An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.

Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out “propaganda” to harm his 2024 presidential run.

It comes after Mr Trump was removed from the ballot in Colorado last month, under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision to also block him from the ballot in Maine was handed down on Thursday by state secretary Shenna Bellows.

Speaking to Newsmax on Sunday, Ms Bobb suggested that Ms Bellows be impeached for her decision, and accused her of election interference.

      Oh, even they know, as evidenced by all the death threats against Engoron, Willis, CO Supreme Court, ME sec of state, etc. Only one who seems to not be getting threats is Jack Smith, though I could have just missed those.

      edit: pfffffft of course Jack Smith got death threats, why did I consider otherwise?

        That was a good point. I so rarely hear about the threats against him. Or they don’t stand out among the others.

          I had to actually go search to confirm it. He probably doesn’t make such a great sustainable target for them since after the Hague all their nonsense is a bit muted for him.

        Threats against Jack Smith get less publicity because he’s a well-off white man who isn’t a democratic politician.

          Possibly also because one case he’s working on has to do with Trump provoking violence on Jan 6, so all the death threats aren’t doing Trump any favors there.

            Your point hinges on seditionists understanding nuance or having restraint.

              They seem to understand nuance well enough when willfully ignoring it to make bad faith comparisons.

              Otherwise, true.

                I don’t believe a person needs to understand nuance to be a hypocrite… they just need to value themselves at the expense of others.

      English has so many other words instead of using slurs.

      Be better.
