Federal Government Operatives And Soros Money Behind Plot To Keep Trump Off Ballot

Maine s top election official removed Trump from the state s 2024 primary ballot on Thursday, joining the Colorado Supreme Court in disqualifying Trump from running for president. Maine s Secretary of State Shenna Bellows determined that Trump was ineligible to run under the 14th Amendment due to his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Tonight s decision relied heavily on the precedents CREW s clients set first in New Mexico in 2022, then again in Colorado last week, said Noah Bookbinder, the president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). These decisions make it clear that nobody, including the former president, is above the law.

But the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the storming of the Capitol was a security failure, not a coup attempt, and that undercover law enforcement informants or officers may have allowed, or even encouraged, it to happen. January 6 prosecutors have failed to prove a clear link between the rioters and Trump or his associates. And the fact that the Department of Justice declined to indict Trump for inciting an insurrection is a tacit recognition that Trump s words leading up to the riot were legal speech.
