Trump Lawyers Up for the Capitol Police Officers' MAGA Riot Lawsuit

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump has retained attorney Jesse Binnall as his counsel in the Jan. 6 MAGA riot lawsuit brought by two Capitol police officers, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Binnall will represent Trump in a suit brought by officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby in late March. The suit alleges that then-President Trump “had inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed, and aided and abetted” and “insurrectionist mob” to attack the Capitol Police on Jan. 6, leading to injuries suffered by the two men.

Blassingame and Hemby’s suit accuses Trump of incitement to riot and directing, aiding, and abetting assault and battery, among other charges. The two men say they suffered injuries to their heads, necks, and backs from assaults by the rioters and continue to struggle with the emotional toll of having been overwhelmed by the rioting mob that day.

The suit is now the third lawsuit against Trump related to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, in which Binnall is representing Trump and marks his ascent as the twice-impeached former president’s go-to lawyer for handling Trump’s myriad post-presidency legal problems stemming from the Jan. 6 riot.

If you’re a GOP Member of Congress you owe it to your constituents to disclose if you voted to support Cheney. If you don’t, they should assume you support her.

Also, if you did support her, you should be primaried.

4. Then he's probably

a lousy lawyer.

[soothsayer]

5. My fondest hope. He tried some election suit in Nevada or somewhere, which lost

[SeattleVet]

6. Of course he is...

that's the only type that tRumplethinskin can get, anymore.

[fwvinson]

7. I don't know a non-lousy lawyer.

[aggiesal]

12. Another lawyer that won't get paid. n/t

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Are you sure that

U.S. Taxpayers don't have to foot the bill for all these lawsuits? After all, Trump technically was still in office when this happened!

If Trump has to hire them out of his own pocket, they better get their money in advance with a major retainer.......

It makes me wonder about Trump sweating the arrest of Rudy Guiliannay after refusing to pay him for his work.
Maybe Trump should have paid him and gladly awarded him a Pardon??????

16. The impeachment is on the government books, ...

any lawsuit after that is on Pendejo45 himself, other than paying for the prosecution.

2. wasnt there a band who was charged with someones death over their lyrics?

[Harker]

8. It's Binnall over the newspapers. n/t

[Demnation]

9. Twitler, America's leading diarrhoea-mouth, refusing to talk? Now that is news.

10. Anyone dumb enough to rep him is also probably dumb enough to accept a check as payment.

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. I can't believe he keeps finding people, especially professional people, to volunteer their time.

Maybe this guy (and his hypothetical team) are really, really shitty lawyers and figure that any publicity is good publicity.

13. You can expect a settlement and non-disclosure agreement.

This is SOP in Trumpland. If he allows them to win then it becomes a legal precedent that can be used by anyone else who was injured as a result of his actions. Under no circumstances will he admit any responsibility for this. The only way this could turn out badly for him is if these two capitol police refuse any settlement and go for a trial.

14. better get money up front !!!!

[Grins]

17. Hope the check clears.

That should be step #1 for any Trump lawyer.

[Grins]

18. And so the question...

Will the Reich-wing law and order types who, to this day, believe Derek Chauvin was a “victim” of “mob rule,” now back and defend these injured police officers?

I think you know the answer.
