Jonathan Turley: Trump vs. Waters – in incitement case, she may be best witness in ex-president's defense
Fox News
With rioting continuing in Brooklyn Center and around the country, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., went to Minnesota and told the protesters that they "gotta stay on the street" and "get more confrontational."
Waters has now guaranteed that she could be called as a witness by Trump in his own defense against her own lawsuit. Criminalizing such speech would shred the guarantees of free speech in our country. Waters’ most recent words could well be cited in the ongoing litigation over the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill. As I have previously discussed, the lawsuit by House members and the NAACP may prove a colossal mistake. It is one of a number of lawsuits, including one filed by Rep. Eric. Swalwell, D-Calif., that could ultimately vindicate Trump shortly before the next election.More Related News
