OT, but here’s Captain Smarm again, telling us in another interview that features not a single moment of sincerity, genuineness or intellectual honesty precisely why he jaunted off to Israel…

I’m not sure what you mean by that. But, I do believe that Biden listens/reads and remembers what was said the day before.

This is really an amazingly bad take. Bookmarked so you can retract it in the short-term future.

I’d say it turned them into a bunch of anti-law enforcement rioters and coup plotters.
Neither of which has a good look or a bright future.
ETA: It’s kinda like they bought the whole plan from Acme Products.

When it comes to musing over what justice will befall a white male conservative for some transgression it’s always safe to err on the side of lazy and lax prosecution, followed by either an acquittal or some bullshit sentence with little to no jail time. Virginia had Bob McDonnell dead to rights on all sorts of financial crimes and he walked. Being guilty of a crime means little unless you’re poor, a minority, or both. If Stewart Rhodes was black and was leading some Black Panther sort of organization, and the insurrection crowd we all viewed had been mostly black Antifa type belligerents, he’d have already been charged, in jail, and a trial scheduled. And maybe then on the way to your 20 year sentence.
White guy, law degree, high public profile, access to good lawyers and money. He’s not serving extensive time.

It would not surprise me if Rhodes has been an informant all along.

This explains why Ted Bundy walks the streets as a free man, yes?
The feds have arrested roughly 500 people, to date, for insurrection-related crimes. Upwards of 100 of them (rough estimate, not running down the actual numbers) have been detained pre-trial, most of them on charges that would ordinarily result in prison sentences measured in single-digit years. DOJ is, by all available indications, taking this shit extremely seriously.

I wouldn’t say it’s outside of the realm of the possible, but, if so, we’re off in the land of agents provocateurs, with plenty of precedent from Cointelpro.
I’m guessing that wouldn’t be helpful to the government’s case.
I also can’t wrap my head around the sense of it when Donnie’s appointees would have to have been running the departments that would’ve backed up such an operation.

Maybe.
But what if the guy does in fact cooperate and coordinate the effort against T**** and his administration?
What if he turns the equivalent of State’s evidence and blows the whistle on everything that happened?
If he’s certain to spend those couple of decades in prison (and it won’t be a white collar one either - more like Guantanamo or something worse), he might just tell them everything, no?
Who the hell is advising him legally that he hasn’t already figured this out?

We’ll see just how many multi-year sentences are handed down when the dust settles. My money is on damned few. People assault cops all the time and don’t do jail time by the time their court proceedings are adjudicated, and assault on a law officer seems to be among the most serious charges levied. The trespassing and criminal damaging and interfering with Congressional proceedings are just window dressing on the arrests.

Sorry, what I meant is I’m betting is that his daily briefings center much more around domestic situations that warrant attention than international situations, which is what the original purpose of the briefings were meant for.
Things like Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Q, Michael Flynn, social media chatter, etc. etc.

Once again, my rough estimates:
QAnon tourists: The people who entered the Capitol but didn’t do anything violent and were not armed will get probation or maybe 30-90 days in prison. This is probably 75% of the people charged to date. People who non-violently/unarmed breached the House and Senate floors or high-level offices will get more, but still probably not measured in years.
Insurrectionists: Anyone assaulting cops or insurrecting while armed will do terms measured in years. Jacob Chansley’s flagpole spear is going to keep him in prison for a couple more years. The more overtly violent insurrectionists are going to do upwards of 10 years, maybe more.
Conspirators: The dumb assholes who plotted this shit in advance are going away for a very long time indeed, probably 10-20 years if they’re stupid and malignant enough to take their cases to trial instead of pleading out. Stewart Rhodes is on the high range of that estimate. Roger Stone may be right there with him if some of the underling conspirators flip.

Questions:
- were the oathkeepers and the rest of the mob being used as “insurrectors”? so trumps own people we were going to be excuse to trigger the insurrection act?
- why/when did the next step fail to get triggered? why wasn’t the trigger pulled? or when?
- why hasnt more been made of the trump hostage video? who made him make the first video?
- surely there was some sort of plan that trumps closest group had developed, what was supposed to happen that didnt? no one has any information or reporting on this? zero leaks?
