Cheney: Jan. 6 Committee Has ‘Firsthand Testimony’ Trump Resisted Pleas To Stop Attack | Talking Points Memo

:notes: On the 12th Day of Christmas Liz Cheney gave to me
12 criminal indictments of sedition,
11 indictments of wrongful death and negligent homicide,
10 charges of obstructing Congress,
9 indictments of tax evasion…

Y’all get the idea. Feel free to finish the song.

Seriously he didn’t like the weird ones. Thought it made the whole business look bad. Fucking lunatic.

I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of people in his inner circle have turned on him. From my understanding, to know him well is to hate him, so I imagine there are more than a few who couldn’t wait to tell all they knew. And then there are WH staffers who the family probably treated like furniture when they weren’t abusing them. I’m sure they have plenty to say too.

I bet he didn’t like that they grabbed some of the attention away from him and onto themselves.

No he’s not. Malignant Narcissism is not an affirmative defense to criminal charges anywhere that I know of.

Now does he feel
His secret murders sticking on his hands.
Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach.
Those he commands move only in command,
Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.

I watched the Watergate Senate Hearings, live, in real time, and I remember clearly, how the Republicans on the committee went from trying to defend their President, to, when the testimony became overwhelming, asking very hard, very pointed questions, and ultimately calling for Nixon’s impeachment. They mirrored the electorate, at large.

Public Hearings are, I hope, going to doom Trump, Trumpism, and all Trump’s apologists now in Federal Office.

Doom would be nice. I would settle for de-normalize.

Or participated in Chain Migration…well, except for the special case of Melania’s parents, which wasn’t Chain Migration but really something that might be termed Gold Bracelet Importation.
