.Jordan_S_Rubin: Trump might have thought that judges — including the Supreme Court majority he helped create — would help him overthrow the election. The courts are doing quite the opposite.
, which was released to the public after the meeting ending, revealed a lot of interesting details.
A federal judge has already refused to dismiss Dominion’s lawsuit against Giuliani. And judging from an excerpt from Giuliani’s deposition to the committee, Giuliani’s defense against Dominion’s defamation claim just got harder. In proving defamation, a plaintiff must show, among other elements that the defendant made a false statement of fact and was at least negligent, if not reckless or knowing, in doing so.
But the admission — which the committee cites as evidence of Giuliani’s knowledge that the “big lie” was, in fact, a lie — likely also has some Dominion lawyers celebrating their unexpected luck today.If anyone needed further evidence that Trump did not want to do anything that might take the national temperature down and cool the passions among his supporters, even if those passions increased the potential for violence, former longtime Trump adviser Hope Hicks provided some.
The former president’s supporters have long maintained that neither Trump nor anyone else could have foreseen how the events of Jan. 6 would explode into violence. True enough, but nor did the president take any steps—even rising to the level of a mere gesture on social media — to pre-empt the prospect of violence as long as the violence would be done on his behalf. He most certainly knew that his supporters could become violent if only because his advisers repeatedly informed him of that fact.
