CNN Host Reminds Trump Lawyer 'January 6th Was Not Peaceful'

Trump attorney John Lauro proves once again he's very bad at his job. Lauro should do Trump a favor and get off of television, but instead he keeps admitting to Trump's crimes over and over again, and he did it at least twice during interviews this Sunday.

During a somewhat contentious interview on CNN's State of the Union, host Dana Bash went round and round with Lauro, who continued to insist that Trump had every right to ask Pence and others to overturn the election, calling it a matter of "free speech" and that somehow "asking" Pence not to certify the election is not the same thing as "directing" him to do it.

Lauro asserted that somehow Trump couldn't have committed a crime because ultimately Mike Pence didn't listen to him and certified the election, and when he made this lame attempt to normalize the coup attempt, claiming that there was a "peaceful transfer of power," Bash hit back:

With Lauro asserting there was a "peaceful transfer of power," the CNN host shot back, " What happened on January 6th was not peaceful."

She then continued, "I want to ask you something about John Eastman, because you talked a lot about how he's a respected constitutional attorney."

"The transfer of power was certainly peaceful," Lauro interrupted.
