Trump Can be Sued For January 6 Riot Injuries.


WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump can be sued by injured Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department said Thursday in a federal court case testing Trump’s legal vulnerability and the limits of executive power.

Although a president enjoys broad legal latitude to communicate to the public on matters of concern, the department wrote that “no part of a President’s official responsibilities includes the incitement of imminent private violence. By definition, such conduct plainly falls outside the President’s constitutional and statutory duties.”

The brief was filed by lawyers of the Justice Department’s Civil Division and has no bearing on a separate criminal investigation by a department special counsel into whether Trump can be criminally charged over efforts to undo President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election ahead of the Capitol riot. In fact, the lawyers note that they are not taking a position with respect to potential criminal liability for Trump or anyone else.
 
Well the Senate Majority leader did say:

“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

Civil court is different than criminal court.

They won't get a dime. A
 
Doubtful they could win, but it would be fun to see Trump in court for about 30 or so law suits
Yep.....that's the problem with you dickhead Democrats.
You think causing chaos and suffering is really funny shit.

Problem for the Traitor is this, there is video tape of 01-06-21 speech to his supporters fight like hell. As this video is in the public domain, it cannot be legally suppressed.
You can't cut the speech up and only use what you want.
The problem for you is where he tells them to go up to the Capital peacefully and protest, which is a constitutional right.
Nobody's going to win a case with that on the record.
You folks think you can censor all of the exculpatory evidence in court. (Not Gonna Happen) It ain't gonna be like that Kangaroo Court Jan 6th Committee bull shit. No more 3rd party hearsay evidence (gossup) or doctored evidence is allowed in court....and that's mostly what the 1/6 committee presented.
