Three men charged in connection with the 2021 attack on the Capitol are seeking to dismiss a charge that’s also facing former President Donald Trump.
Source: Supreme Court weighs hearing Jan. 6 cases that could affect Trump prosecution
In a stunning turn of events, three men charged in connection with the 2021 attack on the Capitol have the audacity to seek the dismissal of a charge that’s also facing former President Donald Trump. Isn’t it just adorable how they all stick together? These guys must have attended the “Blame Everyone Else but Ourselves” school of thought. Let’s take a look at the key points:
- Three men implicated in the Capitol attack are hoping to get away with their crimes by having a charge dismissed.
- The charge in question is apparently also hovering ominously over former President Donald Trump, because why not share the love?
- The Supreme Court is considering whether to hear these cases that could potentially impact the prosecution of dear old Trump.
Counter Points:
- It’s not like storming the Capitol is a big deal or anything. They were just expressing their freedom of speech in an extremely forceful and illegal manner. No harm, no foul, right?
- Trying to hold Trump accountable for his role in the events of January 6th is just downright unfair. Why should the person who “promoted” and “encouraged” the attack be held responsible? It’s not like he had any influence over those fine, upstanding citizens.
Now, brace yourself for this hot take:
The fact that these three men are even attempting to dismiss a charge is mind-boggling. It’s clear they’re just trying to escape the consequences of their actions by dragging down Trump with them. Should we be surprised? Absolutely not. After all, accountability is best left for those who have never held any real power, right?
