From Proud Boys to Fox News, Could the GOP Roof Finally Be Caving In?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Proud Boys accused of seditious conspiracy and plotting violence in order to keep Donald Trump in office with the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol are now demanding that the former president testify. The attorney for one of the five defendants, Joseph Biggs, says the law is on his side with this request.

“At all times relevant, Trump was president of the United States, and it’s the government’s obligation to produce him,” lawyer Norm Pattis stated in court on Thursday. In addition, he explained that he needed help from the government to serve a subpoena on Trump because the U.S. Secret Service continues to protect him.

Last month, an attorney for longstanding Proud Boys Chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio used his opening statements to pinpoint Trump as the one responsible for the riot. However, if Trump is forced to testify—which probably won’t happen—he could says he has executive privilege over any talks he had during his presidency.

And if that doesn’t work, Trump could always do what he does best: plead the fifth to circumvent self-incrimination. This will probably be in his best interest since he is under investigation for his actions pertaining to Jan. 6.

The media works to rehabilitate them. I've yet to see republican disaster last longer than the next election.

There will always be a market for the filthy rhetoric they spew.
