Former President Trump argued that he possesses “absolute immunity” from a lawsuit filed against him by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) over his role in the Jan. 6 riot.

I don’t know if Trump is innocents but a lot of other politicians did a lot worse in regard to the BLM riots and no one is suing them for anything.

Former President Trump’s fiery, accusative & totally false rhetoric, that the 2020 Election was “stolen’ from underneath him”, was, no doubt, the ‘root cause’ of the January 6, 2021 Insurrection on the United States Capital the ‘seat’ of our Democratic Republic!!
Trump should have “the book thrown at him”, utilizing ALL legal means!!
