French philosopher Voltaire said he had only one prayer in life — “O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous” — and that it was uniformly granted by God. The answer to Donald Trump’s prayers may be Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.). It is not because of Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese agent or the bizarre defenses of him, including one Democrat insisting he deserved the Medal of Honor. It is because Swalwell’s lawsuit against the former president could offer Trump the ultimate vindication over his role in the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
Swalwell’s 64-page complaint against Trump — along with son Donald Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) — alleges nine counts for relief, from negligent emotional distress suffered by Swalwell to negligence in the “incitement to riot.” One might think this would be a lead-pipe cinch of a case. After all, an array of legal experts has insisted for months that this was clear criminal incitement, not an exercise of free speech. As a civil lawsuit, it should be even easier to win, since the standard of proof is lower for civil cases.
Yet, for more than four years, many of these same experts claimed a long list of “clear” crimes by Trump that were never prosecuted or used as a basis for impeachment. Likewise, despite similar claims of criminal incitement, roughly three months have passed without a criminal charge against Trump. District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine insisted weeks ago that Trump’s alleged crime would be investigated. Yet any such prosecution likely would collapse at trial or on appeal, and people like Racine are not eager to prove Trump’s case.
Enter Swalwell, who has long exhibited a willingness to rush in where wiser Democrats fear to tread, with what may be his costliest misstep yet. --->READ MORE Jonathan Turly HERE
Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz called Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell's lawsuit against Donald Trump a "political stunt" with "mind-boggling implications."
Speaking to Newsmax in a video shared to Twitter on Saturday, Dershowitz likened the lawsuit to "suing God for writing the Bible."
"It certainly is a political stunt, the implications of it are mind-boggling. That means you can sue Black Lives Matter for any violence that ensued from their platform," he said.

"I guess the final implication is you can sue God for writing the Bible, because the Bible led to the crusades and other violence. And you could sue Imam's for making speeches in churches and in mosques and synagogues," he added. --->READ MORE HERE
