Trump's Disqualification Trial

Trump is now on bench trial in Colorado to try and disqualify him from running that started yesterday. If the court disqualifies him, it will be appealed straight to the Colorado supreme court, and I would expect a decision from them within a week or two, then off to the SCOTUS by the first half of December. If he is disqualified it should affect his release statues, Chutkan basically said the only reason he is released is because he is the leading GOP candidate, which gives him "magical" statues to be above the law.

Chris is bullshitting and he knows it, the judge already ruled on it, he doesn't need a conviction.

Later in the week, the Minnesota Supreme Court will arguments in a similar case. One of them is expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never ruled on the provision. Trump is not expected to be present.

Could Trump be disqualified from becoming president?

Trump's 14th Amendment trial in Colorado focuses on his eligibility for 2024 election

A lawsuit in Colorado is challenging former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the state's presidential ballot next year. The suit says he shouldn't be allowed to run for president because he allegedly violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars someone who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the country from holding federal office.

Trial in Colorado seeks to disqualify Trump from 2024 presidential ballot per 14th Amendment

A trial just kicked off in a Colorado state court seeking to disqualify Donald Trump from being placed on the 2024 presidential ballot. The case was brought by CREW - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington - on behalf or Colorado voters.

This vide reviews some of the testimony from day one of the trial and lays out the facts that support, indeed compelling, the conclusion that Trump engaged in an insurrection and is therefore constitutionally disqualified form holding office again.

But he would never "lose" the state, they would have cheated him, disqualify then lock the fucker up in the spring. I hope that he destroys the GOP as they follow him over the edge into the abyss. I hope he has a write in campaign for the GOP nomination to prove to the world he is too big to jail and has so many fans that they couldn't possibly put such a popular guy in prison! He will be going down in court right in the middle of their primaries, what do you think he will demand of Maga Mike? He will be attacking and endorsing candidates even if disqualified. It's gonna be a shitshow Sir!

Trump sues over efforts to keep him off Michigan ballot
Former President Trump’s attorneys have filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from refusing to put him on the ballot for the state’s 2024 presidential primary and general elections.

The lawsuit was filed Monday and asks the court to affirm that Benson (D) lacks the authority to decide whether Trump can be disqualified from the ballot under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The lawsuit asks the court to enter an injunction stopping her from barring Trump from the ballot.

The suit cites several national and state polls where Trump is the leading Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election.

“Despite President Trump’s tremendous popularity, there are people who want to deny Michigan voters the opportunity to express their choice by voting for him,” the lawsuit said.

Trump’s attorneys said court intervention is necessary so Trump can “ensure he is included” on the upcoming ballots.

“There is an actual controversy, the outcome of which will determine how President Trump and his campaign allocate their resources both in Michigan and around the country,” the lawsuit said.

The suit comes one day after a state court in Denver began hearing arguments in a separate lawsuit attempting to keep Trump off Colorado’s ballot. Other lawsuits have been filed in New Hampshire, Arizona and Minnesota.

Benson has said she will not try to keep Trump off the ballot in Michigan. The disagreement began after a lawsuit was filed by Free Speech for People, the same group that filed in Minnesota.

It argued that because of Trump’s alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the Capitol, he should be disqualified from running for federal office. The lawsuit cites Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states no person shall hold elected office who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

Trump’s attorneys said the former president has sent Benson a letter asking her to confirm him as one of the official candidates and that she has not responded to that letter.

The uncertainty about if he will be included on the ballot in Michigan impacts how he will “allocate campaign resources to best secure the nomination and defeat President Biden.”

Polling from August shows Biden and Trump neck and neck in Michigan, each earning 44 percent support from voters.

Opening remarks for the trial in Colorado began Monday, where the plaintiffs argued that Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6 and the former president should be deemed ineligible to be president again.

Trump’s attorneys said the former president did not “engage” in the events of Jan. 6.

She is better prepared and probably deserved the job, unlike Canon, who was appointed for other "reasons". She will likely seek mentoring and advice from senior judges on a case like this and from what I've seen seems to be doing a good job. I don't hear any criticism, like with Canon and she knows it will be appealed all the way to the top and is a historic decision that will set precedent.

If they don't disqualify this clown there will be big trouble in America and the 14th is meaningless.

Trump White House aide points finger at Jan. 6 National Guard call-up in 14th Amendment trial
Former Trump administration aide Kash Patel on Wednesday denied claims that President Trump chose not to call up the National Guard during the Jan. 6 attacks or delayed efforts to approve their deployments in testimony he provided in the former president’s 14th Amendment case in Colorado.

Patel, who was the chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller during the Jan. 6 attacks, argued that it was instead D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser who delayed calls for the National Guard in the days before the riot.

“Mayor Bowser wrote a letter herself on approximately Jan. 4. … declining further requests for National Guard services outside of the 346 National Guardsmen already authorized,” Patel said.

“The authorization came in beforehand. It was relayed to the appropriate officials in D.C. and the Capitol Police. It was declined, and we acted when their request finally came in on January 6,” he continued.

Patel made the argument during the third day of the Colorado 14th Amendment hearings over whether Trump can be removed from the 2024 presidential ballot due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 attacks.

He said that Trump had authorized the deployment of 10,000 to 20,000 National Guard troops to support law enforcement in multiple meetings he witnessed.

But that claim contradicts findings from the Department of Defense published nearly two years after Jan. 6, which states that Trump never ordered troop deployments.

“President Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day,” the Pentagon report reads. “Nor did he instruct any Federal law enforcement agency to assist.”

Patel’s testimony also goes against findings by the House Jan. 6 committee, where Miller testified that an order to prepare at least 10,000 National Guard troops was never made.

Patel was the first witness called by the defense in the Colorado case, led by attorneys for Trump’s campaign. Patel currently works as an adviser to the former president for national security issues and as a board member for Trump’s media company.

Trump faces DICEY future
