It can be stopped.
I won't say how, but I suspect there's a good many that are thinking about it.

Why do you think DC is an armed camp? The politicians there are definitely thinking about it.

Discovery? Subpoena Nancy Pelosi. She will just LOVE testifying under oath about what she knows. That was evident when the opportunity was raised as part of the impeachment trial in the Senate. I think Nancy may lean on this idiot real hard to drop the case before she lands in hot water.

-- He stepped down and retired. --

I lost that bet in a hurry! Thanks. I never did read the list of hangers on who retired.

This is harrassment. Time to go offensive

Every time Trump gets one of these suits he should make it clear to these turkeys that the list of those who will be deposed includes all the top Dem leadership, e.g., Pelosi, Schumer, et al. plus some of the Republican leadership. Let's see how they like that.

I think every district court uses some type of round robin random judge selector, BUT (and a big one) the Clerk of Court can override that. Legit reasons are common plaintiffs/defendants/case subject. Illegitimate are political corrupt steering.

Yep...*itch McConnell's invitation on Saturday to bring criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against Trump will certainly be accepted:

"We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one."- - *itch McConnell, Feb 13

Graham and Johnson have slapped back at *itch; however, I haven't been able to find any strong backlash from other GOP senators, in a quick perusal of the web. While the GOP is gasping for air... Cruz?... Hawley?... Bueller?... Bueller...

* insert B or M as desired. Graham and Johnson have slapped back at

This suit is under the Ku Klux Klan Act. A person can’t conspire to stop a federal official from performing their duties.

Hey Bennie Thompson, take a look at how well President Trump succeeded in bringing jobs back to America, for ALL demographics.

Look at his success in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.

Look at his success with North Korea, until the MSM and you Democrats worked overtime to undermine him.

Ditto for the US-China relations.

Look at Giuliani’s achievements when he was Mayor of NYC.

If those two had actually “conspired” against the denizens of the Capitol, then there would be hundreds of your compatriots wearing Orange Jumpsuits sitting in holding cells and charged as Accessories after the Fact in stealing the November Elections.

Swallwell and Feinstein would be charged with Treason due to their “relationships” with Chinese spies.

Let alone Joe Biden and Ukrainian & Chinese money.

And, hopefully, Trump would have released all records on the Congressional Sex-Hush Slush Fund, Democrats and Republicans.

And they are doing the same to the 100s who peacefully protested at the Capitol too

“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one.”

McConnell, Pelosi, et al are not immune from civil war 2 and military tribunals.

The theft of our nation and the attempted enslavement of free people will not go unanswered.

In don’t know how the D.C. District Court has personal jurisdiction over Trump or Giuliani. Neither lives there, and I don’t think either owns property there personally. Trump has a hotel, but that is likely under corporate ownership, and more likely one of his kids is running that now. I would think that they need to file this in Florida or New York.

This is just ankle biting harassment.

There is no way they are going to prove Trump incited folks
to riot.

“PEACEFULLY!”

Maybe some of these folks need a remedial English class or 25.
