Episode 13 | Revenge of January 6

Published 6 hours ago
Description

Our hosts, law professor Ilan Wurman and Kathryn Johnson, take a deep dive into the ongoing January 6 lawfare, and particularly the civil lawsuit against President Trump brought by capitol police officers and lawmakers in D.C. Did you even know that such a lawsuit was going on? Our hosts break down the 2024 immunity decision, talk about the Independent Counsel statute from the Watergate era, and break down the causes of action against Trump in the civil case. Did Trump "direct" others to assault and batter capitol police officers? Did he "aid and abet" the attacks? Or is the civil lawsuit another outrageous attempt by Movement lawyers to abuse the legal process to harass their political opponents? The hosts round out the episode with discussion of the lawfare against the ordinary citizens who served as "alternate electors" in 2020 and the recent disbarment of Trump lawyer John Eastman.
