I'm no legal expert, but I would think with all the evidence coming out pointing to Trump not stopping the riot, they might have a pretty good case. It's a thought.

(9,998 posts)They're more likely to sue Joe Biden for winning a fraudulent election, than they are to ever utter a bad word about TFG.
They've all but excused the people who stormed the Capitol for being responsible for their daughter's death. They would probably vote for TFG again if given the chance.

(25,241 posts)Have there been any statements made by her parents? Are they Tr**per's?
Some lawyer could probably convince them that they have a good chance of making some big money if they go after Tr**p.
I would think that Tr**p couldn't hide behind 'executive privilege' in such a case and that maybe they could get Tr**p deposed.
On second thought - I would think Tr**p would spend big bucks to settle out of court with them just so he wouldn't have to face any kind of trial.
This is an intriguing thought though.

(3,240 posts)Maybe a brother or sister, or another close loved one might be able to sue. Like I said, just a thought.

(6,011 posts)Trump didn't drag any of those animals to Washington, DC against their will.
Babbitt got what they all deserved that day. Now the far right is trying to make
a martyr out of that pig.

(3,240 posts)Trump didn't drag them against their will, but he did lie to them. Then after he lied to them, he left them.

(6,011 posts)pity or respect for even their lives from me.
Being stupid enough to be conned, and having no sort of moral compass, is no excuse for what they did that day.
As for Babbitt's parents -- Great Parenting, Folks !!!

(35,658 posts)The judge said on the 5 year sentence today. He pointed out that a lot of people were disappointed, but the defendant made the decision to go assault the Capitol.

(3,724 posts)trump already visited her parents. Trying to turn her into some sick and twisted martyr.
Note: trump never met with the families of the Capitol Hill police who were driven to suicide. Or even mentioned in passing what the police had to deal with that day.

(1,952 posts)Babbitt was committing a federal crime when she was killed. If I were the judge, I'd throw this case out of court before it started.

(104 posts)I want to say that they should join her in treasonous paradise, but I refuse to stoop to their level. I simply will not say that, Never.
You cannot force me to say that she got what she deserved and her parents deserve to live with what they created. I refuse. Do not even try.
