Movies re: Supreme Court Want to Toss Charges Against TRUMP/Jan 6 Rioters & BAN Protests

'Pivotal': Judge May Be About to Spill KEY Information on TRUMPs' Jan. 6 Actions


A judge may be about to open up NEW information to reveal former President Donald Trump took actions in his "PRIVATE Capacity" on January 6, rather than as a public official — with huge implications for his criminal trials.

Trump says members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should go to jail


MSRAW 6 APR 2024





According to Law & Crime, "This is a key distinction for a group of former and current U.S. lawmakers and police suing Trump for violations of The Ku Klux Klan Act, as Law&Crime previously reported.



Just this week, the former president filed a motion to stay that civil litigation indefinitely, invoking his brewing immunity question before the Supreme Court." U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is handling the matter.


"Trump argues the overlap between the civil claim and his criminal indictment prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith is too great and that going to trial, or even beginning pretrial proceedings like discovery, would threaten his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination," the report noted.

This comes after the lawsuit, which has been underway for years, was allowed to move forward after Trump's claim to being immune from the civil action was rejected. The separate matter of whether Trump is immune from criminal prosecution is currently set to be decided by the Supreme Court.

The attorney representing the plaintiffs, Joseph Sellers, told Law & Crime that the impact on the criminal case could be huge: “The criminal case that’s before the Supreme Court on the question of immunity is framed entirely differently in this respect and it’s quite important. In our civil case, the question is whether his conduct was primarily of an official or private nature. That’s pivotal.”

A big part of the case turns on the things Trump said at his "Stop the Steal" rally at the Ellipse on January 6 as the riot on the other side of the complex was beginning to take shape, said Sellers.

“It’s clear the content of what he said was about seeking and securing his reelection. The courts have repeatedly confirmed that seeking your reelection is a necessarily private act. There is no ‘official’ role that can be performed for people who are campaigning for their election whether you’re incumbent or not.

Either way, the campaign activity is necessarily private in nature.”
