Exclusive: Read Judge Luttig’s statement to January 6 committee
CNN has obtained a statement from retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, a Republican who is testifying at Thursday’s January 6 committee hearing. Luttig will provide a sharp condemnation of former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, saying Trump and his allies “instigated” a war on democracy “so that he could cling to power.”
The war on democracy instigated by the former president and his political party allies on January 6 was the natural and foreseeable culmination of the war for America. It was the final fateful day for the execution of a well-developed plan by the former president to overturn the 2020 presidential election at any cost, so that he could cling to power that the American People had decided to confer upon his successor, the next president of the United States instead. Knowing full well that he had lost the 2020 presidential election, the former president and his allies and supporters falsely claimed and proclaimed to the nation that he had won the election, and then he and they set about to overturn the election that he and they knew the former president had lost.
We can be thankful the obnoxious little fat man Luttig is no longer on the federal court.
If you saw this judge’s testimony before the J6 committee you would KNOW this judge is a French fry short of a happy meal!! He is one step away from being Joe Biden in the dementia department!!
I would’ve thought that a judge, supposedly strong on the constitution, would know that the United States of America is a republic, not a democracy. I expect Democrats to talk about “our democracy“ because they would like to have the pure democracy represented by two foxes and one chicken voting on what to have for lunch
