LARRY KLAYMAN (ATTORNEY): What happened on January 6 was the culmination, in my view, of the American people seeing corruption in all three branches of government — particularly in the federal judiciary and at the Supreme Court, where President Trump could not even get a hearing from his own Supreme Court justices. And they rose up.
And it was Thomas Jefferson ... who said that federal judges, unelected, unaccountable to the people, will become despots and tyrants, causing us to shed the blood of patriots and tyrants yet again every 20 years or so.
He didn't want to see anyone hurt. He didn't want to see violence. Neither do I, but this was the natural culmination of the straw breaking the camel's back when Trump could not even get a hearing on his election claims. And consequently, January 6 is a day that won't live in infamy. January 6, in my opinion, is a day that will be a positive time in American history where the American people rose up, mostly peacefully and legally.
...
They were not violent, but it's going to get violent unless this government shapes up and ships out.
The fact is, is that the Republican Party and Fox News, which has become its propaganda organ, are actually condemning the January 6 protestors. Not OAN. I mean, you are who you are. You're conservative and you believe in the rights of the American people. But I was watching the Attorney General Garland's speech yesterday where he was threatening the American people to be quiet, not to dissent, and the chyrons on Fox were actually condemning the peaceful protestors on January 6.
This is where we are. The American people must now rise up peacefully and legally and do it for themselves.
...
KLAYMAN: The point is, is that we the American people ... need to seriously consider whether we need to declare independence from our so-called government again, because there is no Republican opposition to speak of. They, too, are condemning — the Republicans — the peaceful protesters on January 6.
