...an insurrection.
Rudy Guiliani, Trump's personal attorney, was at the rally that preceded the attack upon our nation's Capitol. His words were incendiary. He called for a "trial by combat"? What did he mean by that? Of course Rudy would have an explanation for that. He has an explanation for everything. That is why he is Donald Trump's personal attorney.
Merrick Garland could get off on the right foot if he arrested Mr Guiliani as one of his first acts as the new Attorney General. Both he and Don Jr should be charged with sedition against the government of the United States.

(16,616 posts)"Trial by combat". I don't care too much about Rudy's explanation. It seemed to mean: "We lost every case we brought in the courts of law, so let's use our fists and weapons to get what we want."
Honest to God, that entire day, starting from the speeches to the attack on the Capitol, reminds me of footage I've seen of the "protests" in the lead up to the Yugoslav wars of the 90s, with Slobodan Miloević working Serbians into a blind fury over totally fabricated stories of Kosovo Albanians committing atrocities against Serbs. It really has that same flavor.
