Federal Judge Warns Of A Jan. 6 Repeat In The 2024 Election

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., warned Thursday that Donald Trump could provoke a Jan. 6-style attack with another call to arms in response to the 2024 election.

U.S. District Judge Rudy Contreras made his comments from the bench during the sentencing of a Jan. 6 rioter. Noting that Trump and his allies had “spurred” the attack, the judge expressed concern that the defendant before him would respond to a similar “call” in the future.

“It doesn’t take much imagination to imagine a similar call coming out in the coming months,” Contreras said.

This is, by my count, at least the third federal judge sitting in DC who has publicly warned of the threat we still face right now – not just the retrospective assigning of blame for what happened in the 2020 election, but actively and frantically sending out alerts that we may face more political violence ahead.

I think it's a mistake to think of a threat in terms of a repeat of the 1/6 riot Trump inspired. I'm sure Mike Johnson will have the Capital Police prepared this time (just kidding on two counts).

The more salient point is Trump maintains control over potentially violent followers who he has proven willing to unleash on any governmental body he sees fit. If not with actual violence, which have been less frequent, then with threats of it.

The reflexive reaction of Trump's defenders no doubt displaying, without realizing it, how the violence associated with Trumpery has been normalized.

The federal judges sentencing the insurrectionists seem to have no problem whatsoever stating that Trump incited them.

The Judicial System Is Failing Democracy​

In retrospect, I came into the Trump era with way too much confidence that the legal system was up to the task. The last eight years have been humbling in that regard.

As a lawyer-turned-editor, I cautioned my reporting team not to be impatient with the pace and deliberation of legal processes. These things take time. Don’t be hot-headed about it. Chill out. Let things run their course.

The sometimes plodding pace of the system is by design, more a feature than a bug. There’s an entire vernacular around the downsides of too-swift justice: “rough justice,” “lynch mob,” “show trial,” “railroaded.” The list is long.

In the early days of the Trump presidency, efforts to obtain his tax returns or enforce the Emoluments Clause were slow, clumsy, and sometimes reluctantly undertaken by Democrats in Congress. I was inclined to excuse that slowness. But as the threat mounted and become more obvious and the reaction to it failed to rise to the challenge, my own sense of urgency began to change.

When the travesties of the Trump presidency accumulated and potential accountability shifted from the political to legal realms, especially after the Jan. 6 attack, I feared that the legal system was more inclined to sweep it all under the rug than confront it. A lot of our coverage was focused on framing the Jan. 6 attack as merely the culmination of a broad, months-long conspiracy to subvert the election. While the attack on the Capitol did historic damage and finally started to stir law enforcement into action, over-focusing on the physical attack would miss the myriad other ways the election had been subverted using the powers of the executive branch.

Federal Judges Warn Of The Dire Threat To Democracy

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This...

It is debatable as to whether the judicial system is up to the task in dealing with the many ways Trump has exploited its vulnerabilities.

So, you want to end it is your way of dealing with it huh.

Seems like you are more interested in ending Democracy than any of us.

 

[Hum Dinger]

I'm beginning to wonder if we're careening towards a "dog catches car" moment.

They're making progress towards their goal of breaking down our foundations, without giving much (if any) thought to what that would actually look like.

The Founders didn't envision this, and I think the Bannon types know that.

Apparently, Putin's plan is working.

He's always wanted to avenge the demise of the Soviet Union.

Thanks for the link.

"The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak
information damaging to Hillary Clinton..."

Leaking actual DNC emails damaged Hillary? That's awful!
What did they say?

STEELE 'DOSSIER'
The committee found the FBI gave "unjustified credence" to a "dossier" of purportedly damaging information about Trump's dealings with Russia prepared for Clinton Campaign lawyers by former British spy Christopher Steele.

The fake Russian dossier led to the FBI spying on the Trump campaign?
Why wasn't Hillary charged for colluding with Russia?

Because she didn't break the law.

Depends on the kind of help. Candidates can't legally accept financial donations from foreign entities. So if Putin wanted to send a donation to Trump's campaign rather than support in "sweeping and systematic" ways, as described by Mueller, he couldn't. But what Vlad did for Don can't be measured in dollars.

Campaign of Fear​

The Trump world’s assault on U.S. election workers​

The people who administer U.S. elections – from poll workers and ballot counters to county clerks and secretaries of state – have endured a year of terroristic threats from supporters of former President Donald Trump, inspired by his false assertions of widespread fraud in the 2020 vote. The result, as Reuters chronicled in this agenda-setting series of reports, has been a campaign of intimidation that is stressing the foundation of American democracy.

That “dire warning from the bench” is in response to Trump saying “. . . peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

We should be warning ourselves about a politically charged judiciary.

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

Election officials and their families are living with threats of hanging, firing squads, torture and bomb blasts, interviews and documents reveal. The campaign of fear, sparked by Trump's voter-fraud falsehoods, threatens the U.S. electoral system.
