Judge says Trump could be culpable for January 6 and says lawsuits against the former President can proceed

Civil lawsuits seeking to hold Donald Trump accountable for the January 6, 2021, insurrection can move forward in court, a federal judge said Friday in a ruling outlining how the former President could conceivably be responsible for inciting the attack on the US Capitol.

Civil lawsuits seeking to hold Donald Trump accountable for the January 6 insurrection can move forward in court, and the ex-President doesn't have absolute immunity from litigation, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The hits just keep on coming at Trump. The judge seems to think Trump was responsible for the riot at the capitol. I am sure it won't proceed quickly but will be interesting.

About time indeed. I'm glad he's out of office for so many reasons - one being that no one is likely now to feel that they can't charge him.
 
I wonder if all the small business owners, that Trump didn't pay/cheated out of money/put out of business, are ever so slowly starting to smile.
 
Good for America:

"“After all, the President’s actions here do not relate to his duties of faithfully executing the laws, conducting foreign affairs, commanding the armed forces, or managing the Executive Branch,” [Judge] Mehta added. “They entirely concern his efforts to remain in office for a second term. These are unofficial acts, so the separation-of-powers concerns that justify the President’s broad immunity are not present here.”"
 
They're waiting for marching orders, but I'd assume those orders will be along the lines of "political witch hunt!"

Nevermind that we have juries for reasons, and that is actually one of many of them.
 
I liked this part the best.

In a written opinion that ran over 100 pages, Judge Amit Mehta rejected the former president's claims that he is entitled to broad immunity from multiple lawsuits blaming him for the riot. Mehta reasoned that some of Trump's actions on January 6 were "plausibly words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment" or by presidential immunity.

More depositions for Trump. He'll get a lot of practice for taking the 5th in the NY suit. He should be ready to go.

Funny thing. In civil cases, pleading the 5th can be used against you.
