The continuation begins at 9am Mountain time (I think) You can call in to hear, dial: 401-594-2884 then enter 457 389 237#
"...A lawsuit contends Griffin violated the 14th Amendment, which prohibits officeholders sworn to uphold the Constitution from engaging in an “insurrection” against the U.S. government. The “disqualification clause” is part of a Civil War-era constitutional amendment intended to bar former Confederates from holding state or federal offices...SANTA FE — Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin admitted a couple of times Monday that he wasn’t ready for trial.

“I’m not as prepared as I should be,” Griffin, the defendant in a civil lawsuit seeking to remove him from his elected position, said during his opening statement. “I had too much confidence in the law being followed.”

Griffin is representing himself against a team of lawyers in a bench trial that could determine whether he will be allowed to serve out the remaining months of his term in office...

2. It could be... if he loses, especially.

The fact he couldn’t get an attorney means his defense is shit. Anyone else would have better defense attorney.
He bragged in a county meeting that Sydney Powell was his attorney.
He got a county contract for his fellow grifter and election denier, David Clements who has used that to get fools to donate $300,000 to him. He’s an attorney but didn’t provide Couy with any legal services.

6. CREW has great attorney, witnesses & experts

Couy is being revealed as an insurrectionist in a dozen ways. It’s beautiful.

7. A cliffhanger

Couy and plaintiffs have until Aug 29 for written summaries …then 10 days after that for decision.

9. And we've been dancing and celebrating since we heard.

Yes, we know he'll appeal and have a decent attorney for that.

If we don't celebrate our wins, the struggle becomes overwhelming. We're learning to celebrate ALL our wins.
