Wow, I think the ‘Idiot Defense’ is perfectly suited for the insurrectionist asshole.

 

Why Trump can't use the 'idiot' defense other Jan. 6 defendants often do

For the past three years, defense lawyers seeking leniency for Jan. 6 rioters have often struck a similar theme in trying to explain to federal judges and Washington juries how their clients fell for thoroughly debunked lies about the 2020 presidential election.

They argued that their clients weren’t very smart or that they had conditions that made them vulnerable to disinformation.

True, most of Boss Hogg’s minions ‘aren’t very smart’, and their attorneys used that fact in their defense.

But it’s hard to see the same approach working for Trump, who famously called himself a “very stable genius,” as his own Jan. 6 trial nears, as was instrumental in planning and organizing the insurrection, to keep himself in power after he LOST the election and he KNEW it.

Trump — who has bragged about his Ivy League education at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and who has described himself as “a very smart guy” with “a very good brain”, and famously said:

I know words

I have the best words

I’m like really smart 

A stable genius

And we all know, he wouldn’t LIE!
