Jeffrey Toobin is a special kind of moron

13. Let's see the responses from his own former legal Prof, Laurence Tribe, Barb Quade and others

Laurence Tribe

says AG Garland shouldn’t even investigate Trump’s role in the seditious insurrection because “the leading precedent … comes from a case from 1863!” Hmmm. Could that maybe be because. . . wait for it: This is the first insurrection we’ve had since the Civil War?

Could not disagree more. This assumes intent cannot be proven if someone lies about his own. No other criminals get that kind of pass. Trump shouldn’t, either. There’s more than enough predication to investigate and a substantial federal interest in protecting election

Joyce Vance:
Toobin makes the remarkably wrong claim that “based on the available evidence, there is no basis to prosecute Trump & little reason” to investigate. Of course, he doesn’t know all of the evidence DOJ possesses & “little reason” is enough to investigate.
