NEW -- Donald Trump knowingly put at risk the lives of Gold Star families, wealthy donors at a Minnesota fundraiser, then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden, White House staff, the crews of Air Force One, and others.

Sometimes its important to remember just how uniquely terrible a person the last president of the United States really was.
This was him:
And THEN, after voters threw him out of office because of his disastrous handing of the pandemic, he tried to remain in power by overthrowing the republic.
And despite all this, millions of Americans want him to be president again.

Trump's attempt to keep his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection a secret is being heard right now by a three-judge panel of the Circuit Court of Appeals, District of Columbia.

The judges seem ... skeptical of Trump's demands.

huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…
Trump's lawyers keep bringing up GSA v Nixon, which was superseded by the Presidential Records Act.
Trump's lawyers are still up, getting harshly grilled about why Trump's insistence that his records be kept secret should overrule Biden's determination that the national interest demands that they be released.

Yet to be seen how they treat the DOJ and House lawyers.

NEW -- RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel today -- one year and 11 days after the 2020 presidential race was called for Joe Biden, refused to say that he had legitimately won the election, and instead insisted there were "problems" that needed to be looked into.

She also refused to say whether the reporting in Jon Karl's book, that Trump threatened to leave the Republican to create his own, was accurate.
She also refused to say whether the party and the RNC in particular has a responsibility to make sure their next nominee does not try to overthrow the republic, as Trump did after he lost.

BTW, if Trump had been hoping for a judge likely to go along with his lies about Jan. 6 -- that it was really ANTIFA, that it was peaceful, that those arrested are being persecuted -- he must be disappointed.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has earned a reputation for seeing the Jan. 6 attack as a serious threat against the United States and has, at times, given harsher sentences to insurrectionists than those recommended by prosecutors.
“There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government, beyond sitting at home,” she said in one case.

NEW -- Trump went to federal court to keep his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection a secret.

At his first hearing today, the judge had ... questions.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-ja…
“Isn’t the best person to determine executive privilege the executive?” Judge Tanya Chutkan asked Trump lawyer Justin Clark.

Clark answered: “Not the incumbent executive.”
Trump’s lawyers had argued that a 1974 Supreme Court case regarding Richard Nixon’s attempt to have White House recordings he had made destroyed after he resigned from office gave Trump the right to assert privilege even if Biden refused to do so.

Judge to Trump lawyer Justin Clark, who is trying to keep Trump's involvement in Jan. 6 attack a secret:

"Mr. Clark, I’m going to ask you dial down the rhetoric.”
Judge: “Isn’t the best person to determine executive privilege the executive?
Trump lawyer: “Not the incumbent executive.”
The judge asks what the harm to the Trump is for documents that are by their very nature public and relate to government business to be released.

CONTEXT: This was the guy who came up with the theory that Democrats encouraging Trump supporters to get vaccinated are actually using reverse psychology to make them NOT get vaccinated so they will, instead, get sick and die.
Also, if people disagree with him, he claims he is having sex with their mothers.
