Oct 30 (Reuters) - Donald Trump should be disqualified from Colorado's ballot in next year's election because he "incited a violent mob" in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, an advocacy group lawyer argued at the opening of a trial on Monday.

A lawsuit brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is a test case for whether a rarely-used, Civil War-era provision of the U.S. Constitution that bars people who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding federal office, can prevent Republican Trump from being president again.

"Trump incited a violent mob to attack our Capitol, to stop the peaceful transition of power," Eric Olson, an attorney representing voters and the advocacy group said in an opening statement of the one-week trial before a Colorado District Court judge.

U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell, Democrat of California, testified on Monday that Trump's attempts to decrease tensions hours after the violence began did little to assuage the fears of lawmakers as they emerged from lockdown to certify the election results.

"I feared that if Republicans were going to continue to challenge the outcome, the mob would return and the scene on the floor could become combustible," Swalwell said.

Trump violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Section 3, 14th Amendment.

The Constitution outlines how an election is held. He tried to coerce Pence to violate that and incited others to commit sedition. He made efforts to influence the vote count in GA. He even made statements that he would terminate parts of the Constitution.

It was a dereliction of duty for AG Garland to refuse to prosecute Trump for organizing the attack on the Capitol.
 
That was the reason the CIA Jan 6 operation was branded an insurrection by the Regime and pumped constantly as such in Regime Media.

I pointed this out here at JPP well over a year ago.
