The Most Damning Jan 6th Revelation Yet | Talking Points Memo

TPM Article Topics

As I have noted in other recent posts, much of the recent ‘news’ about the insurrection has not been terribly new. It’s repackaged versions of things we knew or additional evidence and detail. This story published last night in the Post is one of the biggest revelations I’ve seen to date. John Eastman is the Federalist Society right wing law professor who wrote up the legal gloss for the President’s coup plot. It created the connective tissue joining the coup plot within the government with the paramilitary violence that broke out on Capitol Hill on January 6th.

I dunno if Discobutt is going meta, but the big revelation here is a comment thread on one of Josh’s posts.

McCarthy was the source of those quotes from the conversation with the President. It was reportedly anger and expletive filled. Of course he later fell in line.

Scrawled on a Men’s Room stall, somewhere in Trump Tower: “Kevin licks boot.”
