely since it is “not going to undertake the expense and trouble of hiring copyright counsel and sending out takedowns and cease and desist letters, or in lawsuits."

New York attorney general demands Trump be sanctioned for reusing 'frivolous' legal arguments

The New York Attorney General's Office has asked a judge to sanction former President Donald Trump and others for repeatedly using failed legal arguments.

New York Attorney General Letitia James' office proposed that defendants in the financial fraud case against the Trump Organization be fined $10,000 collectively. The judge was also asked to impose a $10,000 fine on defense attorneys.

"The Court rejected these arguments for a second time, noting that they 'were borderline frivolous even the first time defendants made them,' and observed that reading Defendants' brief 'was, to quote the baseball sage Lawrence Peter ('Yogi') Berra, 'Deja vu all over again,'" a court filing from James' office said.

According to James, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron can "impose financial sanctions upon any party or attorney in a civil action or proceeding who engages in frivolous conduct."

This evidence is now criminally destroyed!' Trump unloads on House J6 committee in latest tirade

Donald Trump on Tuesday took aim at the Jan. 6 House select committee, which the former president in his latest social media rant accused of improperly deleting and destroying evidence.

Trump suggested in a Truth Social post that “Deranged Jack Smith” should be "investigating the political Hacks & Thugs of the highly partisan January 6th Unselect Committee for tampering with, deleting, and destroying highly Confidential & Classified documents, pictures, tapes, evidence, and all forms of other important information."

"The highly partisan January 6th Committee of political Hacks and Thugs has been found to have DELETED & DESTROYED all evidence and findings of the recently ended Committee of TRUMP persecution and hatred," Trump wrote.

“This is a highly illegal act to, among other things, protect Crazy Nancy Pelosi for her grossly incompetent, or intentional, actions regarding her weak and inadequate response to security measures taken at the Capitol, for which she was responsible. This evidence is now criminally destroyed!” he continued.

Has Mattel created a life size Chatty Donnie Trump? Just pull his string and he spews forth the same repeated tirades over and over. I wonder if these attacks on Jack Smith would be in violation of the court order not to attack or threaten other people.
