This Jan 6 indictment is the first time I’ve thought Trump might actually get convicted.
Manhattan: weak case
Florida: strong case, unpredictable judge & jury pool, NatSec delays.
DC: strong case, more reliable judge & jury pool.
I think it’s urgent to schedule the DC trial first.

Trump Indicted in Connection with Jan. 6

A D.C. grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Yet another Trump Indictment.

Let's be clear. Trump was NOT indicted by Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Soros, Big Bird, Target, Wokeness, Disney World, the pride flag, critical race theory, or Barbie. Trump was indicted by private citizens—as the US Constitution requires. Period.

Love the smell of due process on a Tuesday.

For everyone who forgets that this was not just an unconstitutional attempt to stay in office, but an explicitly violent one
Trump telling Pence "you're too honest" when pence refuses to falsely certify trump
"Co-Conspirator 2 responded that there had previously been points in the nation's history where violence was necessary to protect the republic"

Historic indictment. Historic day. In this just-posted piece, I note that Trump in his alleged crimes had tens of millions of co-conspirators: MAGA Republicans who believed his lies—and still do. He and they remain a threat to American democracy. Please give it a read and pass it on.

The new Trump indictment will supercharge his war on American democracy

Trump was aided and abetted by millions of co-conspirators: the MAGA Republicans who bought his lies and still do.
