    Translation - let Republicans get away with crimes or they will cry they are being oppressed.

    Oh, the Lincoln Project can't hurt this country like a Traitor in Chief can. We need that crook and criminal locked up so he can't even think about running again.

    Who cares what the GOP Propaganda channel says? They spurt so much false truth only a fool would believe what they have to say. They have proven that over and over. When I hear someone quote them I feel sorry for them being so naive.

    Why is the only source for her being raided by the FBI on Tucker Carlson?

    You know why - it's a lie and it didn't happen.

    Heck yes, because they had probable cause that those communications contained evidence of a crime.

    That's how it works.

    That's what makes this so amazing. Trump's team's personal communications contain evidence of a crime.

    Let's also note that the issuing of the subpoenas was NOT FROM A LEAK FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BUT FROM TRUMP'S TEAM.

    Jan. 6 committee believes former Secret Service agent Tony Ornato was responsible for attempts to discredit Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony



    The longtime Secret Service agent who ran former President Donald Trump's security detail left the agency last month, saying in a statement that he retired in order to pursue a career in the private sector.

    Ornato emerged as a key figure in Hutchinson's bombshell testimony before the committee in June.

    Hutchinson testified that Ornato told her Trump had tried to grab the steering wheel of the vehicle he was traveling in and lunged at a Secret Service agent while demanding to be taken to the Capitol during the chaos of January 6, 2021, as he said, "I'm the effing president!"

    In the aftermath of Hutchinson's testimony, anonymous sources began to reject her version of events in the press. Several media outlets reported that Secret Service agents were willing to testify that Trump did not try to lunge at them or take control of the vehicle on January 6 — though none have done so publicly.

    Now, Jan 6 committee member Adam Kinzinger is accusing Ornato of being one of the anonymous culprits behind the backlash.

    A man who was seen crushing a Metropolitan Police Department officer in a door frame during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has been convicted of nine offenses, seven of them felonies, the Justice Department said Tuesday. Patrick McCaughey III, 25, of Ridgefield, Connecticut, and two others were convicted on multiple charges in a bench trial by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, an appointee of former President Trump.

    Tristan Chandler Stevens, 26, of Pensacola, Florida, and David Mehaffie, 63, of Kettering, Ohio, were found guilty of five felony charges and two felony charges, respectively.

    McCaughey was captured on video using a riot shield to pin MPD officer Daniel Hodges in a doorway during the riot. Hodges could be seen screaming out in pain as he was being crushed in the doorway as rioters attempted to enter the Capitol building. In an interview with CBS News, Hodges said that in videos, you can see McCaughey grabbing his gas mask, beating his head against the door, and ripping it away.

    "I definitely considered that that might be it," Hodges said. "I might not be able to make it out of there."

    Hodges, along with several other law enforcement officers, also testified before the House select committee investigating Jan. 6. He repeatedly called the rioters "terrorists" throughout his opening statement.

    He said that as his head was being "bashed" by a rioter, he feared that "at best" he might collapse and become a liability to his colleagues. "At worst," he added, "be dragged down into the crowd and lynched."

    He said, "I did the only thing I could do and screamed for help."

    The seven felonies McCaughey was convicted of are: three counts of aiding or abetting or assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers, including one involving a dangerous weapon; one count of obstruction of an official proceeding; one count of interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder; one count of disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and one count of engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

    He faces decades in prison.

    Stevens and Mehaffie were each acquitted of obstruction charges.

    McCaughey, who was 23 at the time, was arrested Jan. 19, 2021 in South Salem, New York, according to The Associated Press.

    McCaughey, who has both U.S. and German citizenship, was unemployed and lived with his mother in Ridgefield, an affluent town along the New York border, public defender Jason Ser said at the time. He was arrested at his father's second home, where he was quarantining, the AP reported.

    McCaughey will be sentenced on Jan. 26, 2023, according to the Justice Department.

    While maga terrorists do not represent all of Republicans, it's safe to say that inaction or sweeping it under the rug by our republican politicians is y many folks will b voting blue. Coupled with abortion and what not.
    Literally before an election just replay the clips of these maga terrorist and say never again, vote blue.

    Dems should really use fear tactics to whip up dem voters. Instead of no to illegal immigrants, just say no to maga terrorists.
