If you're his CFO and you want him to "support the family"... you pay his legal fees.  If you're anyone who attempted to help him expose the fraud of the 2020 election (ie Rudy and co....), you promise and then don't pay.  

Payment is solely based on your loyalty to the family.

Technically, "inciting" a riot would need to occur before the riot were to take place.  Arranging for bail for rioters, after a riot takes place, could be called other things, but it is not incitement.  Supporting or predicting protests is not incitement either.  A better example of incitement would be something like this: "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore,"  - though even that is subject to debate given context.

• Trump incited a riot at the Capitol where Police were beaten, calls to hang the Vice President were shouted and feces was smeared on the Capitol walls.
• Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. 
• 174 police officers were injured and 4 officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.
• Damage caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

TRUMP DID NOTHING FOR FOUR HOURS.
Keep splitting the short and curlies over who 'incites' violence. Paper thin and pathetic.

Walz called in the National Guard before Trump offered any help.  

Donald Trump regarding Tim Walz handling of Minneapolis riots (June 1, 2020 recording) : 

“Tim, you called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast, it was like bowling pins,”
“What they did in Minneapolis was incredible. They went in and dominated, and it happened immediately,”
“(Walz is) an excellent guy”

In the say-anything department... your boy blatantly lies about his involvement and changes his mind about the recorded and public praise he directed at Walz's handling of the events? 

So what changed?

One or two days seems in line or faster than other major riot situations like Watts and Rodney King. Dynamic situation and typically one would want the police to handle things if possible. When did they say they needed the guard? I don't know and expect you don't either.  

I mean unless you want the military to be patrolling your streets all the time.

I have read quite a bit of criticism of Harris from the left for her stance on crime. Her legacy is mixed, as it should be for someone in that position where you deal with actual cases and actual people rather than just a few high-profile headlines. She ran as anti-death penalty and didn't seek it in a case of a murdered police officer but also appealed a federal court ruling that the state's death penalty law was unconstitutional. Many of her reforms were successful, some not so, and some like threatening to jail parents whose children were truants (none were actually jailed) were successful but considered unwarranted. She did a good job taking on the banks after the global financial crisis, and got a huge settlement for California compared to what Obama had negotiated. But I guess you don't consider white collar crime a problem. trump certainly doesn't.

This Vox article seems pretty balanced.

What's True

Harris did date former San Francisco Mayor and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown for a period of time between 1994 to 1995. In his capacity as speaker, Brown appointed her to two political posts — first to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, and then to the Medical Assistance Commission.

What's False

Although Brown was technically still married during the time period that he dated Harris, he had been estranged from his wife Blanche Brown for more than a decade. Harris' first, successful run for office in 2003 happened well after the relationship ended, and Harris sought to distance herself from Brown.


Sure... he may have provided some early help in getting that "well known springboard to Attorney General... the CA unemployment insurance appeals board..."  They were adults, he was estranged from his wife, it was over long before she was ever elected to anything.
