Retired Judge To Speak Before 1-6 Cmte. About VP Pence's Refusal To Overturn 2020 Results

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Retired judge to warn of Trump's 'well-developed plan' to overturn election
In his testimony before the January 6 committee today, former US appellate court judge J Michael Luttig will warn that the plot to overturn the 2020 election was well-coordinated and threatened the nation’s very existence, according to his opening remarks obtained by CNN.

Luttig is one of two guests in Thursday’s third hearing of the committee, which will focus on Trump’s pressure campaign against vice-president Mike Pence to get him to go along with his plans to stop Joe Biden from taking office.

“The war on democracy instigated by the former president and his political party allies on January 6 was the natural and foreseeable culmination of the war for America,” Luttig warns in his opening remarks. “It was the final fateful day for the execution of a well-developed plan by the former president to overturn the 2020 presidential election at any cost, so that he could cling to power that the American People had decided to confer upon his successor, the next president of the United States instead.”

“Had the Vice President of the United States obeyed the President of the United States, America would immediately have been plunged into what would have been tantamount to a revolution within a paralyzing constitutional crisis,” Luttig says.

Now Judge Luttig (background link below) is as conservative a person as they come, so anyone who calls him a "RINO" (glares at @WHO IS SERAFIN) is lying out of their ass about him....

In fact, most of his toughest words were actually written down in the opening statement he sent to the committee before the hearing, which was not read during its televised session.

The Washington Post has a good rundown of Luttig’s arguments, both from that statement and from his testimony: [i]He spared few in public life. Though he is clear about Trump’s role in starting the war over the 2020 election that erupted into violence, he sees the broader internal political divisions, the war that preceded the insurrection, as the end result of the conduct of virtually the entire class of elected officials and their allies. In his telling, this war was “conceived and instigated from our nation’s capital … [and] cynically prosecuted by them to fever pitch, now to the point that they have recklessly put America herself at stake.”

Luttig described America as “adrift” and said he prays that it is only for a fleeting moment in the long span of American history. But his diagnosis of what he called “an immoral war” is frightening in its implications. He wrote: “We Americans no longer agree on what is right or wrong, what is to be valued and what is not, what is acceptable behavior and not, and what is and is not tolerable discourse in civilized society.”

Americans cannot agree on how to be governed or by whom or on a set of shared values, beliefs and goals. The attack that Trump instigated, he argued, was a natural “and foreseeable culmination” of the broader war for America. Trump was prepared to execute a plan to overturn the election to cling to power “that the American people had decided to confer upon his successor.”[/i]

You ever stop to think they hired him because he's a competent judge and not a "RINO" as you would call him?

Oh I’m sure he knows the law but knowing and being competent are way different things.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Oh! and he seems to care more about the dollar than his personal dignity and his personal principles by working for coke.

Yeah, not really since the Trump empire has lost hundreds of millions of dollars during his presidency.
