Reggie Walton: Al Gore was "like a man" when he lost the election
They were the words of the federal judge to relate it to the attitude of Donald Trump in the 2020 elections
A federal government judge referred to former President Donald Trump for lying about alleged fraud during the 2020 elections. He said former Vice President Al Gore had a more favorable situation to challenge the results of the 2000 elections, yet he was "a man "and withdrew.
"Al Gore had more and better arguments than Trump, yet he was a man about what happened", Chief District Judge Reggie Walton said of Gore's decision to end his official candidacy after a long time of fights in court. "He recognized it and left".
The declarations of Walton were made in the hearing that was carried out to clarify the event of the disturbance of the Capitol, where Adam Johnson is investigated; who was seen carrying the platform of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, through the Capitol building.
"What concerns me, sir, is that you were too gullible to come to Washington from Florida based on lies," Walton said, "and the individual who motivated you to do what you continue to do continues with the same statements, I am concerned that be gullible enough to do it again".
Investigations continue
Walton, who was appointed by former President Bush, is the latest to add his voice to the group of judges who criticize Trump for misleading his supporters.
Last week, a federal judge indicated that Donald Trump had some guilt in the attack on the Capitol and called the instigators "pawns" who were incited to do so.
So far, more than 130 defendants have confessed to the charges related to the Capitol riots, and most of them have admitted misdemeanor charges.

Plain Scavo, who told nearby media and the FBI that he coordinated some transports to bring individuals from eastern Pennsylvania to Washington, was sentenced to 60 days in prison and received the maximum fine of $5,000.
The sentence, handed down by District Judge Royce Lamberth, was far more brutal than the 14 days in prison mentioned by the Justice Department. Scavo confessed to making an illegal protest on Capitol Hill.
Scavo told the designated authority that he had a "deep sense of regret" for his actions, adding later that "it was a mistake."

"From the second the event ended, you did everything you could," Lamberth told Scavo in a concise comment after sentencing. "Go well," he added.
According to the Justice Department, Scavo had caught the assaults on Capitol Police officials while recording with his phone and gloating about "storming" the Capitol. Scavo wrote on his Facebook that day that "PENCE IS OUT OF THE CAPITOL" and "No certification today !!!"
He "had a front row seat" to the Capitol attack, Deputy US Attorney Seth Meinero said during the conference, adding that Scavo saw the group push toward the east front of the Capitol after the Trump meeting.
