BREAKING: Justice Department asks judge to keep Trump's search warrant affidavit sealed, citing ongoing investigation

The Justice Department on Monday asked a judge to keep sealed the sworn affidavit underpinning last week’s extraordinary FBI search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence, a document thought to hold key details about the government’s investigation into the potential mishandling of classified materials.

Are you actually able to manage to accomplish anything with thoughts of Trump plaguing your mind still, nearly two years after Joe Biden* took office?

My god dude. Get some help.

In the meantime, maybe cut a few hours of "news" consumption out of your days and go outside and touch some grass. You're completely dissociated from the real world at this point.

Trump voters neither understood this tweet nor did they react sanely, which proved the point:

Gen Michael Hayden @GenMhayden
I agree. And I was the CIA Director

Edward Luce @EdwardGLuce
I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close.

You people are insane. I'm looking forward to the time when we no longer have to listen to you because your bullhorn is taken away.

We're just about there.

Stalin and Mao and Kim Il-sung never killed anyone. They were the saviors of their countries against evil forces. Just ask any true patriot of those three countries. (Funny how many died while they ruled, but not the leaders' fault. According to 6ix, nobody died of covid, so it's nobody's fault.)

Trump's Secret Service learned of a threat to Speaker Pelosi days before January 6th but failed to deliver the info until AFTER the Capitol was attacked — making their deletion of texts even more suspicious.

"The delay in notifying Capitol Police about the threat to the speaker of the House only adds to the impression that the agency failed to do its job, and leads to more questions. Why did the agency wait two days, until after the Capitol had been breached and congressional leaders were in hiding, to pass it along?"

The Secret Service was asked for all telephone texts but it just so happened that every text around January 6th was deleted by the Secret Service. Need I remind you that Trump was in charge of Secret Service? Trump didn't want the Secret Service telling Nancy Pelosi that Trumptards were coming to kill Pelosi on January 6th.

The Democratic chairs of the House Homeland Security and House Oversight committees on Tuesday threatened the Department of Homeland Security inspector general with a subpoena, accusing him of delaying responding to the committee's request for answers regarding missing Secret Service text messages on and around the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

"If you continue to obstruct, we will have no choice but to consider alternate means to ensure compliance," Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, both Democrats, write to Joseph Cuffari in a letter dated Aug. 16. (Cuffari was appointed by Trump, so as expected, Cuffari is still taking orders from Trump by telephone and lying about communicating with Trump.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cuffari

If this story is even true, which is seriously debatable because of all of the nearly immediately debunked media lies coming out surrounding Trump right now, what makes you think anybody is going to care about this when nobody cared about what was in Hillary's 33,000 emails or what was leaked from Hunter Biden's laptop?

Nobody gives a shit.

You've got nothing. You've never had anything.

Brace yourself for Trump to announce he's running after Democrats get trounced in November.

To put it plainly: On January 6, 2021, Pence either acted to preserve the Constitution or he unlawfully seized emergency power from a sitting president. Pence does not want to explain why he used emergency power because it will implicate Trump — and doing so will make Pence unpopular with Republicans. This is the sort of self-serving use of authority that makes emergency power so dangerous.

From a parking garage under the Capitol Visitor Center, then–Vice President Mike Pence ordered the military to defend the Capitol against a violent insurrection. According to a taped deposition of General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pence “issued very explicit, very direct, unambiguous orders” to him and Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller: “Get the military down here. Get the Guard here. Put down this situation.”

This is a problem—one that has been overshadowed by the larger events of January 6. The constitutional authority to call out the military to defend the Capitol is vested in the president of the United States, not in the vice president. Why did Pence seize constitutional authority that wasn’t his? The country needs answers to this question, and it needs them from Pence, not from his chief of staff or his counsel.

In ordinary circumstances, Pence’s actions would be unconstitutional. Indeed, a vice president who usurped the president’s constitutional authority, and the Cabinet and military officers who followed his orders, could be committing an impeachable offense. But these were no ordinary circumstances: With Pence huddled in a secure location protected by his security detail, his actions were almost certainly justified.

Constitutional government depends on following the law, but emergency circumstances may provide for what the 17th-century political philosopher John Locke called prerogative power: power that in ordinary circumstances is unlawful, but that in extraordinary circumstances is warranted. There is a long-standing debate about whether the public should view such power as constitutional because necessary or as extra-constitutional but justified. In “Federalist No. 23,” Alexander Hamilton argued that people should see emergency power as constitutional because “the circumstances that endanger the safety of nations are infinite.” The Constitution, Hamilton insisted, must provide the lawful power for its preservation.

In contrast, Thomas Jefferson argued that people ought to recognize that emergency power is extra-constitutional but justified. As Jefferson famously wrote in a letter to John B. Colvin—the author of the early-19th-century book The Magistrate’s Guide, and Citizen’s Counsellor, who was then writing about Aaron Burr’s treason—“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the highest duties of a good citizen: but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.” For Jefferson, preserving the nation was more important than “a scrupulous adherence to written law.”

Yet, as Jefferson also insisted, the officer who exercises emergency power must justify his actions to “his fellow citizens generally.” For Jefferson, “the good officer” must throw “himself on the justice of his country and the rectitude of his motives.” Whether one sees emergency power from the perspective of Hamilton (constitutional because necessary) or Jefferson (extra-constitutional but justified), it is crucial that the officer who exercises emergency power justify himself to the public. The public must know what constitutional ends the officer thought he was serving and why the circumstances commanded extraordinary action. But Pence has retreated to silence, allowing some proxies to speak for him while ducking the crucial constitutional questions that surround his actions on January 6.

Did Pence think he was acting to preserve the constitutional transfer of power and save the country when it was in danger? Did Pence think that President Donald Trump was threatening the peaceful transfer o

Anthony Ornato, Top Secret Service Official Sought by Investigators for Role in Jan. 6, Retires. As a private citizen, investigators won’t have testimonial subpoena authority to compel his cooperation.

Anthony Ornato, a top Secret Service official embroiled in the January 6 investigation, retired today, just two days before his planned interview with January 6 investigators. The Intercept obtained an email Ornato sent to the deputy director of the Secret Service just after 1 p.m. announcing his retirement as of the close of business on August 29.

Ornato had finally agreed to an interview with Department of Homeland Security investigators on August 31 after multiple attempts to arrange one. According to a memo sent by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General to the head of the Secret Service, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and DHS general counsel, the inspector general had been attempting to interview Ornato since June 29 and spent all of July and much of August following up.

For example, Ornato cited vacation as a reason he couldn’t attend an interview. “I believe my counsel spoke to you and / or your team, but I am traveling out of district on annual leave and am not available on the dates provided,” Ornato wrote in an email on August 24. “When I am back from vacation, I will circle back with you and your team.”

This is one in a string of access issues the inspector general has experienced in relation to January 6, as The Intercept reported last week.

Ornato has indicated that he still intends to attend the interview, according to an email obtained by The Intercept, but since Ornato will be a private citizen, investigators won’t have testimonial subpoena authority to compel his cooperation.

Ornato was a longtime Secret Service agent before President Donald Trump took the unprecedented action of appointing him to a White House position as deputy chief of staff for operations. Congress had also sent document preservation requests to the Secret Service.

The Intercept reported in July that the Secret Service erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2022, after they were requested by oversight officials.

Ornato may have played a key role in the insurrection at the Capitol. On January 6, he reportedly sought to relocate Vice President Mike Pence to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, which could have delayed the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

According to explosive testimony from Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to the House January 6 committee, Ornato told her that he was in the car with Trump when the president demanded to be driven to the Capitol, against advice, and allegedly lunged for the steering wheel.

Ornato has reportedly met with the January 6 committee twice, in January and March, as part of its investigation, discussing Trump’s knowledge of Pence’s location during the unrest on January 6.

After President Joe Biden entered the White House, Ornato was moved to the role of assistant director of the Secret Service’s Office of Training.

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he will "very, very seriously" consider full pardons for the rioters who breached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, if he runs for reelection and wins.

"I will tell you, I will look very, very favorably about full pardons. If I decide to run and if I win, I will be looking very, very strongly about pardons. Full pardons," Trump said on Wendy Bell Radio Thursday, adding: "We'll be looking very, very seriously at full pardons because we can't let that happen. ... And I mean full pardons with an apology to many."

The former President went on to claim Thursday that he's "financially supporting" some Capitol rioters who he referred to as "incredible."

"They were in my office actually two days ago. It's very much on my mind. It's a disgrace what they've done to them, what they've done to these people," Trump continued, not naming who he met with specifically.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a member of the House select committee investigating January 6, told CNN's Victor Blackwell on "CNN Tonight" Thursday night that she found Trump's pardon remarks "shocking," especially after a January 6 rioter was sentenced earlier in the day to 10 years for assaulting a police officer.

Lofgren condemned the suggestion that Trump would provide financial support to Capitol rioters, telling Blackwell, "That he (Trump) would be funding people who tried to, you know, essentially murder the vice president, overturn the election. ... And to say that that is patriotic, to say that those people should get an apology, I'm sorry. That is disgusting."

There is much more to say, but Trumptards have never listened since they were children because, at a certain age, they stopped comprehending what is going on around them:

How Trump Supporters Came to Hate the Police

At the Capitol riot and elsewhere, MAGA Republicans have leaped from “backing the blue” to attacking law-enforcement officials.

One way to think about January 6th is as the consummation, in real time, of a tumultuous shift between two distinct eras of conservatism. Before 2020, most conservatives celebrated law enforcement as the protectors of a system that was, on balance, reliably favorable to their interests. By the end of 2020, after the lockdowns and the election, many conservatives had come to see that system the same way that right-wing extremists did—as corrupt and tyrannical, perhaps even satanic. At the same time, so long as Trump was still in power and weaponizing law enforcement against leftists, neither conservatives nor the police were forced to confront what this meant for their alliance. That reckoning could no longer be avoided on January 6th, and it is understandable that people on both sides of the line persisted in respecting the terms of a compact that was now obsolete.

By Luke Mogelson.
September 10, 2022

In early August, after agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Florida, allies of the former President were quick to villainize the F.B.I. Although the raid had recovered more than a hundred classified documents, at least eighteen of which were labelled “Top Secret,” Republican pundits and politicians questioned its legitimacy and denounced the federal agency as a “gang of dangerous criminals,” “wolves,” the “Gestapo,” “the K.G.B.,” and “the enemy within.” Calls for retribution spread online. A forty-two-year-old Trump supporter named Ricky Shiffer wrote, “You’re a fool if you think there’s a nonviolent solution.” Shiffer then attempted to enter an F.B.I. field office in Ohio, equipped with body armor, an assault rifle, and a nail gun. After triggering an alarm, he fled the scene in his vehicle, and a high-speed pursuit ended in a shoot-out with state troopers, during which Shiffer was killed. Three weeks later, Trump gave a speech in which he called F.B.I. agents “vicious monsters.”

Given the broad support that Republicans have historically enjoyed from law enforcement, their escalating hostility toward the F.B.I. may seem paradoxical. Right-wing extremists, however, have always viewed state agents as pernicious antagonists, and so the institutionalization of that mind-set should come as no surprise as the G.O.P. embraces the ideas and attitudes of its radical flank.


In the early days of the pandemic, as Trump supporters began mobilizing against lockdowns and other public-health measures, much of their rage was directed at law enforcement. On April 30, 2020, heavily armed conservatives descended on the Michigan state capitol, in Lansing. Facing off against police outside the barred doors of the legislature, they denounced the officers as “traitors” and “filthy rats.” Some members of the mob belonged to the Michigan Liberty Militia, whose founder later told me that he had created the outfit in 2015, after “seeing what happened with the Bundys.” Cliven Bundy, an elderly rancher in Nevada, had declared war on the government when the Bureau of Land Management impounded his cattle over his refusal to pay outstanding grazing fees. After a tense standoff in which Bundy supporters surrounded law-enforcement agents and trained rifles on them from nearby hilltops, the Bureau of Land Management released the livestock and withdrew from the area.

Following the incident in Lansing, Mike Shirkey, the Republican Senate majority leader in Michigan, condemned the protesters as “a bunch of jackasses” who had used “intimidation and the threat of physical harm to st

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly told aides in the days following his 2020 election loss that he would remain in the White House rather than let incoming President Joe Biden take over, according to reporting provided to CNN from a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

"I'm just not going to leave," Trump told one aide, according to Haberman.
"We're never leaving," Trump told another. "How can you leave when you won an election?"

Trump's insistence that he would not be leaving the White House, which has not been previously reported, adds new detail to the chaotic post-election period in which Trump's refusal to accept his defeat and numerous efforts to overturn the election result led to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by pro-Trump rioters.

Riggleman, an ex-military intelligence officer and former Republican congressman from Virginia, told 60 Minutes his analysis of the Meadows' text messages lead him to believe they were a "roadmap to an attempted coup." More than 2,000 text messages were provided to the committee by President Trump's Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows.

"With your background in information analysis, when you read these texts, what does that sound like to your trained ear?" Whitaker asked.

"It sounded like, honestly, the way that they talked, and the way that they referred to this, this 'epic struggle,' almost sounded like me looking at foreign terrorist groups in my past," Riggleman said.

Exxon Mobil, AT&T, Valero finance candidates who tried to overturn 2020 election

Corporations say one thing publicly but do the opposite privately, government filings show.

America’s largest and wealthiest corporations promised to promote civil rights and democracy after the Black Lives Matters protests and right-wing attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but data collected by a nonprofit called Accountable.US shows it was mostly hot air. https://www.americandemocracyscorecard.org/

The nonpartisan group examined securities filings and campaign finance records from the Fortune 100 list of top publicly traded companies and graded them on 14 criteria. Eleven of the 14 corporations based in Texas received an F. Tesla had the highest grade with a B.

Most of us know to only believe some or none of what you hear from a corporate public relations office. Any business journalist will tell you to only believe half of what you see. Accountable.US started by examining whether a company made any pledges after the protests of 2020 and 2021 and then where they spent their political contributions, according to campaign finance reports.

Seven of Texas’ 14 companies are in the petroleum business: ConocoPhillips, Energy Transfer, Enterprise Products Partners, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, Plains GP Holdings and Valero Energy. None issued statements defending voting rights, and only Valero condemned the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, promising to suspend political contributions to lawmakers who tried to overturn the election.

The energy industry’s failure to speak up for civil rights and democracy is significant because fossil fuel companies and their employees are the largest donors to Texas Republican politicians. If oil and gas executives were to demand democracy, Republicans would pay attention.

Instead, San Antonio-headquartered Valero ended up giving $150,000 to politicians who voted against certifying the 2020 election results during the 2022 election cycle, records show. The company’s executives and political action arms gave $33,000 to state officials who voted for legislation restricting voting rights.

Soon-to-be Houston-based Exxon Mobil provided $118,000 to members of Congress who tried to stop Joe Biden from becoming president and $340,000 to federal lawmakers who opposed expanding voting protections. The company’s executives and PACs gave $70,000 to Texas officials who passed voting restrictions.

In terms of hypocrisy, though, Dallas-based AT&T takes the cake. The company declared that the right to vote is sacred and suspended donations to politicians who objected to certifying the 2020 elections results. Actions, though, speak louder than words.

AT&T helped fund the One America Network, known as OAN, which spreads disinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding voting and the election. The company gave $560,000 to members of Congress who opposed federal voting rights legislation.

The telecommunications company then resumed donations to representatives and senators who tried to overturn the 2020 election, giving them $135,000. AT&T executives and PACs gave $617,000 to Texas officials who passed tighter voter restrictions.

A transplant from California to Austin scored the highest on Accountable.US’ scorecard. Tesla joined the Business for Voting Rights Coalition and did not give any money to a politician who opposed the 2020 election or supported new voting restrictions.

Then again, Tesla does not have a political action committee. By staying out of politics, it’s easy to get a passing grade.

Rounding out the Texas corporations, Houston-based food company Sysco and San Antonio-based financial firm USAA both received Fs, and Irving-based health care company McKesson failed, too. Austin tech firms Dell and Oracle received a C and D, respectively.

“Americans overwhelmingly say corporations should stand up for democracy, yet we’re seeing the vast majority of major companies failing miserably,” Kyle Her-rig, Accountable.US’ president, said. “Corporate executi

Republicans Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar 'may have had serious cognitive issues,' Jan. 6 committee advisor says

Republican Denver Riggleman says Reps. Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar are in their own little worlds. They harbor "wild, dramatic fantasies about Democrats, the media and big tech," Riggleman says.

Former January 6 committee investigator Denver Riggleman says Republican Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Paul Gosar of Arizona's penchant for "unhinged conspiracy theories" convinced him that the two Trump allies are fully divorced from reality.

"I came to believe Gosar and Gohmert may have had serious cognitive issues," Riggleman writes of his former colleagues in his new book, "The Breach: The untold story of the investigation into January 6th."

Raising alarms about lawmakers' mental health gels with responses gathered in a recent poll conducted as part of Insider's "Red, White, and Gray" project, which explores the costs, benefits, and dangers of life in a democracy helmed by those of advanced age.

Eighty one percent of respondents said they support subjecting congressional candidates to physical and mental exams before they're allowed to serve — an issue that's already on voters' minds as the 2024 presidential race takes shape.

The harsh criticism flows, Riggleman says, from absorbing all the wild ideas the conservative duo would throw around while they huddled with other members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus. Gohmert and Gosar, who are both in their 60s, are part of a cohort of far-right lawmakers like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia who regularly push conspiracy theories. Their wild and often baseless accusations could also be based on extreme partisanship.

In one case, Riggleman said Gohmert railed against the purported shadow-banning of Republicans on social media by "master algorithms" — a dig at technology companies that reportedly prompted others in the room to nod in agreement.

Riggleman also wrote that while Gosar is prone to extremism — like lobbying for the dissolution of the District of Columbia if House Republicans reclaim control of the chamber this fall — he's not the only one.

"Scott Perry, Jody Hice, Randy Weber and the caucus chairman, Andy Biggs, all said things that stunned me," Riggleman wrote of the rude awakening he got from MAGA lawmakers during his single term in Congress.

Republican Reps. Perry and Biggs have both been subpoenaed by the select committee investigating the deadly siege at the US Capitol.

Gohmert, who earlier this year bemoaned not being able to lie to the FBI or congressional investigators, will be leaving Capitol Hill at the end of the year after a failed bid to replace embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Government Disclosed Jan. 6 Activities of 5 Confidential FBI Sources: Defense Lawyer
By Zachary Stieber and Joseph M. Hanneman
September 26, 2022 Updated: September 28, 2022

The U.S. government has acknowledged for the first time that five FBI confidential informants were involved with the Oath Keepers on Jan. 6, 2021, but prosecutors failed to disclose that none of the sources provided evidence of guilt, a defense lawyer said on Sept. 26.

FBI officials have repeatedly declined in congressional hearings to say whether there were agents or confidential human sources (CHS) in the crowd when the U.S. Capitol was breached on Jan. 6. But in pretrial communications in the Oath Keepers’ seditious conspiracy case, prosecutors disclosed that there were five sources informing on the Oath Keepers, David Fischer, who is representing defendant Thomas Caldwell, said in the new filing.

“What the Government knew—but only recently disclosed to the Defendants—was that none of the CHSes provided evidence of guilt on the part of the Oath Keepers as an organization, or the individual Defendants in this case,” Fischer said.

In the latest salvo from the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, the former president posted what appeared to be a death threat against the Kentucky senator on Friday, after the senator voiced support for the Electoral Count Act reforms. McConnell voiced support for the bipartisan bill to reform the Electoral Count Act in light of the January 6, 2021, riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 vote.

A Trump spokesman denied it was a death threat but if a Trump supporter does kill both McConnell and McConnell's wife who resigned in protest from Trump's cabinet on Jan 6th, Trump won't be sad.

Trump already told the world what he thinks of that subpoena, which is the same thing he thinks of when asked to release his income tax returns. If you recall, he went to the Supreme Court, twice, to prevent a Congressional committee on tax enforcement from seeing his returns. Congress hasn't seen them yet. I am pretty sure Trump's tax returns would show he didn't pay his taxes for the last 20 years, which is why he is so protective of his privacy. Also remember Trump promised to release his tax returns while he was campaigning in 2016, but he couldn't until the IRS auditors and Trump's lawyers allowed him.

Trump won't take an oath to tell the truth because the next step would be Trump taking the 5th amendment right to refuse to testify, which would make Trump look like a crook.

Trump Outmaneuvers New York Lawsuit By Changing Name To Donald 2

PALM BEACH, FL—In a cunning attempt to outmaneuver the fraud lawsuit brought against him by the New York state attorney general, Donald Trump reportedly changed his name on Friday to Donald 2. “I’m not sure who these charges are referring to, as there is no such person named Donald Trump — I’m Mr. 2,” said 2, the former president, who confirmed that his driver’s license as well as his passport and all official personal documents now read “Donald J. 2.” “I’m Mr. 2, that’s me. I have no connection to this case. It’s an entirely different guy, though I do have it on good authority that if there were a Donald Trump, he’d be totally innocent.” At press time, 2 added that perhaps the lawsuit was referring to a certain 44-year-old businessman named Donald Trump Jr.

Former President Trump has refused to comply with the Select Committee’s subpoena requiring him to appear for a deposition.

His attorneys have made no attempt to negotiate an appearance, and his lawsuit parades out many of the same arguments that courts have rejected repeatedly.

Donald Trump orchestrated a scheme to overturn a presidential election and block the transfer of power. He is obligated to provide answers to the American people.

The committee will evaluate next steps in the litigation and regarding the former President’s noncompliance.

Trump, the MAGA base, and election denialism

Eric Kramer | November 15, 2022 8:52 am

It has been widely noted that Trumpy Republicans have largely accepted vote tallies and conceded defeat. There have been few strong claims of fraud or election theft by major candidates (the main exception so far appears to be Kari Lake), and no efforts that I am aware of to mobilize protests against the election results, much less violent protest.

So that raises the question we have been grappling with for 6 years now: to what extent is Trump sui generis? Does his charisma (yes, he has charisma) and connection to the MAGA base give him the power to mobilize anti-democratic violence and election denialism, a power that most of his potential MAGA replacements lack?

Can you see MAGAs storming the Capitol for DeSantis or Cruz or Haley or Rubio?

They've conceded defeat simply because they're going to use the cheating apparatus you Democrats enacted in blue and swing states and win every election going forward with it in place. Why spend hundreds of millions of dollars on campaign ads that clearly aren't doing the job when you can just spend that money funding grassroots campaigns all over the country to canvas neighborhoods and collect votes?

You've got two months to close that door and force Republicans to be put in the hypocritical position of trying to open it back up. Anybody outside of the Democratic Party doesn't want unsolicited mail-in fraud ballots or dropboxes where anybody can drop off a ballot for anyone else and would not be on board with Republican "leadership" trying to open that back up if the Democratic "leadership" takes the necessary steps to close it immediately. But if you let it slide for another 2 years into next election there is no chance that the Republican "leadership" will close it back up after they use it better than you do, and eventually elections will be done on your cell phones like American Idol.

Ignore this warning at your own peril.

Donald Trump ought to face the same charges the Oath Keepers did

By Frank Figliuzzi, MSNBC Opinion Columnist

Tuesday’s convictions of five Oath Keepers — including founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes and top deputy Kelly Meggs who were found guilty of the gravely serious charge of seditious conspiracy — may seem like game-winning goals, but they’re just critical points the Justice Department put on the board right before halftime. The government’s successful prosecution sidelines some strong players, but the captains and coaches we have reason to suspect called the shots on Jan. 6, 2021 (former President Donald Trump and his minions) remain on the field.

After eight weeks of testimony, it took the jury only three days to return its verdicts.

To win the game, special counsel Jack Smith, who’s been appointed to investigate Trump’s role in the violence of Jan. 6, needs to use the same playbook that worked against the Oath Keepers. That is, he should be looking to see if seditious conspiracy and obstruction of Congress charges are warranted for Trump and those in his inner circle.

After eight weeks of testimony, it took the jury only three days to return its verdicts. The swiftness of the jury’s deliberations and the potential similarities between what those defendants did and what we know about Trump and his high-profile cohorts, should encourage the independent counsel to at least consider, if not pursue, such a case. Smith, and his boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, may ultimately decide that there are more palatable alternatives to charging Trump and his advisers with crimes punishable with decades in prison, but I believe Smith has valid predication to explore using the same charges applied to the Oath Keepers.

The jury accepted the government’s argument that a defendant need not have entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 to be guilty of obstructing Congress or guilty of seditious conspiracy. The jury also accepted the government’s argument that the defendants’ failure to stop the confirmation of the Electoral College vote tally made them no less guilty. Rhodes, who was in Washington that day, never entered the Capitol. He denied ordering others to breach the Capitol and claimed they were “stupid” to have done so, but the jury didn’t buy his attempt to distance himself from that day’s violence.

The jury accepting those arguments ought to worry Trump, adviser Roger Stone, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and others in that orbit.

An FBI agent testified that just minutes after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, Rhodes communicated with Stone via a “Friends of Stone” encrypted chat group established to coordinate Trump’s post-loss tactics. “What’s the plan? We need to roll ASAP,” prosecutors say Rhodes asked Stone. Rhodes attached a proposal to occupy the streets of Washington and to enter the Capitol. The night before the attack on Congress, Stone was onstage in Freedom Plaza telling thousands of Trump supporters, “I will be with you tomorrow, shoulder to shoulder.”

At events just prior to the riot, Stone used Oath Keepers as his personal security guards. The day before the 2020 election, Roger Stone had been recorded by a documentary crew stating, “F--- the voting, let’s get right to the violence.” The attempted use of force is a key element of the seditious conspiracy statute. And force isn’t even required for an obstruction of Congress charge.

Neither Meadows nor Flynn is known to have staged caches of weapons around the D.C. Beltway as the Oath Keepers did, but the Jan. 6 House committee has focused on what it has called the “marshaling of the mob.” As NBC reported, in the days after the election, “Flynn became a leading figure in the campaign to sow doubt about the results and urge Trump to take extraordinary measures to stay in power … and floated the idea of martial law.”

Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Meadows, told the Jan. 6 committee that Meadows had warned her in advance that Jan. 6 could

The Jan. 6 rioter who led a mob that chased a Capitol police officer said he wants to go back to being a 'family man'

The January 6 rioter who chased a Capitol police officer up a staircase as senators huddled in a nearby room was sentenced to five years in prison.

At his sentencing hearing on Friday, Doug Jensen spoke briefly in his defense, stating that "I can't change my past. I can only look to the future," according to CBS News Congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane.

He added that he wanted to go back to being a "family man."

Jensen's lawyer blamed the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory in part for the rioters' actions after he got into the Capitol building and shouted for then-Vice President Mike Pence to be arrested.

Newly revealed possible criminal charge against Trump is a 'very big one': former prosecutor

"As we heard the reporting, it sounds like some of the charges are ones we have been talking about for a long time like obstruction of official proceedings, and a conspiracy to defraud the united states," she explained. "The new one we are hearing is a very big one. It is inciting insurrection."

"This is a crime that is not charged and that is because of the strong First Amendment defenses that anyone would have against it," she continued. "And you know, there is nothing illegal about giving a fiery speech, but, if the committee is to recommend charges for inciting insurrection, it will be because they believe that Donald Trump crossed the legal line with the Supreme Court said in a case called Brandenburg vs. Ohio."

Why would they do anything other than this? All they did by pleading the 5th here was say "fuck you, I'm not participating".

It was stated from day one that this clown show was a partisan witch hunt, and the meaningless criminal "referrals" were going to be the end result.

Anybody with two brain cells working can figure out how en-mass unsolicited mail-in ballots coupled with anonymous drop boxes where it's entirely legal to put in thousands at a time could lead to cheating.

And since you haven't figured that out yet, Ted... And you haven't headed my warnings that Republicans now plan to take full advantage of the system that Democrats created for them in 2024, Ted... You're going to be doing a lot of crying about cheating yourself 2 years from now.

How Jan. 6th committee’s revelations of interference in their investigation can enable Special Counsel to indict Trump

The committee presented new evidence of criminal efforts to interfere with its investigation – on the part of some witnesses, their attorneys, and others associated with the former president. It is the kind of evidence that may have far-reaching implications including bolstering Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6th and Mar-a-Lago investigations.

Among the most significant new revelations is the statement in the summary:

“The Committee has substantial concerns regarding potential efforts to obstruct its investigation, including by certain counsel (some paid by groups connected to the former President) who may have advised clients to provide false or misleading testimony to the Committee”.

Trump’s Save America PAC paid the lawyers for key witnesses who initially lied to the FBI before confessing knowledge of Trump’s concealing classified materials. The committee’s revelations sweep in a set of lawyers who have exposed themselves to criminal liability. The committee identified some witnesses who appear to have followed through by lying to the committee.

More specifically, one “lawyer had advised the witness that the witness could, in certain circumstances, tell the Committee that she did not recall facts when she actually did recall them.”

It can be a federal crime for any witness to tell congressional investigators that she does not recall information, when she does in fact clearly recall. It is also a federal crime for Trump to counsel someone to commit that act.
