Washington Post: Donald Trump can be held civilly liable for the actions of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, an appeals court ruled Friday in a long-awaited decision that could clear the way for lawsuits seeking financial damages from the former president.
This court drew a line that separates Presidential conduct and civil conduct. This reinforces the other courts ruling against rioters, who were asking for leniency or exoneration because they were “following the Commander in Chief’s orders.” In short, their dumb-assery is on them.
