This defense of Trump is like the upside down world.

Good lawyers refrain from absurd statements, understanding this undermines one’s credibility. This person is refraining from any non-absurd statements.
Phew. I was worried we’d go 10 minutes before hearing #BothSides.
How this guy thinks the protestors last summer are anything like the President of the US inciting an insurrection against a coordinate branch of govt on a sacred day of their performing their most impt duties is beyond me.
This guy says "you can't incite what was already going to happen." What kind of defense is that? For 1 thing, House saying Trump gave instructions to make it happen. For another,if Trump thought it was inevitable, why didn’t he have Natl Guard in advance ready to stop it on 1/6?
By Trump standards, this guy is Clarence Darrow. In that he can put a sentence together.

By normal standards, this bizarre over the top speech is a terrible defense of Trump. So far it has made exactly zero rational points. It’s just a list of grievances and false equivalencies
Hmm why is it that the statement by trump lawyer that Trump has been the only one who is consistently against mob violence reminds me of ...

...Trump saying he is the least racist person in the world?
Oh good. I was worried we’d go 20 minutes without hearing “cancel culture.” He made it just under the limit.
Omg. This guy is now calling for unity. After what he just said. Is this an SNL parody?
Trump lawyer now asserting that the House managers doctored evidence. That’s a really serious, ugly accusation. He better be able to back it up.
Wait. His claim is there was doctored evidence that was ... not introduced?
Now the claim is they didn’t show the entire 1/6 Trump speech? Pleaassse. Let’s everyone watch the whole speech.

You’d have to be an ostrich to think that the Trump speech was an invitation to a “peaceful” “cheer” of House and Senate Rs.
This idea that by Trump saying once “peaceful” it means he’s off the hook is the time honored strategy of mob bosses everywhere. That’s the move.
This is a ludicrous defense. Not even Daniel Webster could make someone believe that @ewarren is calling for violence in the way Trump was. It’s patently absurd.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
