Another day, another lawsuit filed against Donald Trump Jr. & Co. And this one is pretty bad, folx.
The ex-presidentâs eldest son, who is currently being probed by both the Manhattan District Attorneyâs Office and the Washington, D.C. Attorney Generalâs Office, was just served with legal papers concerning his alleged involvement in the deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Eric Swalwell of California filed a lawsuit today in Washington, D.C.âs federal District Court. It accuses Don Jr., along with his dad, Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama of violating an anti-terrorism act, aiding and abetting violent rioters, and inflicting emotional distress on the members of Congress.
âThe Defendants, in short, convinced the mob that something was occurring that â if actually true â might indeed justify violence, and then sent that mob to the Capitol with violence-laced calls for immediate action,â the lawsuit states.

All four men gave speeches at the pre-insurrection rally that took place outside the White House shortly before rioters embarked on their âSave America Marchâ and breached the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Donald Trump told people to âshow strengthâ and âfight like hell.â Meanwhile, Giuliani called for a âtrial by combatâ and Brooks encouraged rioters to âkick ass.â
And then there was Don Jr., who gave a passionate, expletive-filled speech, during which he told the crowd, âYou can be a hero, or you can be a zero. And the choice is yours. But we are all watching. The whole world is watching, folks. Choose wisely.â

Junior went on to declare his father the official owner of the Republican party (âThis isnât their Republican Party anymore! This is Donald Trumpâs Republican Party!â), claimed the 2020 election was rigged, whined about Instagram, and thanked the âred-blooded, patriotic Americansâ in the crowd for âstanding up to the bullsh*t!â
Afterwards, he shared a since-deleted video on social media of himself and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, dancing and celebrating backstage at the pre-insurrection rally.
In his lawsuit, Swalwell says the four henchmen âdirectly incited the violence at the Capitol that followed and then watched approvingly as the building was overrun.â
The lawsuit also claims that Don Jr. specifically âlambasted the alleged âglaring inconsistenciesâ and âstatistical impossibilitiesâ that allegedly had made President Bidenâs win possible.â

It adds: âThe horrific events of January 6 were a direct and foreseeable consequence of the Defendantsâ unlawful actions. As such, the Defendants are responsible for the injury and destruction that followed.â
Don Jr. hasnât commented on his latest legal dilemma. Instead, heâs been complaining about gas prices and bitching about Dr. Seuss on Twitter.

ALL WERE HAPPY AND DIDN’T SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL. REPUBLICANS ARE SCUMBAGS AND STILL SCUM. LOOK AT THE STIMULUS BILL THAT REPUBLICANS ARE FIGHTING AGAINST. WHY? THEY DON’T WANT TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES, THE PUBLIC, OR TO “STIMULATE” THE ECONOMY WHICH IT WHAT A F*CKING STIMULUS CHECK IS FOR. NOT JUST HELPING THOSE WHO NEED TO PAY BILLS. DUH!!!

I totally agree

The ideal Republican stimulus bill would be one that it was easy for large corporations, big businesses and fake tax shelter businesses for the rich to take advantage of. And it would only offer stimulus checks to individuals and families that were small enough “so that they did not get too comfortable”.

I hope they put those dirty nazi traitors in prison for the rest of their miserable lives. The GOPQ is the lowest form of pond scum on this planet.

does this guy just do coke all day & night? he always appears disturbingly energized, adrenalized & aggressive. and incoherent. losing his mind in public but will have lots of time in prison to rehabilitate and reflect. or maybe just rot in his cell 23 hours a day.

Shame you can’t live stream a prison cell 24/7, him detoxing would make a great cautionary tale of overindulgence.

He must be a huge disappointment to his father. He acts like he himself thinks so.

Dr. Seuss estate pulled those books! All they do is lie and stroke fear! What confuses me is how there constitutes keep falling for it! Is the hate/fear for the âotherâ that deep?

Silly people. Rich folks don’t go to jail, they can afford good lawyers. Druggy Mr. Tumnus will be going to jail for protecting those muffins, though.
