Trump has just put out a video BEGGING Congress to investigate the "corrupt FBI" and "corrupt DOJ". Does he even know how Separation of Powers works?

I can't believe how Trump is behaving now.
He thinks he can say whatever he wants about the court proceedings and defendants under first amendment rights, but this is once instance where I understand you don't have those rights! You're bound by laws that cover fair trials to not say defamatory, inflammatory, intimidating stuff about the court or judge or witnesses on whatever platforms you have.

Trump uses the logic of the mafia: "If you go after me, I'm coming after you!" and then posts pictures of people he has disagreements.

In other words, dog-whispering to his crazy manic supporters - "go get them!"

A man, a Trump supporter, was killed by the FBI today in Provo, Utah. He had been posting on Facebook about assassinations for months but just lately directly against Biden and Harris. Biden is to be in Salt Lake, Utah tomorrow.

That's really sad. The poor man probably thought he was going to be helping America! The FBI did what they had to do! Good on them! But see what Trump's narcissistic crazed conspiracy theories have caused? Jan 6 continues...

Update: Judge sends STRONG warning about court being moved forward if there are any inflammatory remarks.
Will Trump be able to restrain himself?
(I'll get the popcorn!)
Let the shows begin!

If Trump is convicted of the insurrection the constitution bars him from taking office

There seems to be no “legal mechanism” for the last clause of the 14th amendment; just “if…then”, how does one mount a defense?

A Jury Of His Peers?

Just like the Jan 6th case against Trump in DC, where 77% of the voting population are registered democrats, with only 5% republican

Understanding words matters....

"In a legal context, peer most often refers to anyone who is an adult citizen, such as in “a jury of one’s peers.” Generally, a jury of one’s peers is a random selection of other citizens from a similar geographic location. These individuals do not necessarily share traits similar to a defendant’s. As such, there is no guarantee that those who hear a defendant’s case will be of a similar age, race, socio-economic background, or gender as the defendant, though these traits alone cannot disqualify someone from serving as a juror."

The crime was performed in Washington DC, where trump lived. He will be judged by adult citizens who live in Washington DC. That's the law.

There is no law restricting any free American to move to another country to find a life surrounded by like-minded people.
