Trump's Present and Future possible indictments

[Sixties Fan]

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial has expanded a gag order in the trial to extend to Trump’s attorneys after continued lengthy discussions about the judge’s communications with his law clerk during court this week.

In a written order Friday, Judge Arthur Engoron prohibited Trump’s attorneys from making any further comments about confidential communications between the judge and his staff inside or outside of the courtroom.

A person is disqualified from "Office under the United States" for engaging in an insurrection or rebellion against "the Constitution of the United States,” NOT for engaging in an insurrection or rebellion against "the United States” or "the authority of the United States

(though it's hard to imagine that an instance of the latter would not also constitute an insurrection or rebellion against the "Constitution of the United States").

While it's not clear they are even aware of this critical distinction, the former president's lawyers are instead arguing before the courts in Colorado and Minnesota that he did not incite or engage in a violent insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

It is exponentially easier for them to establish that the former president did not engage in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States than it would be to establish that he did not engage in an insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States.

Unfortunately, the parties and lawyers challenging the former president’s qualification do not appear to appreciate the critical distinction either, because they are trying to establish that the former president did incite a violent insurrection on the Capitol on January 6.

While the violent attack on the Capitol is certainly relevant to the question presented under Section 3, it is only tangentially so. The compelling case for those challenging the former president’s qualification for the presidency

is that the former president engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States. This case does not depend on a violent attack on the Capitol. As I explained previously and again yesterday, the former president's

effort, plan, and attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in order to remain in power beyond the constitutionally prescribed four-year term in the Constitution’s Executive Vesting Clause is the quintessential “rebellion against the Constitution of the United States.”

In fact, it could hardly be any clearer that this violation of the Constitution is exactly what the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment considered to be an “insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States."

FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub on Thursday said her Republican colleagues have effectively put former President Donald Trump “in [a] category by himself” by refusing to investigate at least 28 instances where the agency’s professional staff determined that Trump or his family members likely violated regulations. In a statement, Weintraub revealed that there are at least 58 instances where the Federal Election Commission heard allegations against Trump. In at least 28 of those, staff at the Office of General Counsel determined that a criminal investigation was warranted—all of which went overlooked by Republican commissioners, who refused to approve any of Counsel’s recommendations against Trump. “My colleagues purport to be treating the former President and the current President alike, but the data is clear: At the FEC, Mr. Trump is in category by himself,” Weintraub said.
