This has been the plan all along. Now they admit it.

I knew it.

There is a reason they keep using the word "insurrection".

“insurrection” isn’t available in the dictionary.

Alan B. Morrison is an associate dean at George Washington University Law School where he teaches constitutional law.

(Wow)

what would the complaint letter look like?

how about “lack of jurisdiction”? (what jurisdiction btw? lawsuit implies to me civil, not criminal, although insurrection implies to me criminal, not civil... so are some legal wires being hotwired here?)

how about “lack of standing?”

how about “separation of powers”?

that’s all i can come up with in a few minutes, but i note in passing that the terms jurisdiction, complaint, and civil are not used in the essay. without the use of these terms, i am puzzled on how any such lawsuit could proceed... which imho brings up “due process.”

i think that the word lawsuit does not mean what mr. morrison thinks it means...

He called house leaders multiple times asking if they wanted extra police. They turned him down.

He called for the protestors to be peaceful.

There was no attempt to stay in the white house after the stolen election.

If this was insurrection its the weakest most fail of one ever attempted.

Leftists contradict themselves yet again. They sure seem scared of Trump winning a (third) general election. Why? I thought they had plenty of “scientific” proof that the American people “rejected” Trump as a “clown,” “insurrectionist,” “racist,” and “incompetent” on the covid issue.

You don’t write something like this about someone who CANNOT win the next presidential election.

Democrats are such a complete failure, they think their only hope is a lawless, desperation move like this.

They can try it but it would backfire and only make Trump more popular than ever. Everybody would instantly see this as the corrupt political move that it is....an attempt at lawfare to take out an opponent they know they can’t beat. The public backlash would be massive.

and even supposing it succeeds which I find extremely difficult to believe but just supposing....are they gonna do any better against DeSantis?

Attempts to disqualify a popular candidate from a Presidential election will surely backfire on the Democrats.

What this amounts to is partisan Democrats trying to telling the voters who they can and can’t vote for - it won’t go over well.

I guess they missed the part about a write-in candidate.

What “insurrection”? The only person that was urging invasion of the Capitol was a guy named Ray Epps, who is wandering about free as a bird on the wing. Yet he never owned up to his part in the whole fiasco, and apparently has been given a complete pass by the FBI.

Add to that the security that simply threw open the gates and let the swarm in, the Antifa and BLM masquerading as MAGA, the large crowd on real Trump supporters, and the merely curious at this impromptu tour of the Capitol.

The only death by gunfire was a white female, murdered by a black Capitol police officer.

An insurrection with no weapons. Hmmm, interesting concept.

The only thing Trump was a threat to was their corruption. And those wanting harm to the U.S. Incredible what they’re going through to stop him. (Thank God Clinton Inc. hasn’t been contacted yet)

And it will fail. Nobody tried to take over the govt , I mean they literally had no firepower. For all the bluster about Trump not aquiescing power, he did. All the gaslighting in the world cannot change the facts of that day sorry.

Lets take these one by one:

Select Committee testimony has demonstrated that he knew he had no good factual or legal basis for his claim that the election was stolen - not a crime to not listen to or believe your advisors.

that he knew Vice President Mike Pence was not going to save him - not a crime

and that his only chance to remain in the White House was to stop the final ratification by Congress on Jan. 6. - not a crime to ask your followers to protest

The testimony has also demonstrated that he knew some in the crowd assembled to hear him speak were armed - not a crime for some protesters to exercise their 2nd amendment right to bear arms.

, that a mob was heading to the Capitol, - not a crime for protester to head toward capital

and that it was clearly in his power to call off the insurrection but instead of trying to stop the violence, he chose to do nothing. - He called for a peaceful protest, things got out of hand and he eventually did tell them to please stop, just not as fast as “some” would of liked. Many of which said he acted to FAST over to harshly to the DC riots just prior to this. So again, not a crime.

There it is, as it always is:

NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED BY TRUMP.
