Breaking 1-06-21: MAGA terrorist attack on Capitol

Yes. It seemed like a clear cut second option.

I think that also could be enhanced by time and reflection and being outside the bubble Trumpians.

But the problem is that the clear cut purpose is to cast doubt on her testimony. They call the hearing a Soviet style show trial and other editorial crap.

But to me, it only strengthens her testimony. The fact that she was a Trump loyalist and working on the staff at the Trump white house adds credibility to her testimony.

All those words and not much said…. Bravo.

 

I feel like something important was said. That despite the article, nothing in it changes the credibility of Hutchinson's testimony.

 

If someone can value testimony under oath as the same or lower than someone blaring their mouth out loud, it's...

 

I don't think anyone valued it the same as testimony under oath. Maybe the Federalist hoped people would value it the same.

 

A Jan. 6 defendant is running for office in Florida — from jail

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/07/28/january-6-candidate-florida/

excerpt:

On the anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, a flag-waving crowd gathered outside the Florida jail where an alleged participant was being held.

Jeremy Michael Brown, a retired Special Forces soldier charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct on restricted Capitol grounds, addressed them through a phone call played over loudspeaker. The 47-year-old Tampa resident and member of the extremist Oath Keepers group decried the “tyrannical government,” read a lengthy passage from the Bible and portrayed himself as engaged in a fight for “the liberty of every American.”

Then Brown made an announcement that sent the crowd into cheers.

“Today, Jan. 6, 2022, from the maximum security section of the Pinellas County jail,” he said, “I, Jeremy Brown, announce my candidacy for Florida state House of Representatives.”

Within a few months of that speech, he had collected enough signatures to qualify as a candidate and run a long-shot campaign for Florida’s District 62 — all from jail. As the sole Republican candidate, Brown, who has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial on felony and misdemeanor charges, is set to run against the winner of the August Democratic primary. The newly drawn district includes heavily blue areas; about 72.4 percent of voters there went for Biden, according to the Tampa Bay Times, which reported on Brown’s campaign this week.

It’s unclear whether legal issues could impede Brown’s candidacy or ability to hold public office while he remains in jail. Lawyers are reviewing that question, the Florida Department of State’s Division of Elections told the Tampa Bay Times.

“We don’t know, the state office doesn’t know and to be honest, I don’t care,” Brown said in an interview with the newspaper. “I’m gonna run until they tell me no. It’s almost like our government is incompetent.”

He definitely belongs in jail. I doubt he belongs in office.

 

More missing texts. Covering up and destroying evidence isn't a good look.

This is all new information from the January 6th committee.

 

I am always dumbfounded when people get busted over texts like this.......are you not smart enough to have seen how this plays out in other cases, don't text something you should not text.......there is normally a record to go back and find out what you did!! You cant trust anyone to keep a "secret" and with a text its just like an e-mail, it can come back and bite ya. It took me a few times to not do things on my work phone, but once I got my hand slapped I didn't do it again. Sorry HR Lady, I did not realize I could not surf p*rn on my company issued work phone at 9:05am on a monday am LOL

 

All those texts are still at whatever carrier they were part of, just get them there and then NAIL THEM ALL TO A WALL if they were part of the conspiracy.

Allegedly, burning paper too. Perhaps the past admin was confused and thought an enemy was soon taking over and so acted prudently by deleting, burning, flushing away, and even eating records. Technically breaking federal laws, but it was for a higher good - to protect real Americans.

Meadows burned papers after meeting with Scott Perry, Jan. 6 panel told - POLITICO

Then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows burned papers in his office after meeting with a House Republican who was working to challenge the 2020 election, according to testimony the Jan. 6 select committee has heard from one of his former aides.

Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked under Meadows when he was former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, told the panel investigating the Capitol attack that she saw Meadows incinerate documents after a meeting in his office with Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). A person familiar with the testimony described it on condition of anonymity.

 

...or, perhaps as an overarching theme in all this...

...(aside from a planned conspiracy to attempt to overthrow a duly elected President...and the subsequent actions taken to cover up said conspiracy and attempt)...

...we might note the comfort and ease with which so many were willing to go so far down this dead-end road, with the Donald as tour guide or bus driver, depending on how highly you're likely to rate his cognitive faculties.

None of these people who knew what was going on (to whatever extent that happened to be) is hardly anything like "patriotic" or "conscientious" or "honorable", to me now.

All most of these people are trying to do now (and by people, I mean those closest to the Donald administratively) is avoid prosecution and jail time...as it seems more and more likely an outcome for some of these people, as this delineating of sequential facts harbingers.

As it happens, there may actually be something to this "...duty...honor...country..." stuff, since we must, as it seems, make allowances for human cognizance whenever it does decide to rear its head...

...better late than never, in so many words...

...good (or bad) isn't something that you say...or don't say...

...it's something you do or don't do.

"Orange man bad" doesn't even begin to do the Donald any justice in any of this.

The fact that he had a lot of help, though (both inside and outside of the White House) tends to put an awfully fine point on watching what kinds of company you're keeping.

...if marching up and down the street side-by-side with guys with anti-Semitic slurs on their shirts or Confederate flags draped over their shoulders, on the way to your very own insurrection-party-and-overthrow-the-government-beer-bash doesn't get you wondering what in the hell you're doing...

...then whoever says what whenever they say it ain't gonna mean much...

 

probably all types of self-snitching and self-incrimination in those missing texts

 

I bet Trump used the voice function to text. I can't see him actually texting when he has trouble holding a glass of water. He was probably screaming into his phone and promising pardons to his GOP mob.

 

Rudy Gulliani is calling non extradition countries to see if they will let Trump relocate there, and also pretend to be their president.

DD

 

LOL, yeah right. Trump thinks he's got the justice system in his pocket. Time to bring down the mob like good old Rudy did in NY before he joined Trump's mob.

 

Sadly the judge didn't allow the prosecution to add the terrorism enhancement charge they wanted. Also prosecutors asked for a 15 year sentence. But this guy who was carrying a gun and zip ties only got 7 years.

It's still the longest sentence so far.

https://news.yahoo.com/first-jan-6-...to-more-than-7-years-in-prison-201039433.html

A federal judge denied the Justice Department's request for a "terrorism enhancement" that would've resulted in an even longer prison sentence.
