House and Senate committees are getting a clearer picture of the depth and breadth of former President Trump’s campaign to enlist the Justice Department in his effort to overturn the results of last year’s election.
Um, just how many more alarms have to sound before the indictments are issued?
It rained hard on the donkey farm, and everyone was scrambling to cover their ass.
He later added that he “disagreed with things that President Trump suggested the Justice Department do with regard to the election. So we did not do them.”
As far as Trump’s ultimate criminal culpability in all this, we’re going to see “We did not do them” as his last line of defense. Sure, he suggested, cajoled, maybe even ordered criminal acts. But they weren’t performed, he was thwarted, everyone stood up to him and said no. The no harm, no foul defense.
“Hey, you can’t blame a guy for trying.”
“The president was persistent with his inquiries, and I would have strongly preferred that he had chosen a different focus in the last month of his presidency,” Rosen reportedly said in his opening statement.
I cannot fully express how much I fucking hate this type of polite, institution-esque equivocation. You know what he did, Rosen. You know what he is. For the sake of the country, cannot you not just speak plainly?
Fun Fact: Donkeys hate to get wet. Makes their skin itchy.
This Jeffrey Clark fellow seems to have crawled out from under a Trumpian rock and wormed his way into the highest echelon of the DOJ. The “Peter Principle” operates in every large organization, but it is distressing that a cockroach like this could rise so high in so vital a department of the government. Of course, this country did elect the worst possible person to its highest office, so I guess this is but another example of American exceptionalism.
Sounds like this traitor needs a public hanging! Are those 1/6 Coup gallows still available?
In one Dec. 7 email, FBI second-in-command David Bowditch referenced the change in policy, telling Donoghue in the message: “Everyone understood that before the election we should not do these types of inquiries, but we are in a place right now in this election cycle in which these types of allegations are important to vet out, particularly when ‘many’ (my edit) in the ‘country’ (my edit) are still ‘questioning’ (my edit) the ‘results’ (my edit).”

It is my fervent hope to see some of these vile men in the dock before too long. As always, the wheels of Justice grind slowly…
Rosen’s trying to save himself.
Seems like sufficient probable cause to subpoena all the documentary evidence needed, as well as records from cell providers, TFG’s burner phones, etc. BTW, what is the current state of executive privilege with regard to the Executive using burner phones? ETA: Does use of a burner phone help to establish mens rea?
Indeed. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.
Haul Jeffrey Clark before the committee and put him under oath. He will lie his head off which will get his law license revoked and then throw his ass in jail.
Those that did not see this coming with the appointment of Barr remind me of that deaf ,dumb and blind kid…sure play a mean pinball…
Just how many more alarms have to sound before all Senate Democrats vote for a filibuster carve-out for legislation to protect voting rights and election results?
May he fail miserably…
Does he feel complicit in some way??? If not in the Big Lie, then in some other capacity, like everything else?
Exactly. TFG has already indicated intent by saying “Just say the election was corrupt - leave the rest to me.”
