Did Trump Test The Boundaries Of Presidential Immunity On Jan. 6? A Judge Will Soon Decide

Civil cases brought against former President Trump over the Capitol insurrection are testing a startling point: that Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 may fall under presidential immunity.
That immunity is specific to civil liability — not criminal, or political for that matter.

Trump Previews the GOP’s Future

You could see the GOP future in the whole show: a rally that featured all the misfit toys embraced by the Once and Future God King. The My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell, was there, and treated like a rock star rather than a mental patient off his meds. Indeed, Trump’s rally featured the whole pantheon of deplorability; Rep. Andy Biggs and Rep. Paul Gosar were there, along with the state’s batty party chair, Kelli Ward.
Even as he lashed out at Arizona Governor Doug Ducey — a ‘terrible representative of your state’ — Trump embraced State Senator Wendy Rogers, one of the wooliest conspiracy theorists extant in American politics. And that’s really saying something.
And, of course there was the Trump-backed candidate for governor, Kari Lake, who seems to have a fetish for jailing people she doesn’t like.

Cry me a river: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he’s ‘disgusted’ with 2 banks he claims are cutting ties with him over ‘cancel culture’ after his phone records were subpoenaed by the January 6 committee
