mr. trump was aware of the tinder laid by a multi month effort to delegitimize a democratic election, the election of 2020. and then he chose to light a match on january 6th. and then did nothing for a time. the evidence presented demonstrated it. remember, the events of january 6th, 2021, and this was borne out by the evidence, were unprecedented and tragic. there was an attack not only on the capitol and on the government officials there in congress, former vice president, but also an attack on the rule of law. the evidence demonstrated that occurred at the behest of and with the knowledge of support of the outgoing president. joining us now is professor laurence tribe who, has taught constitutional law at harvard.

assessed or the property or liberty of the defendant might be at stake. hear what is at stake is whether donald trump disqualified himself. unlike many other possible disqualifications like age or birth in the united states, where there is nothing an individual can do to remove the disqualification. it s just there because of the fact that his beyond that person s control. here it is entirely within the control of an officer of the united states who takes an oath to support the constitution, not to engage in insurrection. if he chooses to engage an insurrection there s nothing undemocratic or unfair about saying he has disqualified himself. 34-page opinion by secretary bellows is very precise. she invokes the right statutes under the law of maine, and there s nothing in what the president s new lawyer just filed that in any way gives the courts of maine a basis to overturn what she did.
