6 in 10 say Trump should face criminal charges for Jan 6 role: ABC poll.
lol- would love to see the sampling for these shit polls. But further problems than this exist for Cheney and the rabid lib committee.
- The law is clear on political speech.
- Trump’s own words contradict the theory that he created or motivated the events that day.
- His tweets that day implore people to “go home in peace”
- Cheney just admitted that there is evidence of a plan prior to the Jan 6 event which would immediately demand an explanation for blaming Trump. They would now have to implicate Trump on those plans they allege they have evidence of (PS, i think it’s all shot and they are just throwing as much shit against the wall because no one really cares).
- We have evidence that it was actually Capitol Police that allowed citizens protesting on the premises and in the Capitol itself.
If I’m a lawyer for the defense here there is so much to work with. It’s a joke of an allegation.
false. This is clearly sedition and an attempt to defraud the United States of America
Which ones? Per testimony from the people in the rooms…you’re proven incorrect.
Hours later and while praising the insurrectionists. While it was happening he was stoking the violence by attacking Mike Pence. Btw, they filmed it inside…apparently, nobody knew. That film is coming
False. Bad logic. The intent of the trials is to expose how it WAS pre-planned and one of the 7 steps at attempting a coup against the United States. Comically, it’s funny you’re now on the side of it being pre-planned. Btw, Trump’s group and staff pre-planned it. It’s on Congressional record. You should watch those hearings.
Only after breaches occurred at 2 other spots and the 5 checkpoints outside were already overrun by violent, domestic terrorists. At that point, there no strategic benefit to that location and putting the officers in more harm
I wouldn’t hire you to wipe your own ass. I’d take that bet in a heartbeat
I’m not on the side of it being preplanned. I’m simply stating that the prosecution has a contradiction. Now they must marry Trump into the preplanning in order to ensnare him. They’ve violated Occum’s razor by adding an unnecessary element to the case.
But they most likely did it because the case against Trump sporadically planning this while giving a speech was so light it was laughable.
I don’t think you understand my statement. I refer you to the following 3 settled cases as precedent.
|constitutional.||Mills v. State of Alabama (1966)
Burson v. Freeman (1992)|

I’m referring to his words while making his speech on Jan 6. It’s public record and nothing he said could be misconstrued as an order to attack the Capitol.
Doesn’t really matter. As I cited, his words during the speech are exculpatory. The time difference (and there should be one since people had to travel to the Capitol and the events had to ensue or else there’d be nothing for him to comment on) is irrelevant and consistent.
It’s a good taking point but not enough. The Capitol is heavily fortified with not only police, but technology that would have stopped anyone from entering. Let’s say someone did breech as you say…. And? You’re asserting that hundreds…. Thousands should be allowed in because one or a handful breached? Why not just deal with the breachers and maintain order with the others? Because as I continue to say…. It was a plot…. But not by Trumpers.
Well- whether you would or not is irrelevant. If there is a “trial” or hearing or another impeachment (lol) we’ll all see who is right.
My batting average with these things has been 1.000
I didn’t read all the nitty gritty, but I’m with GSC that Trump won’t be charged merely on his speech, his inaction, and his assertions that the election was rigged.
If they want to charge an ex-president, they’re gonna need a smoking gun. a recording or a paper trail or something tying him to the plans to obstruct Congress.
Aside from that, this stuff is political theater.

If the Dems had a chance to get Trump indicted, they would have done so already.
Trump should be more worried about the Southern District of New York than Jan 6.
“Stoking”
“While Praising”
Lol…Always room for interpretation…At least when it benefits them.

For me, this is more about setting the historical record straight for those who refuse to believe in reality. Thanks to all the conservatives on the committee and those conservatives whom have stood up to tell the truth in front of the committee we have the official record.

I think the next hope is that we can develop legislation that will protect us from this in the future.
Cherry On Top
If they have a smoking gun, they should try him and see what the court thinks for a conviction.
I’m fine winning 1/3 and not eating a cherry which can only be determined through a court of law. Hopefully we can get to 2/3.
So more than likely a big fat air ball?
This thread should be titled that the majority of Americans now prefer Trump to Biden. Small wonder inasmuch as retirement accounts have lost $3.4 trillion in value under the numb skull in the White House. Only idiots think things are better since the Dems took control. We’re lucky if our recession doesn’t turn into a depression. This is the worst inflation we’ve seen in 41 years, and this is just the beginning of the recession.
I have not watched a second of the Jan 6 hearings. Speaking of Russia, we’re outdoing the Kremlin in staging what are tantamount to show trials where there is a prosecution but no defense.
