QOTD: Season of Legal Reckoning

 

"Now, because of the Jan. 6 commission, because of the Department of Justice's hundreds of indictments and what we have learned from those defendants, and because of lawsuits in New York, as well as what's being investigated in Georgia, Donald Trump right now is going into a season of legal reckoning.

"And there are storms that are really brewing right now in strengthening that could hit him, both criminally and civilly. I brought my case civilly to do mine in small part, to bring accountability to the person who started the insurrection and I hope as far as accountability, it ends with him being held accountable." -- Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) last night on MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" (our emphasis).

BONUS: The highest court in New York State has swept aside Trump's last ditch attempt to block his testimony in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against the Trump Organization, clearing the way for his and his children's depositions next month.
