FTA:
Overshadowed by the news that Special Counsel Jack Smith secretly obtained access to Donald Trump’s Twitter account, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit relegated a blockbuster revelation to a footnote.
“The district court also found reason to believe that the former President would ‘flee from prosecution,’” it began.
Honestly? I don’t think that’s even the worst thing that could happen. Trump in exile is not Trump in the Oval Office.
Remember when trump took four hours to go on TV and tell his people to go home, that he loves them. And later referred to them as great patriots?
Meanwhile during those 4 hours refusing to release the national gaurd, even though he had other senators ask him to. He tweeted and watched the news. Remember also that the police were short staffed that day and the precautions that should have been put in place were denied.
Within 30 minutes of Trump’s speech ending the capitol was declared a riot.
So I guess if you want to be really technical and say he didn’t cause this because he never explicitly ordered it (except remember during the debates where he said “proud boys to stand back and stand by”) … but he definitely dragged his feet trying to prevent or stop it and then did a half assed job. It would be hard to convince me he wasn’t at least glad this happened.
