Rudy Giuliani associate Bernard Kerik set to release Jan. 6 documents: report
A Rudy Giuliani consigliere is set to share public documents related to his involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
Bernard Kerik, who served as then-Mayor Guiliani's police commissioner in the months following 9/11, will share documents on a public website that his attorney says are "not privileged," according to a letter obtained by Politico.
"Mr. Kerik is happy to provide all of the responsive documents, as well as to sit and answer all appropriate questions regarding these matters," Timothy Parlatore, Kerik's attorney, wrote in the letter, adding that Kerik would sit for a Jan. 13 deposition with the committee.

Trump and the January 6 committee are now locked in a full-on confrontation
Nearly a year after his failed coup attempt, Donald Trump's habit of putting his own political gain over truth is playing out again as the ex-commander-in-chief and his associates seek to delay and defy the House select committee probing the January 6 insurrection.

Quote:WOW. Calling it a failed coup attempt even before the democratic* kangaroo court (select committee) proclaims it to be so? Talk about blatant propaganda! It's not even official news and it gets printed as news.

Well, at least now we don't have to wonder about msn/cnn. There's nothing remotely subtle at all about the propaganda. It's right out there, loud and proud!
Anyway, since Trump is no long an active topic, the question is - why froth this up right now? What are they trying to distract us from? Perhaps the US/ NATO failure vis-a-vis Russia, with Russia calling the shots?

Opinion | Will Donald Trump Get Away With Inciting an Insurrection?
by Laurence H. Tribe, Donald Ayer, Dennis Aftergut, Dec. 23, 2021
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/23/opinion/trump-capitol-riot-january-
6th.html
Mr. Tribe taught constitutional law at Harvard for 50 years. Merrick Garland was one of his students. Mr. Ayer oversaw criminal prosecutions and investigations as Ronald Reagan’s U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of California. He later served as deputy attorney general. Mr. Aftergut handled a number of complex investigations and prosecutions as a federal prosecutor in San Francisco.
In his nine months in office, Attorney General Merrick Garland has done a great deal to restore integrity and evenhanded enforcement of the law to an agency that was badly misused for political reasons under his predecessor. But his place in history will be assessed against the challenges that confronted him. And the overriding test that he and the rest of the government face is the threat to our democracy from people bent on destroying it.
Mr. Garland’s success depends on ensuring that the rule of law endures. That means dissuading future coup plotters by holding the leaders of the insurrection fully accountable for their attempt to overthrow the government. But he cannot do so without a robust criminal investigation of those at the top, from the people who planned, assisted or funded the attempt to overturn the Electoral College vote to those who organized or encouraged the mob attack on the Capitol. To begin with, he might focus on Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and even Donald Trump — all of whom were involved, in one way or another, in the events leading up to the attack.
Almost a year after the insurrection, we have yet to see any clear indicators that such an investigation is underway, raising the alarming possibility that this administration may never bring charges against those ultimately responsible for the attack.
While the Justice Department has filed charges against more than 700 people who participated in the violence, limiting the investigation to these foot soldiers would be a grave mistake: As Joanne Freeman, a Yale historian, wrote this month about the insurrection, “Accountability — the belief that political power holders are responsible for their actions and that blatant violations will be addressed — is the lifeblood of democracy. Without it, there can be no trust in government, and without trust, democratic governments have little power.”
The legal path to investigate the leaders of the coup attempt is clear. The criminal code prohibits inciting an insurrection or “giving aid or comfort” to those who do, as well as conspiracy to forcibly “prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States.” The code also makes it a crime to corruptly impede any official proceeding or deprive citizens of their constitutional right to vote.
Based purely on what we know today from news reports and the steady stream of revelations coming from the House select committee investigating the attack, the attorney general has a powerful justification for a robust and forceful investigation into the former president and his inner circle. As White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows was intimately involved in the effort to overturn the election. He traveled to Georgia last December, where he apparently laid the groundwork for the phone call in which the president pressured Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find 11,780 votes.” Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio reportedly promoted a scheme to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to reject duly certified Joe Biden electors. And from their war room at the Willard Hotel, several members of the president’s inner circle hatched the legal strategy to overturn the results of the election.
The president himself sat back for three hours while his chief of staff was barraged with messages from members of Congress and Fox News hosts pleading with him to have Mr. Trump call off the armed mob whose violent pas

Clinton, Clinton, Clinton is all we heard the entire time Obama was president from Kiki and others. That’s eight years. Yet for months now Kiki and these same people have clamored we should move on from Trump. We should stop posting about him. It’s been less than a year and it’s not hard to figure out why they say that. The topic of Trump is embarrassing for them. It shows them as being about as stupid as they come for following and defending him.
tick tock the hammer is falling...

I read the article second. It’s good and to the point. I just didn’t want to repost the whole thing to comment on it. I agree with what the article says. Let us hope though we see the Justice Department act. I suspect if they do, they will have a very strong case.

Trump Advisor Peter Navarro Lays Out How He and Bannon Planned to Overturn Biden’s Electoral Win
A former Trump White House official says he and right-wing provocateur Steve Bannon were actually behind the last-ditch, coordinated effort by rogue Republicans in Congress to halt certification of the 2020 election results and keep President Donald Trump in power earlier this year, in a plan dubbed the “Green Bay Sweep.”

Trump urges judge to drop lawsuit by eight Capitol cops on Jan. 6 riot
Donald Trump is seeking to have the court dimiss a lawsuit against him by eight Capitol Hill cops who accused him of sparking the January 6th MAGA riot.
The former president addressed his supporters at a rally outside of the White House on the morning of the riot. Many of them later marched on the Capitol and forced their way inside the building. The House of Representatives impeached Trump for his role but the Senate acquitted him.
