Trump concerned over being charged in connection to Capitol riot

Trump was acquitted by the Senate for inciting an insurrection

According to CNN, multiple people have reported that former President Donald Trump has privately expressed fears that he could face charges as a result of the January 6 riot he’s accused of inciting.

Trump has been noticeably quiet since leaving the White House last month. Although his silence can be attributed to being banned from social media, it is also related to concerns of facing criminal charges.

“He’s worried about it,” an adviser close to the former president told CNN.

Only 2 were “killed”

It should be made absolutely and abundantly clear that 3 of the people who died at or near the US Capital on January 6 did so because they shouldn’t have fucking been there in the first place.

2 for heart attack or stroke and one from
Being crushed by the crowd

So as culpable as fucking Trumpy is for fomenting the insurrection, 3 of those fucking traitors died because they had no business leaving their homes considering their health issues.

Ashli Babbit was the one that was shot by the officer inside the building, and Officer Sicknick was the one beaten to death. That is two killed.

The other 3 died from either a stroke, a heart attack or were crushed by other protesters. Again, they shouldn’t have been there.

And who got excited and had a heart attack blocks away from the capital and a woman who had entered into and had intent to cause mayhem in the chambers of the congress.

Sorry, but not sorry.

Again, TWO “killed”

3 died because they were otherwise sick or compromised

then they could use the words of Miitch McMconnell in his defence of acquittal.

There is a good case for civil lawsuits.

sweat in his criminal career. We can now say that his punishment for inciting an insurrection has already begun. Karma's a bitch.
