Leading House Democrat sues Trump under a post-Civil War law for conspiracy to incite US Capitol riot

[DrLove]

Interesting new development -- Donald is going to be spending a lot of time in court.

Former President Donald Trump and attorney Rudy Giuliani are being accused of conspiring with the far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to incite the January 6 insurrection in a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court by the Democratic chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee that cites a post-Civil War law designed to combat violence and intimidation by the Ku Klux Klan.​

​

The lawsuit, filed by Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson in his personal capacity, is the first civil action filed against the former President related to the attack at the US Capitol and comes days after the Senate acquitted Trump in his impeachment trial.​

​

If it proceeds, it would mean the former President and others would be subject to discovery and depositions, potentially exposing details and evidence that weren't released during the Senate impeachment trial.​

​

The NAACP is backing the lawsuit and helping to represent Thompson in court.​

​

"As part of this unified plan to prevent the counting of Electoral College votes," the lawsuit states, "Defendants Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, through their leadership, acted in concert to spearhead the assault on the Capitol while the angry mob that Defendants Trump and Giuliani incited descended on the Capitol.​

​

The carefully orchestrated series of events that unfolded at the Save America rally and the storming of the Capitol was no accident or coincidence. It was the intended and foreseeable culmination of a carefully coordinated campaign to interfere with the legal process required to confirm the tally of votes cast in the Electoral College."​

"The lawsuit offers a new avenue for Democrats to try to hold Trump accountable for his role in the Capitol riot after the acquittal."

Just another "avenue" for the Dems to plow through; just to waste more time and money. The Dems surely love to spend...spend....spend!

A U.S. Congressman sued former President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, claiming they conspired to incite last month’s riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Working with the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, Trump and Giuliani "acted in concert to incite and then carry out" the Capitol insurrection, according to a complaint by Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss.

This idiot just placed, in writing, a false claim.. This guy has no ability at introspection.. Its going to be a brutal slap down... I wonder if he realizes he can be held criminally and civilly liable for this slander? Hope this idiot has proof or he is going to be paying out millions to Donald Trump..

 

[Justin Richardson]

DrLove Regardless, even if it isn't the Dems. It is a Democratic Congressman. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss). I am sure the Dems are behind and supporting this crap.

And?

You said the Dems love wasting money. Again, "the Dems" are not involved and will waste no money. The NAACP and other groups will likely pick up the lion's share of the cost.
