Should former President Obama sue President Trump now that the FBI has said Obama did not have surveillance ordered on Trump?

I know he won't.
But I think he should.

Suing Trump will bring Trump to court to defend his lies, his "allegations", and his "alternative facts". At the moment he just sends out his pooper-scoopers to deal with his s***.

Obama can legitimately claim that Trump has defamed him by falsely imprinted in the minds of millions of people around the world that Obama had Trump and Trump Tower "wire tapped".

Trump apparently has billlions of dollars.
Perhaps if he has to shake some out of his wallet whenever he lies and tweets fabrications and conspiracy theories, he will think twice.

But that implies he has thinks first, to begin with.
He doesn't.
He parrots Fox News, Alex Jones, and a host of wing-nut theorists.

Let him put his moneynwhere his lying mouth is.


Trump knows Obama won't sue.
And that's the shame of it.

I'm wishing he would.
But I believe Obama will put America first, and not sue this unhinged, immature, and embarrassing Tweeter in Chief.

i looked this up. the supreme court ruled (5-4) : the President is entitled to absolute immunity from liability for civil damages based on his official position. trump can do as he pleases (apparently).

Wow. Fascinating! Thanks for the heads up.

I guess this is why his pooper scoopers keep reiterating this is his official position.

It's actually "official acts." That doesn't mean he's immune from the law.

@Ynotisay: ohhhhhh, do explain...

Do you mean his saying it unofficially, like at 6:30 in the morning, when not officially speaking for the Goverment.....,means he could have to answer for it?

Or am I merely wishful thinking my interpretation into your post?

@Ynotisay: in this case - our supreme court would disagree with you: trump can lie about others. (it doesn't make it right - but this is the laws of our country. )

@tenente: I wouldn't imagine it getting to the Supreme Court but he is not immune from all laws.
If interested, there's a solid article on Slate that explains the precedent and legal options.
