Griswold played a key role in arguing for Trump’s 14th Am Sec 3 disqualification from the presidency after he was found guilty in a state court of insurrection agnst the Constitution. It’s irrelevant that she wasn’t the oral advocate

These are presumptions, not proof — but they provide the solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.” snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack-i…
