It looks like Mo Brooks, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr, and Rudy Giuliani are left holding the bag by themself, for inciting the capitol insurrection.
This week the Department of Justice let Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., know it is not going to be his wingman. At least, not in the context of defending him against California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s lawsuit.
Swalwell alleges that Brooks should be held liable for inciting the insurrection in the Capitol. But the DOJ’s decision means Brooks is likely to be left defending himself against Swalwell’s allegations. It also means former President Donald Trump, who is also named as a defendant in the suit, could face the same fate. So much for having the DOJ as Trump’s ride or die.
