    After missing a deadline to file at the U.S. Supreme Court, Donald Trump has formally left himself exposed to civil liability lawsuits from people who wish to hold him personally accountable for his role in the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    The agreed-upon Feb. 15 deadline for Trump to file a writ of certiorari at the high court came and went without a word from Trump’s defense team last week, though a spokesman for the former president said he would continue to fight for “presidential immunity” on all fronts, NBC reported.

    The civil immunity issue is different from the criminal immunity issue Trump has now escalated on appeal to the Supreme Court as he attempts to dismiss his indictment in Washington, D.C., alleging he criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

    I already knew that Trump appointed idiots to his government, but it seems to me that he couldn't afford to do so for his lawyers.

    The year 2024 will be by far the most difficult of his life.

    Interesting. I personally haven't heard much about this case other than it was going forward. I suppose he could use the incompetent lawyers defense and maybe find a few willing ears to bend.

    It’s very hard to work for a malignant narcissist, unless you’re a masochist.

    That's a lot of 'ists'!
    He should invest in an apologist to counter the antagonist he brings!

    Trump was out of options here to file anymore appeals, this is a civil case too.

    If I understand you correctly, you're saying that no one would have been able to collect in a civil suit.
