“Do you believe the Justice Department should indict the former president?”

“All of them, Katie.”

“Byung J. Pak, former U.S. attorney in Atlanta who Trump attempted to boot before his sudden resignation”

The Asian-American slurs from Trump’s cult afterward will be as appalling as they are predictable.

(Far more appalling than that erroneous pronoun in the quote.)

Nor can I. This has been among the longest periods of national uncertainty in the nation’s history.

I am certain that what many have seen as Biden’s soft-pedaling his words and actions are really efforts to cut through the severe divisions that Trump has been directly and indirectly a part of.

Stepien is Chris Christie’s guy. Christie still harbors presidential ambitions.

Liz Cheney (R-WY) indicated the second public hearing will zero in on Trump and his advisers’ knowledge that “he had, in fact, lost the election.”
… … …
Therein lies intent.

GUILTY!!!

Sounds like another great line-up of fact witness testimonies. The Jan. 6th team are going to produce two more hours of much-see-TV tomorrow morning.

Be there or program it on the Tivo !

Per “Connecting the Dots”––– there’s one point missed when speaking of the preparation and – to some extent – the collaboration between the PB & the Oathkeepers.

They both had structured their attacks on a specific “do not bring guns” plans–– trudgeons, paramilitary gear & comms equipment, body armor & helmets yes: but no guns (Oathkeepers’ arsenal at the hotel and, if I’m not mistaken, in the trunks of 2 cars were at separate locations intentionally, to be brought once the Insurrection Act was invoked (under the auspice of the prepared posing that 1/6 was Antifa & BLM). But guns were not the weapon they were using to succeed in their attack.

The mob that wasn’t specifically involved in either group, who were led – by Trump, by pre-planning as a part of the day’s events, or by PB at the Ellipse with bullhorns, -– some/most of the rallygoers at the WH Ellipse DID INDEED come to Washington with the understanding of participating in an attack, or at least a march (illegal march) on the Capitol–– they were a critical weapon vital to Oathkeepers’ & PBs’ structured plan: PB/OK had counted on shepherding the massive glut of thousands to overhwelm the police forces. Even if unwitting participants, they were a specifically chosen potent weapon that Oathkeepers & PB didn’t need to ferry across from Virginia or bring in their cars. But they were indeed the orchestral weapon that the composers relied upon within their planned attack.

I myself would like to know if there were some sort of coordination with
• 1) elements of the Q-Anon community, as per that Q-Anon-sweatshirt leader freak from Iowa, who led the point of entry confronting Officer Goodman.
• 2) the Ali Alexander / Stop the Steal fake groups which had obtained 1/6 permits for mini-rallies right next to the Capitol. They obtained the right for “50 people” to be RIGHT THERE next to the Capitol, and these people flooded points of entry. Who were among their number? Ali was in the Willard Hotel–– did he coordinate with the PB & Oathkeepers, too? Or did PB/OK and Ali coordinate separately via WH channels?

And damnit–– how did they know which 1st floor windows had not gotten the recent security upgrades? Those specific windows were distinctly targeted.

This is from CNN, a quote from Chris Stirewalt, fired from FOX, who is also going to testify:

Stirewalt wrote in a Los Angeles Times piece after his firing that the refusal by many of Trump’s supporters to believe the election results was a “tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation.”

Information malnourishment? This guy could be entertaining.
