Nothing to see here. Just a former president of the United States sharing a social media post advocating or predicting civil war in the United States. No biggie.
In case anyone doubts this is real:
Lord, forgive me for coveting another social media site

Exactly. And I can give an example of how this is supposed to work.
In 1986, I was president of the Yale Law School chapter of Federalist Society. One of the events we held was a speech by Clarence Pendleton, then chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights.
Pendleton was controversial. It's fair to say the vast majority of the Yale community despised him. He was Black, and he was opposed to all racial discrimination, including what both then and today is euphemistically called "affirmative action."

By @judgeluttig: "The clear and present danger to our democracy now is that former President Donald Trump and his political allies appear prepared to exploit the Electoral Count Act of 1887 ... to seize the presidency in 2024 if Trump or his anointed candidate is not elected."
"He confirmed as much in a twisted admission of both his past and future intent earlier this month, claiming that congressional efforts to reform the Electoral Count Act actually prove that Mike Pence had the power to overturn the 2020 presidential election."
"Mr. Trump and his allies insist that the 2020 election was 'stolen,' a product of fraudulent voting and certifications of electors who were not properly selected. Over a year after the election, they ... demand[] that the rest of the G.O.P. embrace their lies."

After reading tonight's order from the Supreme Court and rereading Judge Millett's opinion for the D.C. Circuit, I'm not sure it's possible to overstate how thorough and brutal a defeat this short-lived litigation was for Trump and his allies.
To put a fine point on it, the way that the Supreme Court cut back on the Court of Appeals' opinion—by saying it didn't matter that Trump is a former president—places even greater weight on the Court of Appeals' evisceration of the substance of Trump's claims of privilege and ...
... on the vital importance of the legislative purposes being served by the Jan. 6 select committee's investigation.

I wrote about AG Garland's speech yesterday and what it should mean for DOJ's Jan. 6 investigation.
Garland's speech was a call for patience — and a promise of full justice. He explained how massive, complex investigations proceed—from the bottom up, from the small fry to the big fish.
Above all, he pledged that DOJ has "no higher priority," would do "whatever it takes for justice to be done," and would hold "all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law—whether they were present that day" at the Capitol or not.

Hannity's not a journalist. And he certainly wasn't acting as a journalist when he engaged in these communications.
Just as Chris Cuomo had no right to avoid testifying about his advisory communications with his brother's staff, Hannity has no First Amendment or shield law privilege here.
ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
Not even a broad shield law like New York's that probably goes beyond what the 1A provides (a SCOTUS majority never having actually recognized such a journalistic privilege) would help Hannity even if it could be invoked against a congressional subpoena (which it can't).
