A Democratic lawmaker filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing former President Donald Trump and lawyer Rudolph Giuliani of conspiring to incite a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The lawsuit was filed by Representative Bennie Thompson, a Democrat who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, in U.S. District Court in Washington.

“The insurrection was the result of a carefully orchestrated plan by Trump, Giuliani and extremist groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, all of whom shared a common goal of employing intimidation, harassment and threats to stop the certification of the Electoral College,” according to a lawyers’ statement.

They will continue to harangue, accuse, lie and create excuse after excuse after excuse to attack and persecute Trump until he’s dead.
Then, they’ll go after his family.
Outrageous.

Trump can afford the lawers to handle this.

...and hopefully I am right (haven’t seen any evidence of it yet though) that as soon as Trump lost the election and the crap started coming down, that he had people preparing suits of his own. Go on the offense, not just over the election, but also those who slandered him.

And that’s why Trump thought Antifa was behind it, according to Dems during last day of impeachment?

I was just thinking about the collection of Satanic psychopaths we have in our “hallowed halls” of government, how outraged they were with their fists shaking at heaven, tears poring down their faces, putting barbed wire and thousands of troops around themselves. They run when nobody is chasing them.

I’m sure most American could care less if they were walled off forever.

Also, there is revenge. He must have some good dope on selected strategic players he can drop at an opportune time that will destroy them. Politics that way is no fun but the Dems made them the rules.
