How concerned should Donald Trump be that his Pennsylvania lawyer asked today to be removed from an election case since "(the) client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime"?
I think Trump should be very concerned, especially due to what the White House counsel is now telling West Wing staffers …
And it seems Trump may face charges of treason in the form of sedition.
According to Daily Kos, a West Wing staffer told a source that White House Counsel Pat Cipollone was urging White House officials not to speak to Trump or enable his coup attempt in any way, in order to reduce chances they could be prosecuted for treason under the Sedition Act. “They’re being told to stay away from Trump,” the source said. The White House declined to comment.
When the White House counsel says sedition charges are possible for just talking to Trump, what do the ringleaders of the Trump coup attempts face?

George Clooney Says Riot Put Trump Family "Into the Dustbin of History"

The actor commented on the violent scene at U.S. Capitol Hill during an upcoming episode of KCRW's 'The Business,' declaring "That name will now forever be associated with insurrection."
During an upcoming episode of KCRW's The Business weekly podcast, George Clooney commented briefly on the recent riots that took place at U.S. Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.
Referencing the way that pro-Trump supporters conducted themselves at the scene, Clooney told podcast host Kim Masters — who is The Hollywood Reporter's Editor-at-Large —"It's devastating to watch the people's house being desecrated in that way."
The Midnight Sky actor and director added, "But it is also a tremendous overreach in a way — everybody kept waiting for, what's the one thing, the straw that breaks the camel's back and it just seemed like that line just kept getting moved and moved and moved and outrage didn't even matter anymore, even to the point of calling the Secretary of State in Georgia and pressuring him. None of that seemed to matter. This mattered."
The actor went on to emphasize, "This puts Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Ivanka, all of them, into the dustbin of history. That name will now forever be associated with insurrection." He then referenced how former White House Chief of Staff General Kelly said recently that if he was in the cabinet he would have voted for the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. "This is a big, big difference," said Clooney. "If this is what it takes to set us on the right path, I think that, not that it's worth it, it's not worth it in any shape or form, but at least we should find something hopeful to come out of some of this disaster."
As the incident was taking place at the Capitol on Wednesday, Hollywood stars such as Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Josh Gad and Cynthia Nixon took to social media to weigh in and call for immediate action to be taken. Tech companies including Facebook, Twitter and Twitch responded by temporarily freezing his accounts in the wake of the chaos.
On Thursday, former First Lady Michelle Obama released a lengthy statement, in which she expressed concern for the state of extremism and security in the U.S. "Now is the time for those who voted for this president to see the reality of what they’ve supported — and publicly and forcefully rebuke him and the actions of that mob," said Obama.

Chattanooga assistant football coach fired for 'hateful' tweet about Stacey Abrams
The University of Tennessee in Chattanooga offensive line coach Chris Malone mocked Abrams' appearance and falsely claimed there was cheating in Georgia elections.
Jan. 7, 2021, 5:56 PM EST
By The Associated Press
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has fired an offensive line coach following a social media post disparaging both the state of Georgia and Stacey Abrams.
In the now deleted tweet, screenshots of which were shared widely online, Chris Malone posted on Tuesday night: “Congratulations to the state GA and Fat Albert @staceyabrams because you have truly shown America the true works of cheating in an election, again!!! Enjoy the buffet Big Girl!! You earned it!!! Hope the money is good, still not governor!”
Malone's entire Twitter account was deleted by Wednesday night.
UTC Chancellor Steve Angle posted a video on Thursday announcing the firing and saying the tweet was "hateful, hurtful and untrue."
"Coach Malone is no longer a part of this university," Angle said in the video. "University faculty and staff are expected to lead in a way that achieves and maintains a respectful and tolerant civil campus environment."
"The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga does not tolerate and unequivocally condemns discrimination and hatred of all forms," Angle concluded.
Abrams is the former Democratic leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, former candidate for governor of Georgia and a voting rights activist. She's widely credited with helping Democrats win the 2020 presidential election and Tuesday's U.S. Senate races in Georgia.
Chattanooga athletic director Mark Wharton issued a statement Thursday, saying the post was brought to his attention Wednesday night.
“A totally inappropriate social media post by a member of our football staff was brought to my attention,” Wharton said. “The entire post was appalling.”
Football coach Rusty Wright referred to Malone as “that individual” and called the post unacceptable and said it violated the program’s standards.
Malone was no longer listed on the Chattanooga staff website Thursday morning. Chattanooga played one game in the 2020 season, a loss at Western Kentucky.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office.
If they don’t, she told reporters on Thursday: “Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. That is the overwhelming sentiment of my caucus and the American people.”
She added: “While it is only 13 days left, any day can be a horror show.”
Joe Biden takes office on Jan. 20, but Pelosi did not give a timeline for Pence to respond. “I don’t think it will take long to get an answer from the Vice President,” she said.
Capitol Chaos: Deadline’s Full Coverage
Earlier on Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for Trump to be removed immediately joining with others in the party who have urged such an action. Some Republicans have as well, including Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who told reporters that “there is no question that America would be better off if the president would resign or be removed from office, and if Mike Pence would conduct a peaceful transition of power over the next 13 days until Joe Biden is sworn in.”

Under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can give a written declaration “that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Then the vice president would become acting president. The president can challenge the declaration and trigger a process in which Congress would decide the issue. In that case, it would take two-thirds of both houses of Congress to remove the president.

President-elect Biden has not weighed in on the calls for invoking the 25th Amendment. He told reporters that he would not discuss it on Thursday as he introduced Merrick Garland to be the next attorney general.
Pelosi also said that “accountability is also needed for Republicans in Congress who promoted the extreme conspiracy theories that provoked the violence.”
Trump already has been impeached by the House, but was acquitted in a Senate trial early last year.
Pelosi also called for the resignation of Steven Sund, the chief of Capitol Police, who she said has not called her since the riot at the Capitol.

What gave you the idea that they’re interested in doing anything?
This is the time when I want to hear about intersectionality and it's effect of getting rid of a power structure and why the violence was disproportionate.
Black folks demanding equality threatens the white & elite supremacist power structure that's why you see, the unseasoned who occupied wall street threatened the elite supremacist power structure a saw serve and over the top acts of violence.
Yesterday terrorists attack did not threaten the power structure of the elites nor did it unsettled the white supremacists and it's exactly why proportionally the acts of violence (by the authority)were so much less.
