A federal judge in Washington, DC, questioned former President Donald Trump's actions during his speech on January 6, 2021, as he considers for the first time whether Trump is immune from liability related to his supporters attacking the US Capitol.
During a court hearing Monday, Judge Amit Mehta pointed out repeatedly that Trump on January 6 asked the crowd to march to the Capitol, but that he didn't speak up for two hours asking people to stop the violence.
In the year since the US Capitol attack, judges remind us what it means to be American "The words are hard to walk back," Mehta said. "You have an almost two-hour window where the President does not say, 'Stop, get out of the Capitol. This is not what I wanted you to do.'"
"What do I do about the fact the President didn't denounce the conduct immediately ... and sent a tweet that arguably exacerbated things?" the judge asked. "Isn't that, from a plausibility standpoint, that the President plausibly agreed with the conduct of the people inside the Capitol that day?"

They know he will crush whoever is running in 2024
People arent going to stand for presidential election theft twice against the same most popular president in a long time.
Deport Mehta
wait.. don’t you have to be guilty of something for liability?
If this is the New Standard, Not speaking up, then shouldn’t EVERY last person that works for CNN be Charged, Prosecuted, convicted and EXECUTED for “Not Speaking Up” during the Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow the United States Presidency??
NO ask OJ!!!!
What about everyone of them NOT speaking up during the riots in the summer of 2020 instead egging them on AND bailing them out of jail!!!
My point exactly, this could easily be used Against the Entire Demonrat Party and Every LAST PRESSTITUTE in America. And to tell you the truth, AG’s and DA’s should be going to Grand Juries all across RED States tomorrow to secure Indictments against ALL OF THEM.
Hey Judge...wanna really start something and see how America feels about Jan. 6, illegals, inflation, mandates....???

He was a public defender for DC defendants at one time.
He was POTUS.
He was above the law at that time.
Indisputable.
Mehta is a spawn of the democrats.
Amit Mehta....
Amit Mehta....
Amit Mehta....
We know how this communist POS is going to decide...
HE SAID PEACEFULLY !!!
This is BS.
If THIS is true then Pelosi and Schumer are directly responsible for ALL the damage BLM and AntiFa did WORLDWIDE in the summer of 2020
Trump just tore into Mike Rounds, who has turned into a complete POS RINO.
Don’t go anywhere near the Mitthole called DC - their courts are stacked with puppet-stooges for the Lefties.
Bullshit judge. His timeline is off and he can’t legally apply a “what Trump might have thought” to what happened when he wasn’t even there. Gross judicial misconduct and grounds for a recusal.
Judges are “finders of fact”, not mindreaders !
Judges are finders of law. Juries are finders of facts. At least in the USA.
You're close, oh soooooooooo close to what the real question should be.
If this is the new standard, not speaking up, then shouldn't every last DEMOCRAT who remained silent during the "summer of love" where cities across America were burned, Federal Agents attacked, LEO's killed, businesses burned and lives ruined, be charged, prosecuted and convicted of NOT SPEAKING UP during the 2020 summer long insurrection by Antifa and BLM?
That's the real question right there.
