"Donald Trump Wants Jan. 6 Police to Be Charged for Fighting Rioters"
Damn straight he isn't. Inciting a mob to violence and insurrection isn't a "protected political activity" or any "core function of the job of being President".

WaPo: Donald Trump can be held civilly liable for the actions of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, an appeals court ruled Friday in a long-awaited decision that could clear the way for lawsuits seeking financial damages from the former president. // YAY!
"Appeals court rules Trump doesn’t have immunity from civil suits over Jan. 6 riots"
"The appellate court was asked to decide whether Trump’s false claims of election fraud and rallying cry for supporters to gather at the Capitol and 'fight like hell' was outside his presidential responsibilities, meaning he could be held liable for it under U.S. Supreme Court precedent."
"The ruling clears the way for Trump to face lawsuits from police officers and US lawmakers seeking to hold him responsible for the violence by his supporters during the riot, which was an attempt to overturn his 2020 election defeat."
[...]
"The civil suits will only add to the significant legal problems the former president faces. In total, Trump already faces 91 felony charges."

#BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled that Donald #Trump *can* be sued for inciting the #Jan6 crowd. He is not "immune" because he was president, the circuit rules.
Details of the ruling to come soon. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.38510/gov.uscourts.cadc.38510.2029465.0.pdf
And now two more imprisoned from #Trump's Goober Army https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePs5Q1whhe0 #jan6
“Let me get this straight,” Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the committee, said. “After wailing and moaning for ten months about Hunter Biden and alluding to some vast unproven family conspiracy, after sending Hunter Biden a subpoena to appear and testify, Chairman Comer and the Oversight Republicans now reject his offer to appear before the full Committee and the eyes of the world and to answer any questions that they pose?"

On this episode, they debate: updates in the NY Civil Fraud case and Trump’s new witnesses and attacks on the Judge and his wife; developments in the Georgia criminal case against Trump, Chesebro cooperating with the Feds, and why the prosecutor is not interesting in cutting a deal with Trump, Giuliani or Meadows; developments in the DC election interference case as the court sorts out new Trump motions aimed at delaying the trial; and new developments in the under the radar criminal case against Trump, the Stormy Daniels hush money cover up and business record criminal fraud case, and so much more at the intersection of law, justice and politics.

Vote for Trump and get fascism and more violence against fellow Americans. He couldn't make himself any clearer. He always tells us what he has in store.
Via Kyle Cheney:
#Trump, on [Lies] Social, has reposted a call for Capitol Police officers defending the lower west terrace tunnel — where the most intense violence occurred on #Jan6 — to face charges for using batons to beat back the onslaught.
#ICYMI, #TheOrangeMenace is ACTUALLY arguing in court that the reason he did what he did on #Jan6 is b/c no one trusted the outcome FOLLOWING RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN 2016 (the interference he Repeatedly insisted was #FakeNews and never actually happened.) #Chutzpah #GOPHypocrisy https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/campaign-notes-sound-in-trump-s-grasping-criminal-defense-199042629680
Our democracy hangs on by a thread 🧵
"Pence wrote in his notes, “Not feeling like I should attend electoral count. Too many questions, too many doubts, too hurtful to my friend. Therefore I'm not going to participate in certification of election." The “friend” Pence refers to must be Trump himself; Pence didn’t want to distress the president by forcing him to confront the fact that he had lost an election fair and square.”
With ‘friends' like Trump…🤔

We've had no evidence before
Of what those on Jan. 6 had in store
But now we know
What Mike Pence did show
With "damning" details that can't be ignored
81) in a bizarre twist to the #Jan6 insurrection case, #DonaldTrump’s lawyers are now citing Russian election interference in 2016 as a reason for #Trump’s distrust of the 2020 election result
Trump has long denied, Russia’s efforts as a contributing factor in his 2016 election victory. Expecting factual consistency from the former president and his lawyers is not to be expected if a legal advantage is possible
There is a wriggling, trapped worm desperate to escape where #KevinMcCarthy's spine should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QxPnmNjTnU #trump #republican #GOP #Jan6 #Russia
The judge who spearheaded the judiciary’s response to the storming of the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, blamed that event on “big lies” and warned that the country is in danger of turning toward #authoritarianism.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/28/jan-6-authoritarian-threat-democracy-00129013
NEW: Judge who led DC court that handled brunt of legal fallout from #Jan6 warns of 'authoritarian' threat from 'big lies.' Beryl Howell alludes to danger of Trump's fact-challenged rhetoric as his trial looms in courthouse she oversaw for 7 years.
I am warning about appellate court Trump-appointees Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas, both Clarence Thomas clerks.
Both have blocked two different investigations of HUGE significance into Donald Trump and Scott Perry's phone.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/28/jan-6-authoritarian-threat-democracy-00129013
"Trump embraces the Jan. 6 rioters on the trail. In court, his lawyers hope to distance him from them"
"Donald Trump has embraced the rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as patriots, vowed to pardon a large portion of them if he wins a second term and even collaborated on a song with a group of jailed defendants.
In his election interference case in Washington, his lawyers are taking a different tack."
I’m not including a screenshot of this J6 guy, but “loser” would not be inaccurate.
Via Lawrence O’Donnell:
Trump lawyers say this guy is an "undercover agent." They don't explain why prosecutors are putting their "undercover agents" in prison for 3 years.

His lawyers have asked for all info regarding govt informants on #Jan6--but NOT because he thought they instigated/entrapped the mob. Rather because their presence marked a failure of "adequate controls" on it. #legal

It’s really quite something that the former Vice President of the United States, in his public narrative about the events leading up to Jan. 6, left out the part where his 20-something son tells the VP to put on his big boy pants #Trump #Jan6
"As a Republican Party, if we're going to offer good solid policy answers to the real challenges we face in America, we've got to get past the lies and we've got to have credibility with the American public."
"Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen or talks about the election being stolen is lying to America…. Everyone who makes the argument that January 6 was, you know, an unguided tour of the Capitol is lying to America."

I don’t understand why the media and the American people are more focused on the fact that a judge ruled #Trump can be on the #Colorado ballot & less on the #BOMBSHELL that for the first time, a judge has ruled Trump INCITED THE #JANUARY6th #INSURRECTION. It’s the first full throttle acknowledgment of his role since the #House #Jan6 Committee released their findings.
Here’s what else her ruling detailed (source #washingtonpost).
The whole situation surrounding #Trump has caused irreparable damage to the US
Americans term themselves the leaders of the free world & the cradle of democracy, but the events on #Jan6 made a mockery of those claims
I watched the Jan 6 Inquiry, & was shocked to see the #ProudBoys dressed in military fatigues, using military comms, rifles, grenades, cable ties etc, & actually making it into the chamber trying to overthrow the government! 😳

We can't let this man back into office.
"we’re likely to see presentations of serene-seeming footage captured on Capitol Hill offered as proof that the scale of the riot was overstated, as though a hallway without a rioter is somehow a counterpoint to a hallway filled with them.
It’s like a bank robber presenting at trial footage from all the banks he didn’t stick up in an effort to suggest that the charges against him are exaggerated."

As Matt Ford notes, Republicans have cried Voter fraud! repeatedly to keep legitimate voters from voting, when the GOP could offer no proof of its claims of non-existent voter fraud. But what the Republican scheme to overturn the 2020 election has shown us clearly is that Republicans themselves are the real voter fraud threat and have been all along.

In reference to House #Republicans dumping most #Jan6 video footage and focusing on the least offensive bits, here's Wortel at the hellsite:
@GottaLaff I really hope this pause lasts longer than a sneeze.

The OA video will exclude footage that "compromise[s] security" or "doxes, or harasses private individuals."
#Republicans made the decision. Dem #JoeMorelle objected on security grounds.
Recall that in Feb 2023, #KevinMcCarthy gave 41k hours of footage to #TuckerCarlson, but not to the public.

What the hell? The President can conduct insurrection? What bat shit world is this?
Article: Colorado judge finds Trump engaged in insurrection, but rejects constitutional ballot challenge
**CO ALLOWS TRUMP ON BALLOT**
Mueller She Wrote on a just announced Colorado Court decision over whether Trump is constitutionally barred from running for election, given the 14th Amendment bars "officers of the United States" from holding office, and Trump's involvement in #Jan6 insurrection.
The court determined Trump did engage in insurrection, but that the constitution did not include President as a position of "officer".
A #Colorado judge ruled on Fri that #Trump can remain on the ballot in the state, rejecting the argument that he is disqualified by §3 of the #14thAmendment for his actions before & during the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, by engaging in #insurrection against the #Constitution after taking an oath to support it.

@GottaLaff. An interesting perspective on not having cameras but I think the benefits of providing #sunshine on this heaping mountain of #corruption outweighs the negatives, & boy, there are a lot of negatives. He will do whatever he can to elicit violence -- in or out of the court. Let's see it and hear it. If #Trump's team convinces #Chutkan that not having cameras violates his due process, let's do it.
