Judge Luttig believes former Pres. Trump and his supporters "are a clear and present danger to American democracy," saying he worries they will "succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020."

"I don't speak those words lightly."

Why should we care about this guy's opinion?

---

He's been on the short list for SCOTUS for the GOP going back to W.

---

So you're saying he's a Conservative legal scholar?

---

Former 4th Circuit Judge and was a respected conservative jurist. He retired from the bench in 2006 to go be the General Counsel for Boeing and make big bucks. Left Boeing in 2019.

So yes, he used to have a good reputation but has been out of view until he resurfaced with Pence's team.

---

He was working for Boeing during the Max8 debacle, if that tells you anything

---

I noted that as well. He left in 2019. Did he resign, or was he forced out to take a smaller golden parachute? Or just fired?

J. Michael Luttig, 65, who served as counselor and senior adviser to CEO Dennis Muilenburg before the latter was fired Monday by Boeing's board of directors, will retire, the company said Thursday. A former federal appeals court judge, Luttig also served as special adviser for the board, and Boeing said he informed the directors of his "long-considered retirement" effective the end of the year.
Interim CEO Greg Smith said Boeing is grateful to Luttig for his 14 years of work, "especially through this past challenging year for our company."
Luttig was named to the newly created position in May, as the Chicago-based company faced an onslaught of lawsuits and a federal criminal investigation arising from the crashes. Until then, Luttig had served as Boeing's general counsel since 2006.

"During his 13 years of service at Boeing, Judge Luttig has built the finest legal team in the world and delivered an unparalleled record of success for the company," Muilenburg said at the time. "Judge Luttig is not only a brilliant legal mind, but also a critical voice on all the important issues and opportunities facing our company."

But Boeing quickly came under sharp criticism for its response to the crashes, underscored by its attempts to place blame on foreign pilots of the Lion Air plane that crashed in October 2018 off Indonesia and the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed in that country in March, together killing 346 people. The two disasters led to the worldwide grounding of the plane in March, shortly after the second crash.

Bowers refused to cooperate with the attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election by publicly stating that there was no evidence of election fraud that would mandate rejection of the results of the 2020 United States presidential election in Arizona. Bowers is scheduled to testify to the January 6 commission on June 21, 2022.

Bowers also killed a bill in the Arizona House of Representatives which would have allowed the state legislature to override the results of a presidential election in Arizona.

For his efforts in resisting the attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, Bowers was awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. He was one of five honorees to receive the award in 2022.

President Kennedy reminds us to govern is to choose - to choose facts over falsehoods, to honor one's oath and the rule of law over the rule of convenience, to respect the people's choice at the ballot box, even or especially when the result may not be according to our own desire. These acts should not be noteworthy, nor should they be praiseworthy. These decisions are the least that the people should expect of those to whom they entrust the power to choose for them.

Six decades ago in this city, President Kennedy said that the true person of courage is one whom has the courage to stand up; yes, to one's enemies, and the courage to stand up also when necessary to one's associates. And the true person of dedication is one who has an honor mortgaged to no single individual or group and is devoted solely to serving the public good and national interest.

Expanding on data from 1/6 hearings about Georgia & PA in 2020:

* GA Rs won more than 2.49 million votes in 14 races for US House; Trump, 2.46 million.
* PA Rs won more than 3.43 million votes in 18 House races; Trump, 3.38 million.

DJT lost because Rs abandoned him.

They have provided overwhelming evidence of Trump's guilt.

I don't think they should indict Trump, and if they do, I think Biden should pardon him. Country needs to put this nightmare behind us.

His testimony at the hearing today was compelling. Trump's and Eastman's illicit efforts to replace Arizona's electors was very intriguing.

He lost at SCOTUS because the recount was a setup to disenfranchise many Florida voters, and was clearly illegal.

Was that treason? Sedition?

Technically, it was the equal protection argument with varying standards regarding whether or not to count dimpled/hanging chads between counties. Further, whether military ballots would or would not be counted.
