When jury selection begins in the trial of former President Donald J. Trump concerning his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, defense lawyers will probably face an uphill battle.

To many of the district’s residents, the mob attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was more than a national political crisis: It was also a horrific act of local violence that felt deeply personal.

"Sharon Eliza Nichols, the communications director for Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, the district’s nonvoting delegate, was among the people in the Capitol building on Jan. 6.

She said she could still recall the feeling of terror when she had to barricade her office in the Capitol, and the fear she felt not knowing whether the shoes squeaking outside in the hallway were that of the police or the mob."

So, what you're saying is Trump has solid grounds for a change of judge and venue, hum?

A transfer of venue is unlikely. The Constitution holds that criminal defendants must generally be tried in the state or district where the alleged crime occurred. And there is precedent for allowing local juries to decide high-profile cases, like that of the Boston Marathon bomber, which was decided by a Boston jury. Lawyers for several Jan. 6 rioters have petitioned to have their trials transferred out of D.C., without success.

Is it possible that Trump actually is guilty?

What Mobster Jack claims is not a crime.

Trump is "guilty" of being a threat to the reelection of Joe Biden, and THAT is what the goomba lawyer Smith is charging him with.

If claiming an election was stolen is a crime, why are none of these Reich members in prison?


Go to the 4 minute mark where they are openly calling for violence. Trump never did - but we should put him in prison because Seig Heil.
