Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”
Trump disagrees, apparently.
“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
His personal lawyers already made a shit case in front of the Supreme Court, but luckily he’s got at least four Justices also working the case.
I feel like thered be a case one could argue for having the justices who directly owe their jobs to Trump to recuse themselves from these proceedings… but we all know that won’t happen.
Clarence Thomas, who’s wife was literally supporting the insurrection didn’t recuse himself from the trial to disqualify Trump for that insurrection. That’s not something that really needs a case made for it. We all know they’re not going to do the ethical thing. They don’t have to.
