    It was a serious question. Is all voter fraud of concern to you?

    As there is with your clip with Rand Paul. What does he know that nobody else does?

    Given that you introduced the phrase "my client" in a hypothetical court case, I disagree.

    However, the assault on the Capitol was not the only ugly example of neo-fascist behaviour.

    Attempting to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, an attempt to kidnap and murder Biden and Harris, death threats to government officials, armed groups outside Jocelyn Benson's home.

      Obviously. But the fact you would even ask that question makes me wonder about your concerns.

      Him being in the US Senate and a confidant of Trump and his aides, I suspect he knows a lot more than you do about it.

      She has not been POTUS.
      So? She hasn't been censored by the mainstream media or Big Tech either.

      And none of that is relevant to any connection between the Jan 6 riot and Trump.

        If one is concerned about voter fraud and rigged/fraudulent elections one cannot assume one that it only occurs among voters of one Party only.

        Which leaves the question why did Guiliani not present him as a witness? He had some rather eccentric characters testifying.

        Perhaps because she did not provoke insurrections.

        It seems several of those arrested at the Capitol sincerely believed they were acting on the [then] President's instructions.

              I am not sure if I should be amused or shocked that you decided to draw a comparison between the rioters who believed they were following Trump's instructions, and Charles Manson.

                How about comparing Trump to The Beatles then. Are they equally guilty of incitement just because numbskulls and crazies can't understand them?

                  I'm not at all surprised that the point sailed miles over your head.


                  And I'm not surprised that after those idiots are finding themselves in legal trouble that some have been advised by their lawyers to cry it isn't their fault.

                    I have always considered them rather over-rated.

                      Popular (pop) bands, by definition, can't be overrated or underrated.

                        What point? You compared the rioters at the Capitol with members of the Manson cult and its leader.

                        How do you know what went on in their heads?

                        Of course "pop" bands can be hyped or given unmerited and undue credit.

                          The Beatles were immensely popular because they were immensely popular. It's not like critiquing a jazz or a classical artist because those genres aren't gauged by popularity. You may disagree regarding The Beatles' talent but you can't claim "overrated" when rating is their entire category.

                            Popularity is not necessarily an indication of talent or ability. Their music, in my opinion, was over-rated. Hence my first reply.

                              Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) got 45 Republicans to side with him and vote on Tuesday that the second impeachment trial against former President Trump is unconstitutional. The motion was voted down 55-45, meaning the trial will proceed. But, as Sen. Paul notes, 45 senators will be more than enough to acquit Trump, meaning that this trial is "dead on arrival."

                              Notably, Sen. Mitch McConnell, who publicly criticized Trump for "provoking" the mob that went to the Capitol, voted in favor of Sen. Paul's point of order.
