Trump and Giuliani being sued for what??

A congressman has filed a civil suit for damages, charging Trump and Giulinai over the Washington Insurrection.
Lets start with the court statement:
"The insurrection was the result of a carefully orchestrated plan by Trump, Giuliani and extremist groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, all of whom shared a common goal of employing intimidation, harassment and threats to stop the certification of the electoral college," a press release announcing the lawsuit stated.
Ok.. Now whats wrong with this picture???
Trump never had a carefully orchestrated plan in his life.. and Giulianis record speaks for itself Now I have no doubt they insited the riot and insurrection. But calling a carefully orchestrated plan is a Loooong brige too far. Still. It will be interesting to see how it plays out..😷

January 6th was all about disrupting the counting of the Electoral Votes.

It was about disrupting an essential part of the peaceful transfer of power.

It was orchestrated by Trump and his cohorts. Carefully thought out or not, it was his plan to pressure Congressional Republicans and the Vice President to set aside the results of the election. Just look at what he had done and said since the election.

@Pikachu Nothing like a one-trick pony.
This is what it’s based upon...
[quote] Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) alleged in federal court in Washington that Trump and Giuliani’s false claims that the election was stolen fomented a raid that violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, an 1871 law enacted after the Civil War to bar violent interference in Congress’s constitutional duties.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump, Giuliani and self-styled militia members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys sought to harass and impede lawmakers, and temporarily succeeded, forcing Thompson and others to don gas masks and take cover on the House gallery floor before being evacuated to shelter in the Longworth House Office Building with more than 200 other representatives, staffers and relatives...

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), chair of the House Judiciary subcommittee on courts, and Bonnie Watson (D-N.J.), chair of the Homeland Security subcommittee on transportation, expect to join the suit, said Thompson, who is being represented by the NAACP and Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll.
“Donald Trump has tried to destroy the nation, and we will not let him get away with it,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said.
The lawsuit tests rarely litigated and long unvisited areas of law.

And in other news, apparently Trump fired Giuliani as his counsel of record today. Figures, doesn’t it ? It’s like a freaking soap opera.

@bijouxbroussard Believe me when I say that with this disatnce I think the whole thing is hilarious.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman I’ve no doubt that to the rest of the world it’s beyond absurd. 😄

@bijouxbroussard Indeed - but sad not amusing to America's allies; and God's Gift to the many governments that officially despise the USA and "Western" way of life.

{@whowasthatmaskedman ] much as as critic i have been on trump i say good luck with latest attempted to nail trump for something .they have tried and failed twice with impeachment procedures . this is starting to look like a personal vendetta now .i cannot see why they are going down this road again as where these charges not in his impeachment trial . alas it does seem wrong trump has escaped justice as he is guilty as charge but some how it has not been proved . do not bother wasting your time it is seems nothing sticks to telflon don or the devil is looking after his own

@JeanAnna The upside of this being that while Trump will lose for various reasons the likes of McConnell McCarty and Graham will be damaged as well. In the end the Trumpers are not strong enough to win enough to take any power themselves. The genuine old school Republicans will be hurt and lose power. But they are the only hope for the right in the end,. This election showed that with congress the senate and the Presidency. Either way Republicans are in for a term or three in the wilderness to sort themselves out.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman It's shameful the way the Republicans are acting, it used to be a good party, but now it's turned into a cult. The way people are clinging to Trump is really scary, even a preacher in our community, in the pulpit, said that the election was stolen. Wow. I couldn't believe it.

@JeanAnna convict president Trump, for what, exactly
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
There was an overarching conspiracy between various parties to stop the count of the electoral college and ultimately to overturn the election result.

This is being taken so seriously by investigators that they are considering using racketeering laws to charge.

Trump , Giuliani et al are already in serious legal jeopardy and we have only just scratched the surface of what actually occurred.

@RodionRomanovitch Which will quickly get buried in committee when the facts appear

The Republican party are fighting for their lives and the future of their party.
The Democrats are out for blood and the electorate.......remember them ? want to see 'justice' done for the five who died in the end result.

This is just another 'tactic' in trying to draw a line under the whole thing by attempting to apportion 'blame' on somebody no longer able to influence things
JeanAnna · F
@bijouxbroussard Exactly, it's scary to know that there are people like her out there in this world and more scarier that people agree with her. She's crazy.

I was hoping we wouldn't hear much about Trump after the election, but he's still dominating the news. Geez.....

@JeanAnna While Trumps news making power is unabated, the difference will be that he will no longer be controlling the narrative. He has thrown the Republican Establishment under a bus and is fast running out of friends while the storm clouds of outrage gather. President Biden has said he is sick of hearing about it all as he should be.But there is a certain morbid fascination in seeing trainwreck Trump'21 unfold. Here is the developing story::

@JeanAnna you keep hearing about President Trump, because they are scared of him
RedBaron · M
Maybe they can be sued for lying about the election being stolen.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@RedBaron And now you have this. Enjoy.
RedBaron · M
@sunsporter1649 Oh I am, rest assured. Nice to have a sane, reasonable, and classy president leading and representing the nation again as opposed to the biggest crook since Nixon.

"plays out" LOL -- if 2 witch hunts failed to snag him plus some cooked up Russian thing - then he's pretty much safe from the crazies.

@MarmeeMarch But he is out of the rarified world of politics where he was a protected species into the real world of criminal and civil law now. This $h*t just got real... Better call Saul.. Sauls brother.. and his second cousin on his fathers side. Trump is about to be buried in paper.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman Glad you think so little of the guy - but I am afraid he has plenty of power as a civie. He has support from nearly half of America - he has support from republicans all over the place. I have been hearing this for a while now. Aint going to happen. But the paper part might and his team will work on that while he works on his back-swing.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@MarmeeMarch I dont doubt that will be the case. The last part anyway. Denial was alwaus his long suit.😷
ididntknow · 51-55, M
What would you call the riots, looting and burning in the summer by BLM and Antifa, mainly peaceful ?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ididntknow No.. and people were arrested and beaten for that. Thank you for pointing that out.
