Rep Mo Brooks says he can't be sued for inciting Capitol riot because he is a federal employee
This is NOT in the scope and course of his duties as a member of Congress. If Mo had made these statements on the floor of the House, he would be protected by the speech and debate clause but inciting a rebellion and being a traitor is not in the course and scope of his official duties

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has asked to be dismissed from a federal lawsuit alleging that he incited the Jan. 6 mob assault on the U.S. Capitol, claiming that he cant be held liable because he was acting as a federal employee while challenging the 2020 election results in a fiery speech just before the riot began.
Brooks said in a motion Friday that he should be dropped as a defendant or represented by the Justice Department in the case, filed March 5 by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.). The lawsuit names former president Donald Trump, Brooks, Donald Trump Jr. and Rudolph W. Giuliani and seeks damages in connection with their statements to a crowd near the White House that the former president told to march to the Capitol.
Today is the day American patriots start taking down names, Brooks said, echoing Trumps unfounded claims that the election was rigged. Brooks told people in the crowd that they were victims of a historic theft and asked whether they were ready to sacrifice their lives for their country.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington on Monday directed the Justice Department and Swalwell to respond to Brookss claims. The judge also dismissed without prejudice Swalwells request that the court enter a default judgment against Brooks, who had previously failed to meet a deadline to respond to the suit.
