Psychopath vs. psychopath. Enjoy the show.

Trump's legal troubles mount as Oath Keepers plan to throw him under the bus at sedition trial

Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas. Sleep with psychopaths, wake up fucked.

I'm glad you're getting a taste of what you've done to everyone else, Donnie.

This is starting to look like the long arc of justice.

FTA: ... jury selection began for the trial of Oath Keepers head Stewart Rhodes and four other members of his far-right militia. The Oath Keepers, as with the Proud Boys, are both heavily linked to Stone and both were central to the Capitol insurrection.

The Department of Justice has a treasure trove of evidence against the Oath Keepers. Two of the members charged with seditious conspiracy have already struck deals, pleading guilty and cooperating with prosecutors. In addition, the government has a mother lode of text messages between group members that not only showcases their planning but also their links to Stone and other people in Trump's orbit. Unable to deny that they were up to their necks in seditious conspiring, the five Oath Keepers are going to trial with a novel defense: Blaming Trump for telling them to do it. [emphasis mine]

"They intend to tell the jury that when armed teams of Oath Keepers made plans to rush into Washington from Virginia on Jan. 6, 2021, they believed they would be following legal orders from the president himself," the New York Times reports. Because they claim to have been acting on orders from Trump, the defendants plan to argue they believed the insurrection was legal. [emphasis mine]

And best of all, it's true.

This is the hidden weakness of psychopaths. They have no loyalties; they are willing to fuck anyone, including one another.
