“Efforts by Vice President Kamala Harris to halt the ‘lock him up’ chants targeted at Donald Trump at this week’s Harris-Waltz rally may be an effort to avoid the kind of rhetoric seen at Trump rallies in 2016.” NBC News I will report.
“But there is also a very practical reason for Ms. Harris to avoid expressing support for such language: if she were to say or sign such support, it could further delay or complicate the federal criminal prosecution facing Mr. Trump, including the January 6th and 2020 election interference cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.”
“If Harris wins the November election, Trump’s January 6th lawsuit would still head to trial, even though it has been weakened by the Supreme Court. Because Harris is the sitting vice president in an administration that appointed the attorney general overseeing the litigation, any comments she makes about the trial could provide ammunition for the former president’s lawyers who may argue in court that her comments violated Trump’s due process rights.”
