Posted on 04/14/2022 3:12:07 PM PDT by zeestephen

Thompson had admitted to entering the Capitol and stealing a bottle of liquor and a coat rack during the riots...But in a novel legal strategy, Thompson argued to the jury that he was acting at Trump's behest and that the former president is ultimately responsible for the mob that stormed the Capitol.

This is what happens when your Washington D.C. public defender is a neo-Marxist.

Yeah, he admitted all right. Right after a few hours of lying by the low life scum sucking outhouse dining POS DemocRAT vermin.

And this came from Reuters. You know, formerly Roto Rooters.

Journalism at its lowest, and we’re talkin’ right at the bottom.

"This is what happens when your Washington D.C. public defender is a neo-Marxist."

This what happens when you're a gutless wonder, and blame someone else for your thievery.

Guilty of being a lying idiot with an evil, corrupt, incompetent shyster lawyer.

Yes, they just laid a better trap than in Michigan.

Both were planned well in advance.

I disagree.

Marxist public defenders have no idea how to defend ANYONE without shrieking Racism or Capitalist Tool.

95% of the D.C. jury pool voted against Trump.

A successful defense requires that you find one juror with Conservative sympathies and infuse that juror with the political courage to hold out against the other eleven Leftists.

This is what happens when you will plead guilty to anything in order to get your life back after an authoritarian government misused its power to destroy you with false accusations.

There was no insurrection, there were a bunch of people who were justifiably angry that the election had apparently been stolen.

He gets no sympathy from me. He tried to appease the monsters thinking he’d get his 30 pieces of silver. What he got was exactly what you should expect from evil people.

Look at this another way, the jury didn’t believe he did it because Trump told him to, they believed he did it from his own stupidity. So, how can the Jan. 6 Committee blame Trump? This sets a precedent for Trump’s defense against idiots who entered the Capitol because they were stupid.
