Elon Musk Says Trump, Who Was Kicked Off Twitter for Inciting Jan 6, Didn’t Break Any Laws
The Wrap Yahoo ^ | NOVEMBER 26 2022 | Sharon Knolle

Posted on 11/26/2022 12:13:01 AM PST by SmokingJoe

Elon Musk isn’t upset that ex-President Donald Trump hasn’t returned to Twitter after Musk unbanned him, but he is upset that Trump was banned in the first place.

On Friday afternoon, Musk replied to a question about Trump with the eyebrow-raising statement, “I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service. Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.”

After losing the 2020 election, Trump’s official term ended on Jan. 20, 2021, when Joe Biden was sworn in as president.

In May, long before the Twitter sale went through, Musk called the Trump ban “morally wrong and flat out stupid” and stated he intended to reverse it.

For the past several months, the bipartisan Jan. 6 Committee has been investigating Trump’s tweets on the day a mob of Trump supporters and Proud Boys stormed the U.S. Capitol with the avowed intent of stopping the certification of the 2020 election and killing both Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Several former Trump staffers have offered damning testimony that Trump refused to order the violent mob to stop and in fact had wanted to lead the march to the Capitol. Trump has not responded to a subpoena to testify before the committee.

Fake news anyone?
Look at this bit:
Trump refused to order the violent mob to stop and in fact had wanted to lead the march to the Capitol.”

Its not President Trump's business to go out there and order anyone to stop protesting. That was Speaker Pelosi’s job, to call in the forces to stop any protests that got too vigorous. And Pelosi was too busy hiding under a desk to do her job.

Plus not only did President Trump not break any laws, he didn't break any Twitter rules either.
And he was the sitting President of the United States at the time, only to get banned from Twitter by some deranged Indian immigrant low life.
You can't make this up.

Another lying millennial female… gaslighting people with overly dramatic hyperbole.

Until Musk's takeover of Twitter, Woke people could scream about Trump being a criminal and no one ever said "Oh yeah? What crimes did he commit and why hasn't he been convicted?

But now they're getting pushback and that's creating a problem for them.

Who cares even if laws were broken? Ever notice how many laws are created almost daily? At all levels if government?

The only real criminals are the politicians creating these uncountable number of laws in the first place.

Trump should sue these hard-left “news” outfits for claiming he “incited” rioting. There is no evidence he did anything of the sort except to state that election fraud occurred, which last I checked is a guaranteed right for anyone to say.

The truth of course , his last two tweets that day, before his ban, explicitly stated - NOT TO CAUSE VIOLENCE. Much like his speech he made earlier that day…it known he wanted peaceful protests. No amount of gaslighting can change the facts. Day by day the 1/6 narrative erodes. The harder the media try to keep this in the spotlight , the more irrelevant it becomes.

Yep - the old Twitter would say you broke a rule but not say how you broke it.

I posted unedited pics of Biden molesting young girls and was locked out for “Violating their child porn rules” - which indicated they thought Biden was engaged in child porn and should have been turned in to the FBI for his actions😎

Does that make Elon a J6 denier and open him up to regulatory investigation? Asking for a friend.

That’s interesting, right?

The person exposing it — you — is criticized. The perv engaging in the porn — Biden — is protected.

Of course Trump didn't break any laws! He's the most squeaky clean man in the history of the world!

Who could withstand the incessant scrutiny, prosecution, persecution, and bullying to which the corrupt establishment and its army of lawyers, investigators, propagandists, et al. have subjected him for more than seven years?

There has been no let-up.

Answer: NOBODY!

Obviously Trump is innocent of ALL wrongdoing.

“...Trump refused to order the violent mob to stop...”

Does anyone REALLY think that people were glued to their phones reading tweets on January 6th? From the videos I’ve seen people were looking everywhere but at their phones.

Speaker Pelousy was likely helping orchestrate the Jan 6 “insurrection”

Pelosi also turned down National guard help, IIRC.

Trump will surely make use of Twitter once the presidential campaign kicks into high gear. In the meantime, his amount of followers continues to grow and now we have confirmed Dragon separation.
