June 9, 2022
Heather Cox Richardson

“Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

So Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), vice chair of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, damned her Republican colleagues at tonight's first hearing on the January 6 insurrection.

And that was only a piece of what we heard tonight.

Calmly, carefully, convincingly, and in plain, easy to understand language, committee leaders Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Cheney placed former president Donald Trump at the center of an attempt to overturn our democracy. They were very clear that what happened on January 6 was an attempted coup, an “attempt to undermine the will of the people.” All Americans should remember, they reminded us, that on the morning of January 6, Donald Trump intended to remain president, despite his loss in the 2020 election and his constitutional obligation to step down in favor of President-elect Joseph R. Biden, as every president before him had done.

The committee established that there was no fraud in the 2020 election that would have changed the results of the election, showing testimony from Trump’s attorney general Bill Barr that the argument that Trump had won was “bullsh*t.” The committee presented testimony from other administration figures, including Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows and his daughter Ivanka, that Trump had been told repeatedly that he had lost. And yet, even with his inner circle telling him he had lost, and even with more than 60 failed lawsuits over the election, Trump continued to lie that he had been cheated of victory.

It was Trump who “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame” for January 6, the committee says. Unable to accept his loss and determined to remain in power, Trump organized and deployed an attack on our democracy.

The committee established that the attack on the Capitol was not a random, spontaneous uprising. The rioters came at Trump’s invitation. While they had been muttering about the results since immediately after the election, it was Trump’s tweet of December 19, 2020, that lit the fuse. That night, the former president met with lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, former national security advisor Michael Flynn, and others at the White House. Shortly after the meeting, Trump tweeted that it was “tatistically impossible to have lost the 2020 election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”

Members of the extremist organizations the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers took Trump’s December 19th tweet as a call to arms. On December 20, they began to organize to go to Washington. These radical white supremacists had taken great pride in Trump’s shout-out in a presidential debate on September 29 that the Proud Boys should “stand back and stand by.” After that comment, membership in the Proud Boys had tripled.

Members of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers testified that they went to Washington because Trump personally asked them to. “Trump has only asked me for two things,” one man testified: “my vote, and he asked me to come on January 6.”

So what was Trump's “sophisticated seven-part plan to overturn the 2020 election and prevent the transition of presidential power" to which Liz Cheney referred?

Part one: Trump repeatedly and aggressively lied to the public falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him. 

Part two: Corruption of Justice Dept. --Trump sought to replace the Acting Attorney General with a loyalist so as to weaponize DOJ to use the force of the law to support his election lies. 

Part three: Trump corruptly and repeatedly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to violate the U.S. Constitution and the law by refusing to count certified electoral votes on January 6 

Part four: Trump improperly pressured state election officials and legislators to change their states' election results and undermine the will of the voters in their states by flipping the state from Biden to Trump. 

Part five: Trump’s team, including his lawyers, told GOPers across the country to manufacture fake slates of electors and send those fake elector slates to the U.S. Congress and the National Archives. 

Part six: Trump summoned and assembled a mob of supporters to D.C. and directly told them to march to the US Capitol. 

Part seven: Despite the violence against police and in the Capitol, Trump ignored myriad pleas for help and folks begging him to take immediate action to stop the violence and tell the MAGA mob to leave the Capitol.

Key takeaways from part one last night.

1. Trump knew he lost the 2020 election

2. He never called the military to intervene & save Congress from a violent mob

3. He actually thought Pence should be hanged by the insurrectionists

4. Jared Kushner dismissed White House attorney threats to quit in protest as "whining"

5. Sev erl Republicans in Congress played enough of a role that they secretly sought presidential pardons *for criminal behavior* from Trump

6. Proud Boys membership tripled when Trump told them to "stand back & stand by" and be his loyal brownshirts

7. Mark Meadows tried to drag the top US military official into politics to create a "narrative" that Trump made "all the decisions"

8. Sean Hannity told Kayleigh McEnany that 25th amendment "is real"... to which she responded "Love that!" and claimed it was part of "the playbook."

9. Ex-AG Bill Barr said election fraud claims were "bullshit," "crazy stuff," & "complete nonsense"

There's so much more, but I'll end with this:

10. There was "a sophisticated 7-part plan to overturn the presidential election and prevent the transfer of power."
And the threat to our Republic is not over.

"Another significant revelation from the Vice-Chair Liz Cheney yesterday is that several GOP lawmakers sought pardons from then-president Trump after January 6th, presuming, it seems, they had criminal exposure here," host Sciutto asked as CNN identified the four lawmakers as Perry along with Reps. Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Mo Brooks of Alabama. "What is your reaction? You're a former sitting Republican member of Congress, to hear that some of your former colleagues were looking for a pardon, felt they needed a pardon."

An INSURRECTION without firearms?

A COUP without firearms?

A COUP where United States President, Donald J. Trump, was speaking at a rally A GREAT DISTANCE AWAY (2.0 miles) from the Capitol where violence was already occurring, before United States President Donald J. Trump spoke the words to go to the Capitol "Peacefully and Patriotically".

A COUP where United States President, Donald J. Trump announced publicly and loudly "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard today."

A COUP where EVERYONE in CHARGE of the Safety and Security of our Capitol HAD THE Intelligence that something was brewing, something they should prepare for. :facepalm:

A COUP where United States President Donald J. Trump authorized IN ADVANCE up to 20,000 National Guard Troops to protect the Capitol.

The FBI concluded in their investigation that there was no conspiracy with United States President Donald J. Trump and the rioters, he had no part in, or his administration.

Even that dude, your Hero Rachel Maddow, is on the other side of your argument!

Bricks, Molotov Cocktails, Explosives and Guns (firearms).

Decades of you, the Left, tearing down this Great Nation, its Founding Fathers, our Founding Documents, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights...sometimes violently, to include murders...

The traitor Donald Jesus Trump, better known as the Orange Vomit, is a gawddamned traitor wanna be dictator.

There is absolutely no comparison between the summer race riots & the Christian Fascist republican insurrection on 1/6/21.

The dastardly Orange Vomit started vomiting up his big election lies a full year, before the election.

On the other hand,, neither Obama nor Biden ever tried to order the rioters to riot. So that means that the trumpys are shit outta luck with their sorry attempt at whataboutism.

Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters

It’s a common refrain from some of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year’s protests over racial injustice were given leniency.

Court records tell a different story.

An Associated Press review of court documents in more than 300 federal cases stemming from the protests sparked by George Floyd’s death last year shows that dozens of people charged have been convicted of serious crimes and sent to prison.

~ Fox sewer has them believing that they're just soooo persecuted. No matter the subject, "it's not fair."

I wish to point out the T****coup, was us not the violent Patriots following Trump's orders for weeks before J6, although they did temporarily that night stop the certification of the electoral votes on T****'s direct orders; that was Plan B, there was a Plan C too. The coup was to subvert the Constitution by swapping their electoral votes thus negating the election. As Liz pointed out it's one of the few criminal charges in the Constitution.

Milley accept them as firm, legal and decisive orders that he followed out. He could not, would not send National Guard until the commander and chief ordered so, standing orders.

More than 20 million people tuned into Thursday night’s prime-time January 6 committee hearing, according to Nielsen data, in which numerous details about the riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 election were made public for the first time.

According to The Hill, ABC’s broadcast drew the biggest audience, with 4.8 million viewers, followed by NBC with 3.5 million and CBS with 3.3 million.

On cable news networks, MSNBC’s broadcast reportedly reached 4.1 million viewers, while CNN drew 2.6 million.

Fox News still reportedly drew around 3 million viewers during the 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT slot during which the hearing took place.

Fox did not broadcast the hearing in all markets, while Fox News did not show testimony—the news channel instead ran its normal nightly lineup of shows hosted by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, who have sharply criticized the committee’s investigation.

The second public J6 committee hearing nailed the coffin shut. Trump knew from day one he was lying about election fraud. baseless claims. A lying liar.

Top officials within the Trump administration, including former Vice President Mike Pence and White House lawyers, were aware there was no evidence to support Trump's claims of voter fraud, according to testimony from Alex Cannon, a lawyer with the Trump campaign.

In a taped deposition, Cannon recalled speaking in mid-November 2020 with Peter Navarro, then a White House adviser, about claims Dominion's voting machines were changing votes and other allegations of voter fraud.
"I remember telling him that I didn't believe the Dominion allegations because I thought the hand recount in Georgia would resolve any issues with the technology problem and with Dominion, or Dominion flipping votes," Cannon said, adding that he mentioned a statement from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and then-Director Chris Krebs that declared the 2020 election secure. 
Navarro, Cannon recalled, "accused me of being an agent of the Deep State working with Chris Krebs against the president."

Cannon said he also had a brief conversation with Pence in November about voter fraud claims, during which he told the vice president he was not finding evidence of widespread fraud to alter the results of the election.

Derek Lyons, who served as White House staff secretary, also told the committee that allegations of fraud were discussed in a meeting more than a month after the election, during which White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Herschmann told Trump none of his claims had been "substantiated to the point where they could be the basis for any litigation challenge to the election." 

"President Trump's own vice president and his top advisers also knew that there wasn't evidence to support the claims that the president was making," Lofgren said.

"There was never, there was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were," William Barr said in his recorded testimony. "And my opinion then and my opinion now is that the election was not stolen by fraud." 

In addition The committee proved President T*****'s email "Election Defense Fund" was a fraud, a "grift", millions of dollars grift. No surprise, But we all knew his whole presidency was a grift. His whole life.


Highlights:
1. It was "Team Normal" vs. Trump
2. Trump didn't listen to the professionals and instead became "detached from reality."
3. Coming from so many Republicans testifying, it's much harder for them to simply be dismissed.
4. The committee began to lay out a fleecing of MAGA

Seems to me Donald Trump had expected to win the presidency whether he won or lost eithier the popular vote or the Electoral College.

He expected it.

Almost as if he lost the election in 2016 and still got the presidency and expected the same thing to happen again.

United States Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed on Monday that he and the Department of Justice are paying extremely close attention to the six public hearings hosted by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Garland's remarks come as scores of legal experts express concern and frustration at his apparent reluctance to indict former President Donald Trump for orchestrating a multi-front criminal scheme to remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

Inside the explosive Oval Office confrontation three days before Jan. 6

Clark’s letter and his Oval Office meeting set off one of the tensest chapters during Trump’s effort to overturn the election, which culminated three days later with rioters storming the U.S. Capitol. His plan could have decapitated the Justice Department leadership and could have overturned the election.

Clark’s actions have been the focus of a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation and an ongoing probe by the Justice Department’s inspector general, and now are expected to be closely examined during June hearings by the House committee investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.

Clark then met with Trump in the Oval Office, according to the Senate report. When Rosen found out Clark had talked privately with Trump, he was livid, telling Clark in a Dec. 26 phone call that, “You didn’t tell me about it in advance. You didn’t get authorization. You didn’t tell me about it after the fact. This can’t happen,” according to Rosen’s interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Rosen told Trump that the Justice Department could not “flip a switch and change the election,” according to notes of the conversation cited by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I don’t expect you to do that,” Trump responded, according to the notes. “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.” The president urged Rosen to “just have a press conference.”

Rosen refused. “We don’t see that,” he told Trump. “We’re not going to have a press conference.”

The 22 wildest lines from Donald Trump’s 12(!)-page statement on the January 6 committee :loony:
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

CNN —

In response to the second public hearing of the January 6 committee, former President Donald Trump released a 12-page statement – yes, 12 full pages! – seeking to rebut the charges leveled against him.

It’s filled with the usual name-calling, exaggerations and conspiracy theories that have dominated Trump’s post-2020 election life. But it’s also a window into the former President’s psyche as the January 6 committee weighs whether to recommend a criminal indictment of Trump to the Department of Justice.

1. “If they had any real evidence, they’d hold real hearings with equal representation.”

Remember that the reason there isn’t an independent commission – like the one that investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks – is because Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell killed it after it had passed the House with 35 GOP votes. And away we go!

2. “They use the illegally-constituted committee to put on a smoke and mirrors show for the American people, in a pitiful last-ditch effort to deceive the American public … again.”

It’s not at all clear to me what Trump thinks is illegal about the January 6 committee. It is a select committee established by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Not unlike the Benghazi select committee established by then-House Speaker John Boehner.

3. “They have refused to allow their political opponents to participate in this process, and have excluded all exculpatory witnesses, and anyone who so easily points out the flaws in their story.”

Again, this is not quite accurate. First off, the reason the committee has two Republicans and nine Democrats is because a) McConnell nixed the idea of an independent commission and b) House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy pulled all five of his picks for the committee when Pelosi rejected the appointments of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Second, plenty of strongly pro-Trump witnesses have been subpoenaed by the committee. In fact, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, two close Trump confidants, have refused to comply with subpoenas to testify before the committee.

4. “The Unselect Pseudo-Committee has coordinated with their media puppets to broadcast their witnesses on national television without any opposition, cross-examination, or rebuttal evidence.”

I hate to sound like a broken record here, but the committee took more than 1,000 depositions from all sorts of witnesses – including Bill Stepien, who managed Trump’s 2020 campaign, and Bill Barr, who served as Trump’s attorney general. Those aren’t exactly portraits of Trump haters. Plus, the committee tried to talk to people like Bannon and Navarro.


5. “What are the members of this treasonous ‘Committee’ afraid of?”

This is coming from someone who refused to accept the results of a free and fair election and incited people to protest the results because of a series of easily debunked conspiracy theories.

6. “Democrats created the narrative of January 6th to detract from the much larger and more important truth that the 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen.”

Uh, what. So, several people died as a result of the riots on January 6. More than 100 police officers were injured. Over 800 people have been criminally charged for their roles in the insurrection that day. That’s less important that a set of lies about supposed election fraud?

7. “They illegally inflated voter rolls, illegally allowed harvested and stuffed ballots, abused the use of mail-in ballots, physically removed Republicans from counting facilities, abused the elderly in nursing homes, bribed election officials with donations, stopped counting on Election Night, gave Democrats three extra days to harvest ballots, and demanded that the American people believe it was legitimate.”

Wow. That’s, um a lot. There has been absolutely no evidence that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

8. “The truth is that Americans showed up in Washington, D.C. in massive numbers (but seldom revealed by the press), on January 6th, 2021, to hold their elected officials accountable for the obvious signs of criminal activity throughout the Election.”

Crowd size has long been a Trump hobbyhorse. But there’s just no evidence that the press purposely low-balled the crowd on January 6. Also, that is totally beside the point. Which is this: A mob of rioters stormed the US Capitol fueled by an election lie pushed by Trump that he had somehow been cheated out of victory.

9. “This is all a ridiculous and treasonous attempt to cover up the fact that Democrats rigged the Election and are siphoning Americans’ freedoms and power for their own benefit.”

What, exactly, is treasonous about the January 6 committee? Trump – surprise, surprise – doesn’t explain.

10. “On Election Night, America watched as my lead grew and grew over Joe Biden, as I was set to claim another victory.”

Simply not true. We knew well in advance of Election Day that, in large part because of new rules in place to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of mail-in ballots would be far higher than in past elections. And we knew that it would take some time to properly process all of them. Here’s what Stepien, Trump’s campaign manager, suggested he say on election night: “My recommendation was to say that ‘votes were still being counted, it’s too early to tell, too early to call the race but we’re proud of the race we ran and we think we’re in good position.’” Trump didn’t take that advice.

11. “The Swamp was so determined to keep their stranglehold on power that they delayed the results of the Election so that they could find, manufacture, or produce more ballots, after they knew how many they needed to beat me.”

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” Barr said on December 1, 2020.

12. “There’s no reasonable explanation for why it took so much longer to count the few remaining ballots as opposed to the millions on Election Day – other than they needed to traffic more ballots, and it took four days to produce the ballots and do it.”

Aside from simply claiming it to be so, Trump offers no evidence for his claim that there were “few remaining ballots” left to be counted after Election Day. The reason he doesn’t offer any proof for this claim is that none exists.

13. “Like drug mules, in this context, mules are those paid to illegally traffic ballots from nonprofits organizations and drop them into the ballot drop boxes.”

It’s well worth watching – or reading – Barr’s complete takedown from Monday’s hearing of the film “2,000 Mules” which is where Trump gets this bogus information. Here’s the gist of it in one Barr quote: “If you take 2 million cell phones and figure out where they are physically in a big city like Atlanta or wherever, just by definition, you will find many hundreds of them have passed by and spent time in the vicinity of these boxes.”

14. “The truth is, according to Joe Biden, that the Swamp has created the ‘most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics – and it centers around ballot trafficking.’”

As Reuters noted of the Biden quote cited by Trump here: “It was a slip of the tongue - Biden was describing the voter protection program his campaign has launched in anticipation of potential legal fights over the outcome of the Nov. 3 election against President Donald Trump.”

15. “It’s also highly likely that True the Vote did not uncover 100% of the mules, making the numbers much larger than a landslide in scope, and that there were many more mules out there affecting more of the Election than we realize. This was not a close Election.”

Joe Biden won more than 81 million votes to Trump’s 74 million. So no, by recent measures it wasn’t a particularly close election. But I don’t think that’s what Trump means.

16. “Joe Biden, a candidate who never left his basement and can’t speak without a teleprompter, outperformed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in their two high-charged elections.”

In terms of raw vote totals, that’s true. Biden’s 81 million votes is more than either Clinton or Obama received. But, in both 2008 (365) and 2012 (332), Obama received more electoral votes than Biden.

17. “Either there’s a lot of black voters in America who identify more with Joe Biden than Barack Obama, or Democrats are stealing black votes – and we all know the answer to that.”

Before this line, Trump cites a handful of majority-Black counties and areas where Biden did better in 2020 than Obama did in 2008 or 2012. That fact is proof positive of fraud, according to Trump. Of course, it’s not. First of all, the population, in the Black community and elsewhere, grew between 2008 and 2020, meaning that there were just more voters to be had for Biden than for Obama. Also, and I am just spitballing here, isn’t it possible that the desire to vote Trump out of office was a powerful motivator for lots and lots of Black voters?

18. “Mark Zuckerberg contributed $419 million dollars to election initiatives around the country.”

Trump is suggesting here that Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, spent hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure that Democrats won the 2020 election. The only thing he gets right though is the amount of money Zuckerberg spent. Trump would do well to read this Protocol piece headlined “How ‘Zuck Bucks’ saved the 2020 election — and fueled the Big Lie.”

19. “Zuckerberg should be criminally prosecuted. Election laws prevent individuals from donating more than $5,000 per year, yet Zuckerberg gave $419 million.”

Again, Trump is simply wrong about what Zuckerberg did in the 2020 election. As Protocol notes: “He offered grants to any election official who wanted one, so long as they spent it on what a lot of people would consider mundane essentials that make it easier and safer for everyone to vote: ballot sorters, drop boxes, poll workers and — because it was 2020 — hand sanitizer.”

18. “Rumors circulated that the Justices devolved to shouting and argued intensely over how to handle the Texas v. Pennsylvania case. Ultimately, the Justices yielded to the same fear mongering tactics Democrats had deployed for years. They punted and threw the case out on standing.”

As CNN reported of the election fraud case brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: “The court’s order, issued with no public dissents, to dismiss the challenge is the strongest indication yet that Trump has no chance of overturning election results in court, and that even the justices whom he placed there have no interest in allowing his desperate legal bids to continue.” No public dissents. So, yeah.

19. “But, the Swamp runs deep. I guess that turning around an election was a step too far.”

Yes, I would say overturning an election was a “step too far.”

20. “Americans are struggling to fill their gas tanks, feed their babies, educate their children, hire employees, order supplies, protect our border from invasion, and a host of other tragedies that are 100% caused by Democrats who obtained power through a rigged election, and the people of our country are both angry and sad.”

This sentence is 53 words long. Yup.

21. “Nobody brings this up, but as President, I suffered years of vicious lies, scandals, and innuendo concerning a fake and contrived narrative of Russia, Russia, Russia.”

Allow me to quote from the Mueller Report: “(I)f we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” reads the Mueller report. “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. … Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

22. “This is merely an attempt to stop a man that is leading in every poll, against both Republicans and Democrats by wide margins, from running again for the Presidency.”

So, is Trump saying he is running for president again in 2024? Big news! Yeah, this feels like a good place to end.

THIS is when Peter Navarro publicly admitted , bragged on TV the coup attempt. Negating a free election. Whoops! realized and then stop compling with the January 6th committee. Blatant GOP fascism it's so prevalent they forgot not to say it out loud.


'Do you realize you are describing a coup?' MSNBC's Ari Melber grills Peter Navarro on Trump's Jan. 6 plan.
JANUARY 4, 202
Peter Navarro, a top White House economic adviser to former President Donald Trump, explained to MSNBC's Ari Melber on Tuesday night that Trump wouldn't have wanted his supporters to besiege the Capitol last Jan. 6 because the violence messed up their plan, concocted with Steve Bannon, to overturn President Biden's 2020 victory. 
"This plan we had, called the 'Green Bay Sweep,' clearly between constitutional and legal lines, [was] to basically have only legal votes counted in the election," Navarro said. Melber invited Navarro to "go ahead and tell us, in your own words, what was the plan, and who was in on it besides you, Bannon, and Trump?" And he did.

With help from more than 100 congressmen and senators, "we were going to challenge the results of the election in six battleground states" Biden won where "we believed that if the votes were sent back to those battleground states and looked at again, that there would be enough concern amongst the legislatures that most or all of those states would decertify the election," Navarro said. "That would throw the election to the House of Representatives." All this plan required "was peace and calm on Capitol Hill," he said, adding that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) "started the Green Bay Sweep beautifully" at 1 p.m.

"You just described this plan as a way to take an election where the outcome was established" and "legal remedies had been exhausted" all the way to the Supreme Court, Melber recapped. "Then you will use the incumbent losing party's power — that was the Republican Party that was losing power — to overtake and reverse that outcome. Do you realize you are describing a coup?" Navarro didn't accept the premise, arguing, for instance, that the elected secretaries of state in Michigan and Pennsylvania "were put in power by George Soros." 
"Your presumption is the remedies were exhausted; my presumption is the remedies weren't exhausted at all," Navarro said. "The remedy was for Vice President Pence, as the quarterback in the Green Bay Sweep, to remand those votes back to the six battleground states." He blamed "Mike's betrayal of President Trump" largely on Pence's "Never Trump" chief of staff, Marc Short. Melber had a different takeaway. "We have an entire system designed to thwart — and I want to say this respectfully, but it's the truth — people like you," he said. "People like you are what the Constitution are designed to stop, and it worked

coup plotting politicians are still in office and theyre numbers are growing
here is one example, a guy who holds his press conferences at the company headquarters of the company that bankrolls him


The heavy support shocked both longtime customers and veteran political observers, neither of whom had realized the potato-roll empire had propped up Mastriano, who had been little known outside of his district before the pandemic. Over the past two years, Mastriano has won a die-hard base by casting his opposition to lockdown mandates as a holy battle, a framing he also used to claim the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. After the election, Mastriano organized buses for, and attended, the rally that precipitated the attack on the Capitol. As governor, he has said he “could decertify every machine in the state with a stroke of a pen” because he would appoint the secretary of state overseeing the electoral system, raising the possibility he could enact a one-man coup in 2024. (A spokesperson for Mastriano did not respond to requests for comment.)

I don't know, I like to see seditionists charged for their crimes. Regardless of any change that might or might not be in the air at any given moment...and apparently I have a different perspective on all of this so called fascism...I share this pastor's alarmism.

https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/06/05/im ... d-in-2022/

I’m a Christian Pastor. Evangelicals Have to Be Defeated in 2022.
If the 2022 midterms elections allow Republicans to gain control of Congress, Conservative Christians will decimate this nation, and LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, people of color, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again. We will all be at their mercy—and they will no longer have use for mercy.

This is not alarmist, sky-is-falling histrionics, it is the clear and sober forecast from someone who knows these people better than anyone. Over the last decade and a half, as my theology shifted and my beliefs grew more and more progressive, I’ve been a kind of undercover Liberal in an increasingly extremist movement, that while once relegated to minor fringe noisemakers is now at the precipice of Roman Empire-level power. They are less than two years away from having a dominance that they will wield violently and not relinquish. I watched it all unfold from the inside
Maybe this is a bit hyperbole, but it's definitely not entirely so.
Yet, they were still a largely powerless, dying dinosaur until 2016, when Donald Trump acquired the presidency and gave the Evangelicals the perfect amoral partner to serve as the biggest bully pulpit they’ve ever had. Combine that with a fragmented Left, a general fatigue by the larger population, a ceremonial victory in Congress (thanks to Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema), and Republican attacks on voters’ rights— and we are now a hair’s breadth from the subjugation of diverse humanity here.
He nails it for me. Im going by what I know of rightwing immediate family & fb friends. Everything is relative. If we can narrowly blame it all on the 2015 Democrat shenanigans, then we can blame it on any other big event likewise. I'll take 911 & the aftermath invasion for my blame moment.

Everything changes. Look at the legalization effort for the past decade ffs!

More old revelations. Gettin a little ahead of the committee's Presentation.

Mike Pence " I'm not getting in that car"

Pence was not alone in questioning, others members in safe rooms texted warnings, paraphrasing "If we leave this building we're never coming back. I know how coups work"

After the mob breached the building on Jan. 6, the Secret Service hustled Mike Pence out. They wanted to take him away from the Capitol, but he refused to go. Why didn’t he want to go?

Because it meant stopping the electoral-vote certification, sow doubt, shut down the legislative branch, remove them physically. Trump did plan to call the National Guard but when it was to save Congress from a now entrenched mob. Not to remove the patriots. A short step to declaring national emergency, prehaps martial law. Don't forget there were still two unexploded pipe bombs by the parties' headquarters that day.

25th Amendment. Call guard now. Not later.
After the mob left many Weary Congressional voices were ready to call it a day when Mitch McConnell demanded that no one goes home until the certification is complete. Mitch damn well knows how silent coups work.

The voter suppression bills passed by GOP-controlled state legislatures all over the U.S. are being slammed by Democrats for making voting more difficult by reducing or eliminating early voting or discouraging the use of mail-in ballots. But as bad as those things are, something much more sinister and nakedly authoritarian is coming from MAGA Republicans in 2022: an effort to take control of the administration of elections, making it easier for them to simply throw out election results if they don’t like the outcome. And if the results of the 2022 midterms put enough “Stop the Steal” Republicans in control of elections, they may have a chance to do exactly that in 2024.

Justice Is Blind. And So Is Merrick Garland
The DOJ's long fall from grace.



Punch for punch, the debasement of Attorney General Merrick Garland is without historical correlate. The self-defeating adherence to ideological centrism (often indistinguishable from passivity in the face of elite resistance), paired with his masochistic devotion to the status quo, represents the kind of Blue Dog/New Dem totem that could have only emerged from a lab. Corporatist Democrats believed during the Obama years, as they do now, that through the ritual sacrifice of their Democratic ideals, they could resurrect the corpse of a forgotten age when left and right joined hands to strangle the everyday citizen. That union never happened after the GOP realized they could simply steamroll Democrats like Garland who refuse to open their eyes to the Conservative onslaught, even when it was punching them in the face.

If Garland's stain on DOJ wasn't bad enough, Biden's failure to man the DOJ's barracks with U.S. attorneys has further deflated the already anemic law enforcement agency.
The consolation prize Garland received after a thorough curb stomping by Mitch McConnell on the steps of the Supreme Court is his chair in the DOJ's highest office. Perched above the statue of lady justice, Garland seems to have taken inspiration from her shrouded visage and affixed his own blindfold to blot out the clown car of cartoon villains unloading into congressional hearings to stand trial for their respective roles in the attempted insurrection.

Tens of millions of Americans will tune in to the ongoing January 6 hearings in an attempt to reconcile the desecration of their Capitol with America's wilted top cop Garland cowering in the corner. In the shadow of the hulking figure Bill Barr once cut, a shaken tit mouse has taken up residence, beset on all sides by crumbling institutions and sinister schemes: Donald Trump plotting a comeback, unchecked Wall Street profiteers, and a host of corporate criminal enterprises seizing on a cowed Attorney General.

Similarly pathetic is the talk of secret progress being made to hold accountable the orchestrators of the attempted coup; a story identical to the prosecutions of Wall Street fraudsters under Obama. With the statute of limitations already passing on multiple Trump crimes and some Trump lackeys being allowed to evade Congressional subpoenas, better to call out the likelihood of failure when pressure can still alter its course than to wait for certainty of failure. This is especially the case since both the height of the midterm elections and Trump's likely entrance into the presidential race immediately thereafter will only exacerbate the downsides of Garland's plodding course thus far.

If Garland's stain on DOJ wasn't bad enough, Biden's failure to man the DOJ's barracks with U.S. attorneys has further deflated the already anemic law enforcement agency. As RDP's Toni Rosenthal wrote this week, "This month President Biden nominated five additional people to helm the 93 districts of the Office of the United States Attorney. These five nominees brought Biden's total nominations for the office up to just 53 out of 92 nominees for the office, or a little more than half. Now, nearly a year and a half into Biden's presidency, the fact that almost half of these positions are still left without a nominee is a glaring indictment of Biden's failure to prioritize these critically important positions."

For the few and far between enforces who have spine enough to pursue the giant corporations robbing Americans blind, Garland has effectively neutered them, at least for the time being. As Andrea Beaty, my colleague here at the Revolving Door Project (RDP), wrote this week:

The Department of Justice's recent decision to bar Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, Jonathan Kanter, from working on investigations into tech giant Google while the Department weighs whether to force his recusal outright reflects an undeniable double standard in light of the widespread conflicts of interest at the DOJ. Kanter's mistreatment further demonstrates the Justice Department's overwhelming commitment to protecting the interests of big business.

Kanter's critics within the DOJ charge that his previous work in the private sector presents a conflict of interest when it comes to cases involving Google. In doing so, they and their allies in Silicon Valley not only mischaracterize the nature of Mr. Kanter's work, but are also establishing an 'ethical' precedent that many current DOJ officials do not come close to meeting.

Governance

The DOJ is not the only oversight agency wielding vast powers to crack down on bad actors that continues to flail under the Biden administration. The Food and Drug Administration has deflated under a decades-long decline, culminating in the fatal, tragic, and politically disastrous baby formula shortage that has wreaked havoc across the country.

As RDP's Toni Aguilar Rosenthal and Mekedas Belayneh wrote this week, "Government negligence has resulted in a hollowed-out FDA failing to prevent the deadly food outbreaks that kill 3,000 people a year. To put this number in perspective, the FDA's failure to protect the food we eat kills the same number of people as died in 9/11, every single year. The public deserves better. People across the country should be able to go to the grocery store and buy food that they know is safe, not that they simply hope to be. FSMA provided a blueprint for greater food safety enforcement and oversight at the FDA, but the underfunded, disorganized, apathetic agency never fulfilled the goals of the legislation. Will it take another crisis for the government to take its approach to food safety seriously?"

Tech

Meanwhile, the very titans of digital industry that an invigorated DOJ should be cracking down on are buoyed and supported by none other than Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo as she seeks to position herself for a new job as Treasury Secretary. Instead of advocating for American workers and the companies that pay living wages to produce American products, Raimondo has used her position to advocate for the very tech companies that have weaponized social media platforms into political instruments and destabilized entire countries. Writing in The American Prospect on Tuesday, RDP's Mekedas Belayneh noted:

"The Department of Commerce is currently conducting digital trade talks with nations from the Indo-Pacific and Europe, with negotiations led by its secretary, Gina Raimondo. Through her role as lead negotiator in President Biden's newly established Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) and one-year-old U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC), Raimondo is poised to influence global trade policies.

[...]

Last December, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) attacked Secretary Raimondo for "lobbying on behalf of Big Tech companies overseas," and it's easy to see why. Deemed "tech's favorite Biden official," by Axios for defending American tech companies from European regulators, Raimondo's sympathy with Big Tech's agenda has become even more obvious in these high-stakes negotiations."

With so much stake and time running out, the administration's failures at the DOJ, the FDA, and the Commerce Department can no longer be tolerated. It's time for Merrick Garland to see the light, before November's darkness swallows us whole.

January 6th Hearings

'He knew it was illegal, he knew it was wrong:' Jan. 6 panel highlights pressure on Pence to overturn election
Former aides to Donald Trump and Mike Pence made it clear they did not agree with attorney John Eastman’s assertion that former Vice President Mike Pence had the power to unilaterally declare Trump had won the 2020 presidential election.
The panel played a video montage of earlier testimony from Trump and Pence advisers who either said they believed there was no basis to Eastman’s theory or said others in the administration vehemently disagreed with the lawyer.

Herschmann said Eastman tried to explain to him what he believed was ambiguity in the laws. 
Herschmann said he told Eastman: “You're saying that you believe the vice president, acting as president of the Senate, can be the sole decision maker as to, under your theory, who becomes the next president United States?”
“And he said yes,” Herschmann continued. “I said, ‘Are you out of your effing mind?’
“I said, ‘You're completely crazy.’ I said, ‘You're going to turn around and tell 78-plus million people in this country that your theory is this is how you're going to invalidate their votes because you think the election was stolen.’ I said, ‘They're not going to tolerate that. You're going to cause riots in the streets.’
“And he said words to the effect of, there's been violence in the history of our country to protect the democracy or to protect the republic,” Herschmann added.
Marc Short, who served as Pence’s chief of staff, said it was communicated to him that White House counsel Pat Cipollone believed Eastman’s interpretation was “nutty.”
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump’s reelection campaign, said fellow campaign officials Justin Clark and Matt Morgan thought Eastman’s “theory was crazy, that there was no validity to in any way, shape or form.”
Trump and Eastman went and tried it anyway. Pressuring and ordering Pence to negate a fair election.

Trump released false statement saying Mike Pence was on board in overturning the election.
A lie, The VP rejected it 100%. On many occasions and face-to-face with Trump.

Eastman immediately after January 6th failed coup, asked for a Presidential pardon. He did bad.

Panel says riot escalated after Trump’s Pence tweet.

Highlights From Jan. 6 Committee Hearing On Pressure Campaign Against Pence

January 6th Hearings

Bits and pieces.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the Jan. 6 Committee, on CNN: "New evidence is breaking every single day now. Suddenly a lot of people want to tell the truth."


Retired federal judge Michael Luttig: “Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy” not because of what happened on January 6 but because they may attempt to overturn the 2024 presidential election.
Just a reminder that Judge Luttig isn't just a conservative judge, he is Ted Cruz's mentor, whom Cruz referred to as being "like a father to me." John Eastman also clerked for him. He is currently testifying to the unprecedented "Constitutional crisis" caused by his mentees.

"Tim, I know you and trust you but you're not the one behind the wheel."--VP Pence to his Secret Service detail after evacuating his office, refuses to get into his car.

On CNN this morning, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a member of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, said: “New evidence is breaking every single day now. Suddenly, a lot of people want to tell the truth.”

After the committee’s third public hearing today, we can see why. The window for getting onto the good side of the investigation by cooperating with it is closing, and the story the congress members are laying out makes it clear that those sticking with Trump are quite likely in legal trouble.

It appears that the former president thinks the same thing. Before today’s hearing, he wrote: “I DEMAND EQUAL TIME!!!”

But it seems unlikely Trump wants to tell his version of what happened around January 6 under oath, and if he were misled by his advisors, who can doubt that he would already have thrown them under the bus?

And, so far, the committee has used testimony and evidence only from those high up in Trump’s own administration. Today was no exception. The committee covered the former president’s pressure campaign against his vice president, Mike Pence, to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Instead of following the law, codified in the 1887 Electoral Count Act, Trump wanted Pence to use his role as the person charged with opening electoral votes to throw out the votes that gave Democrat Joe Biden victory, or at least to recess the joint session of Congress for ten days to send the electoral slates back to the states, where pro-Trump legislatures could throw out the decision of the voters and resubmit slates for Trump.

In interviews with Pence’s former counsel Greg Jacob, as well as retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, formerly of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the committee established that this plan, advanced by lawyer John Eastman, was illegal. Indeed, Eastman himself called it illegal, first at length in October 2020, and then in both written and verbal admissions after the election. And the committee established that Eastman, as well as others, told Trump the plan was illegal.

The hearings today hammered home that the centerpiece of our government is that the people have the right to choose their leaders. That concept is central to the rule of law. And yet, Trump embraced an illegal and unconstitutional theory that, instead, the vice president—one man—could overrule the will of the people and choose the president himself. Such a theory is utterly contrary to everything the Framers of the Constitution stood for and wrote into our fundamental law.

And yet, by early December 2020, after their legal challenges to the election had all failed, Trump’s people began to say that Pence could throw out the electoral slates that states had certified for Biden, or could send those certified electoral slates back to the states for reconsideration so that Republican-dominated legislatures could then submit new slates for Trump. Judge Luttig hammered home that there is nothing in either legal precedent or historical precedent that gave any validation to the idea that one man could determine the outcome of the election.

Still, on December 13, the day before the Electoral College met, lawyer Kenneth Chesebro wrote to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani arguing that Pence could refuse to count the votes from states that had “alternative” electors (we also know that he wrote about this idea for the first time on November 18, so that might have been the chatter Pence was hearing). At the time, the scheme to create second slates of electors was underway.

Eastman then took up the cause, saying that seven states had submitted “dual” slates of electors. When Jacob dismissed that claim, Eastman just said that Pence could just call them disputed anyway and throw the votes from those states out. Luttig reiterated that these fake electors had no legal authority whatsoever and that there is no historical or legal precedent at all to support the idea that the vice president could count alternative electoral slates to the ones certified by the states.

Both Pence’s counsel Jacobs and his chief of staff Marc Short believed that Eastman’s plan was bananas, and an avalanche of White House advisors agreed. According to today’s testimony, those agreeing included Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Trump lawyer Eric Herschmann, and Trump advisor Jason Miller, who testified that people thought “Eastman was crazy.” Herschmann testified that even Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani agreed on the morning of January 6 that Eastman’s argument wouldn’t stand up in court.

Nonetheless, Giuliani went out in front of the crowd at the Ellipse on January 6, insisted that the theory was correct, and lied that even Thomas Jefferson himself had used it.

Meanwhile, beginning in December, Trump had been pressuring Pence to go along with the scheme. Pence had refused, but Trump kept piling on the pressure. At rallies in early January, he kept hammering on the idea that Pence could deliver the election to Trump, and in meetings on January 4 and 5, he kept demanding that Pence overturn the election. When Pence continued to refuse, Trump appeared to try to lock him in by tweeting on January 5 that he and Pence were “in total agreement” that Pence could act to change the outcome of the election.

By then, Short was so worried about what Trump might do on January 6 that he told the Secret Service he was concerned about Pence’s safety.

On January 6, Trump called Pence on the phone and, according to witnesses, called him a “wimp” and a “p*ssy.” Pence then issued a statement saying it was his “considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.” Trump then went before the crowd at the Ellipse and added to his prepared speech sections attacking Pence.

After Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows told him that violence had broken out at the Capitol, Trump tweeted that “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what needed to be done,” and violence ratcheted up. The committee showed rioters claiming they were there because Pence had let them down. “Pence betrayed us…the president mentioned it like 5 times when he talked,” one said. That 2:24 tweet was “pouring gasoline on the fire,” one White House press member told the committee. At 2:26, Pence and his family were evacuated to a secure location, where he would stay for more than four hours. The rioters missed the vice president by about 40 feet. A Proud Boy told the committee that if they had found Pence, they would have killed him.

Even after the crisis ended, Eastman continued to write to Pence’s people asking him to send the electoral slates back to the states. Herschmann advised him to “get a great effing criminal defense lawyer. You’re going to need it.” Eastman then put in writing that he wanted a presidential pardon: “I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list,” he wrote. When he did not get a pardon, he took the Fifth Amendment before the committee, asserting his right against self-incrimination more than 100 times.

There were lots of places where Pence and his team were no heroes. They could have warned any number of people about what Trump was up to long before January 6, and Pence’s apparently noble stance was undoubtedly informed by a realization that if Pence did as Trump asked and it went wrong—even Eastman acknowledged the scheme was illegal—Pence would be the one holding the bag.

But the committee left all that unsaid. Instead, it went out of its way to make a very clear distinction between Trump, who was out for himself and damn the country, and Pence, who risked his own safety to follow the law. Indeed, that theme was so clear it appeared to have been carefully scripted. Today’s testimony highlighted the principles of Jacob and Short and their boss, Mike Pence. It even took a deliberate detour to let both Jacob and Short talk about how their Christian faith helped them to stand against Trump and do what was right, an aside that seemed designed to appeal to the evangelicals supporting Trump. And it highlighted how Pence continued to do the work of governing even while he was in the secure location, which looked much like a loading dock according to new photos shown today.

The committee seems to be presenting a clear choice to Republicans: stand with Trump, a man without honor who is quite possibly looking at criminal indictments and who is trying to destroy our democracy, or stand with Pence, who embraces the same economic and social ideology that Republicans claim to, without wanting to destroy our democracy.

The appearance of Judge Luttig today was in keeping with this theme. Luttig is such a giant in conservative legal circles that he was talked of for the Supreme Court in place of Samuel Alito, and his words bear extraordinary weight. Luttig hammered home that Trump’s scheme was an attempt to overturn the rule of law and to destroy our democracy. And, he warned, the danger is not over. Trump and his supporters remain “a clear and present danger to American democracy.”

Luttig’s testimony was powerful, but even more extraordinary was a statement he released before today’s hearing. Luttig, for whom both Eastman and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) clerked, warned that “January 6 was…a war for America’s democracy, a war irresponsibly instigated and prosecuted by the former president, his political party allies, and his supporters.”

That is, Luttig laid the responsibility for today’s national crisis at the door of the Trump wing of the Republican Party. He went on to warn that only it could reject the attempt of the president and his supporters to undermine the faith in our elections that underpins our democracy: “[O]nly the party that instigated this war over our democracy can bring an end to that war…. These senseless wars…were conceived and instigated from our Nation’s Capital by our own political leaders…and they have been cynically prosecuted by them to fever pitch, now to the point that they have recklessly put America herself at stake.”

Luttig urged Americans to remember that the fate of our democracy is in our hands and to reject the fever dreams of the Trump Republicans in favor of “a new vision, new truths, new values, new principles, new beliefs, new hopes and dreams that hopefully could once again bind our divided nation together into the more perfect union that ‘We the People’ originally ordained and established it to be.”

“The time has come,” Luttig wrote, “for us to decide whether we allow this war over our democracy to be prosecuted to its catastrophic end or whether we ourselves demand the immediate suspension of this war and insist on peace instead. We must make this decision because our political leaders are unwilling and unable, even as they recklessly prosecute this war in our name.”

Chair Bennie Thompson closed today’s hearing by asking anyone who might be on the fence about cooperating with the committee’s investigation, please to reach out.

Full Phone Call: T**** Pressures Georgia Secretary of State To Recount Election Votes.
During an hourlong phone call, President Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the 2020 election results. T**** said, “I just want to find 11,780 votes"


@19:00
Trump: "There is nothing wrong saying that you have recalculated"
Brad Raffensberger: "The challenge you have, Mister president, is the data you have is wrong."

A lengthy hour of T**** begging, cajoling, rationlazing and then threatening to have Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger illeaglly negate the Georgia election.

The conversation went from
1) Story telling to Brad
2) Mocking at Brad
3) Threaten Brad
4) Insulting Brad

When the multiple attempts to get various states to change their citizens' votes had failed, T**** went with the just create fake electoral votes and have Pence count them.

Live coverage of January 6 committee day 4.


But first,
Who is Ruby Freeman?
A former Georgia election worker whose life was turned upside down by Donald Trump’s bogus claims of election fraud at State Farm Arena will testify to congressional investigators Tuesday.

Trump accused Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, of rigging the November 2020 election for Joe Biden with “suitcases” of ballots on election night. The pair were featured in a video that Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani called a “smoking gun” for voting fraud at the arena.

It was not a smoking gun. State and federal investigators reviewed the video, interviewed election workers and determined they did nothing improper. But Moss faced death threats and racist taunts, which forced her into hiding.

What I like about the Committees' work is the public hearings are not the end. The investigations are on going. Crimes and malfeasance are still being committed and investigated. Even today during committee public testimonies.

Their stance is that the sins committed during Trump's reign are still ongoing. With T***** himself, Gerrymandering, Supreme Court conflict of Interest, Eric Greitens, Couy Griffin and MAGA canidates still promoting the big lie.

A new online resource documents the religious components of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol.

Uncivil Religion: January 6, 2021 is a collaboration of the University of Alabama’s Department of Religious Studies and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

“Religious symbols, rituals, identities, banners, signs and sounds suffused the events surrounding the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. This project begins to trace the thread of religion that wound throughout that day through pieces of digital media,” an introduction to the site explains.

The site includes a collection of essays that analyze individual pieces of media from that day — from tweets to video to photographs — plus a series of galleries that show those media.

While not an exhaustive catalogue of the intersection of religion and the day’s events, the site does offer a well-researched sampling of the many ways religious ideas both motivated the protesters and were expressed by them.

Media included address both the “Stop the Steal” rally that began the day as well as the march to the Capitol and the violent assault that happened there as supporters of then-President Donald Trump sought to invade the building and physically stop the counting of Electoral College ballots that would give the presidency to Joe Biden.

The site’s creators describe it as “a resource for anyone, from the general public to other scholars, interested in tracing the variety of ways religious identities, ideas, symbols and rituals intersected with the events of January

That being said the guy is still a delusional Christian nationalist, he just doesn't rise to the fascist level, unlike dumpy's stormtroopers. For instance, his unfounded belief that the Constitution is divinely inspired. Bunch of nonsense. He's so delusional that in spite of everything, he's ready to vote for dumpy again in 2024.

After the committee’s Thursday hearing — which will focus on former President Donald Trump’s effort to deploy the Justice Department to help overturn the 2020 presidential election — House investigators will resume hearings in July, Thompson said.
Thompson (D-Miss.) cited newly received footage from documentarian Alex Holder, who had access to Trump and his family before and after Jan. 6; new documents from the National Archives; and a flood of new tips received during the committee’s first four public hearings.

Although panel leaders have only teased the possibility of two public hearings beyond Thursday’s, Thompson said they may add one or more hearings, depending on the evidence it collects in the coming weeks. The House is scheduled to leave town for two weeks beginning Friday and to return on July 12. Thompson said the panel’s hearings would likely resume “after the recess.”

Thompson said he has already viewed some of the footage provided by Holder, who is slated to privately speak with the select committee Thursday, though he hasn’t seen all of it yet. He described Holder’s footage as “important” but declined to elaborate.

January 6th Hearings

For the fifth hearing committee is poised to present evidence to the nation about the attempted capture and corruption of the Department of Justice by former President Donald Trump in his bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election. 

Trump pushed to have the department state publicly that there was widespread election fraud where there was none. Trump angled to have the department file lawsuits on his behalf so his failed fraud allegations would appear credible.
All of this was done in hopes of obstructing the Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, so the 45th president could remain in power though he lost both the popular and Electoral College vote to now-President Joe Biden. 


A culture of intimidation pervaded the Department of Justice in 2020.
Trump had spent four years blurring the lines between the executive branch and the judicial branch, but never was it as murky as it became after he lost the election. 
At the center of this muck was Jeffrey Clark, an environmental lawyer introduced to Trump by Rep. Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican long sympathetic to Trump’s election fraud conspiracy theories.
Clark was appointed to the Department of Justice by Trump just like Rosen, Donoghue, and Engel. But once inside, Clark kept an alliance with the president and engaged in what Thursday’s witnesses have previously described to the Senate Judiciary Committee as a campaign to oust officials who dared go against Trump.
According to records and interviews, it was Jan. 3, 2021 when Clark met with Trump in the Oval Office and presented the president with a letter.
It was a draft intended to go to the leaders of various legislatures in states that Trump had lost, like Georgia. The Justice Department identified fraud in the election, the draft falsely claimed, and it encouraged its recipient to send a slate of “Trump electors”—though they were unsanctioned—to Congress on Jan. 6. 


Rejected Draft Letter From Clark To GA Officials Dec 28
https://www.scribd.com/document/5438367 ... from_embed


Trump had already lost dozens of lawsuits at this point and the deadline for states to submit their electors to Congress had long passed. 
Clark had shown this letter to Rosen days before the meeting in the Oval with Trump. Rosen rejected it wholesale, telling Clark the fraud claims were unsubstantiated and he could not back it.
The men had already met the month before and Rosen made his positions clear: The claims were dubious. But at that December meeting, Rosen had also learned that Clark had sessions with Trump in secret, something forbidden by department protocol. Rosen ordered Clark not to do it again. Clark disobeyed him.
A day before the Jan. 3 meeting in the Oval Office, Clark asked to meet with Rosen in private. Rosen agreed, but he didn’t want to go alone. He asked Donoghue to join them. 
It was there that Clark—their subordinate—informed them that Trump wanted to replace Rosen. And Clark would be the one to do it. 
He wanted that letter out.
... and more to come
See it all and more today. Starts at noon,12:00 pacific time.

I just saw a video on CNN of a cultist in tears thanking gawd almighty fer Donald Jesus Trump & the 3 SC judges from hell.
Yeah there's 30% minimum adult US population anti science and or gullible. That is, my reality is as valid as yer facts. I Have a gullible sister like that. Theres a guy in my small town is definitely a forerver savior jesus trump. A 12 x 15 foot sign saying Trump Won with mixed Christian paraphernalia in his yard by the post office. A Solid T**** district. I'm a member at the GAB Social Network, I deal with it all the time.

I console myself that is jes Darwinism; there's always a wide variety in every population.

Anyhoo I consider it a win if only 1% of that set at least stops promoting Trump. But I reckon it'll be more; in my travels i get a renewed faith in humanity. A Young man's foolish heart i suppose, too immature to give that up .. yet.

Well said ripper! Timing indeed.

Meanwhile,

"I'm on the phone right now," Johnson replied.
"No you're not. I can see your phone. I can see your screen," Thorp said.

Johnson then put his phone down and addressed their questions, dismissing the evidence as a "non-story."

Johnson claimed he wasn't aware of the messages sent by his aide, calling it a "staff-to-staff exchange."
"I was basically, you know, unaware of it," he said.

The Jan. 6 committee has focused in its public hearings on the figures behind the elaborate, and at times chaotic, fake-elector scheme.
The plan involved replacing the slate of electors states sent to reflect the voting in their states with people who had agreed to ignore the legitimate results and instead vote for Trump in the Electoral College.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will hold its next public hearing on Tuesday, June 28 at 1 pm. ET "to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony."
The committee had been expected to take a brief hiatus until the week of July 11.

This will be the sixth hearing for the committee,

Though witnesses for tomorrow's testimony have not been shared with the public, the committee's quick shift in planning likely indicates that significant pieces of new information will be revealed.

Trump tweeted during the live testimony

“I hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and ‘leaker’), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down,”

“Why did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news!”

Trump routinely claims not to be familiar with individuals who are critical of him, particularly when they were part of his administration. He deployed a similar tactic during his impeachment proceedings.

Right! No one's contesting the meat of her testimony, the damning part.

Even Fox News was stunned into silence and the best they came up with us it was stunning, powerful.
Yesterday was very bad for the coup planners.
It sounds like they are trying to fight back , if they can discredit one small thing maybe discredit her whole testimony. Or just change the dialog from the crimminally damning parts. And The SS might not considered it an assault (maybe Trump did this all the time).

There are witnesses we haven't seen yet that have testified Trump wanted to go to the capital with the Patriots.

And so far all we have is an anonymous source vs a testimony under oath. The SS has already agreed to and have been cooperating with the commite without anonymity. So until a testimony under oath contests hers, it's meaningless. Remember she is now under protection because of threats to her personally for her potential testimony.

Even Trump's tweets on truth are all about dening the trivial parts. Crowd size ... throwing ketchup up on the wall... not the guns, not going with the crowd.

@RepAdamSchiff
Here's what we learned:

Trump knew the crowd on Jan. 6 was heavily armed. Prepared for violence

He wanted the magnetometers taken down, as the crowd was no threat to him.

He then directed them to the Capitol

And he was perfectly fine with that.
Just incredible that this Trump-Secret Service altercation story is distracting from the major news that Trump knowingly told armed supporters to march on the Capitol — and Meadows spoke to Stone and Flynn the night before January 6. And then wanted a pardon.

Dunno. It's fluid.

Today
Liz announced that the Select Committee has subpoenaed former White House Counsel Pasquale “Pat” Cipollone for deposition testimony as a part of the committee’s investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Liz says that was the main purpose of Hutchinson's Testimony was to demostrate evidence that a Cipollone subpoena is necessary. That line about if trump goes up there we are going to to be in deepshit. WE!! The White House Council is there to protect the Constitution from the President. Let him or her know if they crossed the line unintentionally or not.

Also its a bee in Liz's bonnet about this Witness tampering thing. Considers it big.

And House Committee on Appropriations meet today, taking attention from committee members.

The House will reconvene the week of July 11, and Thompson indicated that's the earliest hearings
Thompson said the new evidence the committee has includes hours of video footage handed over by a British documentarian who followed Trump, his family and aides, as well as conducting interviews with them, for weeks before and after the 2020 election. Thompson also said there is "a lot of information to the tip line" that the committee has set up.
Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said at Tuesday's hearing that Trump's former White House counsel Pat Cipollone should testify and that the committee is still working to make that happen. Over the weekend, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the committee has more witnesses it would like to hear from and wouldn't rule out a subpoena for former Vice President Mike Pence.
The committee had originally been expected to hold hearings throughout the month of June, followed by a report on its findings in September.
The committee had planned at least two more hearings beyond tomorrow's session, to lay out their case that Trump "summoned a violent mob and directed them illegally to march on the United States Capitol" and another hearing on Trump's inaction to stop the violence on Jan. 6. Given that the committee is considering new evidence and potentially new witnesses, it's possible other hearings will be added.

just a bit of unsurprising insight into the mind of a Trump sympathizer... I made the mistake of breaking my policy of not talking about politics with my wife, just to share the little tidbit about the ketchup dripping down the wall scene, as I thought she might find it funny, but she did not. Instead she retorted "You know, if a democratic president ever acts the same way, the republicans would likely go after him just like the dems are doing to Trump now", apparently seeing it all as just another partisan witch-hunt to be totally ignored, at which point she was quite surprised to learn that the Jan 6th hearings were being run nearly 100% by republicans.

A show trial is a public trial in which the judicial authorities have already determined the guilt or innocence of the defendant. The actual trial has as its only goal the presentation of both the accusation and the verdict to the public so they will serve as both an impressive example and a warning to other would-be dissidents or transgressors.[2]

Show trials tend to be retributive rather than corrective and they are also conducted for propagandistic purposes.[3] When aimed at individuals on the basis of protected classes or characteristics, such trials are examples of political persecution. The term was first recorded in 1928

"Show trial?" ~ Except that's it's a committee not a jury. The committee members are not jurors. These are public hearings. No one is on trial but they're all under oath. Hopefully there will end up being trials & hopefully they show them.

This could've been avoided if the gop had simply done their job and voted to impeach & condemn Trump.
After that fact, since they failed to do that, they still could have had a bipartisan commission but once again they declined.
Then after that fact, they threw a hissy and pulled all of their members because Pelosi correctly refused to allow the two who are intimately involved in the crimes being investigated.

Yes as Ripper said it is not a trial, an investigative report to find out what happened, the sequence of events that led to January 6th Patriots stroming.
This is a midway public report of the Investigation.
The fact that you confuse the facts with a trail is telling.

Did you forget that Mitch McConnell after the second impeachment stated with extreme prejudice and forcfully the reason he voted against impeachment was because Donald J Trump should be criminal prosecuted instead, 'member?

The big lie still going on strong in Wisconsin. Today!

Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling restricting the use of drop boxes for absentee election ballots—not just because the decision will make it harder for many residents to vote, but also because the high court's right-wing majority openly embraced in its ruling former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election.
In the 4-3 decision, the court's conservative justices argued that the use of ballot drop boxes is unlawful because the boxes are not explicitly mentioned in the state's laws, which allow for absentee ballots to be returned to a municipal clerk.
"After the GOP lost Wisconsin in 2020, the GOP decided that the issue wasn't that they couldn't convince voters to support them—it was that people who didn't support them were able to vote."

Yes I've been skating on mentioning this issue.
A logical conclusion for this committee is to investigated what happened on January 6th all the way to the Supreme Court, since SCOTUS are about to judicate on democracy with identical strategy used by the orchestrators of the January 6th coup d'etat by negating votes, to negate entire election.
investigate the three judges that lied uniformly under oath to Congress. This is the same plan, an extention of the coup d'etat.

After Eastman's plan to have Pence reject electors in favor of alternate slates failed, today’s hearings showed that resorting to mob violence was yet one more pre-planned and coordinated attempt to overturn the election.
Remember when asked on peaceful transfer of power President Trump said in the Chris Wallace interview  "We'll want to have — get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very — we'll have a very peaceful — there won't be a transfer, frankly. There'll be a continuation."

"Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), the committee’s co-chair, began the hearing by noting that there had been a change recently in those defending Trump’s actions as it has been established that Trump’s advisors had made it clear to him the election was not stolen. From arguing that he didn’t know the election was fair, they have switched to suggesting that he was misled by bad actors like John Eastman, who articulated the plan to have Vice President Mike Pence refuse to count certain of Biden’s electors, or Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.

But, Cheney said in words carefully calculated to infuriate the former president: “This is nonsense. Trump is a 76-year-old man. He is not an impressionable child. Just like everyone else in this country, he is responsible for his own actions…. [He] [c]annot escape responsibility by being willfully blind.” "

"On December 18, 2020, four days after the electors met, Trump’s outside advisors, including lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, former national security advisor Michael Flynn, and Patrick Byrne, former chief executive officer of Overstock, got access to the White House through a junior staffer and met with Trump. They brought an executive order that had been drafted on December 15, the day after the electors had certified the votes for Biden. It called for Trump to order the Defense Department to seize state voting machines, and it appointed Powell as special counsel to investigate voter fraud, giving her broad powers. They wanted Trump to implement it.

Cipollone got wind of the meeting and crashed it about 15 minutes in. Over the next six hours, White House officials and the Trump team members who insisted the election was stolen faced off, exchanging personal insults, accusations of disloyalty to the president, even challenges to fight physically. Cipollone, White House lawyer Eric Herschmann, and their team demanded evidence to support the theories Trump’s outside team insisted were true. In turn, the outside team repeated conspiracy theories and accused the others of being wimps: Powell told the committee the White House team all should have been fired, and Giuliani told the committee he told them all they were “a bunch of p*ssies.”

In the end, Trump was convinced not to follow the direction of the outside advisors. But he didn't take the advice of those officials telling him to concede, either. Instead, shortly after the meeting broke up, Meadows walked Giuliani out of the White House to make sure he didn’t sneak back into Trump’s company. Then, at 1:42 on the morning of December 19, Trump reiterated to followers that the election had been stolen and that there was no statistical way that he could have lost.

Then he typed the words: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6. Be there, will be wild!”

Immediately, his most loyal supporters recognized this tweet as a call for armed resistance. “Trump just told us all to come armed,” one tweeted. “F*cking A, this is happening.”

Far-right media, including Alex Jones of InfoWars, amplified Trump's tweet with calls to violence. The committee introduced testimony from a former Twitter moderator who said: “We had not seen that sort of direct communication before” in which Trump was speaking directly to supporters and inciting them to fight. After the December 19 tweet, it was clear, the person said, “not only were these individuals ready and willing, but the leader of their cause was asking them to join him in this cause and in fighting for this cause in DC on January 6 as well.”

Supporters wrote comments like: “Why don’t we just kill them? Every last democrat, down to the last man, woman, and child?” and, making the link between Trump’s determination to stay in office and white supremacy: “It’s time for the DAY OF THE ROPE! WHITE REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!”

As Trump continued to post about January 6 on Twitter and continued to insist he had won the election, militias, white supremacists, and conspiracy theorists began to work together to coordinate an attack on the Capitol. The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, along with other extremists groups, worked with Trump allies to plan the attack. Those allies included Michael Flynn and Patrick Byrne"

January 6th Hearings

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2022 6:31 pm

We heard this week during the Jan. 6 committee hearing of far-right groups organizing into paramilitary force that threatened American elections.
Now we learned they're still actively participating in Trump's coup d'etat.

 This very week, far-right “Patriot” extremists doing the bidding of Donald Trump could be found organizing a very real attempt to impose his Big Lie on the electorate.

The Patriots in question are led by Richard Mack and his Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), the far-right group that specifically targets county law enforcement officers for recruitment. Mack, working with Trumpist fanatics like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, has been organizing a scheme in which “constitutional sheriffs” embark on “investigations” of voting machinery and “election fraud” to prove that the 2020 election was stolen—and this week, he organized a national conference of them in Nevada to try to make the scheme into a reality.
 At his press conference on Tuesday, Mack called on sheriffs around the country to open investigations into voting machines, following the example of Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf. As the sheriff of rural Barry County, Leaf seized a Dominion voting machine as part of an “investigation” of vote fraud and had it dismantled, sparking a state investigation of his actions. He then filed a lawsuit objecting to the probe.
Mack’s press conference made clear that his entire campaign—“to encourage citizens and Sheriffs across the US to open an investigation” into supposed 2020 election fraud—is predicated almost entirely on the “evidence” presented in Dinesh D’Souza’s fraudulent pseudo-documentary, 2000 Mules.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/7 ... g-machines


As we learned in the hearings from Pat cipollone the federal government simply can't confiscate State and County machines. Ok. Soooo
now it's the sovereign rouge Sheriff's locally carrying it out instead.

Remember that “constitutional sheriffs” are not subject to the courts, and can determine which federal laws and regulations apply within their jurisdiction. In thier mind

According to the Office of Inspector General Department of Homeland Security (OIG), the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) erased “text messages, from January 5 and 6, 2021.” The letter originally sent to the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General states that the messages were erased during what the USSS called  “a device-replacement program.”

Whether or not this is above board becomes even more questionable, according to OIG’s letter, when you consider that those erased text messages were “after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of events at the Capitol on January 6.” On top of this, the letter reports that OIG inspectors have been stonewalled in their requests for “records of electronic communications” by the USSS.

Don't slip on the Orange Vomit. Slippery as hell. :humph:
CNN - A Washington, DC, police officer has corroborated to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, details regarding a heated exchange former President Donald Trump had with his Secret Service detail when he was told he could not go to the US Capitol after his rally, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

The officer with the Metropolitan Police Department was in the motorcade with the Secret Service for Trump on January 6 and recounted what was seen to committee investigators, according to the source.

"Trump was so enraged at his Secret Service detail for blocking him from going to the Capitol on the day of the insurrection that “he reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel” and “then used his free hand to lunge towards” his Secret Service lead agent Robert Engel."

The Secret Service deleted text messages from January 5 and January 6, 2021, according to a letter from the agency’s inspector general that was sent to the House select committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol building.

The texts were deleted shortly after oversight officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency of the Secret Service, requested to review the agency’s electronic communications. Although the Secret Service claims that the erasures happened by accident due to a device replacement program, the timing of the text deletions has raised suspicions.

Not from the hearings but insurrection news just the same...

A member of the United States Army who re-enlisted in the military after he pepper sprayed cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was sentenced to more than 3.5 years in prison on Friday.

James Mault was fired from his union job after the insurrection, but was able to re-enlist in the U.S. Army even though he had been interviewed by the FBI about his actions on Jan. 6. At the time of the initial FBI interview, the bureau was apparently unaware that he assaulted officers that day.

“They were not patriots on Jan. 6,” Howell said. “No one who broke police lines that day were. They were criminals.”

Prosecutors want the first US Capitol rioter convicted by a jury to spend 15 years behind bars – nearly a decade longer than the most severe sentence a rioter has received so far.

In a court filing Friday, the prosecutors said Guy Reffitt, a Texas father and member of the right-wing militia the Three Percenters, should spend significant time in jail because he brought two guns to Washington, DC, guided the mob forward and planned for more violence after January 6, 2021.

Leaked Audio: Before Election Day, Bannon Said Trump Planned to Falsely Claim Victory
On the evening of October 31, 2020, Steve Bannon told a group of associates that President Donald Trump had a plan to declare victory on election night—even if he was losing. Trump knew that the slow counting of Democratic-leaning mail-in ballots meant the returns would show early leads for him in key states. His “strategy” was to use this fact to assert that he had won, while claiming that the inevitable shifts in vote totals toward Joe Biden must be the result of fraud, Bannon explained.

After Election Day, Bannon became a prominent booster of Trump’s bogus election fraud claims. The Washington Post reported Monday that Bannon’s “vociferous support” for those lies helped convince Trump to grant him a last-minute pardon on unrelated fraud charges.

What Trump’s gonna do, is just declare victory,” Bannon says on the recording.”He’s gonna declare victory. But that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner.”
“At 10 or 11 o’clock Trump’s gonna walk in the Oval, tweet out, ‘I’m the winner. Game over. Suck on that,'” Bannon added. 

“When you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm,” Bannon said.
Indeed, Trump did declare victory in the early morning hours after Election Night, in
“This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country,” Trump said on Wednesday morning that week.
In a tweet at close to 1 a.m. on November 4, Trump also claimed, without proof:
"We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!"

3 men linked to Russian spies were in 'unhinged' Dec. 18 Oval Office meeting with Trump: report
"On Friday, December 18th, his team of outside advisers paid him a surprise visit in the White House that would quickly become the stuff of legend," Raskin explained.
At the meeting, the group discussed the idea of using the U.S. military to seize voting machines.

In a thread posted to Twitter, former FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok noticed a pattern among some of the participants. Strzok had also headed the FBI's counterespionage section.
"Mike Flynn, who who was paid by an organ of Russian state media to travel to Moscow to attend a dinner where he was seated next to Putin. Flynn later plead guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with the Russian Ambassador about election interference," he noted.
"Patrick Byrne, one of several men once in an intimate relationship with convicted Russian agent Marina Butina. Byrne gave money to Butina after her return to Russia, where she ran for the Duma, hounded Navalny, and supported the invasion of Ukraine,"
"Rudy Giuliani, who repeatedly met with and took info from sanctioned Russian agents like Andrii Derkach, despite USIC warnings to the White House in 2019 that Trump’s personal lawyer 'was the target of an influence operation by Russian intelligence.'"

"So in this tiny meeting in the Oval Office where options to upend US democracy were advanced to the President of the United States, there were three people directly linked to sanctioned and convicted agents of the Russian government," Strzok noted. ".. their efforts to gain access to Trump’s inner sanctum succeeded beyond their wildest dreams
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-russia-j6-coup/

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting. The meeting occurred in May of 2017, one day after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey for investigating Russia's successful efforts to help Trump win the 2016 election.
 "A Russian photographer took photos of part of the session that were released by the Russian state-owned Tass news agency. No U.S. news organization was allowed to attend any part of the meeting."

The January 6th committee initial indicated next week to be the eighth and final public meeting.

Rep. Bennie Thompson hinted at more meetings possibly in August when Congress reconvenes due to an avalanche of new evidence from more witnesses coming forward. I suspect the bandwagon effect, people want to tell their story too, be a hero like Hutchinson.

The committee is currently in negotiations to have Mike Pence and Donald Trump give testimony. I'm skeptical.

The White House photographer was barred from taking photos of Trump during those 3 plus hours.
Phone logs deleted.

Trump revising his Jan 7th meesage "I don't want to say the election is over."
Trump Only gave the speech under the threat of the 25th Amendment.
Or, speculating here, threaten to go public he had already been removed by the 25th Amendment. That's how Pence had the authority to call in the calvary, and the generals accepted his authority as POTUS.

"We must regained the narritive Trump is still in charge, calling the shots"

1st, we are now in the criminal investigation phase. Resulting from but separate of the Congressional j6 Committee.

Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff appeared before a federal grand jury investigating the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Short testified six months ago to the J6 committee
Marc Short witnessed the Jan. 4 Oval Office meeting with the president cajoling Pence to join the coup and not certify Biden's victory.  Thus this grand jury appears to be going after the coup leader.
Under the Fifth Amendment a Grand Jury must indict if the crimes have imprisonment as punishment.
Question is which crime, so many.. Ripper presented a menu of known crimes. Thanks!

2nd the committee continues to get under oath testimony from more A++ players.

Gregory Jacob, Pence's chief legal council, is in hour 9 of testimony. With J6 committe, he took notes of all his meetings as emails to himself, including trump trying to push Pence to not certify on 1/5.
He's a "Great Patriot" says Rep Bennie Thompson.

J6 committee is requesting seditious Ginni Thomas testimony, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas. Linking Supreme Court members with the on going coup.

The Committee has given a firm Maybe for more hearings in September and will continue to work through the August Congressional recess.

Jan. 6 committee's August plan: More interviews with Trump aides and studying the 25th Amendment
The Jan. 6 committee continues gathering information from witnesses including Trump Cabinet secretaries while drafting fixes to prevent another attack and a final report about what happened.
Key points :

* Mick Mulvaney and Steve Mnuchin testified, but panel has sites on Mike Pompeo, Ginni Thomas.

*Worried President Biden will duplicate Trump's deadly coup d'etat attempt,, lawmakers aim to update Electoral Count Act and perhaps create panel for invoking 25th Amendment.

* The committee continues to press for Secret Service texts erased from Jan. 6, 2021.

1st, we are now in the criminal investigation phase. Resulting from but separate of the Congressional j6 Committee.

Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff appeared before a federal grand jury investigating the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Short testified six months ago to the J6 committee
Marc Short witnessed the Jan. 4 Oval Office meeting with the president cajoling Pence to join the coup and not certify Biden's victory.  Thus this grand jury appears to be going after the coup leader, Trump.
Under the Fifth Amendment a Grand Jury must indict if the crimes have imprisonment as punishment.
Question is which crime, so many.. Ripper presented a menu of known crimes. Thanks!
Last week The Department of Justice and Trump's lawyers have began talks. Trump will be crimminal subpoenaed.

We missed this one last week...

Texas man (a Trump cultist) gets more than 7 years for role in January 6 riot.

•The jury found him guilty of obstructing Congress' joint session, of interfering with police officers outside the Capitol and of threatening his two teenage children if they reported him to law enforcement.

•Reffitt's 19-year-old son, Jackson, testified that his father told him and his sister, then 16, that they would be traitors if they reported him to authorities and warned them that "traitors get shot."

•Reffitt lived with his wife and children in Wylie, Texas, a Dallas suburb. He drove to Washington, D.C., with Rocky Hardie, a fellow member of the Texas Three Percenters militia group.

•Hardie testified that both of them were armed with holstered handguns when they attended Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally before the riot. Hardie also said Reffitt gave him two pairs of zip-tie cuffs in case they needed to detain anybody.

•Reffitt is one of seven Capitol riot defendants to get a jury trial so far. Jurors have unanimously convicted all seven of them on all counts in their respective indictments.

•On Monday, Reffitt offered an expletive-laden apology to police officers, lawmakers and congressional staffers who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Nope. The talks started last month. First time ever.
This is the DOJ criminal investigation part of j6. And are about what would be Trump's executive privilege, if he has any, the DOJ stance is none, ex-presidents do not have any executive privilege. That resides with the sitting president. And I believe Biden has already waived Trump's executive privilege.

All of the sources had been briefed on the investigative moves in some way, but demanded anonymity in order to discuss them.

 The information being requested centered around U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and the effort to seek alternate electors as part of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election.

Well technically it's espionage but the same outcome.
It’s only “espionage” if it comes from the Espionage region of France. Otherwise, it’s “sparkling treason"

The warrant showed agents cited three criminal statutes in order to conduct the search: 18 U.S.C. § § 793, 2071, and 1519.

18 U.S.C. 793 is the Espionage Act. Specifically, it references the willful or grossly negligent removal of information related to the national defense. 18 U.S.C. 2071 is related to the concealment, removal, or mutilation of documents, and 18 U.S.C. 1519 is related to the destruction, alteration, or falsification of documents that are part of a federal investigation.
Trump the first former president, or president period, under investigation for espionage by the United States Justice Department.

Trump apparently leaked the warrant to Breitbart. The DOJ had sought to redact or shield the names of agents involved. Trump took no caution. The Breitbart article has names of agents, which obviously puts a target on their back. Reprehensible. Trump needs to be stopped. Enough.

redacted search warrant of Mar-a-Lago, PDF.
https://t.co/hsYcAVebaI

Remember in 2017 when he met with the 2 Russians. No one was in the room. His violating the Espionage Act started right after he got elected and got clearance. 

Do not forget his 1/1 meeting with Putin in Helsinki after which he asked the translator to destroy all notes. He emerged from the meeting ‘dejected and owned’  while Putin came out all smiles. After the meeting he said he trusts Putin more than his own intelligence (CIA, FBI included). We don’t know how much he has already giving away.

And the meeting with Lavorov...

Russia suddenly really, really wants to 'protect' Donald Nuclear Secrets Trump


https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/8 ... rets-Trump
After the news broke that the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago the FBI obtained a search warrant to hunt for pertained to classified nuclear secrets, it took about zero point zero seconds for the Russian government and its media mouthpieces to decide that they really, really would love it if Donald trump came to Moscow. You know, for humanitarian reasons or whatever.

The Daily Beast brings us this one. As a Russian military expert waxed on about his concern that the American "campaign of fomenting hatred" against Trump could lead to his "political assassination" on one of the state's propaganda shows, host and Russian State Duma member Evgeny Popov piped up with one proposed solution:

"We should ask [Russia’s] Federal Security Service to start protecting our Donald."
Whether Popov's plan would involve sending Russian security agents to Florida to "protect" Donald or the scenario would be one in which Donald is spirited away to a Moscow apartment is not clear, and it won't do you much good to ponder it because this is Russian state television, where Duma members come up with wacky plans like this on a daily basis.

The second possibility would have Donald Trump fleeing to Moscow for political asylum, which Russian strongman Vladimir Putin would probably find even more appealing now that he knows Donald might bring along extra-special thank you presents.

I had a TS-SCI clearance in the army as a 96-B intelligence analyst in the early 80's.
Worked in a signal intelligence site in Nurnberg, which was built like a big 2-story safe,
with only 1 safe-style door, and 1 window above that, which didn't open, and had bars on it.
and I helped put up a big-ass antenna behind it.
Our office was allowed to blast a stereo all the time as cover noise. had a big reel-to-reel tape player. :bannana:
My office job was just getting TS-SCI clearances for high-ranking officers,
had to fingerprint them and type up their 8-page application forms
but each day, I read my news from the TS-SCI files, just for kicks. :grin:
some of our helicopters were being shot down on 'training' missions, 'mistakenly' crossing the Chech border.

Well technically american collusion. But the Saudis are also in strong running. Or anybody with money or power really

But it would explain the 2 billion dollar investment Jared got from the Saudis, so far unexplained.

Trump just met with the Saudias recently, here in the states because he's under effective house arrest with his secret service detail. When was the last time Trump traveled outside of the US?

Biden early on barred Trump from receiving intelligent updates anymore. Citing "erratic behavior" that was "not related to January 6th".

But he still guilty as hell of a muti prong coup attempt. Including using of leathel force to overturn a free and fair election.

Was Trump hoarding dirt on French president Macron?

President Trump and French President Macron's relationship had severely deteriorated since the two met. The infamous macho handshakes. After meeting with Putin, Trump started dissin' Macron, calling him "very very nasty" for his pro NATO remarks.

And then there's Melania's rare warm and beautiful smile leaning into President Macron. Mel wouldn't even hold Donald's hand.

^ also in Dec 2019,
as world leaders were congregated in London for the NATO anniversary celebration, Justin Trudeau of Canada, Emmanuel Macron of France, and Boris Johnson of England appeared to mock the president in a video shot during a reception at Buckingham Palace. Though Trump wasn’t mentioned by name, it’s pretty obvious that the president — who spoke to reporters for over two hours earlier in the day — was the focus of the conversation.
as he had been considerably late, due to taking the lengthy impromptu press conference off the top
complaining about other countries not paying their fair share of NATO dues, which he called 2-percenters
he had also left that gathering early, scrapping some of his plans there,
and his 'abrupt and quiet departure seemed to show an uncharacteristic admission of defeat' (all butt-hurt & shit)

Video captured by the independent media site News2Share shows supporters of former President Donald Trump armed with guns, waving confederate and American flags outside of the FBI office in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday.

"We're here in support of Trump, for what happened to him, the unlawful search with the FBI at his Mar-a-Lago home," someone at the demonstration told News2Share. "We are sick and tired of this tyrannical government called the Biden regime. We will not stand by and we will not stand down.

Try to steal the election by pressuring several governors to come up with "found" votes for him.

Trying to stop the count of a free election just because the count wasn't going his way.

Blatantly lied that there was election fraud on massive scale.

Encourage legislators and Sheriff's throughout the country to illegally tamper with voting machines.

Try to subvert the free election by getting Mike Pence to unconstitutional call in question the electoral votes that went for biden but not trump.

Willfully sent armed supporters to break into the capital while in session, to stop the vote certification. "there won't be a transition, it'll be a continuation"

The DOJ rejected the request of unsealing the affidavit that led to the warrant on Trump's MarLago home.

It wasn't so much opposing the unsealing, it was the reason. "It may cause irreputable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation"
hey so it wasn't just about getting the National Archive documents back for proper storage. It IS a criminal investigation of Donald Trump.

The DOJ also said "It may disclose highly sensitive information about Witnesses" Witnesses plural. it's safe to assume at this point people in Trump's immediate circle have change sides and he is unaware of.

Also " it also may have a chilling effect on other high profile investigations" investigations plural

Are you advocating that it was better to let Trump steal the election, a violent coup d'etat is legit. partisan politics is more important then the Constitution. Please go after Biden and Harrisl, I'm no fan.
Thanks to Liz NOW you you have a patriot's steps to follow in to fight political corruption. Will any your Red wave sacrifice their careers to do the right thing going after Biden.? Yeah that's what I thought.

all that never listening to advisors and stiffing all of them is really paying off...


He added, "The article quoted one prominent Republican lawyer saying, simply, 'Everyone is saying no.'” In addition to facing difficulties finding viable legal representation, The Post also described the former's president's current legal team as "embarrassing" and "surprisingly familiar."

"As the Post summarized, a former American president is currently represented by a legal defense team that includes a Florida insurance lawyer who’s never had a federal case, a past general counsel for a parking-garage company, and a former host from a propagandistic cable outlet," he wrote.

There is always a public defendent. Then there's always his former personal lawyer. But Rudy Giuliani might be busy flipping.
Donald Trump's onetime personal lawyer, testified before a special grand jury in Atlanta Georgia alongside with Lindsey Graham on Wednesday in a criminal probe of Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results.
Rudy appeared before Georgia state lawmakers in December 2020, echoing Trump's false conspiracy theories about stolen ballots and urging them not to certify Joe Biden's victory over the Republican Trump.

Giuliani, who tried to weasel out traveling to Atlanta by claiming he couldn't travel, got caught traveling and the court ordered him to show up even if on "public transportation". He did.

Thanks for the redirection away from the rino suffering from a severe case of democracy.
The disdain I have for permanent Washington grows each day. So morally corrupt;they fraudulently push Green New Deal aka Build Back Better aka The Great Reset aka The Inflation Reduction Act, packaged as such to exploit the suffering of those who regard them as the fiduciaries of government.

This is no different than when Liz's dad was cheerleading the "Patriot Act" so they could throw away rights to spy on and incarcerate people with out just cause.

Maybe when yall lefty dems are honest enough to openly call yourselves communists, you can drop all the deceit, and stand on the righteous foundations of the peoples party. Right next to Mao and 45 million piled up "terrorists".

I've explained this earlier Trump is now being investigated under federal and state grand juries. Because of the j6 committee's work.
Sigh,, as I explained earlier..
Under the Fifth Amendment a Grand Jury must indict if crimes have imprisonment as punishment.
This is not like a police or an FBI Criminal investigation, NO officer discretion. Must indict.
If Liz were doing the right thing, she would not have been primaried. Representing your constituency is the right thing to do, because that's what you're contracted to do.

Deep breath. Patience and compassion.

All congress members have taken THE oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
As the facts unraveled Trump did attack the US Constitution. The members that didn't defend the Constitution broke their oath.

Pat Cipollone, the White House Council, you may remember him from his jaw dropping j6 Committee live testimony about Trump wanting to lead the armed Patriots into the capital on j6
Please make sure we don’t go up to the Capitol, Cassidy. Keep in touch with me. We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen
And he was the lawyer that defended Trump in the first impeachment trial.

Cipollone And WHC deputy Patrick Philbin have been reported testifying to the Grand Jury confirming Trump words that are legal proof of Trump's espionage crime.
"It's not theirs, It's mine"
Why merlick Garland was forced into issuing the
search warrant on Trump's residence. After bending over backwards and giving Trump every possible chance to avoid. But its trump so the famous words instead. Dum dum dumb.




"He has betrayed our national securty and he will do it again. He has compromised our elections and he will do it again. You cannot contain him, you cannot constrain him, he is who he is. The truth matters little to him."

The Comey firing, as retold by the Mueller report
https://apnews.com/article/north-americ ... 2661257ef0
By Eric Tucker April 23, 2019
... The FBI director, James Comey, had privately reassured Trump that he was not personally under investigation. But on May 3, 2017, when Comey was summoned to Capitol Hill to explain his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, he denied the president the public vindication he’d sought.
Facing curious lawmakers and a captivated American audience, Comey pointedly refused to say whether any members of the Trump campaign were or were not under criminal investigation — including the president himself.
...
“The Department of Justice has authorized me to confirm” the existence of a broader investigation into potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, Comey said. “We’re not going to say another word about it until we’re done.”
...
Trump spent the next several days stewing over Comey. Trump asked Comey to pledge his loyalty to him, but the FBI chief declined. Then Comey ignored the president’s appeal to end an investigation into his former national security adviser.
...
The White House released the memo on the evening of May 9 as it announced Comey’s firing, which it said was done at the Justice Department’s recommendation.
Comey learned of his firing from television screens.

Note: at least Senator Johnson is now a amitting there was a fake electoral attempted coup. Trump and his allies are guilty of the sedition but he was saved by the five second rule. Too funny,
:lurk:
During a recent interview, WISN's Matt Smith asked Johnson if he would agree to speak to the Jan. 6 Committee.

"No, I had nothing to do with Jan. 6," Johnson said.
"If they asked you to testify, would you?" Smith wondered.

"What would they ask me to testify about?" Johnson said
"The Republican electors," Smith noted, referring to a fake slate of electors that Johnson was asked to deliver to then-Vice President Mike Pence in an effort to steal the election from Joe Biden.
"Again, another grotesque distortion," Johnson complained. "I had nothing to do with the alternate slate. I had no idea anybody was going to ask me to deliver those. My involvement in that -- that attempt to deliver spanned the course of a couple seconds."

The senator said that he "fielded three texts and sent two and talked to my chief of staff that somebody wants to deliver something."
"I knew nothing about it," he added. "In the end, those electors were not delivered because we found out from the vice president's staff they didn't want them delivered. End of story. I know that's been blown out of proportion."
"You think so," Smith remarked.

Johnson insisted that it was wrong to look at the plot to overturn the election as a "massive conspiracy."
"I had virtually no involvement!" he asserted. "Literally, my involvement lasted seconds. OK?"
Johnson initially denied having any knowledge of the alternate electors.

do you believe Trump and his allies that the 2020 election there was massive fraud in favor of Biden. Donald Trump did truly win the presidential election, both with popular and electoral?

Not alwayz unto themselves, tho the Raffensperger phone call was definitely an illeagle request, sedition in fact. they are all integral parts of various crimes, have criminal codes. My questions were very specific questions. Parts of a whole. To put it in perspective, completeness, it is already explained in detail in this thread of umpteen pages.

Do you think electronic voting is secure?
Nope and in my rural red county I help lobbied to remove them with fellow republicans and we were happy for the mailed ballots with unique barcodes. Mail or drop off, much more secure. Received an email when my ballot was received. And received an email when my ballot was counted.

Democrats were very against it until Hilary lost and big tech took control.
Nope totally made up. Fool.

Dems claimed massive fraud in 2016 and zero in 2020.
Nope. Massive?? you're making it up. Only in your mind or you've been sucked into the echo chamberof lies. and more importantly if so where's the proof from either sides. Boy that's been asked since trump's whining and his big lie and still nothing. nada zilch zero empty as a magahead. Remember what Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said? Do you even know what the crimes the Georgia grand jury are investigating? Idiot.


Unless you're talking about gerrymandering, gaming the Electoral College, unconstitutional voter suppression laws then yeah there's plenty of proof. there's even a thread about it here at MPG. But I don't think you referring to that, you seem ignorant of it.

Liz Cheney: Goodbye and Good Riddance
By Dr. Binoy Kampmark


The fact that Daddy Dick was there, the dark eminence who soiled the Republic and inflated executive power with drugged glee, said it all. This was the occasion of his daughter’s electoral defeat at the hands of another Republican, Harriet Hageman. Neoconservative bumbler and part of an enterprise that loves war and cherishes the buccaneering free market, Liz Cheney was facing final judgment at the hands of voters in Wyoming for her belligerent position against Donald Trump.

Cheney had hoped to purge the GOP of Trumpist influence by simply reiterating her own toxic alternative, the very sort that did much to bring about the success of Trump in the first place. All that mattered was reiterating her hatred of orange-haired ogre and his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

This was a bit much given how she had done little by way of condemning Trump for any earlier misdeeds even as the GOP was being transformed. As a matter of fact, her voting record for Trump’s proposals comes in at an astonishing, distinctly non-dissenting 93%.

Former Republican Rep. Justin Amash issued a strong rebuke last year regarding her newly fashioned image in the party. She could hardly be seen as “some sort of hero”, having come to the anti-Trump show belatedly late. She might have joined him in his earlier warnings that “the president’s approach could lead to things like violence, could lead to a lot of animosity and contempt and all sorts of things that would be harmful to our country.”

During her time in Congress, Cheney also showed hostility to raising the minimum wage, voted against the Equality Act and the Equal Rights Amendment, the Voting Rights Act, the George Floyd Act and the Build Back Better and Infrastructure bills. And that’s just a modest sampling.

Video: Freedom Convoy Solidarity in Alberta. Agreement with RCMP
Cheney’s position as vice chair on the January 6 committee was purely decorative. In getting her on board, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could leave an impression that the investigation into the former president was somehow bipartisan, bringing in both Democrats and the GOP. In the meantime, Cheney could play the principled constitutional defender, enraging members of the party that never forgave her.

In losing her voter base, Cheney seemed to have won, inexplicably, a few admirers. Former US Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, hoped she would not “disappear from public life.” She had “displayed more courage and integrity than almost any other member of her party – indeed, given the pressure she was under, perhaps more than any lawmaker now alive.”

It is worth noting that Trump, for all his monstrous defects and vandalising tendencies, never took his country into an illegal war nor endorsed a massive, illegal warrantless surveillance program of citizens. For all his Caesar-like pretensions, he was not an adventurist in the way President George W. Bush was, nor committedly Machiavellian in the manner of Dick Cheney. Besides stealing the 2000 election, a point virtually no one sober enough after the fact amongst Democrats and Republican strategists can deny, Bush went on to destabilise and crater the Middle East and give a very complete account about how dismal the neoconservative cabal could be.

In due course, the neocons, with the Cheney mindset running the show, converted the US government into a forward base for forced democratisation even as they were destroying democracy – or an impression of it – at home. (A plantation, property-minded republic with a constitution to match was never intended as a democracy.) It made Dick Cheney’s plea for his daughter’s re-election darkly laughable. “In our nation’s 246-year history,” went the campaign ad fronted by Father Dick, “there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”

Daughter Liz is hoping for bigger, more ruinous things. In her graceless non-concession speech, she promised that “our work is far from over”. This project, she suggested, lay in the battle against “the conspiracy and the lies” regarding the 2020 elections. She promised to “do whatever it takes” to deny any pathway for Trump’s return to the White House.

This immediately had commentators jotting down options. Did that mean that Cheney would have a stab at the office herself? (She subsequently revealed on NBC’s Today that she was toying with the idea.) Any primary run against Trump would seem positively quixotic, though she did allude, irrelevantly, to one of the Republic’s most remarkable and devious minds as a source of inspiration. “Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all.”

Nothing proved sacred to Cheney, who also mentioned Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, “That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and a government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Pity those last words seemed to have been ignored by her family.

In her dig through Civil War history, not even Ulysses S. Grant was spared. The Union General, instead of heading back to the safety of Washington, decided to head to Richmond “and the heart of Lee’s army. Refusing to retreat, he pressed on to victory.”

Bringing the spirits of Lincoln and Grant into play, along with the nonsense of the US being “the best hope of freedom on earth”, was in spectacularly poor taste. The Cheney family has made a truly corking effort in shredding the Republic Lincoln tried saving. Along the way, they managed to lose a constituency. There was never much in the way of principle here – except the one that only ever matters for the Cheneys: power, and how to possess it.

Boy you are stupid I mean stupid stupid. What this whole fucking thread is about. Are you a real life idiot or you just play one on the internet. I just listed two distinct crimes up there, Earlier Ripper had a list of about four or five distinct crimes factually laid out. But if you're too stupid to read what the fuck do I care.

Discovery comes first, then criminal investigation then indictment, then arrest, then arraignment, then trial. Idiot. Did you not know this, are you that stupid too. Are you too stupid to even know where the process is at, even after repeatedly been told.

Garland has already strongly implied Trump is under further criminal investigation, FBI and grand juries. The Georgia grand jury is investigating Trump's crimes. Did you not read Trump's subpoena, I linked it, there were three crimes cited, section code and all. One of them was for espionage that Trump has already confessed to. McConnell, right after trumps second impeachment said Trump was guilty as hell of the crimes including sedition and should be prosecuted for it... but when out of office. So they have been..

You've sold all of your Occupy gear to team up with your elite corporate globalist opposition to destroy a single man.
All of your bank run media machine told you to hate him because he was going to destroy American democracy, and you hate him real good.
It all began when Hillary played the Russia hoax card at the debate in 2016, and the onslaught of both the Establishment and the Democratic party to take down a sitting U.S. President began and has not stopped to this very day.

How many of you really contemplated why the Establishment was so eager to clothes line one who was in their own peer group.
I could only conclude that he was going to take America into the global community as the #1 power, and not go along with the Established UN doctrine.

So now after a strange election and the Dems have control over the entire congress and executive branches, the world has quickly descended into a very fragile state, with a gloomy horizon.

All I know is life was easier before yall took over.

But then you fucked yourself worrying about finishing off the Don, instead of "healing" the country, so now you will lose control unless something really spicy happens.... and it probably will.

Long before the January 6 riots, the FBI was busily amassing the surveillance tools necessary to monitor social media posts, track and identify individuals using cell phone signals and facial recognition technology, and round up “suspects” who may be of interest to the government for one reason or another.

As The Intercept reported, the FBI, CIA, NSA and other government agencies have increasingly invested in corporate surveillance technologies that can mine constitutionally protected speech on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to identify potential extremists and predict who might engage in future acts of anti-government behavior.

All it needs is the data, which more than 90% of young adults and 65% of American adults are happy to provide.

When the government sees all and knows all and has an abundance of laws to render even the most seemingly upstanding citizen a criminal and lawbreaker, then the old adage that you’ve got nothing to worry about if you’ve got nothing to hide no longer applies.

As for the Fourth Amendment and its prohibitions on warrantless searches and invasions of privacy without probable cause, those safeguards have been rendered all but useless by legislative end-runs, judicial justifications, and corporate collusions.

He was already bad enough. We already waited too long. Bad enough in 2019 that's why he WAS impeached. Did not want to find out how bad it was going to get. All fascism is bad there's no reason to wait around to see if it gets worse. That is Stupid.
We knew in 2019 it was a wrong to leave him in.
Sure enough he got worse, tried to steal an election, tried to stop the peaceful transfer power, and then grifted off his sedition. Consequently impeached a second time. Be more stupid to wait third time.

Now you want to know what would happen if we left the treason seditious fascist as prez a little longer?? More sedition and treason at minimum. D'OH! That's after we now know he's been hoarding National Security Secrets and potentially blackmail material; Illeagly. Against the White House counsel Pat Cipollone's advice. Dodged a bullet there. last but not least, there's a whole anti-science thing, he was already gutting our science institution, never chose a science advisor. No good will come of that and none did.
He has betrayed our national securty and he will do it again. He has compromised our elections and he will do it again. You cannot contain him, you cannot constrain him, he is who he is. The truth matters little to him."

Thread: Mitch McConnell is upset and "confused" as to why MAGA Senate candidates suck so terribly and Dems have a great shot at holding the Senate. But here's why. He no longer chooses the candidates. Trump does. MAGA does. GOP is dead. In it's place is the MAGA fascist party.

Barr and only Barr says there was not sufficient evidence that Trump obstructed the Mueller Russian probe.

Hundreds of former prosecutors say Trump would have been indicted if he were not president
“We believe strongly that, but for the OLC memo, the overwhelming weight of professional judgment would come down in favor of prosecution for the conduct outlined in the Mueller Report," the former federal prosecutors said in a statement.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, she said Barr had already decided the Constitution forbids indicting a sitting president before the memo was written. The document, she said, was instead meant to guide him on "getting a jump on public relations" in explaining his decision.

In an earlier ruling she said Barr's mind had already been made up before the memo was written.
The Justice Department, however, said the memo was not intended to conclude whether the president should be prosecuted, but rather a separate question of whether, despite the long-held legal precedent that the Constitution implicitly forbids prosecuting a president, the evidence would nonetheless support doing so.
The memo concludes that there was not sufficient evidence to establish Trump obstructed justice during Mueller's probe.
It also says that there is considerable evidence that Trump took official actions, such as asking the White House counsel to fire Mueller.
The judge goes on to say that the Mueller report itself does have obstruction and interference in the 2016 election, and concluded Trump was likely guilty but couldn't be prosecuted as a sitting president.
It does not say that the Mueller report didn't find obstruction, russia interference and potential crime.

The memo is about Trump unsuccessfully trying to fire Mueller. If that was obstruction. D'OH!
And because of the memo release, Barr is now under investigation for obstruction too. D'OH

I wonder if predatory loan debt is the reason why the educated are becoming a dwindling minority. Maybe its the banning books, maybe making it illeagle to teach history cuz white people feelings. Or maybe it's arresting teachers for helping kids with library cards. Maybe it's all the anti-science rhetoric maga repubs spew. Maybe it's DeVos's war on public education. Or Banning the teaching of evolution, Banning math books. Making illegal to teach basic biology (sex). Maybe it's passing laws that pi is a rational number.

But good ol' Dark Brandon strikes again.
Let's go Brandon.

The committee is about to officially restart their investigation in September. And now the DOJ in their criminal investigations are undercovering more serious crimes.

So first a review of the committee's work so far. What specific crimes have the facts unraveled with overwhelming detail from the j6 Select Committee work. The details are available by reviewing the Committees public hearings. But here's a short synopsis:

1. Obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress
It is illegal to obstruct an official proceeding of Congress, and on Jan. 6, 2021, Congress convened in what very much was an official proceeding: to hear the tally of electoral votes from states, certify Joe Biden's win.
This is the crime that many of the Jan. 6 attackers have been charged with, 

2. Conspiracy to defraud the United States
This is the Eastman plan to pressure Pence to illeagly reject states’ electoral results on Jan. 6.
And Eastman and Trump knew their plan was illegal because numerous high-level colleagues told them so. President Trump knowingly agreed with others to attempt to obstruct Congress's election certification process by deceit or dishonesty.

3. Seditious conspiracy
This is the most serious crime so far and the one with the most abundance of actual facts.
Leaders of the far-right militia groups Oath Keepers and Proud Boys have been charged with this crime. Seditious conspiracy is a rare and serious charge, alleging they forcefully tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of presidential power. A handful of attackers have pleaded guilty to it.

4. Wire fraud
Trump committed fraud by fundraising on the false basis that the election was stolen. 


By my estimates were other potential crimes laid out by the committee but they contained only circumstantial evidence so far. The above have actual factual proof.


Worth replaying this stunning quote.
Trump: "I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in."
Trump knew in advance that his supporters would march to the US Capitol building on January 6. And also knew on j6 that they were well armed. Encouraged it. In additional to having sent his proud boys militias ahead with a plan for at least 4 forced ingresses into the capitol building before he arrived.

A ways back roller asked how bad would it be if Trump did remain as prez. Well let's here from the horse's mouth.

IN FIRST SPEECH BACK IN D.C., TRUMP CONFIRMS HE’LL RULE LIKE A DICTATOR IN SECOND TERM
...
In a speech delivered at the America First Policy Institute’s two-day summit, the former president kicked things off by explaining that the U.S. should model its strategy for drug dealers off of that of authoritarian countries like China, which execute such people. “If you look at countries throughout the world, the ones that don’t have a drug problem are those that institute a very quick trial—death penalty sentence for drug dealers,” Trump said in his speech. In his first term, Trump frequently spoke of his desire to sentence drug dealers to death. In April 2017, he called the then president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, to praise the guy for the country’s crackdown on drugs that reportedly resulted in the killing of more than 12,000 people. “I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem,” Trump reportedly said, referring, glowingly, to Duterte’s extrajudicial murder spree. “Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that.” A year later, Axios reported that he’d internally raised the prospect of executing drug dealers in the U.S. on numerous occasions.
After fantasizing about mass executions, Trump then moved onto his reported plans to fire thousands of federal employees—the ones who actually know what they’re doing—and replace them with MAGA loyalists: We also got his vision for the homeless In addition to a pledge to use the National Guard for dubious ends, despite the fact that he didn’t think they were necessary on January 6:
It goes on with more video clips from the speech for
Naturally, the remarks also included an attack on transgender athletes:

And, obviously, lies about the 2020 election (and commentary on the supposed unattractiveness of his political foes):

Lies about his love of law enforcement:

And lies about history

Onto..

The criminal investigations have revealed more crimes alluding to espionage, treason and now selling the names of of our spies to Russia `& Saudi Arabia at minimum.
So now this thread will have two threads. One importantly still reviewing what happened that led up to January 6th sedition. And second the criminal investigations from the DOJ revealing additional unbelievably crimes & sins.

Is now a good time to talk about the fact that last year a memo sent to every C.I.A. station around the world warning about "troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed.."

2022. Trump's warrent revealed he stole and distributed classified material on Human Intelligence Sources ( US spies) which helped trigger the Alarm for the raid. DoJ: "All the crimes and co-conspirators have not been identified".

In 2019 president Trump issues an ominous request for a list of top U.S. spies. Alarms were raised, a whistleblower and yet another scandal swept under the rug at the time.
---------

“In my administration, I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law” —Donald Trump, 2016

Trump spoke with Putin on 7/31/19.

Trump requested a list of top US spies on 8/3/19.

Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader triggered an urgent whistleblower complaint on 8/12/19

Russia published the name and biography of a man living with his wife and kids near DC on 9/10/19.

CIA Admits to Losing Dozens of Informants" on 10/5/2021

Documents at MAL Compromised Human Intel. 8/26/2022
------

And it now appears that Trump—using the alias “John Baron” with his Russian handlers—had provided highly classified national security information to the Russians in exchange for [still to be determined].

Trump could claim he did not know of these documents, but DOJ has found Trump handwritten comments on many of them. It establishes Trump's personal liability on the theft.

The committee has announced they will start the hearings. They're going to delve into the finances.
The Don's grift from the big lie. Stop the steal. Wire fraud. Financing the j6 event including The Oath Keepers and proud boys White House payments.
As they said back in the Nixon days, "Follow the money"

And the destruction of brave Patriots' Lives who believed Trump's the big lie. Followed Trump's orders to attack the capital. Those that sent Trump money believing the big lie. Their lives and Families turned upside down.

Additional they will examine the on going cover up afterwards. Missing text messages, Secret Service, missing emails, missing documents. Those putting out misinformation to hide Trump's culpability. obstruction of the investigation.

And any new subpoenas. Who's going to cooperate and who is not.


Meanwhile

  Kellye SoRelle, the lawyer for the far-right Oath Keepers White nationalist extremist group has been charged with conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, was arrested in Texas on charges including conspiracy to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory, the Justice Department said.
SoRelle became the defacto leader while Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers’ leader is behind bars.

Breaking: Lindsey Graham, who tried to throw out Black votes in Georgia, has once again been denied by a judge in his efforts to get out of a subpoena in Georgia.

JUDGE:
... As to the other categories, the Court finds that they are not legislative, and the Speech or Debate Clause does not apply to them. As such, Senator Graham may be questioned about any alleged efforts to encourage Secretary Raffensperger or others to throw out ballots or otherwise alter.
Raffensperger(R) upheld his oath. Graham did not.
This was prior to Trump's infamous Raffensperger call to create 11,000+ new Trump's votes out of thin air. Essentially negate George's free election.
When that didn't work cuz of Roethlisberger's integrity
Trump started conducting the faked electors scheme. Conspiracy to defraud the US government and Seditious conspiracy charge.

Longtime Republican disruptor Newt Gingrich, Senior Advisor to then-President Donald Trump conducted an email discussion about posting ads falsely disputing the results of the 2020 election, according to a letter sent to Gingrich by the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.
"The goal is to arouse the country's anger," Gingrich said in one email, the Committee states in its letter which asks him to testify voluntarily and preserve all related documents.

In its letter the Committee writes it "has obtained information indicating that you have knowledge about former President Donald J. Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and we write to seek your voluntary cooperation. Some of the information that we have obtained includes email messages that you exchanged with senior advisors to President Trump and others, including Jared Kushner and Jason Miller, in which you provided detailed input into television advertisements that repeated and relied upon false claims about fraud in the 2020 election."
"These advertising efforts were not designed to encourage voting for a particular candidate. Instead, these efforts attempted to cast doubt on the outcome of the election after voting had already taken place.," the Committee's letter to Gingrich reads. "They encouraged members of the public to contact their state officials and pressure them to challenge and overturn the results of the election. To that end, these advertisements were intentionally aired in the days leading up to December 14, 2020, the day electors from each state met to cast their votes for president and vice president," the Committee adds.

The Committee says it also has evidence Gingrich was "involved in the fake elector scheme."
Even in the hours after the violent but failed January 6 coup, the Committee says Gingrich "continued to push efforts to overturn the election results," and emailed Mark Meadows at 10:42 PM.
Among the numerous emails you exchanged regarding purported election fraud, you wrote on December 8, 2020, urging Donald Trump's campaign to air advertisements promoting the false narrative that election workers had smuggled suitcases containing fake ballots at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This email shows that you provided line edits to the scripts used to produce television advertisements and suggested that the advertisements include a 'call-to-action' of pressuring state officials. You specifically pushed for national advertisements to include false allegations about what you called the 'suitcase scandal.'"

You expect people with the same skin color to all be the same and when they aren't you get mad.
Your as wrong about the historical facts here as you are about ww2...........still waiting for that list of far more humane victors in war.
Apparently you are unaware of the Spanish and their slave trade.........or the muslims.
You're a racist and your too educated to see it apparently.

Maga 1/6/21 = Former NYPD officer sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting a police officer on January 6

https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/01/politics ... index.html
In videos played during his trial, the 56-year-old former Marine can be seen swinging a metal flagpole at DC officer Noah Rathbun before crossing police barriers at the US Capitol and tackling Rathbun, choking him with the officer’s chinstrap. In May, Webster was found guilty of all six charges he faced, five of which were felonies.
Webster, who spoke through tears before his sentence was handed down, asked Mehta for “mercy,” saying that he “failed to have the courage to contain” himself that day.

“I can never look at my kids the same way again,” Webster said. “The way they look at me, it’s different now. … I was their hero until January 6.”

Monroe also shifted the blame to former President Donald Trump and the Republican party for turning Webster, and “otherwise decent, law abiding individuals … against fellow Americans.”
So....Trump should get double this for being the cause/ringleader/ seditionist fascist "leader"

SANTA FE — A New Mexico judge ordered Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin be removed from office, effective immediately, ruling that the attack on the Capitol was an insurrection and that Griffin’s participation in it disqualified him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This decision marks the first time since 1869 that a court has disqualified a public official under Section 3, and the first time that any court has ruled the events of January 6, 2021 an insurrection.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as the Disqualification Clause, bars any person from holding federal or state office who took an “oath…to support the Constitution of the United States” as an “officer of any State” and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or gave “aid or comfort” to insurrectionists. Griffin, as an Otero County Commissioner since January 2019, took an oath to “support and uphold the Constitution and laws of the State of New Mexico, and the Constitution of the United States.”

An eyewitness to Griffin’s behavior testified that Griffin also took on a leadership position within the mob at the Capitol on January 6th. Videos of Griffin’s speeches en route to Washington, DC for the “Stop the Steal“ rally showed Griffin’s willingness to stop, by any means necessary, a Biden presidency. In the days after the attack, Griffin continued to defend the insurrection, boasted about his involvement, and suggested a possible repeat of it in the future. Following a federal indictment for his behavior, he was convicted of breaching and occupying restricted Capitol grounds.

Back to business
Even as the DOJ files an appeal to work around a rogue judge and bring Donald Trump to justice for stealing classified documents, the DOJ has also been pursuing Trump with a separate grand jury criminal probe into Trump’s election plot. But now it turns out the DOJ has had yet another grand jury criminally investigating Trump.
The DOJ has been sending out grand jury subpoenas aimed at piecing together how Donald Trump has been using his Save America PAC to fraudulently raise money by pretending he won the 2020 election
This is exactly what the January 6th committee has been investigating & subpoenaing Witnesses over the Congressional August break (lazy Democrats). Working overtime bears fruit.

If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

Your head is humming and it won't go

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Donald J. Trump vs The United States of America
Civil case.


By JOSH GERSTEIN and KYLE CHENEY
09/20/2022 03:05 PM EDT
NEW YORK — The senior federal judge tasked with reviewing the materials seized by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate sharply questioned the former president’s attorneys Tuesday during their first hearing before his courtroom.
...
Judge Raymond Dearie pushed Trump’s lawyers repeatedly for refusing to back up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.
“You can’t have your cake and eat it,” said Dearie, the “special master” picked by U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon to vet Trump’s effort to reclaim the materials taken by federal investigators.
...
Trump has argued that the 11,000 documents taken from Mar-a-Lago were rightfully in his possession, including about 100 bearing classification markings that suggest they contain some of the nation’s most closely guarded intelligence.
...
Without evidence from Trump, Dearie said his only basis to judge the classification level of the records was the fact that they all bear markings designating them as highly sensitive national security secrets — including some that indicate they contain intelligence derived from human sources and foreign intercepts.
...
Dearie, 78, engaged succinctly with the parties during the 40-minute session. He noted that the current litigation filed by Trump is civil in nature, since no criminal charges have been filed, so the burden of proof is on Trump to back up any assertion of privilege or other protected interest in the documents.
...
Trump’s attorneys argued that it was the Justice Department — not Trump — that bore the burden of showing the documents seized last month were classified. Dearie rejected that argument in his courtroom, saying that all that mattered were the markings on the documents.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/2 ... o-00057805


Judge Dearie disagrees 100%. Kick rocks Donny
Wasting my time over this horseshit.

One other note. Judge Cannon retained her right to fire Judge Dearie. Cuz Trump .. ready for this.. deserve special consideration beyond anyone else in the country including the sitting President. I kid you not that's what she wrote.

Actually this hearing was to declare the strategy amongst all parties.

The way I read it Dearie wants to get this over with. He like the rest of the legal Community believes its a vacuous argument.

After Trusty asked Dearie to jump start the process of getting the proper security clearances for Trump’s lawyers, the judge said he takes national security concerns “very seriously” and that it might not be necessary as he’d like to resolve the dispute without looking at the classified information if he can.
Without evidence from Trump, Dearie said his only basis to judge the classification level of the records was the fact that they all bear markings designating them as highly sensitive national security secrets —
No evidence from the Trump lawyers then they're defacto what the labels say they are. If They're classified they belong to the government.
And the special Master's job is done, the civil case has no standing. Trump's lawyers are are walking a thin line to stay out of leagle jeopardy themselves.

If they need security clearance then they've lost their argument, the documents must belong to the government. No need to look at the documents. Fwiw the chance that Trump's lawyer gets security clearance is Nil. a delay tactic.

Judge is trying to give Trump's lawyers a soft Landing. Judge Cannon already threw away her soft Landing offer from the DOJ.

Let's review Trump's sophisticated seven-part plan to overturn the 2020 election and prevent the transition of presidential power, which the j6 committee laid out in stark detail. There will be a quiz later :grin:

Part one: Trump repeatedly and aggressively lied to the public falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him. 

Part two: Corruption of Justice Dept. --Trump sought to replace the Acting Attorney General with a loyalist so as to weaponize DOJ to use the force of the law to support his election lies. 

Part three: Trump corruptly and repeatedly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to violate the U.S. Constitution and the law by refusing to count certified electoral votes on January 6 

Part four: Trump improperly pressured state election officials and legislators to change their states' election results and undermine the will of the voters in their states by flipping the state from Biden to Trump. 

Part five: Trump’s team, including his lawyers, told GOPers across the country to manufacture fake slates of electors and send those fake elector slates to the U.S. Congress and the National Archives. 

Part six: Trump summoned and assembled a mob of supporters to D.C. and directly told them to march to the US Capitol. 

Part seven: Despite the violence against police and in the Capitol, Trump ignored myriad pleas for help and folks begging him to take immediate action to stop the violence and tell the MAGA mob to leave the Capitol.

…and while we’re at it, don’t forget about Chris Miller, who told the Jan. 6 Committee he didn’t send Nat’l Guard to help in order to avoid another “Kent State”. He’s lying, he made sure they wouldn’t get in the way of the insurrection on the 4th

Alleged Nazi sympathizer sentenced to 4 years in prison for Jan. 6 riot

~ At a sentencing hearing in Washington D.C., Judge Trevor McFadden said the case that prosecutors brought against Timothy Hale-Cusanelli of Colts Neck, N.J., had "several aggravating factors" that set it apart from other Jan. 6 riot cases. Hale-Cusanelli worked as a private security guard at Naval Weapons Station Earle and also served in the National Guard for around 11 years.
~ At one point, a federal appeals court rejected a request that he be released on bail, citing reports from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service that 34 of his co-workers described him as "having extremist or radical views pertaining to the Jewish people, minorities and women."
~ The appeals court said Hale-Cusanelli had said that babies born with disabilities should be shot and that "Hitler should have finished the job."
~ At Thursday's sentencing hearing, prosecutor Kathryn Fifield said that Hale-Cusanelli had sought to pursue his own "civil war" and that he was heard urging fellow rioters: "Advance, advance, advance."

Reality ~ rabbit holes!
January 6 rioter who chased Capitol police officer near Senate chambers found guilty on all charges

During the trial, Jensen’s attorney, Christopher Davis, told the jury that before January 6, Jensen had fallen down an internet “rabbit hole” and became a follower of the conspiracy theory known as QAnon. As part of it, Jensen believed that during the riot, officers would begin arresting elected officials who opposed President Donald Trump’s efforts to stop the certification, Davis said, including Vice President Mike Pence.

Instead of arresting Pence, officers – including Goodman – defended the Capitol from the onslaught of rioters. Jensen, with a mob behind him, chased Goodman up flights of stairs near the Senate chamber as the officer led them away from the senators still inside.

According to prosecutors, Jensen was one of the first 10 rioters who breached the building that day. He will be sentenced on December 16.

What does it mean DOJ is compelling Kash Patel to testify? It means DOJ is conferring immunity on him, which means he cant take 5, but his testimony (and leads) cannot be used against him. So DOJ has determined it cannot make a crim case against him, but wants his testimony. 1/2

DOJ can compel Patel to testify under oath in the grand jury. If Patel then lies after being compelled to testify under a grant of immunity, Patel CAN be prosecuted for those grand jury lies, assuming DOJ can prove it. Risk: Patel lies and provides a false alibi for Trump
Kash Patel was installed to be chief of staff of Chris Miller and facilitated the 14 times they denied the national guard on January 6. And the guy who gave Trump the idea that he can magically blink, nose wiggle documents to unclassified, as if that's an excuse to steal High valued Intel.

Former NYPD officer sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting a police officer on January 6
During the sentencing, prosecutors noted that Webster brought a firearm to Washington, DC, – which he left behind on January 6 – and wore his police-issued body armor to the Capitol.

Webster’s attorney, James Monroe, wrote in a court filing that Webster’s actions – which he previously argued were in self-defense and justified – were now “unmistakably violent and reprehensible,” calling them, “unspeakable” acts.

Monroe told judge Mehta that Webster should be sentenced to time served for what he called “seconds of stupidity.”
Monroe also shifted the blame to former President Donald Trump and the Republican party for turning Webster, and “otherwise decent, law abiding individuals … against fellow Americans.”

Trump tweeted an image from a spy satellite, declassified document shows
November 18, 20225:01 AM ET

Three years ago Donald Trump tweeted an image that left intelligence experts gobsmacked.
The picture was of a rocket that had exploded on a launch pad deep inside of Iran. It was so crisp, that some initially thought it may not have been taken by a satellite.
"This picture is so exquisite, and you see so much detail," says Jeffrey Lewis, who studies satellite imagery at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "At first, I thought it must have been taken by a drone or something."

But aerospace experts quickly determined it was photographed using one of America's most prized intelligence assets: a classified spacecraft called USA 224 that is widely believed to be a multibillion-dollar KH-11 reconnaissance satellite.

Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has formally declassified the original image. The declassification, which came as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request by NPR, followed a grueling Pentagon-wide review to determine whether the briefing slide it came from could be shared with the public.

Many details on the original image remain redacted – a clear sign that Trump was sharing some of the U.S. government's most prized intelligence on social media.

It follows the FBI's seizure in August of 33 boxes filled with over one hundred classified records, stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Some of those documents were related to Iran

It's not uncommon for those people to want to declassify what they see, says Robert Cardillo, who served as director of the NGA from 2014 to 2019. Often, he says, he would suggest that the government release a lower-resolution image from a commercial satellite instead. "That was done from time-to-time as a way to protect that source, but then also get the information out," Cardillo says.

Who bought these? Trump’s digital trading cards have sold out, all 45,000 of them at $99 each. That means he raised $4.45 million in just 12 hours. (Data: OpenSea)
How much of the $4.5M spent on donald's NFTs came from foreign governments?
If lawyers had to ask where the money comes from the way banks do, as would be required under the #EnablersAct, then Trump’s lawyer would have to maintain a record of who exactly sent Trump $4.5 million yesterday. twitter.com/kenbensinger/s…
A little peek at those secret documents about nuclear capability ain't free. Great way to launder money for that. Saudi can do a crypto currency purchase of his NFT to say thank you for services rendered. Because honestly; nobody would want to buy bad cosplay photoshop jpegs.

I suspect they were discreetly.
Committee chairman Bennie Thomas explain this a while back, and promise full cooperation at the end:

J6 Committee did not know in advance what they would find, so they could not know how much effort would be required to find it.  Having staff spending time working with DOJ would mean that the staff would not be spending that time working on the Committee investigation.  The Committee would prioritize their own investigation first, the Committee would know that come Jan 2023, they might very well not exist any longer, so they better use their time very wisely.

The J6 Committee might have reasoned that they in some instances they might get more cooperative witnesses if they didn’t push “We are part of the criminal investigation.” out front as part of their branding.

The J6 Committee feared that DOJ might slam a “this is part of a criminal investigation” label on materials the Committee handed over, thus interfering with the Committee’s work.

Now trump’s tax returns have come out we see that he has been defrauding the irs daily for 30 years, in plain sight, but never even a hint of consequences from doj. if you aren’t disgusted by the doj you aren’t paying attention

My bad. Nick Quested wasn't the filmmaker for the White House commentary. He a filmmaker doing a documentary on the schism in America . Part of the story was falling around the proud boys prior to knowing about the j6 insurrection and then during the insurrection. An eyewitness to the coordination and the violence.

The January 6 insurrection occurred two years ago, and in the time since, journalists, academics, and political leaders have almost entirely ignored how the attempt to overturn the 2020 election is linked to the mainstreaming of white supremacy and Great Replacement Theory. This willful ignorance can (and must) be challenged, but anti-racist and progressive activists and intellectuals need to put white supremacy at the forefront of our discussions of J6 and Trumpism. Without this transformation in how we understand our political culture, there’s little chance of fighting back against white supremacy in America.

Well for what it's worth I've always maintained it's been about white supremacy. Or at least that is Trumpism power source, But whenever I've pointed this out Maga types always responds with:" that's racism to say that", unwittingly proving my point.

What other possible reason would one vote for Trumpism's Make America great again?

BREAKING: Four Oath Keepers convicted of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four members of the Oath Keepers were convicted Monday of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack in the second major trial of far-right extremists accused of plotting to forcibly keep President Donald Trump in power.
The verdict against Joseph Hackett of Sarasota, Florida; Roberto Minuta of Prosper, Texas; David Moerschel of Punta Gorda, Florida; and Edward Vallejo of Phoenix, comes weeks after after a different jury convicted the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, in the mob’s attack that halted the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
It’s another major victory for the Justice Department, which is also trying to secure sedition convictions against the former leader of the Proud Boys and four associates. The trial against Enrique Tarrio and his lieutenants opened earlier this month in Washington and is expected to last several weeks.

The Last Time the Justice Department Prosecuted a Seditious Conspiracy Case
Why should anyone care about the Hutaree now? Because one of those serious charges was seditious conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. § 2384. It was the last time the Justice Department would use the statute until the present day. And the fate of the Hutaree may offer some insight into why. The judge in the case threw out the seditious conspiracy charges, along with the other more serious charges on the docket. And in the end, three Hutaree members pleaded guilty to standard-fare federal weapons charges.

Mar-A-Lago
The FBI and Jack Smith’s team received from Trump's lawyer a new folder with classified markings ..
..AND a laptop that included material from that classified folder at Mar-A-Lago.

Evidence just presented in the Proud Boys trial showed that the group’s higher-ups were in communication with the Trump campaign, which urged them to appear at rallies around false claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

But we knew that, since the biggest evidence was the Secret Service didn't skirt POTUS away to president's safe spot during a violent armed insurrection Involving coordinated militias, breaking into the Capitol building.
Because Trump was directing it. Those pesky missing call logs and deleted texts from the Secret Service.

I liked AOC bitching at Joe. :laugh:

I watched the Levine video. Skipping past the ridicule to diminish his target, they discuss the Dominion law suit which is ironic.
Voting machine makers are not unfamiliar with legal actions against detractors.
3 years prior to being acquired by Dominion Sequoia threatened Princeton Univ.
In 2007, after New Jersey requested the Princeton team’s attention, Sequoia actually threatened the Princeton Computer Scientists with legal action if they continued with their assessment. New Jersey would later release the report and decertify Sequoia in that state. According to VerifiableVoting.com, Sequoia machines suffer from ineffective safeguards against data tampering, easily circumvented cryptography permanently hardwired into the machines, and numerous programming errors.
and New Jersey election clerks (most likely pertaining to the Princeton suit as both are in NJ)
[1] At the time of the purchase, Dominion absorbed some key staffers from Sequoia, among them Edwin B. Smith, who now serves as Dominion’s vice president of certification and compliance. In 2008, Smith threatened legal action against two computer scientists hired by an association of New Jersey election clerks to examine malfunctioning Sequoia touchscreen machines. The following year, in a farcical conflict of interest, he was appointed to the EAC’s Technical Guidelines Development Committee, which helps determine which specific voting machines should be certified for use.
If you research prior to 2016 when democrats had some degree of sanity, you'll see that Dominion and all the companies it has absorbed along the way, have come under scrutiny for vulnerabilities fairly regularly by outlets other than FOX.

Isn't it hilarious how Lark Mavin is considered by maga to be such a big brained Reagan lawyer and yet, he couldn't do sqwat to help sway the 62 court failings on the 2020 voter machine election fraud. :laugh:

And now he's here trying to lie about promoting the Kraken lady. :roflmao:
Levin specifically directed her to “focus … on the Dominion voting machines,” asked “why are the media ignoring the Dominion voting machines,” and allowed Powell to claim Dominion will “blow up the whole election.” Levin subsequently attacked people who claimed they are “nuts” with “conspiracy theories,” and argued that their critics “don't study this stuff. They haven't looked into this stuff. It's not their name under penalty of perjury.”
They started out a priori "there was fraud" and then twisted it into the big lie. Now Lark calls that research? More like political theatre.

Roller you know that's a another fake AOC video right. Never happened . Maga porn.

Its about defamation. Not about the hypothetical veracity of the voting machines. Courts already decided the election was NOT stolen by machines or otherwise.
FOX NEWS aired false claims about a stolen election, alleging that Dominion was part of a plot to steal votes from defeated former president Donald Trump. Fox repeatedly continue to air known unsubstantiated election accusations. Dominion also sued Trump affiliated attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

It's about the big lie and fuck around and find out

I don't know about the trial date, both sides have requested a summary judgment. Judge Eric Davis currently has sealed the details.

I know what the lawsuit alleges as well. I read the complaint.
I think the context of the political climate, and other factors should make a phenomenal 1st amendment court battle.

I thought most courts refused to hear the case...which one handed down the verdict? I missed that.

Naturally, Fox will try to settle this case. It seems as though Fox has not yet made any settlement offers, but that will change. After the summary judgment motions are decided, and as trial approaches, both sides’ knees will weaken, and settlement talks will begin.

New York court greenlights $2.7bn suit against news channel by election company Smartmatic over 2020 presidential election lies
Smartmatic’s lawsuit against Fox News has attracted only a fraction of the attention garnered by the legal action of Dominion Voting Systems. Yet both firms are suing Fox for defamation related to its coverage of Donald Trump’s stolen-election lie, and both pose a serious threat to Fox’s finances and reputation.

In fact, on paper Smartmatic’s suit appears to be the more dangerous. It’s demanding damages of $2.7bn, compared with Dominion’s $1.6bn.

So far, attempts by Fox lawyers to have the Smartmatic case dismissed have fallen on stony ground. Last week the New York state supreme court in Manhattan gave the green light for the case to proceed against Fox News, the Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, the former business anchor Lou Dobbs and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

WASHINGTON – No, really: Tucker Carlson doesn't hate Donald Trump – far from it, he says.

"I love Trump, like, as a person,"
The Trump text flap happened while Carlson is also under criticism for defending the pro-Trump insurrectionists of Jan. 6, 2021.

Carlson told WABC that he explained the texts to Trump himself after the former president called him up "all wounded about those texts."

In proclaiming his love for the ex-president, Carlson said: "I think Trump is funny and insightful.”

Additionally, the DoJ has pieced together the day to day activity at Mar-a-Lago using texts from Molly Michael.

The DoJ now has evidence that Donald directed others to LIE to government officials in early 2022, and that he asked advisers and lawyers to release FALSE STATEMENTS that he had returned all the documents.

The DoJ also has evidence that Donald asked his lawyers how he could keep some of the documents and was advised that doing so could be illegal.

Not really, the obvious difference is Trump was a President when he removed the documents, and this is not uncommon apparently.
Although Biden is president now, he was just a senator when he removed some of the documents, and is very uncommon and very unlawful. Senators are put in the skiff to review classified materials, and they are subject to prison time for removing them.
Remember Sandy Berger? (not a senator, but high official)
Just because biden turns them is as soon as they are found is irrelevent to the crime. If that were the case all a bank robber would need to do is give back the money and walk.
I'm not gonna say, that Trump never broke the law, but I'm not going to say Biden never broke the law.
I will say that there is a very fat kid on the see saw.

Hard to tell by that reply what point if any youre taking aim at.
1. You don't think a senator leaving the skiff with classified documents is unlawful.
USC 18 1924 I think. Google it.
2. You don't equate stealing classified materials with stealing money.
Yes, both instances are steeling. If you take something that you aren't entitled to take, that's stealing.
3. You think Biden is above the law.

the differences have already been explained
but you seem to be playing dumb, another troll tactic
you cannot explain anything to a troll who refuses to listen
when your mind is closed, your eyes cannot see
but if you really want to know more, you only need to do a little research
here is a list of articles and videos which should cover it, enjoy!
https://www.google.com/search?q=DIFFERE ... IDEN+TRUMP
here's one small sample on the point to help you get started:
WHAT LEGAL PERIL DO BIDEN AND TRUMP FACE?
It is a crime only if the retention and removal of classified records is intentional.
Prosecutors typically won't pursue charges for the accidental retention of classified records,
but if there is evidence of possible obstruction of justice, that could change things.
For that reason, legal experts say, Trump faces considerably more legal peril than Biden.
To date, there has been no suggestion by the Justice Department that Biden
knowingly retained the records or refused to return them to the government.
Also, as president, Biden is unlikely to face prosecution.
The Justice Department has not changed its long-standing policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
The same policy helped insulate Trump when he was president and under investigation by then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
In that case, Mueller declined to determine whether Trump had obstructed his investigation into
possible ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 election campaign because of the department's policy. - Reuters

January 6th Hearings

by roller24
I don't think I dismissed anything, but I'll try to answer what I think your asking.
If the social gains are things like entitlement payments and subsidies, etc. I would say that those gains probably occurred while the marxist ideas were accepted into the governing. Socialism. Allows for private capital entities and social programs paid for by redistribution. It's marxist in nature but without dictator and state owned industry. In all these countries you see the more progressive ones have more progressive governing.
However there now needs to be a constant balance of public needs, and private taxation. The private taxation must keep up with the public need, and when it doesn't the government goes into huge debt.
This leads to cycles of discontent among both segments which decays stability and security of the state.
Now look at China. uncontested the CCP has risen to a world power within a short time historically. Opposition is dealt with swift and forcefully to deter further actions opposing the party.

Let's talk about top Florida Dems getting arrested....



Meanwhile Republicans are also removing elected representatives in Tennessee from their jobs.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... ol-protest
Republican legislators in Tennessee have begun the process of expelling three Democratic colleagues from the conservative-controlled house over their support for a gun control protest at the state capitol days after a deadly school shooting in Nashville.

On Thursday, hundreds gathered at the capitol to protest against the absence of gun control measures after three nine-year-old students and three staff members were killed at the Covenant school last week, according to a report in the Tennessean.
Using a bullhorn, state representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson approached the house podium without being recognized and cheered the protesters on.

House Republicans introduced three resolutions to expel the Democratic trio at the end of Monday’s session, four days after the protest. The chamber’s leadership also compared the gun control protest to an “insurrection”.
Expelling a house member is an extremely rare occurrence, with only two of the chamber’s members removed since the civil war.
The three have already been stripped of their committee assignments as more sanctions are expected, according to the Tennessee house speaker, Cameron Sexton.

At one point, Sexton ordered state troopers to remove supporters.
House members also got into a confrontation on the chamber floor. Jones accused representative Justin Lafferty of pushing him and grabbing his phone.

Tennessee House expels 2 Democrats over gun control protest
In retaliation, Tennessee Republicans on Thursday expelled two Democratic lawmakers from the state Legislature for their role in a protest calling for more gun control in the aftermath of a deadly school shooting in Nashville. A third Democrat was narrowly spared by a one-vote margin.
The split votes drew accusations of racism, with lawmakers ousting Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, who are both Black, while Rep. Gloria Johnson, who is white, survived the vote on her expulsion. Republican leadership denied that race was a factor, however.
The visitors’ gallery exploded in screams and boos following the final vote. After sitting quietly for hours and hushing anyone who cried out during the proceedings, people broke into chants of “Shame!” and “Fascists!”
Banishment is a move the chamber has used only a handful times since the Civil War. Most state legislatures have the power to expel members, but it is generally reserved as a punishment for lawmakers accused of serious misconduct, not used as a weapon against political opponents.
GOP leaders said Thursday’s actions were necessary to avoid setting a precedent that lawmakers’ disruptions of House proceedings through protest would be tolerated.

“Rather than pass laws that will address red flags and banning assault weapons and universal background checks, they passed resolutions to expel their colleagues,” Jones said. “And they think that the issue is over. We’ll see you on Monday.”
Jones, Pearson and Johnson joined in protesting last week as hundreds of demonstrators packed the Capitol to call for passage of gun-control measures. As the protesters filled galleries, the three approached the front of the House chamber with a bullhorn and participated in a chant. The scene unfolded days after the shooting at the Covenant School, a private Christian school where six people were killed, including three children.

Four Proud Boys members found guilty of seditious conspiracy
www.cnn.com/2023/05/04/politics/proud-b ... index.html
Four members of the far-right Proud Boys have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy by a jury in Washington, DC, for their roles to forcibly prevent the peaceful transfer of power from then-President Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. Defendants Enrique Tarrio – the Proud Boys longtime chairman – Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola faced a range of charges, including three separate conspiracy charges, obstructing the Electoral College vote and tampering with evidence. 

The guilty verdict marks the third time that prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy in the Justice Department’s historic prosecution of those who breached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

All five defendants were found guilty of other charges related to January 6, including: Obstruction of an official proceeding; Conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties; Obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; and Destruction of government property and aiding and abetting.

14 years for the latest of Donny's insurrectionists. :bonghitter:
CNN —

A Pennsylvania man who threw a folding chair at law enforcement and repeatedly used pepper spray on police during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was sentenced Friday to more than 14 years in prison – the longest of any January 6 defendant so far.

Peter Schwartz, 49, was found guilty on 10 charges in December 2022 during a jury trial, including four felony charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers using a dangerous weapon. Schwartz’s prior criminal history of 38 felony convictions dating to 1991 was a significant factor behind his sentence.

Justice Department asks for 25-year prison sentence for convicted Oath Keepers leader
“These defendants attempted to silence millions of Americans who had placed their vote for a different candidate, to ignore the variety of legal and judicial mechanisms that lawfully scrutinized the electoral process leading up to and on January 6, and to shatter the democratic system of governance enshrined in our laws and in our Constitution,” prosecutors wrote in the filing. “And when they did not get what they wanted, they acted by together attacking the very people and place at the very time when those laws were in action.”

They added: “This Court has previously explained that it ‘has been one of the great tragedies in the history of this country’ to see ‘ordinary, hardworking Americans’ turn into criminals on January 6 and ‘suffer[] the consequences.’ These defendants are in part responsible for that national tragedy; they played significant roles in spreading doubt about the presidential election and turning others against the government, and they are incomparable to the actions of single actors on January 6.”

Jan. 6 rioter who electroshocked Michael Fanone shouts 'Trump won' after he's sentenced to 12½ years

Daniel "D.J." Rodriguez, who was wearing a MAGA hat when he drove a stun gun into the officer's neck at the Capitol, was arrested after the online Sedition Hunters community helped identify him.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justic ... -rcna89388

~~~~~~~

Good quick read with some interesting stats here:

1,000 people have been charged for the Capitol riot. Here's where their cases stand
An overview of the cases so far

Number of people charged, federal: 994
Number of people charged, D.C.: 24
Number of people who have pleaded guilty: 541
Number of individuals who have had jury or bench trials: 67
The number convicted on all charges: 42
The number acquitted on all charges: 1
The number with mixed verdicts: 24
Number of people sentenced: 445
The percentage of people sentenced who have received prison time: 58
The median sentence for those who received prison time, in days: 60
The prison sentence range: 7 days to 10 years
The number of cases dismissed: 5 federal; 8 D.C. Superior Court

Who are the 1,000 alleged rioters?

The defendants – who came from nearly all 50 states – are a tough group to generalize. Most of them appear to be white men, though not entirely.

About 15% of the defendants have a background in the military or law enforcement. For context, about 7% of the U.S. population are military veterans. Police and sheriff patrol officers make up less than 1% of the population.

The difficulty in categorizing this group has caused some experts concern. One in four defendants are facing assault or some other violent charge, yet the vast majority of people facing charges – nearly 85% – do not have any known connection to extremist groups.

"Are you dead?" A.J. Mock asked in one text to his dad after the attack, which was introduced as evidence in the trial.

"Yes, this is how I'm haunting you," Brian Mock replied.

"What you guys did today was treason and a homeland security threat ... Everyone there should be locked up for the rest of their lives, including you," A.J. Mock wrote in a message to his dad that was introduced as evidence at trial. "You STORMED THE F---ING CAPITOL."

After courtroom outburst, Florida music teacher sentenced to 6 years in prison for Jan. 6 felonies
A Florida music instructor who unleashed an unexpected verbal tirade at prosecutors, the media and the federal government at her court hearing Friday, has been sentenced to six years in prison in her U.S. Capitol Insurrection case. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta castigated Audrey Southard-Rumsey, 54, as a "one-person wrecking crew" on Jan. 6, 2021, and added a "terrorism enhancement" to her sentence.
During a dramatic 15-minute statement at her sentencing hearing, Southard-Rumsey pushed aside papers that included a set of prepared remarks. She instead blistered prosecutors, calling them "liars," then accused a Capitol Police officer whom she'd allegedly confronted on Jan. 6 of being "terrified."

Turning periodically to face the prosecutors and the courtroom audience, who were seated behind her, Southard-Rumsey told the judge, "I wanted to tell you exactly what you want to hear, but I won't. I won't lie. There were vicious lies about me."

She accused Antifa of filming her amid the Capitol riot and said, "My whole dream of my life has been taken, because people have different politics than mine."

Southard-Rumsey also said, "I have grievances, since they don't listen to us at the polling place. They don't listen to us little people in the regular world." She said, "I'm ashamed of this country."

She also told Mehta, "When you decide to throw me in prison for doing my duty, think of what I now have to give up."

The uniquely strident and unapologetic remarks presented a sharp contrast with dozens of the hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants who have spoken and sought leniency at sentencing.

After Southard-Rumsey's defense attorney approached the podium to urge her to wrap up her remarks, she concluded by saying, "It's not fair."

When Southard-Rumsey returned to her seat, the federal prosecutor urged the judge not to allow a customary federal court leniency at sentencing for "acceptance of responsibility."

The judge criticized her and other Jan. 6 defendants for "cloaking themselves in patriotism."

He cited some of the vulgar language attributed to Southard-Rumsey from Jan. 6, including the profane and threatening language she had directed at former House Speaker Pelosi.

During her statement to the judge, Southard-Rumsey said, "I won't protest because I'll be in prison. Why protest? You guys don't listen."

Southard-Rumsey will be permitted to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons in the coming months to serve the six-year prison sentence.

According to a Justice Department report, approximately 560 of the more than 1,000 defendants of the U.S. Capitol siege have been sentenced. Approximately 335 have received prison terms.

Departing court, Southard-Rumsey declined requests for comment. Turning to reporters, she said, "You all are f******* liars. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're why we're in this mess."

Idiot' Jan. 6 rioter who stole John Lewis photo from Nancy Pelosi's office gets 4 years

Judge Beryl Howell said it was ironic that Kevin Lyons called police officers Nazis on Jan. 6 because the attack on the U.S. Capitol was “about the most fascistic” thing she’d seen.
WASHINGTON — A self-described "idiot" who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and stole a wallet and a framed photo of the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison on Friday.

Kevin Lyons, a 40-year-old father from Chicago, was previously found guilty of a felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding along with disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building and entering and remaining in a restricted building.

Former police chief convicted after defending self with false Jan. 6 claims
“No reasonable citizen of this country, much less one with two decades of experience in law enforcement, could have believed it was lawful to use mob violence to impede a joint session of Congress,” U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in court. “Belief that your actions are for a greater good doesn’t negate consciousness of wrongdoing.”

There is no ‘the police didn’t stop me in time’ defense,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Mariano said in his closing argument. “If Alan Hostetter wants to know what could have been done to prevent Jan. 6, he could start by looking in the mirror.”

Man sentenced to 7 years in Jan. 6 assaults that forced an officer to retire
Prosecutors sought a 15-year term for Kyle Fitzsimons, whose attack on one officer forced him into medical retirement
Fitzsimons, 39, wearing a butcher’s coat with “Kyle” embroidered on the chest and wielding an unstrung archery bow, twice charged into the phalanx of officers protecting the upper West Terrace tunnel on the afternoon of Jan. 6, at one point grabbing the shield strap and wrenching the shoulder of Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell. The officer testified that the pain was so bad he considered using his gun to shoot Fitzsimons before he was freed. He suffered a partially torn rotator cuff and labrum, and was forced to take a medical retirement.

Video also captured Fitzsimons hurling his bow like a spear into the crowd of officers, striking one in the head, and also being involved in a tussle with D.C. Police Sgt. Phuson Nguyen, during which the officer’s gas mask was dislodged and another rioter then poured chemical spray into Nguyen’s face before the mask snapped shut. Nguyen testified that he got knocked down at the same time, and “I thought that was it for me. I thought that’s where I’m going to die.”

:volcano:Former Trump State Department official convicted for attacking police during Capitol riot
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who worked as a politically appointed State Department official in former President Donald Trump's administration was convicted Thursday of charges that he attacked police officers during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Klein, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, had a Top Secret security clearance and had been working since 2017 in the State Department’s office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs. He resigned from that position on Jan. 19, 2021, a day before President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Klein, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, was in the first wave of rioters to enter the tunnel, according to prosecutors. They said Klein pushed hard against officers, telling them, “You can’t stop this!” and repeatedly drove his shoulder into an officer who tried to push him back with his baton.

Klein also wedged a stolen police riot shield between two doors, preventing officers from closing them, prosecutors said.

"With the shield as a wedge, Klein and other rioters pried the doors open again and continued their attacks on the police in the tunnel, which lasted for more than two more hours," prosecutors wrote.

Video captured Klein exhorting other rioters to attack police, repeatedly yelling, “We need fresh people!”

Cappuccio yelled, “Storming the castle, boys!” and chanted, “Fight for Trump!” and “Our house!” as he reached the Lower West Terrace. In the tunnel, he joined other rioters in pushing against the police line, prosecutors said.

“All the while, Cappuccio continued to hold his phone in the air, recording the violence between the rioters and the police line,” they wrote.

Rudy Giuliani concedes he made false statements about two Georgia election workers
WASHINGTON − Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani conceded that he made false statements about two Georgia election workers he accused of rigging the 2020 election and counting extra votes.

His latest court filing Tuesday is an attempt to resolve their litigation against him.

It also says he refuses to accept his statements caused damage to the plaintiffs, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who said they faced harassment and death threats after former President Donald Trump accused them of election fraud.

To the horror of his twisted, fascist, delusional, cult...The Orange Vomit has finally been indicted for his treason... :fubird:

Today a grand jury in Washington, D.C, indicted former president Donald J. Trump for conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. The charges stemmed from Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A grand jury is made up of 23 ordinary citizens who weigh evidence of criminal activity and produce an indictment if 12 or more of them vote in favor.

The grand jury indicted Trump for “conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted and certified by the government; “conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified”; and “conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted.”

“Each of these conspiracies,” the indictment reads, “targeted a bedrock function of the United States federal government: the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election.” “This federal government function…is foundational to the United States’ democratic process, and until 2021, had operated in a peaceful and orderly manner for more than 130 years.”

As Rachel Weiner pointed out in the Washington Post, “conspiracies don’t need to be successful to be criminal, and perpetrators can be held responsible if they join the conspiracy at any stage.”

The indictment referred to six co-conspirators without identifying them by name, but the details included about them suggest that Co-Conspirator 1 is Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani; Co-Conspirator 2 is lawyer John Eastman, who came up with the plan for then–vice president Mike Pence to use his ceremonial role of counting the electoral votes to throw the election to Trump; Co-Conspirator 3 is Trump lawyer Sidney Powell; Co-Conspirator 4 is Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department lawyer whom Trump tried to push into the role of attorney general so he could lie that there had been election fraud; Co-Conspirator 5 appears to be Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump attorney behind the idea of the false electors.

The identity of Co-Conspirator 6, a political consultant, is unclear.

On The Reid Out tonight, law professor Neal Katyal suggested that the six were not indicted because the Justice Department “doesn’t want the trial of the other six to be bundled up with this and slow this down.” Los Angeles Times senior legal affairs columnist Harry Litman concluded that the absence of Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, from the indictment indicates he’s cooperating with the Department of Justice. Meadows had a ringside seat to the last days of the Trump administration.

The indictment is what’s known as a “speaking indictment,” one that explains the alleged crimes to the public. It undercuts Trump loyalists’ insistence that the Department of Justice is trying to criminalize Trump’s free speech by laying out that Trump did indeed have a right to challenge the election—which he did, and lost. He also had a first-amendment right to lie about the election.

What he did not have was a right to use “unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results.”

The indictment begins by settling out that Trump “lost the 2020 presidential election” but that “despite having lost, [Trump] was determined to remain in power.” So he lied that he had actually won. “These claims were false, and [Trump] knew they were false.” More than 15 pages of the 45-page indictment establish that Trump knew the allegations he was making about election fraud were lies.

In one memorable December exchange, a senior campaign advisor wrote in an email, “When our research and campaign legal team can’t back up any of the claims made by our Elite Strike Force Legal Team, you can see why we’re 0–32 on our cases. I’ll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it’s tough to own any of this when it’s all just conspiracy sh*t beamed down from the mothership.”

The Trump team used lies about the election to justify organizing fraudulent slates of electors in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Allegedly with the help of Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, they attempted to have the legitimate electors that accurately reflected the voters’ choice of Biden replaced with fraudulent ones that claimed Trump had won in their states, first by convincing state legislators they had the power to make the switch, and then by convincing Vice President Mike Pence he could choose the Trump electors.

When Pence would not fraudulently alter the election results, Trump whipped up the crowd he had gathered in Washington, D.C., against Pence and then, according to the indictment, “attempted to exploit the violence and chaos at the Capitol” to overturn the election results. “As violence ensued,” the indictment reads, Trump and his co-conspirators “explained the disruption by redoubling efforts to levy false claims of election fraud and convince Members of Congress to further delay the certification based on those claims.” On the evening of January 6, 2021, the indictment alleges, Trump and Co-Conspirator 1 called seven senators and one representative and asked them to delay the certification of Biden’s election.

While they were doing so, White House counsel Pat Cipollone called Trump “to ask him to withdraw any objections and allow the certification. The Defendant refused.” Just before midnight, Co-Conspirator 2 emailed Pence’s lawyer, once again begging the vice president to “violate the law and seek further delay of the certification.”

While Trump loyalists are trying to spin the indictment as the weaponization of the Department of Justice against Trump, legal analyst George Conway noted on CNN tonight: "All the evidence comes from Republicans. If you go through this indictment and you annotate the paragraphs to figure out who are the witnesses the [special counsel] would use to prove particular points, they're all Republicans. Those are the people who were having the discussions, telling [Trump], 'You lost.'”

Trump will be arraigned at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on August 3. The case of the United States of America v. Donald J. Trump has been randomly assigned to Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, appointed by President Obama in 2014 and confirmed 95–0 in the Senate. Chutkan has presided over dozens of cases concerning the defendants who participated in the events of January 6, 2021, and has been vocal during sentencing about the stakes of that event. In December 2021 she said: “It has to be made clear that trying to stop the peaceful transition of power, assaulting law enforcement, is going to be met with certain punishment.”

“The attack on our nation’s capital on January 6, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy,” Special Counsel Jack Smith said in his statement about the indictment.

“The men and women of law enforcement who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6 are heroes. They’re patriots, and they are the very best of us. They did not just defend a building or the people sheltering in it. They put their lives on the line to defend who we are as a country and as a people. They defended the very institutions and principles that define the United States.”

The prosecution of former president Trump for trying to destroy those institutions and principles, including our right to consent to the government under which we live—a right the Founders articulated in the Declaration of Independence—should deter others from trying to do the same. Moreover, it will defend the rights of the victims—those who gave their lives as well as all of us whose votes were attacked—by establishing the truth in place of lies. That realistic view should enable us to recommit to the principles on which we want our nation to rest.

Such a prosecution will reaffirm the institutions of democracy. Donald Trump tried to destroy “the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured…by the Constitution and laws of the United States—that is, the right to vote, and to have one’s vote counted.” Such an effort must be addressed, and doing it within the parameters of our legal system should reestablish the very institutions Trump loyalists are trying to undermine.

As former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said this evening: “Like every criminal defendant, the former President is innocent until proven guilty…. The charges…must play out through the legal process, peacefully and without any outside interference…. As this case proceeds through the courts, justice must be done according to the facts and the law.”

Thuffering thuck-a-tash ..another load of maga tears. The government was lawfully doing it's job by investigating Trump after he very publicly called for Russia's help in collision.
Trump: "Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” said at a news conference in July 2016 even as he faced questions about whether he endorsed foreign meddling in U.S. elections.

Trump later pressured the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on Hunter Biden and his father, President Joe Biden, who was then seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, leading to the former president's first impeachment."

There have been more developments today surrounding yesterday’s indictment of former president Trump for conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding as he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election and install himself in office over the wishes of the American people.

Observers today called out the part of the indictment that describes how Trump and Co-Conspirator 4, who appears to be Jeffrey Clark, the man Trump wanted to make attorney general, intended to use the military to quell any protests against Trump’s overturning of the election results. When warned that staying in power would lead to “riots in every major city in the United States,” Co-Conspirator 4 replied, “Well…that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.”

The Insurrection Act of 1807 permits the president to use the military to enforce domestic laws, invoking martial law. Trump’s allies urged him to do just that to stay in power. Fears that Trump might do such a thing were strong enough that on January 3, 2021, all 10 living former defense secretaries signed a Washington Post op-ed warning that “[e]fforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.”

They put their colleagues on notice: “Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic.” Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo recalled today that military leaders told Congress they were reluctant to respond to the violence at the Capitol out of concern about how Trump might use the military under the Insurrection Act.

Political pollster Tom Bonier wrote: “I understand Trump fatigue, but it feels like the president and his advisors preparing to use the military to quash protests against his planned coup should be bigger news. Especially when that same guy is in the midst of a somewhat credible comeback effort.”

On The Beat tonight, Ari Melber connected Trump Co-Conspirator John Eastman to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Just before midnight on January 6, 2021, after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Eastman wrote to Pence’s lawyer to beg him to get Pence to adjourn Congress “for 10 days to allow the legislatures to finish their investigations, as well as to allow a full forensic audit of the massive amount of illegal activity that has occurred here.” On the floor of the Senate at about the same time, Cruz, who voted against certification, used very similar language when he called for “a ten-day emergency audit.”

An email sent by Co-Conspirator 6, the political consultant, matches one sent from Boris Epshteyn to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, suggesting that Epshteyn is Co-Conspirator 6. The Russian-born Epshteyn has been with Trump’s political organization since 2016 and was involved in organizing the slates of false electors in 2020. Along with political consultant Steve Bannon, Epshteyn created a cryptocurrency called “$FJB, which officially stands for “Freedom. Jobs. Business.” but which they marketed to Trump loyalists as “F*ck Joe Biden.” By February 2023, Nikki McCann Ramirez reported in Rolling Stone that the currency had lost 95% of its value.

Since the indictment became public, Trump loyalists have insisted that the Department of Justice is attacking Trump’s First Amendment rights to free speech. Indeed, if Giuliani’s unhinged appearance on Newsmax last night is any indication, it appears that has been their strategy all along. Aside from the obvious limit that the First Amendment does not cover criminal behavior, the grand jury sidestepped this issue by acknowledging that Trump had a right to lie about his election loss. It indicted him for unlawfully trying to obstruct an official proceeding and to disenfranchise voters.

Today, Trump’s former attorney general William Barr dismissed the idea that the indictment is an attack on Trump’s First Amendment rights. Barr told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “As the indictment says, they're not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can even tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. All conspiracies involve speech. And all fraud involves speech. Free speech doesn't give you the right to engage in a fraudulent conspiracy.”

Rudy Giuliani has his own troubles in the news today, unrelated to the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. His former assistant Noelle Dunphy is suing him for sexual harassment and abuse, and new transcripts filed in the New York Supreme Court of Giuliani’s own words reveal disturbing fantasies of sexual domination that are unlikely to help his reputation. (Historian Kevin Kruse retweeted part of the transcript with the words, “Goodbye, lunch.”)...
"Birds of a feather" with Donny & Rudy over this sexual assaulting of women stuff, aye? And apparently maga is just fine with it all. Let me tell you folks, they will make excuses for him no matter what he did/does/says.

Trump proved an investigation into his campaign was necessary with his own public bragging to do just that, and ever since then too.
Orange Vomit tried to deter the investigation and witnesses at every turn, another good reason to take look and keep looking.

At the end of the day, Trumpy never measured up to Hillary's bravery by testifying himself. To this day, he and his magafants claim that he is above the law because of his political status. It's time to rain on that parade!

Jan. 6 rioter who Tucker Carlson guest said was a fed is arrested by the FBI
WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump fan who participated in the Jan. 6 attack and then was the subject of a conspiracy theory on Tucker Carlson's former Fox News show was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday.

Rally Runner, formerly known as Daniel Donnelly Jr., was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri, according to court records. Runner faces five federal charges, including obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.

Back in 2021, Joseph McBride, a lawyer who was then representing several Jan. 6 defendants, said on Carlson's show that Runner was "clearly a law enforcement officer" and an "agent provocateur" who had only dressed up as a Trump fan as part of a scheme to make Trump fans look bad. In fact, Runner was a real Trump fan, as well as a St. Louis Cardinals fanatic who ran around the stadium during home games, thus his name change. He was also a big admirer of Tucker Carlson and said in an interview last year that he was disappointed that Carlson would spread false information.

"Disappointed is an understatement," Runner said. "For years I believed Trucker was a responsible reporter focused on stopping 'Fake News' just to be hit with this story."

McBride, when first informed of Runner's real identity in late 2021, said he did not “need to be right" in everything he claimed, and that he was “theorizing things” and trying to win the public relations battle.

“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro. I don’t care,” McBride said. “I don’t give a s— about being wrong.”
I'd bet this trumpian lawyer is in with the other, probably biased, arm chair, fox legal scholars, currently trying to spin the blame for the attempted coup :laugh:

Trump not only GOP official facing new election interference charges this week
Hours before the former president was indicted on Tuesday, two Michigan GOP officials were arraigned after an investigation into allegations of attempting to tamper with election equipment. Matt DePerno, who ran as a Republican for state attorney general in 2022, and former state Rep. Daire Rendon are close Trump allies and face charges that include undue possession of a voting machine, willfully damaging a voting machine, conspiracy to commit undue possession of a voting machine and false pretenses.

Those are only the latest charges for the Michigan GOP. Last month, the state attorney general's office charged 16 Republican officials for their role in an attempt to overturn Biden’s victory. Each faces eight charges tied to forgery and conspiracy for acting as a fake elector for Trump. Additionally, Ryan Kelley, a real estate broker who finished fourth in the 2022 Republican gubernatorial primary, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally entering a restricted area on Jan. 6 after he participated in the Capitol riot.

More than 60 Secret Service officers and special agents sustained multiple injuries in three days worth of violent clashes stemming from protests demanding justice for George Floyd in Washington, D.C.

The uprisings overflowed from Lafayette Park and continued near the White House on Saturday night and early into Sunday morning. Protesters in the area had taken to the streets since Friday to condemn police brutality.

Some demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers and vandalized six Secret Service vehicles, the agency said in a statement on Sunday.

Protesters threw bricks, rocks, bottles, fireworks and other items at officers and some Secret Service personnel were also “directly physically assaulted as they were kicked, punched and exposed to bodily fluids,” the statement added.

At least 11 employees were treated at local hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries.

“No individuals crossed the White House fence and no Secret Service protesters were ever in any danger,” the agency said.

President Trump said he “couldn’t have felt more safe,” from inside the White House on Saturday as agitated protesters defaced property and burned flags nearby.

D.C. police helped equip Secret Service agents with riot gear, including helmets, which are not a usual part of their protective gear, Chief of Police Peter Newsham said on Sunday.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser pleaded for protesters to remain peaceful and not attack law enforcement.

“We certainly recognize and empathize with the outrage people feel following the killing in Minneapolis last week. The killing of George Floyd wasn’t the first. People are expressing outrage and demanding action,” she said. “We also recognize that we are proud of our city and do not want our city to be destroyed.”

“The Secret Service respects the right to assemble, and we ask that individuals do so peacefully for the safety of all,” the agency said.

Well, we do know of an event that happened in late May of 2020, when tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter supporters tried to rush into the White House (for who knows what purpose) and overwhelm Secret Service agents, all in the name of honoring a career criminal named George Floyd.

Remember Mr. Floyd? He once engaged in a home invasion in 2009, pointing a gun at a pregnant woman during this robbery.

So what happened that fateful night in Washington D.C. back on May 31? A full-blown insurrection in the name of a black career criminal…

These insurrectionists set fire to the 205-year-old St. John’s Church right across from the White House as well, all part of a true uprising in the name of a black career criminal.
So more than 60 Secret Service agents were injured in an event completely forgotten from the summer of 2020. What happened next? Corporate America gave Black Lives Matter $10 billion as tribute to the shock troops of establishment.

Yes, there was an attempted siege of the White House in late May of 2020, but it’s an event we aren’t supposed to remember.

It’s all about who/whom when it comes to perceived acts of insurrection or literal attempts to invade the White House injuring scores of Secret Service agents.

Oh, and Chris Evans: not one Secret Service agent opened fire on the massive crowd of black people during the Black Lives Matter siege of the White House in late May of 2020… so we already know of the ‘perceived’ carnage if they hadn’t been white. It adds up to scores of injured Secret Service agents, because shooting one black protester would have only enraged the conflict to the nth degree.

Meanwhile, a white woman was gunned down by an agent of the state on January 6, 2021…

i mostly don't post in the politics. but i thought hey they forgot about this.

I would say that sitting presidents can't invoke mobs to attempt to stop congress by violence, and then sit around for hours, stoking the flames, while the violence ensues.

Quite the contradiction between Trump’s responses to BLM protesters, and his maga mob on 1/6/21...like night and day I'm afraid.

The protests that were violent in DC in May 20 over Floyd, were spur of the moment reactions to a continued perceived injustice resulting in a death. Nobody planned all that though, and that's a major difference between the two events you mention.

The protests in DC lasted for three weeks and were mostly peaceful after the tragic start in May. On the other hand, Trump is still threatening to upend the constitution and become dictator, and his followers are still calling for violence towards that end.

Donald Trump Could be Disqualified From Running in 2024 by Supreme Court
By James Bickerton On 8/11/23 at 6:57 AM EDT
The argument is made by law professors William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, from the University of Chicago and the University of St. Thomas respectively, in a 126-page report. They argue Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election amount to "insurrection" thus making it unconstitutional for him to run for the White House again under the 14th Amendment, unless he receives permission from two-thirds of both the Senate and House of Representatives.

To the horror of his twisted, fascist, delusional, cult...The Orange Vomit has finally been indicted for his treason... :fubird:

Today a grand jury in Washington, D.C, indicted former president Donald J. Trump for conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. The charges stemmed from Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A grand jury is made up of 23 ordinary citizens who weigh evidence of criminal activity and produce an indictment if 12 or more of them vote in favor.

The grand jury indicted Trump for “conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted and certified by the government; “conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified”; and “conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted.”

Trump is ineligible to hold any federal office. The others who have aided and given comfort like MTG and Ted Cruz, Gym Jordan, ect. all need to be removed from their positions.

New Article On Insurrection, Rebellion, and Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment
Here is the abstract:

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three's full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation.

Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications.

Third, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, Section Three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them. This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, the Due Process Clause, and even the free speech principles of the First Amendment.

Fourth, Section Three covers a broad range of conduct against the authority of the constitutional order, including many instances of indirect participation or support as "aid or comfort." It covers a broad range of former offices, including the Presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.

And from the Introduction:

"Section 3 has long since faded into history."

- Eric Foner[1 Reports of Section Three's demise are greatly exaggerated. It turns out that Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment remains of direct and dramatic relevance today—a vital, fully operative rule of constitutional law with potentially far-reaching contemporary real-world consequences. Section Three remains in legal force, and has a broad substantive sweep.

It was the DNC that colluded with foreign agents to influence the 2016 election, and they conjured up the Trump Russian Collusion hoax as a projective diversion of what they were all doing.
This is why Hillary said that they would all hang if he were elected.
Everything transpiring after that was part of the cover up. The Collusion hoax, the impeachment, probably covid, the 2020 election, and the J6 over-reaction, along with now 4 indictments. Not mentioning numerous other targeted republican people and factions. All manufactured by the DNC, Globalist protagonists and corporations, and of course the main stream media.

Former President Accuses General of Treason.
The former president of the United States—and a leading candidate to be the next president—insinuated that America’s top general deserves to be put to death.

That extraordinary sentence would be unthinkable in any other rich democracy. But Donald Trump, on his social-media network, Truth Social, wrote that Mark Milley’s phone call to reassure China in the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”

6 years probation, agrees to testify against co-defendants, and is not allowed to speak to other defendants or the media about the case.

A plea to misdemeanor charges signals that prosecutors see high value in her testimony. Trump should be nervous. and it's likely she'll be a witness in the federal case too.

The charges she pled to regarding tampering with voting machines is the tip of the iceberg about what she knows about the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. We know from testimony before the J6 Committee that Trump wanted to appoint Powell as a Special Counsel to investigate "election fraud." This was a delay tactic to prevent the counting of the electoral votes on J6 hoping that Republican state legislatures would then determine their was fraud and replace the slate of Biden electors with Trump's. The appointment didn't happen because every member of his White House Counsel's Office threatened to resign and Trump backed down.

But Powell and Trump had an alternate plan they put into effect. But that plan needed the electoral count to be delayed on J6. Trump's mob almost pulled it off for them.

Powell said Nancy Pelosi wanted to file a brief opposing her attempt, but says that either Kevin McCarthy or Steve Scalise somehow blocked her from being able to do that.

Powell then said, "everything then broke loose," referring to the insurrection on J6. Had the electoral count been delayed, that could have played into Powell's hands with her attempt to get Alito to take up the case. However, she noted that her lawsuit then became moot because of the actions of Pelosi:
"She had to really speed up reconvening Congress to get the vote going before Justice Alito issued an injunction to stop it all, which is what should have happened."

Pelosi's [and Mitch McConnell] determination to immediately reconvene Congress after the insurrection to resume the electoral count was absolutely crucial to stopping Trump and Powell's plan.

This shows specifically why Trump wanted the electoral count to be stopped and why he refused to take any actions to stop the riot. A delay was exactly what his lawyer, Sidney Powell, was hoping for while she anxiously awaited Justice Alito to issue an injunction to stop the count.

Judge Tanya Chutkan hands down her latest Jan 6 case sentencing. Once again, she gives the sentence recommended by prosecutors. She declines recommendation from defense. And once again, she gives lengthy remarks about the horrors of Jan 6

Low-level, misdemeanor Jan 6 case of Stacey Stephens, 57, who pleaded guilty. Stephens sought probation and said she was only in Capitol to keep an eye on her mother who was there.
Judge listened to Stephens remarks.. then said “I don’t hear remorse”

Defense had argued Stephens was in Capitol to tend to her “elderly mother” who was amid crowd. Prosecutor argued mom was still capable of making long March to Capitol from Ellipse and breach restricted grounds at Capitol Up the stairs. Amid an angry mob of thousands

Defense wanted probation or home confinement.
Probation office recommended probation
Prosecutors wanted 14 days jail
Judge Chutkan sentenced Stephens to 14 days jail

Judge Chutkan leaned into the trauma and fragility of democracy from Jan 6

She tells Stephens:
“I don’t hear remorse for the collective trauma this country has suffered”
“I don’t see the recognition of the terror and fear”

Judge Chutkan, who has frequently championed the people (especially the civil servants) of Washington DC did so again. She said the ability of people to come here to advocate for causes “is one of the fantastic things about Washington”

Chutkan says the victims of Jan 6 include the Capitol Hill workers “who had to hide under their desks, calling their families to say goodbye”

And she mentions police who’ve since left the force or died by suicide

Judge tells Stephens: “You’ve accepted responsibility, but I don’t see any recognition” of the impact on the victims.

Chutkan then invokes a phrase she’s used frequently in these cases. “You’re not here being sentenced for your political beliefs”

Chutkan leans into her view of the Insurrection:

“The events of January 6 came as close as we will come to the overthrow of a lawfully elected government”

Once again.. including in a misdemeanor case… Judge Chutkan gives a lengthy, unscripted and emphatic set of remarks about the damage of Jan 6. And once again, she hands down a stiffer sentence than sought by defense

Chief Yogananda Pittman manipulated Donald Trump to tell everyone to go to the capital and he would join them.

Chief Yogananda Pittman is responsible for Trump tweeting from the White House : “Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done.”
Resulting in a violent surge to overtake the building.

Chief Yogananda Pittman was the one in touch prior to and coordinating the proud boys' part in directing the patriots storming the capital.

Chief Yogananda Pittman was in cahoots with Lauren Boebert for her tweets. *

Chief Yogananda Pittman manipulated John Eastman into presenting the fake elector scheme to president Trump.

Chief Yogananda Pittman is the one responsible for the actual existence of the fake elector slates presented to Congress for Pence to consider. And delivered them personally.

Chief Yogananda Pittman left two pipe bombs near the Capitol the day before the Jan. 6 riot.

Chief Yogananda Pittman is responsible for Trump doing nothing for hours to diffusing the riot.

BREAKING: Jack Smith has gone straight to SCOTUS on the question of presidential immunity for Donald Trump's Washington, D.C. charges and he's seeking to expedite the matter.

Trump is claiming presidential immunity.

Special counsel Jack Smith has petitioned the Supreme Court to determine if Donald Trump possesses immunity against criminal prosecution for offenses allegedly committed during his tenure as president. This move aims to maintain the trial's schedule, set for early March. Smith is urging the Court to bypass the federal appeals process and promptly address a key aspect of the case.

Or the Sham impeachment investigation on Joe Biden?

But President Trump's criminal investigation didn't just come out of thin air. Wasn't manufactured. Didn't happen in a vacuum. There are Boundary Conditions as a physicist would say.

It came out of the events of January 6th. The Constitution was disrupted The peaceful transfer of power was halted.

Hundreds of eye witnesses and millions others witnessed it happened. There are pictures. The American people wanted answers.

The January 6th committee was the Discovery part. What happened, who done it and recommendations.

The criminal investigation didn't pick some rando off the street. As our police state does when driving black.

Mueller:
“We did not address ‘collusion,’ which is not a legal term. Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy."
Did you know that the entire Russian Collusion hoax...
A hoax when there was concrete evidence. The Justice Department’s independent inspector general had "found that law enforcement officials had sufficient basis to open the Russia investigation and acted without political bias."

A couple of examples of evidence:
Trump officials taking a meeting with a Russian agent offering Putin’s help with the campaign.
And happened right in front of our eyes, Trump going on television to ask Russia to steal and publish Hillary Clinton’s emails.

It's as if ya didn't read the Mueller report or even glance at the Durham or bipartisan senate report. : :crazy:


Mueller declares his Russia report did not exonerate Trump
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source= ... mtWle661vA
"If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller declared.

The Durham, Mueller and the bipartisan Congressional report all agreed the evidence for collusion was disturbing.

Concrete evidence:
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort passed internal Trump campaign information to a Russian intelligence officer during the 2016 election, a new bipartisan Senate report concludes.
The findings draw a direct line between the president's former campaign chairman and Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign.
Manafort, who was later convicted for financial fraud crimes, briefed Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik on the campaign's polling data and how the Trump campaign sought to beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.

But the report showed extensive evidence of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and people tied to the Kremlin — including a longstanding associate of the onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, whom the report identified as a “Russian intelligence officer.”
The Senate report was the first time the government has identified Mr. Kilimnik as an intelligence officer — Mr. Mueller’s report had labeled him as someone with ties to Russian intelligence. Most of the details about his intelligence background were blacked out in the Senate report.

Mr. Manafort’s willingness to share information with Mr. Kilimnik and others affiliated with the Russian intelligence services “represented a grave counterintelligence threat,” the report said.

The report suggested that Mr. Manafort was compromised by his financial ties with Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs, who themselves were connected to Mr. Kilimnik, the Russian intelligence operative.
It cited Mr. Manafort’s ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch described as a “proxy” for Russian state and intelligence services who claimed that Mr. Manafort owed him money. And it described at length Mr. Manafort’s relationships with a cluster of pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine, who had paid him tens of millions of dollars as a political consultant in Ukraine.
the point is it the investigation wasn't pulled out of thin air. There was evidence for an investigation, hence not a hoax investigation :smoke:

I fully expected you to show up trying to deflect.
I already stated that this topic is not aimed at exonerating Trump from anything, and that my intention was to demonstrate the glaring hypocrisy of the two situations, and how Biden is getting a pass. Yet you come right back and further your efforts to remove the focus from Biden with more of your Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The articles you posted are still touting the Alfa bank connection like it has merit when in fact was a nothing burger, and Sussman knew this prior to approaching the FBI.
The purported links between these two servers, the indictment provides some additional new information as far as I can see on what happened there. So allegedly, it was DNS lookups between Russian Bank-1 and an email domain mailone.trumpemail.com. And these pings happened in May of 2016 to July of 2016. And there's been a lot of innuendo and speculation about what that could have been. And the indictment says, this is really interesting, it says that the FBI investigation revealed the email server at issue was not owned or operated by the Trump Organization, but rather had been administered by a mass marketing email company that sent advertisements for Trump Hotels and hundreds of other clients.
And notable and important, the indictment points out that all the way back in the summer of 2016 as this tech executive and his employees were working on this they seem to understand it was the end of the story. The tech executive himself at one point notes that this particular pang between these two servers appears to be a red herring. Various of his employees, and the indictment quotes their emails, says that they have real problem here, that this isn't very credible. But they nonetheless massage it into information that they hand off to Sussmann who himself then puts it into this series of white papers which he delivers to the FBI.
So if your'e claiming that the FBI knew Sussman was working for the Clinton Campaign, that's only further evidence that they were either incompetent or complicit in their handling of the case. The FISA problems also brought attention to this, as the FBI failed to claim the campaign connection to the court. You just dismantled their claim that they were unaware of any campaign ties.
Sussman even billed the campaign for his time while he was at the FBI submitting his white papers.
the context there is that if you are sitting in an FBI office and somebody comes to you and says I have this information that suggests that a presidential campaign is colluding with Russia essentially through this complicated internet data server pings, it would be useful for the FBI to know whether the person bringing that information is doing so completely unaffiliated to anything else or is really on the payroll of the other campaign.
Well, you especially want to know the latter because it gives you a different incentive, right? And that's, I think, what this is all about. As Kim said, Mr. Sussmann was acting for the campaign. I believe the indictment says that he billed the campaign for his meetings with the FBI. You know, his defense now is that he was just representing this tech executive who supposedly found this traffic. But it's also interesting, the tech executive is supposedly in an email saying that he was counting on the top cybersecurity job in a Clinton administration.
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/ ... clnk&gl=us

It is misleading to say that the Trump campaign gave polling data to Russia without adding some context.
Mueller's team said in its report that Kilimnik was believed to “have ties to Russian intelligence,” and that Kilimnik had received the Trump campaign information from Manafort, but did not say what he did with it after receiving it.

A bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2020 said coordination between the Trump campaign and a Russian operation to hack and leak Democratic emails may have existed through Kilimnik but could not be established with certainty. The report drew no conclusions about what the Russians ultimately did with the data.

The officials did not disclose when or how the U.S. came into possession of the new intelligence about Kilimnik, including whether or not the information was developed during the Trump or Biden administrations. The officials did not identify the source or type of intelligence that had been developed.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Treasury declined to comment.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/nation ... p-n1264371
Considering Kilimnik was only recently labeled as a Russian Spy, Manafort may have been unaware of his nefarious Russian ties. Trump only used Manafort for six months so proving he even had knowledge of the exchange is skeptical, especially if Trump is as big an idiot as you claim, with the bleach tweet.
Trump said a lot of stupid shit, you'll get no argument from me on that.

January 6th Hearings

Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:46 am

Likely due to the circumstances at the time. The amendment ratified during reconstruction after the war between the states.
In the logical sense, a sitting POTUS couldn't have a rebellion against himself. In those times rebellions and insurrections were carried out willfully planned and executed by armed factions, not a half a million voters w picket signs.
Arguably, he could likely be included in the officers of the US clause. I just found it odd that it was left to interpretation.

Another argument of interpretation will be the usage of the term "insurrection".
3 key points, one being the lack of weapons needed for such an endeavor. In the world's most gun owning country, one would think a few more would have been utilized.
Second, nobody in government invoked the Insurrection Act, which codifies how insurrections should be quelled. I would think that the POTUS would carry this out, but the lawyers at the time probably never imagined "self insurrection" by a sitting POTUS.
Third points are that although the word was insisted upon and repetitiously used to label the events of the day, no one has been charged with crimes within the laws dealing with "rebellions and insurrections".

Insurrections these days seem to be a "social construct" and if you want a protest to be an insurrection, then it will be promoted into acceptable verbage.

Main point is that every part of the Colorado decision requires considerable interpretation, which may not stand up to the USC.

Instead you're beating a dead horse that there wasn't an insurrection? Trump and January 6th is a quintessential textbook of insurrection. If ya paid attention in this thread It all came out in Congressional hearing on January 6th. The intent, the plot and implementation.

No it is defined as a
"A rising or rebellion of citizens against their government, usually manifested by acts of violence."
A rebellion is defined as
"The taking up arms traitorously against the government and in another, and perhaps a more correct sense, rebellion signifies the forcible opposition and resistance to the laws and process lawfully issued."
I see them as both applying a deliberate use of force against a government.
Seeing that the only shot fired came from the police, I think insurrection is misapplied here.
It was a protest that became a riot. It happened all over the country for 2 years during the "mostly peaceful protests".
It's all a word game to shape a narrative to destroy the opposition. The Establishment engaged in this from the onset of 2016.
In consideration that either sides conduct was unprecedented in degree of commitment, not too much was written on this type of crisis prior to it's occurrence.
I found this article helpful, it's establishment press so it is more supportive of the establishment's narrative, but still conveys what points will be argued when this matter reaches SCOTUS.

The insurrection was Trump planning the fake electorate slate scheme and when Pence didn't go along with it Trump sent his Patriots, that he assembled for a "wild time", to to the capital to stop the the transfer of power with physically force. Trump texted them about Pence and then they immediately stormed the building temporarily halting the peaceful transfer of power.

That was the insurrection not the Patriots caught up in it as pawns for Trump's game You keep conflating the two, the Patriots' protest and Trump's scheme. Disingenuous.

Although since the office of the POTUS does not fall under the the limit of the 14th Amendment. THUS ruled Trump can stay on the ballot despite the insurrection.

The second ruling is where thery are cognizance of being Uncharted Territory whether Trump was an officer of the United States of America thus limited by the 14th Amendment.

OK2: "It's gonna be seriously violent attack. We've got enough guns to breach and hold the building."
OK1: "I don't think we need any guns until after the siege."
OK2: "Well what will we use for the initial invasion?"
OK1: "These sticks and fire extinguishers is all we'll need until we've secured the building."
OK2: "Then can we use the guns? I'm all itchy."
OK1: "That's the plan"

Florida venue cancels Marjorie Taylor Greene event after learning of its Jan. 6 focus
A central Florida venue has canceled an event that was to have featured Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., after it learned the event was intended to commemorate the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The event was set to be hosted by the Republican Party of Osceola County at the Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee. It was originally pitched to Westgate as a small book-signing event featuring Greene, without mention of Jan. 6.

The event details said the "Occasion" was the “3rd Anniversary of Jan 6.”

The cost to attend was $45 to $1,000 to meet Greene and "receive a signed copy of her book.”

Greene has long supported Trump's false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and she has downplayed the severity of the Jan. 6 attack — which left five people dead and about 140 police officers injured. In 2022, Greene said that had she organized the events that day, the rioters would have "won" and been "armed."

“I want to tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won, not to mention, it would have been armed," she said. Greene later said her comments were "sarcasm."

The prospect of an event commemorating Jan. 6 drew immediate pushback from Democrats in the state.

“Just another day in Florida where the local Republican Party in Osceola County is hosting an 'anniversary' event to mark January 6th and Marjorie Taylor Green is the 'special' guest,” Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani posted on X. “Was really hoping this was a joke when I first saw it.”

Former President Donald Trump Is Not Immune From Prosecution in Election Subversion Case, D.C. Circuit Rules

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a unanimous opinion issued this morning, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed that former President Donald Trump is not absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for “officials acts” he undertook while serving as president. 
https://www.democracydocket.com/news-al ... uit-rules/

Barring a pause of today’s decision, special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal case against Trump can proceed to the trial stage. Following the trial, a jury will ultimately rule on whether or not Trump is guilty of the crimes alleged in the indictment — all of which relate to his effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. 
"We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count."

BREAKING: A treasure trove of documents related to Donald Trump's plans to stay in power have been unearthed, revealing plans that included a complicit Vice President and "loyal" Supreme Court justices.

And the January 6th chaos would have lasted days, not just hours.

According to Josh Kovensky of Talking Points Memo, conservative lawyers attempted to cobble together a legal framework that would allow Trump to remain in power, in spite of the will of the people. Kovensky describes their plans, provided by Trump attorneys who have flipped on him like Kenneth Chesebro, in chilling detail.

"...their theorizing, in early stages, went even further than previously known, imagining a January 6 that lasted for not hours but days, an intervention by Supreme Court justices that they presumed to be loyal to President Trump, and a vice president who upended his constitutional duties, allowing the U.S. to descend into chaos," Kovensky wrote.

Many of the means by which they planned to orchestrate the coup are already known, including having multiple slates of fake electors and having a rogue VP Mike Pence refuse to count Biden's votes.

But the intended involvement of Supreme Court justices should, at the very least, invite scrutiny of decisions regarding insurrection and January 6th expected from the highest court soon.

...regarding insurrection...
This term gets thrown aboot quite loosely.

My understanding is that key elements of the legal definition are missing.

- Organized - This is debatable, and would call into deeper scrutiny the roles of suspected agent provocateurs like Ray Epps, who were certainly involved in some level of organization, as opposed to Trump's alleged "organizing".

- Armed - From my understanding there were no arms used/possessed by any protesters.

"In insurrection there is an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society."
https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/insurrection/

I feel that these criteria have not been met and that prosecutors know this, because...
"...out of the thousands of charges filed by the federal government related to Jan. 6, no one has been charged with the crime of insurrection..."
https://www.9news.com/article/news/poli ... acd5f7fbfb

Dude!!! just after I linked Chesebro under oath detailing the organized plan. :facepalm:
Since you didn't read and missed the significance, this is evidence to be presented in court.

1. Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro testimony reveals HOW it was an organized. Discussd, planned and executed. Chesebro being the idea man.

Really there were no arms? Been debunked 16,000 times. Video of people firing pistols in the air. Visual confirmationof weapons carried to the Capitol. There were weapon caches.
The magnometer were deterring some of the crowd because they were armed until Trump ordered the magnometers removed to let those in with guns.

2. The riot was not the insurrection. :facepalm:
The Patriots were just Pawns in one small part of the insurrection. As been admitted they weren't even necessary until Pence didn't play along. A contingency. Remember Trump's tweet and then the breaches into the building were executed. Call logs deleted. This has all been detailed in the January 6th committees hearings. If you had paid attention.

Chesebro is a serious Witness. He layed it out straightforward, unbiguous and from the horse's mouth. While the January 6th committee already presented this plan it was cobbled together from other testimony.
The plan would have seen the Trump campaign pushing Republican lawmakers to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win not just on Jan. 6, but for days afterwards. GOP legislators would have feigned confusion over competing slates of electors, paralyzing Congress as the Trump campaign brought increasing pressure on the Supreme Court to step in and resolve the election in their favor. 

To do this, Chesebro formulated various ways to invalidate the Electoral Count Act, the law laying out the procedures for Congress to certify the election on Jan. 6. Critically, the law places tight limits on how long individual lawmakers can debate disputed electoral votes...

How aboot a very different picture of "organized" activity that took place that day...

FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated (Aug 20, 2021)

So what was organized then?
Evidently law enforcement was well aware of potential perceived threats...

Government watchdog report finds FBI, Capitol Police identified but didn't share "credible threats" before Jan. 6 (Feb 28, 2023)

...and evidently the DoJ has admitted to at least:
8 FBI CHS
19 HSI CHS
13 DCMP agents
https://wlos.com/news/nation-world/prou ... jan-6-riot
18 FBI agents
20 DHS agents
https://nypost.com/2023/09/19/fbi-lost- ... -official/
Just those total 78 'feds' imbedded in the crowd. I saw an analysis that put the total figure of all CHS and all agents, from all agencies under the DoJ's purview to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 200.
And they were definitely "organizing"...

Right, As your Washington Examiner article confirms the riot at the Capitol January 6th was not an insurrection.

President Trump's scheme to use fake electors, conspirator congressman, the VP, and militias to delay the certification Joe Biden as president elect.

That's THE insurrection.

Regardless of whatever the FBI CIA KGB BLM was doing or not doing, president Donald J Trump was scheming to retain power illegally. From long before January 6th to the day TRUMP told them to go to the capital and fight like hell.

BREAKING: In shocking twist, Judge Aileen Cannon has just REJECTED Trump’s arguments that the central statute in the indictment, the Espionage Act, was impermissibly vague and should be struck down entirely.

The two page decision by Judge Cannon followed a nearly daylong hearing in Federal District Court in where she entertained arguments from Trump’s legal team. Jack Smith says the former president violated that law 32 times by removing a trove of highly sensitive classified material from the White House after he left office. Trump’s lawyers had claimed that certain phrases in the text of the law — for instance, its requirement that prosecutors prove defendants took “unauthorized possession” of documents “relating to the national defense” — were so ambiguous and open to debate as to be unenforceable.

On December 19, 2022, the Committee voted unanimously to refer Trump and the lawyer John Eastman to the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecution.[6] Recommended charges for Trump were obstruction of an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to make a false statement; and attempts to "incite", "assist" or "aid or comfort" an insurrection.[7] Obstruction and conspiracy to defraud were also the recommended charges for Eastman.[8]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_ ... surrection.

Eastman subsequently was charged on nine counts.

Trump was subsequently charged for attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election:

one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States
 applies to Trump's repeated and widespread efforts to spread false claims about the November 2020 election while knowing they were not true and for allegedly attempting to illegally discount legitimate votes all with the goal of overturning the 2020 election, prosecutors claim in the indictment.

one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding was brought due to the alleged organized planning by Trump and his allies to disrupt the electoral vote's certification in January 2021.

one count of obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding is tied to Trump and his co-conspirators' alleged efforts after the November 2020 election until Jan. 7, 2021, to block the official certification proceeding in Congress.

one count of conspiracy against rights refers to Trump and his co-conspirators alleged attempts to "oppress, threaten and intimidate" people in their right to vote in an election.

The truth about the Jan. 6 rioters that Donald Trump calls 'hostages'


The way former President Donald Trump tells it, the men and women who stormed the Capitol because they believed his lies about the 2020 presidential election are "hostages" and “unbelievable patriots” who are being mistreated by the justice system.

But an NBC News review of hundreds of cases against Jan. 6 defendants found that just 15 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack are currently being held pretrial at the order of federal judges. That number of pretrial detainees has decreased in recent months, as more and more Jan. 6 defendants have taken plea deals or been found guilty, and as federal judges have been hesitant to hold new arrestees in pre-trial custody more than three years after the attack.

Trump has called Jan. 6 detainees “hostages” and even opens rallies by playing a recording from the “J6 Prison Choir.” Trump has said he’ll pardon “a large portion” of the rioters “very early on” if he wins in 2024 and recently vowed to “free the Jan. 6 Hostages” as one of his “first acts as your next President.”

Below are the current pretrial Jan. 6 detainees identified by NBC News, the charges they face and the status of their cases. All of those who have been arraigned so far have pleaded not guilty; four are still awaiting arraignment.

Daniel Ball: Charged with assaulting law enforcement and throwing an explosive device

The device flashed and exploded multiple times on the officers in the tunnel. One of these explosions included a loud boom that caused all the officers and some rioters/protesters in the crowd to flinch in unison,” according to an FBI affidavit issued in support of Ball’s 2023 arrest.

One officer described a hearing impairment that lasted months. Another officer described the pain in their ears as 10 out of 10. A third officer said they temporarily lost hearing, a fourth said their ears rang for three hours, and a fifth said there was a continued ringing in their ears for days.

“For many other officers that were interviewed, it was the most memorable event that day,” the FBI said in an affidavit. Some officers who were defending the tunnel at the time of the explosion reported feeling the pressure of the blast, according to the bureau. Some thought it was a fragmentation grenade and anticipated pain or significant injury. Some thought they were going to die. Some officers suffered psychological trauma from the explosion.

Ball allegedly returned to the battle after the explosion, throwing a wooden furniture leg, the FBI said. Ball was allegedly aiming for an officer but struck a rioter instead. He is now charged with using the explosive device to commit a felony and with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Why he’s in jail: Ball has a criminal history and is accused of using an explosive device at the Capitol.

John Banuelos: Accused of firing a gun during the Capitol attack

Months later, in July 2021, Banuelos fatally stabbed a 19-year-old in a public park in Utah but was not charged after he claimed self-defense, police said. But he did tell police in Utah that he’d been at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and that he’d had a gun on him, police records show.

Why he’s in jail: Banuelos has an extensive criminal history, including five convictions, according to prosecutors. He also allegedly threatened Americans who identified him to the FBI and is charged with firing off a gun at the Capitol.

Online sleuths helped identify Tim Boughner, a Michigan man they called #BlackPufferWhiteScarf, using a prior mugshot from a 2017 arrest. He was arrested on Jan. 6 charges in December 2021 and faces three felony charges, with federal authorities alleging he assaulted officers with chemical spray.

Why he’s in jail: On top of his extensive criminal history and risk of flight, a judge ruled that he needs psychiatric treatment before he’s competent to stand trial.

Dominic Box: Arrested on DUI charge while out on pretrial release in his Jan. 6 case

Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III, Jonathan Pollock, and Olivia Pollock: Went on the run in Florida

Jonathan Pollock had been a fugitive for 2.5 years, since his initial indictment in the summer of 2021. Olivia Pollock and Hutchinson had been fugitives since the summer of 2023, when they failed to show up to their trial.

All three defendants wore tactical gear on Jan. 6 and are charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers as well as theft of government property. Jonathan Pollock is accused of the worst violence of the bunch, with the government saying he grabbed an officer by the waist and pulled the officer down a set of stairs, punched another officer in the face and stole another officer’s police shield.

Hutchinson, authorities said, charged the police line and began throwing punches, while Olivia Pollock attempted to strip an officer of their baton and elbowed the officer in the chest.

Why they’re in jail: They were fugitives before their capture and have been ordered detained until trial.

Edward Kelley: Charged with plotting to murder FBI employees after his release in Jan. 6 case

Anti-abortion activist Edward Kelley of Tennessee was initially arrested in May 2022 after the FBI identified him as the fourth rioter to breach the Capitol. In addition to assaulting a law enforcement officer outside the Capitol, the government alleges Kelley used a piece of wood to break a window, jumped through the window and then forced open a fire door, allowing the first mass of rioters to flood inside the building and chase Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up the stairs, toward the Senate chamber.

Why he’s in jail: He was initially released on his Jan. 6 charges but then allegedly plotted to murder the FBI employees who were investigating him.

Jacob Lang: Unapologetic rioter charged with repeatedly assaulting law enforcement

Jacob Lang — who can be seen on video hitting law enforcement officers with a baseball bat and riot shield — faces multiple charges of assaulting law enforcement officers, as well as felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding. He was arrested in January 2021.

“I was the leader of Liberty today,” Lang wrote on Facebook after the riot, wrongly tagging himself at the White House. “Arrest me. You are on the wrong side of history.”

He said the day after the attack that it was “war” at the Capitol, not a mere protest.

Lang, the government notes, hosts a weekly podcast for a conservative conspiracy website from behind bars and paints himself as a “political prisoner.” Lang has cycled through lawyers and recently hired Anthony Frank Sabatini, a Republican and former Florida state representative who is running for Congress.

“I don’t play the watered-down version of Jan. 6, the ‘there was mistakes made that day.’ No, no, I think that was well within our rights and constitutional duty to overthrow the chains of tyranny,” he said in one podcast.

Why he’s in jail: A judge cited overwhelming evidence that he repeatedly assaulted officers and a continued willingness to engage in violence.

Christopher Maurer: Charged with swinging a pipe at officers

The government says that Maurer was part of the lower west tunnel assault and tried to pull a police shield and strike officers who were helping another rioter who was experiencing a medical emergency. Maurer exited the tunnel but later returned swinging a long metal pipe at officers, according to the FBI. He is charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers with a deadly and dangerous weapon, among other charges.

“F--- YOU A--HOLES!” Maurer allegedly yelled after the attack, holding up both of his middle fingers.

Law enforcement observed Maurer near Falmouth, Maine, with a 1999 gold Ford Expedition that he appeared to be living out of in early 2023, shortly before his arrest.

Why he’s in jail: Maurer, who was living in a van, conceded to detention in March 2023.

Jeffrey McKellop: Former Special Forces soldier accused of attacking police

Jeffrey McKellop, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier and military contractor, is accused of repeatedly attacking law enforcement officers, including with a flagpole. He was arrested in March 2021, and the government argued that the gas mask-wearing rioter “weaponized his extensive military training and experience” during the Capitol attack. The government provided a photo that, it says, shows the officer McKellop “stabbed in the face” with the flagpole.

Why he’s in jail: Was ordered held by a judge to undergo competency evaluations before trial.

Christina Legros: Found by a judge to lack the mental capacity to care for herself

Edward Richmond Jr.: Previously killed an Iraqi civilian, yet had an AR-15 in his home

Edward Richmond Jr., known to online sleuths as “Buff Lightyear” due to the outfit he wore — “black helmet, goggles, shoulder pads, an orange two-way radio, and a Louisiana State Flag patch,” per the government — during the Capitol attack, faces a host of charges for his actions that day.

The 40-year-old was arrested in January in Louisiana, and a federal magistrate judge initially ordered him released. The government appealed to a federal judge in Washington, arguing that Richmond showed up to the Capitol “dressed in full tactical gear, carrying a baton” on Jan. 6 and “stayed at the front of the mob fighting against police for almost two hours,” carrying a police riot shield, helping take furniture out of broken windows and carrying a large wooden plank to use against officers. The government noted Richmond was previously “convicted of manslaughter after shooting a handcuffed Iraqi cow herder in the head with his rifle” and was sentenced to three years of confinement and dishonorably discharged from the military.

Why he’s in jail: He was banned from owning weapons after being convicted of killing a handcuffed Iraqi civilian, but authorities say an AR-15 was found in his home.

Taylor Taranto: Showed up at Obama’s house with guns and ammo after Trump posted the address

When Walls-Kaufman was sentenced in June 2023, ultimately receiving 60 days of incarceration after admitting he “scuffled” with officers, Taranto showed up to the sentencing hearing. Taranto had been living out of his van and often showed up to the city jail, where supporters of Jan. 6 defendants hold regular, livestreamed vigils. Days after Walls-Kaufman’s sentencing, Taranto showed up outside the home of former President Barack Obama in the nation’s capital after Trump posted a screenshot that included the address on his social media website. (Trump has not commented publicly on the case.) Federal authorities arrested Taranto and said he illegally had weapons and more than 400 rounds of ammunition in his van.

He is now facing charges related to Jan. 6 as well as for the illegal weapons he is accused of having near Obama’s home. Taranto has not yet entered a plea; but during his detention proceedings, his attorneys argued that his mental health needs would be better addressed at home with his family.

Why he’s in jail: A judge ordered Taranto held after he showed up outside Obama’s home with weapons in his van.

Gregory Yetman: National guardsman charged with attacking officers who fled from the FBI

Gregory Yetman, a former New Jersey National Guard police sergeant, was arrested after a 48-hour FBI manhunt in New Jersey in November 2023. Online sleuths had referred to Yetman as #GreenHeavySprayer, because he was seen on video cited by the FBI using a large chemical sprayer to assault a line of police officers. Yetman faces several charges, including felony charges of assaulting officers and obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, as well as misdemeanors. Yetman, according to authorities, fled into a wooded area when the FBI showed up at his home and later turned himself into a police station dirty and unkempt.

Why he’s in jail: He was ordered held after he fled the FBI, is accused of assaulting law enforcement with chemical spray and is set to take a plea deal.

Trump loses bid to halt Jan. 6 lawsuits while he fights criminal charges in the 2020 election case
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump lost a bid Thursday to pause a string of lawsuits accusing him of inciting the U.S. Capitol attack, while the former president fights his 2020 election interference criminal case in Washington.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington denied defense lawyers’ request to put the civil cases seeking to hold Trump responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on hold while the criminal case accusing him of conspiring to overturn his election defeat to President Joe Biden plays out.

It’s the latest legal setback for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, whose trial in a separate criminal case related to hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign began this week with jury selection in New York.

The lawsuits brought by Democratic lawmakers and police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 seek civil damages for harm they say they suffered during the attack, which aimed to stop Congress’ certification of Biden’s victory.

Trump has claimed he can’t be sued over the riot that left dozens of police officers injured, arguing that his words during a rally before the storming of the Capitol addressed “matters of public concern” and fell within the scope of absolute presidential immunity.
Washington’s federal appeals court ruled in December that the lawsuits can move forward, rejecting Trump’s sweeping claims that presidential immunity shields him from liability. The court, however, said Trump can continue to fight, as the cases proceed, to try to prove that his actions were taken in his official capacity as president.

‘It can happen again’: Judge set to preside over Trump trial delivers her toughest Jan. 6 sentence to date

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sentenced a Maryland man to five-and-a-half years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has handed down her harshest Jan. 6 sentence to date — five-and-a-half years — to Scott Miller, a Maryland man and former Proud Boys leader who assaulted multiple officers in a violent attempt to breach the Capitol.

Chutkan based her sentence, delivered on Friday, in part on Miller’s “aggressive” actions at the Capitol but also on his private writings that called for racial and religious violence against minorities and Jews. She said the evidence of his “violent ideology” — his embrace of Nazism and his purported belief that Washington, D.C., residents should be executed — troubled her despite Miller’s insistence that he had disavowed those beliefs soon after Jan. 6.

Chutkan, who is in line to preside over the criminal trial of Donald Trump for his bid to subvert the 2020 election, emphasized her belief that the Jan. 6 mob attack was “close to as serious a crisis as this nation has ever faced.” She lauded officers who, though outnumbered and ill-equipped, fought to protect the building.

“They faced horrendous circumstances. They were assaulted, spat on, beaten, kicked, gassed,” Chutkan said.

This maga stooge Bannon should've been in jail two years ago.

Appeals court upholds Steve Bannon’s conviction for defying Jan. 6 probe
Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail in 2022 by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols after a jury convicted him of two counts of contempt of Congress. But Nichols, a Trump appointee, agreed to postpone the jail term while Bannon appealed the decision, agreeing that the complex mix of laws that govern executive privilege and testimonial immunity for White House aides could be overturned by higher courts.

But a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Bannon’s argument, saying the former aide and prominent podcaster had no legal rationale for his blanket refusal to appeal before the Jan. 6 committee — and that long-standing case law.

“Because we have no basis to depart from that binding precedent, and because none of Bannon’s other challenges to his convictions have merit, we affirm [the conviction],” the panel ruled in a 20-page opinion.

The judges on the panel included Barack Obama appointee

Ooo, if that triggered you that much...
...then this will likely be worse...
To be triggered means to all of a sudden get upset.
That doesn't describe my continuous repulsion since the moment it became news that they wanted to delay, and then hopefully dismiss, this breach of national security.
Just trumps public comments, that he can keep and declassified anything he wants, should also be disqualifying.


I am angry about it and I'm gonna stay angry about it. This is on the media and the democrats and the military too.

Most likely not going to get full immunity, they're signaling as much. It has been effectively delayed though.

Let's see, what's going to happen?

● He will be found guilty of at least some of his charges in the current case.

● He won't get complete immunity from the SC but they have effectively delayed probably all the other cases.

● it's going to be way closer than it ever should, but Biden is going to beat him a second time again by millions of votes.

● He's going to claim it was fixed and maga is going to lose their shit

● Some maga will commit violence for dump,
It won't go well for them

● Biden will be sworn in again as president *with a great record first term)

● Trump will finally face juries in his criminal matters and found guilty on most charges.

● He will die of old age, outside of jail, while all the appeals and loopholes play out

Note: I can't predict the future. I ain't no Nostradumbass! :roflmao:

Sorry Bob, the other guys win the meme wars.

To be fair, the Decomracts can blame themselves if the election is close (or they lose) because - just like with Hillary – they are blind to the fact that a large portion of voters are sick of establishment politics.

It's not just a US affliction, either. Around the world, voters are showing they want conviction politicians who will clean up the environment, fight corruption and reverse the wholesale transfer of wealth from poor to rich.

All of these things – when they get to a tipping point – are what cause revolutions. Perhaps that's what were starting to see now.

This is the usual word salad from out of touch globalists "Guns, Gays, and God.. that would be a woman's right to choose.
Here is a concise logical and much more realistic rebuttal.

The crowd screaming about the threat to democracy, literally are the threat to democracy.

sorry to interrupt, and i hate to be the one to tell you this, but just to let you know, you've been fooled by X-twitter propaganda here
check out 12:15 min+ for 1 minute of a very different version of Biden leaving the church, obviously this is the real version


and here's quite a different version of that rally as well, which starts right at the beginning for several minutes,
with the great escape of thousands of magas ducking out really early (many were asked what time it was as proof)

We do not always see eye-to-eye but I think we both know (from years of experience arguing with each other!) that you don't win people over by simply telling them they are wrong.
Even if you're right :toker1:

I won money in 2016 betting against Hillary. Not because I liked Trump, but because I could see that people didn't like Hillary.

The same happened during the 2019 Australian election. The polls had the progressive party leading the conservatives all the way up to voting day. However, there was a key poll – preferred prime minister – that showed the progressives lagging.

They ignored that poll at their peril. Because what the polls were saying was "We want to vote for your party and policies, but we don't want to vote for you – you don't deserve to be prime minister." And so they lost.

Anyone other than Hillary would have beaten Trump in 2016 (just as anyone other than Bill Shorten would have won the "unloseable" 2019 Australian election).

Yet here we are again: The Establishment vs The People once more in 2024.

People don't support Trump because he's good, or moral, or smart, or the right man for the job. They support him because he's anti-establishment. They support him BECAUSE of all the stupid shit he does – just like they do!

For all his flaws, he comes across as human. He says what he wants, does what he wants, and acts out all the ways that frustrated voters wish they could act out – or at least see their chosen representatives act in a way that makes them more relatable and upsets the status quo.

Trump is a piece of shit. But we've all been pieces of shit in our lives.

And what do the Democrats do? They say "Well that's wrong, that's bad" and the people simply reply "Well you're a bunch of hypocrites because you do it, too. The difference is, Trump doesn't hide it like you do. He doesn't give a shit because he does't play by your rules. And neither are we!"

A vote for Trump is a protest vote of the highest order. They are not voting for a man, they are voting against THE MAN.

Why can't smarmy Democrats see that? I mean, I'm on your side – I'm progressive – but even I know that no amount of pointing out Trump's flaws is going to dent his chances until you provide an alternative who is not just more of the same.

There has to be someone better than a septagenerian career polititian out there who can beat Trump at his own game.

Roller this has nothing to do with the upcoming election. You have a couple of threads yourself jes for that.

Win or lose Trump & cronies tried to negate the American people's vote with their fake electoral scheme. You don't like hearing about it that's why the otherism.

Betcha you respond with more maga twitter faction fake newz that has nothing to do with January 6th. Or maybe you'll deflect by critiquing predictability. Lol

Although purty entertaining revealing your distress over it.
