WASHINGTON — Attorneys for the Proud Boys placed blame for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Donald Trump in closing arguments in their seditious conspiracy trial Tuesday.
An attorney for Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, said federal prosecutors were trying to make him a "scapegoat for Donald J. Trump and for those in power." A lawyer for Joe Biggs said the defendants came to Washington because their "commander-in-chief" told them it would "be wild," referring to Trump's infamous tweet on Dec. 19, 2020, that called on supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6.

When was the last sedition trial?
What else would you expect an fbi informant to say?
They can try. Trump wrote or said nothing suggesting people go inside the Capitol or do anything except peacefully protest.
“What else would you expect an fbi informant to say?”
Good point. I was going to say that blaming Trump makes sense when you’re facing prison...totally meaningless, of course, but might work with the right jury.
Screw them.
On 1 October 1995, Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine others were convicted of seditious conspiracy after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
NBC news.
Yeah, right.
I am still trying to figure out how it was decided there was sedition.
Ooof, this seems like a terrible argument. Almost like saying my clients are guilty because.....
Desperate for sure.
But they have not deserved what they’ve been handed.
So, no, don’t “screw them”. Unless you are just fine with rotting in jail for years before trial over disorderly conduct. They might come after you next.
The only sedition I’m aware of is when the Democrats rigged a Presidential election to overthrow the government.
>> When was the last sedition trial?
to demonstrate the rule of tyranny
The proud boys really are more an idea than a organized group. I know personally.
Did they not get the memo that Trump was already found NOT guilty of inciting an insurrection? WTH?
I am reacting to their accusation against Trump. They are idiots.
Nobody was facing mass attack or having doors and windows broken into at Woodstock. There was no organized effort to break or enter at all at Woodstock. Whatever disruptions occurred are the minor scuffles that can occur when a 100,000 people camp out for 3 days with inadequate preparation for food or shelter in the rain. Given the size of the crowd, it was incredibly peaceful.
Bingo.
Con Cast NBC.. absolute planted lying article. The National Broadcasting Cocainiacs of what is left of a formerly real network. Not since the Philadelphia a@@hole took them over— Con Cast. As Mr. Trump regularly calls these clowns- who continue to cover the Winter Olympics, and so far up the Chi-Com’s a@@es as to never see the truth of who they have become. Of course they don’t give a crap for the Greatness of the USA which made them in the first place. Goodbye clowns.
