'Your gig is up': Legal expert tells Mary Trump how new ruling puts GOPers in 'hot seat'
Donald Trump on Tuesday was put on notice by his niece and an attorney in connection with the former president's latest legal loss in Colorado.
Mary Trump, who is never hesitant to be critical of her uncle and his purported means of accumulating his wealth, just recently highlighted issues in her uncle's "legal fund scam."
On Tuesday, she published an interview on Substack with Joe Gallina, an attorney from Call to Activism, in which Mary Trump says said she is celebrating "Fabulous news today from the Colorado Supreme Court."

Mary Trump asked Gallina about the ruling, and the lawyer said "wonderful day for the rule of law, for democracy and the Constitution."
"We really do have a lot to celebrate," the lawyer wrote. "Obviously, tomorrow's another day you could end up before the Supreme Court, but today, I feel as someone who has been shouting from the rooftops about how terrible Donald Trump has been since the moment he announced, I feel a little vindicated that the Supreme Court of Colorado says that he was an insurrectionist and incited an insurrection. I feel very vindicated for that reason."
Gallina added that, when you go through the decision, "it really is amazing."
"And I want to read one sentence the court says, and I quote, we conclude that the foregoing evidence established that President Trump engaged in insurrection. I'm going to read that one more time. We conclude that the foregoing evidence established that President Trump engaged in insurrection," the lawyer wrote. "So I'm going to talk to Donald directly. I'm going to say, Donald, your gig is up. You're an insurrectionist. According to the Colorado Supreme Court, you engaged in insurrection, the question is answered. Everyone who's reading this should know that you are an insurrectionist. You deserve to lose in 2024, and I hope you are wiped off the ballot in every state of the union because you deserve it."
He further added that the decision puts constitutional conservatives in a tough spot as they battle hypocrisy.
"I think that this decision tonight was a landmark decision; it was a historic decision. It’s a huge, huge victory for the Constitution and a plain reading of the Constitution, which I'm sure we'll talk about. The Constitutionalists now who tend to be conservative have a nightmare tonight because this ruling is actually correct and when you read it, it makes sense. And so now they're going to be in the hot seat to approve it. However, I will say that this decision was the best that could have come, and it was also the most obvious one. And so we'll see how it plays out."
