Attorney General Merrick Garland on January 6th Investigation: "We do not do our investigations in public. This is the most wide-ranging investigation and the most important investigation that the Justice Department has ever entered into...We have to get this right."
When asked about the possibility of charging a former president related to January 6th, Garland says, "No person is above the law in this country."

Can you feel it, Ted?
Every day that passes, Trump is one step closer to being bookends to the failed Biden* Presidency*.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin called out Representative Chip Roy of Texas for his views on the 2nd Amendment, in which Roy implied that the amendment was designed so that the people can violently overthrow the government at will.

I think we all know what the Secret Service did last year
Secret Servicegate is slowly coming into sharper focus. Here's what we know:
• On January 16, 2021, Congress sent a "broad" preservation and production request to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service. Another was sent on January 25. Both requests were aimed at preserving records related to the 1/6 insurrection.
• On January 27, as part of a system upgrade called Intune, "USSS began to reset its mobile phones to factory settings as part of a preplanned, three-month system migration. In that process, data resident on some phones was lost."
• In February the inspector general of HHS, Joseph Cuffari, asked the Secret Service for text messages related to the 1/6 insurrection. In June the IG issued a request for all text messages sent and received by 24 specific Secret Service agents between December 7, 2020 and January 8, 2021.
• The Secret Service eventually responded with a single text message.
• But what about backups? According to CNN, "A source familiar with the matter told CNN that employees were instructed twice to back up their phones." Employees were given instructions on how to do the manual backup but apparently the instructions were widely ignored.
• Today the Secret Service said that its search for further messages had turned up nothing. They were gone for good.
Do you remember those torture videos that the CIA destroyed in 2005? Or the night in 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a jail cell and we later learned that the guards were all napping and his roommate had been transferred and all the CCTV video had been erased due to a "technical error"? Sound familiar?
Nothing about the Secret Service's story makes any sense. They were doing a system-wide upgrade but didn't do a system-wide backup? They instead instructed their agents (twice) to back up their phones themselves, but apparently not a single agent did? Then, literally two days after getting a preservation request from Congress, they just went ahead with the system reset without bothering to check if it would erase anything Congress was interested in?
No. That's Brooklyn Bridge stuff. One way or another, it's hard to believe anything other than the obvious: those texts were damning enough that the Secret Service knew it would get in more trouble for keeping them than for erasing them — no matter how much trouble they'd get into for erasing them.
And they were right. Sure, they're taking some heat right now, and they'll take some more. But if they stick to their story that it was just a big ol' accident, there won't be much that anyone can do.
In the meantime, common sense combined with the fact pattern of the case tells us that these text messages must have been genuinely explosive. But because they're gone, the public perception will always be a shoulder shrug and the "coincidence" story will end up being the official narrative.
It's just unbelievable. Literally.

Now that Trump's records are as unavailable as his tax returns:
Former President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he, too, would like the Secret Service's records on the Capitol riot to be publicly disclosed.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he wanted these records to come to light "far more" than the January 6 panel investigating the Capitol riot.
Trump said these "Secret Service tapes" would debunk the "ridiculous and libelous story of me supposedly choking a big and strong Secret Service Agent around the neck" on the day of the riot.
"Likewise, there was no throwing of food, and I did not want to be surrounded by strangers 'with guns' during my 'Peacefully & Patriotically' speech," Trump wrote.
The unavailable records would have proved Trump is not a fat lying sack of shit. Too bad, so sad for Trump that he can't prove he is a completely different man in private.

Trump could have been choked by a secret service agent right in front of you and you'd tell everyone that Trump choked the dude.
Nobody gives a shit about your opinion. We're done listening to you people.
You've whined your little bitch asses into complete irrelevancy.
Do enjoy Trump Presidency number two. You deserve it.

I’ve spent the past 12 years studying the breakdown of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism around the world, in places such as Thailand, Tunisia, Belarus, and Zambia. I’ve shaken hands with many of the world’s democracy killers.
My studies and experiences have taught me that democracies can die in many ways. In the past, most ended in a quick death. Assassinations can snuff out democracy in a split second, coups in an hour or two, and revolutions in a day. But in the 21st century, most democracies die like a chronic but terminal patient. The system weakens as the disease spreads. The agony persists over years. Early intervention increases the rate of survival, but the longer the disease festers, the more that miracles become the only hope.
American democracy is dying. There are plenty of medicines that would cure it. Unfortunately, our political dysfunction means we’re choosing not to use them, and as time passes, fewer treatments become available to us, even though the disease is becoming terminal. No major prodemocracy reforms have passed Congress. No key political figures who tried to overturn an American election have faced real accountability. The president who orchestrated the greatest threat to our democracy in modern times is free to run for reelection, and may well return to office.
Our current situation started with a botched diagnosis. When Trump first rose to political prominence, much of the American political class reacted with amusement, seeing him as a sideshow. Even if he won, they thought, he’d tweet like a populist firebrand while governing like a Romney Republican, constrained by the system. But for those who had watched Trump-like authoritarian strongmen rise in Turkey, India, Hungary, Poland, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Venezuela, Trump was never entertaining. He was ominously familiar.
