Trump Is Sued in Death of Capitol Police Officer After Jan. 6

[jknowgood]

Hope it goes forward.

I hope the widow of the slain officer wins.

It would be another win for the good guys.

Then they should go back to the summer of love and the democrat party should be sued for each of the hundreds of cops killed. A win for the good guys and your party should be held responsible.

If Obama isn’t charged for the murder of Dallas cops by a BLM radical, if Bernie Sanders isnt charged for his supporter who shot up the GOP softball game, or if Kamala Harris isn’t charged for encouraging BLM violence during riots… then Trump should t be charged for anything.

 

[jknowgood]

I guess you don't support the police as much as you say you do, do you dickless?

I guess as much as you did for the police during the summer of love. You're such a hypocrite.

“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”



This is a civil case not criminal.

 

[jknowgood]

And appropriately so.

Trump was responsible for the coup attempt and rightwing domestic terrorism attack on America’s democracy seeking to overturn the will of the American people.

Thanks for proving you're an idiot. Trump did the opposite of what you state.

 

[jknowgood]

Why would they need the National Guard. We had 58 previous validations of the vote without needing to call out the National Guard.

If Trump had manned up and accepted his loss instead of organizing a riot, Sidnick would probably be alive today.

Lol, you're an idiot also. You believe cnn when they constantly lie.

 

[BlindBoo]

Who was responsible for the idiot cop who shot and murdered an unarmed woman in front of witnesses? You?

Easy. “There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

So WTF cares what that Benedict Arnold thinks?

 

[my2¢]

Bringing Trump into this should result in the plaintiffs paying Trump's legal fees. Much in the manner as the $33,000 Kari Lake is ordered to pay Hobbs for non-sensical inclusion in a lawsuit.

It's yet another classic case of what's wrong with our legal system. We need to adopt a loser pays all law. Sue anybody you like, but if you lose, you are responsible for all costs of your opponent to fight your suit.

That would stop about 90% of bullshit suits like this. Why don't we do it? Because many of our congress critters are lawyers, and may have to return to being a lawyer again after being voted out or not seek reelection in Congress.

Poor Donnie. My guess the ones who will matter are the Jury. Will Ol' Benedict Donald be forced to testify under oath? I bet he cracks like Capt. Queeg.

Washington – After less than three hours of deliberations, a Washington, D.C., jury found Dustin Thompson guilty of multiple charges stemming from his participation in the January 6, 2021, Capitol assault, including obstructing Congress' certification of the Electoral College votes and stealing liquor and a coat rack from the Capitol building............................................


But Thompson chose a different legal strategy, fighting the counts that ultimately brought him before a jury. He didn't deny he had taken part in the breach and instead argued that at the time, he believed that Trump's speech near the White House authorized his actions.

Ohio man who argued he was "directed" by Trump to join the Jan. 6 Capitol riot convicted on all counts

They should sue Pelosi, McConnell, and Ray Epps. Pelosi turned down the National Guard. This is all about greed and it should be dismissed.

Trump Is Sued in Death of Capitol Police Officer After Jan. 6 (Published 2023)

The suit in the death of Brian D. Sicknick seeks millions in damages from the former president, whom it paints as responsible for the violence that day, and two Capitol rioters.

www.nytimes.com

WASHINGTON — The longtime partner of a Capitol Police officer who died after the Jan. 6 attack sued former President Donald J. Trump and two Capitol rioters on Thursday, arguing that his death was a “direct and foreseeable consequence” of their roles in the mob violence that day.

The suit, filed in Federal District Court for the District of Columbia just before the second anniversary of the attack, seeks at least $10 million in damages each from Mr. Trump and two men accused of assaulting the officer, Brian D. Sicknick, with chemical spray on Jan. 6, George Tanios and Julian Elie Khater. Mr. Khater pleaded guilty in the assault, and Mr. Tanios pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges.

“The horrific events of Jan. 6, 2021, including Officer Sicknick’s tragic, wrongful death, were a direct and foreseeable consequence of the defendants’ unlawful actions,” the suit said, adding that “the defendants are responsible for the injury and destruction that followed.”

Officer Sicknick died the day after the attack, but the Washington medical examiner ruled that it was from natural causes — multiple strokes that occurred hours after the mob confrontation — and prosecutors shied away from linking his death to the assault. But the medical examiner also said that “all that transpired played a role in his condition,” and the Capitol Police consider his death a “line of duty” fatality.

Another petty lawsuit, no doubt funded by Democrats. All their attempts to get him have failed.

Hope it goes forward.

I hope the widow of the slain officer wins.

It would be another win for the good guys.

Maybe Pelosi should be sued for the death of Ashli Babbitt.

Okay, and this means what????

There is no testimony in something like this. WTF would he even testify to? He held a rally????

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It's just another in a long line of frivolous lawsuits meant to harass President Trump into not running again. The whole of evidence iis against them.

 

[BlindBoo]

There is no testimony in something like this. WTF would he even testify to? He held a rally????

Intent.

 

[pknopp]

Intent.

Most likely they would call those convicted to testify they believed Trump was instructing them to do what they did.

Trump's word doesn't mean much.
