The judge unfortunately didn't say what the article is portraying.
He said that if Trump told someone to break the law and then they did it, that doesn't grant them immunity. He never ruled that Trump didn't instruct him to break the law.
Well, here's the actual quote. People can judge for themselves.
This purported defense, if recognized, would undermine the rule of law. If President Trump ordered or instructed a member of the Proud Boys [to] go off and murder somebody and someone went off and did that, it follows that … would immunize them from liability for that criminal act? In effect, isn't that what your argument is saying
Title is not accurate. A quote of the Judge, "If President Trump ordered or instructed a member of the Proud Boys [to] go off and murder somebody and someone went off and did that, it follows that … would immunize them from liability for that criminal act? In effect, isn't that what your argument is saying?" - Judge Beryl Howell
The Judge is simply questioning the defense's argument and the legal ramifications if its assertions are accepted in court. The Judge says nothing about President Trump's responsibility during Jan 6th one way or the other.
Common sense, in a judge... I’m confused. He will likely be sited numerous times in the charges against antifa and blm, because I’m bitter and negative. It’s easier that way.
This article sucks or I lack reading comprehension. Was this case about the Kansas state capital or the US capital. I'm guessing Kansas.I'd also like to know who the defendant is. Was it one of the two we've got on camera dressed in black and smashing doors/windows while the rest of the group tries to stop them?
Just read the BI article instead. It's bullshit, but at least provides more details.
This defendant glows for sure.
Despite the nonstop fake news narrative that the Capitol Riot was Trump's fault, a judge just gave it to an insurrectionist who tried to scapegoat his actions on Trump. The lawsuit, which took place in Kansas, alleged that the plaintiff was simply doing Trump's bidding when he stormed the Capitol. According to Business Insider, the man was charged with multiple counts which included "conspiracy to civil disorder, threatening to assault federal law enforcement, and entering a restricted area with a weapon."
Here's an archive of the BI article this is based on.
There was a "riot" at the Kansas state capital on the same day. Posters here have been using a video from Kansas and playing it off as from DC for weeks.
Anyway, the Daily Fodder excerpt of the BI article leaves out a lot. The BI article is full of inflammatory bullshit, but includes important details.
You just eliminated the entire left side, lol!
Why would a judge be deciding on this? How stupid
Who knows. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, politically and legally.
The judge did not say that, what he is saying is regardless of what Trump said, it does not absolve someone who did something illegal
For a leftist that's a pretty high bar you're setting.

Well good thing there’s video where anyone can see he didn’t ask anyone to break the law
Not true. He said Trump isn't responsible for others' actions.
Well, here's the actual quote. People can judge for themselves.
Even in real life, sometimes you must use the common sense factor, when dealing with reality.

Didn't know we were still busy caring about what our corrupt court system decides.

Well we all knew it
Ok so start a third party and SECEDE
This guy will commit suicide, even if he has empty the entire magazine

The guy lives in Kansas, so the lawsuit took place in Kansas.
