'Trump's insurrection': Legal expert predicts judge will scratch ex-president from ballot

Trump's second run for the White House and perhaps his political future could be toast if a litigation trial in Denver, Colorado, that began this week, doesn't go in his way.

The stark warning was delivered by former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner on his latest episode of "Justice Matters."

"That's why that judge who is presiding over this litigation in that Colorado courtroom, if she is an honest broker of the facts and the law, and I have no reason to be believe she 's not — she will conclude that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection and is therefore disqualified form serving as president again," he said.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

The case is being presided over by Judge Sarah Wallace who already tossed Trump’s try to get the lawsuit thrown out.

It was brought in September by six Colorado voters arguing that Trump should be disqualified from holding office claiming he engaged in “summoning” and “inciting” a mob to halt the certification of the election that favored then President Elect Joe Biden, and therefore exposed himself to the 14th amendment.

The Civil War-era amendment states that anybody who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" when sworn to protect the Constitution is ineligible from holding office.

In an opening statement, attorneys for the plaintiffs, including representatives of the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington [CREW], said their four-point case was simple: Trump took an oath to support the Constitution; the Jan. 6 attack was an insurrection; Trump engaged in that insurrection; and Colorado election officials can and must bar ineligible candidates from the ballot.

A blunt Kirschner believes not only was Jan. 6 an insurrection, but it was all fomented by the former commander-in-chief.

"Make no mistake about it this was Donald Trump's insurrection," he said.

He turned back in time to Trump's debate with then Democratic nominee Joe Biden when Trump peered into the camera and told the Nationalist group, the Proud Boys, "Stand back and stand by" as the moment he "recruited the insurrectionists."

And he then explained that Trump gave the go-ahead on Jan. 6.

"...on the morning of Jan. 6, at his pre-insurrection pep rally on the Ellipse, he incited the insurrection."

"He ginned everybody up with lies. That their vote was stolen. Their election was taken. Their favorite president was being unlawfully taken from them."

Kirschner continued: "He incited the insurrection and then he gave the order to attack.

"He commenced the insurrection. He told them 'You have to fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore. So go to the Capitol and stop the certification. Stop the steal.'"

Kirschner says Trump told the insurrectionists (whom Kirschner called his "foot soldiers") to attack the Capitol and hunt for elected officials and then he failed to "call off the attack, thereby assisting the insurrection."

And when Trump had a chance to try to make sense of the violence that descended on the nation's Capitol, Kirschner claims Trump failed yet again.

"What did he say? 'You are very special! We love you insurrectionists!'"

"And ever since he has been pledging to pardon the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol that day, assaulted police officers, hunted for election officials and in fact stopped the certification of Joe Biden's election win albeit only temporarily."

"He pledged love and pardon to the insurrectionists."
