A field guide to understanding who is at the center of the Jan. 6 probe

December 6, 2021

A month from now-
the United States will mark its first anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The insurrection, incited by former President Donald Trump, cost damages over
$1 million to the complex alone, left several dead and hundreds injured

The committee’s debut public hearing unfolded this July when a handful of police
officers who fought off the mob for hours testified about their harrowing experiences.
Starting early next year, the Jan. 6 Committee is expected to recommence its public
hearings.

The probe thus far has been kept tightly under wraps as investigators have spent
months piecing together how the siege was organized and financed, who was
involved in its coordination, and just how many people inside of Trump’s orbit
may have worked with the 45th president to propagate his pervasive but widely
debunked lie that he won the 2020 election.

- Daily Kos

The attempt to subvert democracy was nearly successful -

many Republicans in the House and Senate have labeled the commission
as a political cudgel unmoored from legislative purpose

The January 6th committee has pushed back fiercely against such claims.

Predictable, that someone would pile on Joe Biden's back, for a piggy-back ride,
ahead of the tele-summit with Putin.

No major news network would broadcast a treasonous jerk tearing down a sitting president.
MAGA Nonsense Newsmax did it, though.

and Liz Harrington used her twitter account, to provide an echo -

President Trump on Biden vs Putin:

"That's not a fair match. That wouldn't have been a fair match in prime time.
The Election was Rigged and it was Stolen, and this is what we got.

"Take the New England Patriots playing your high school football team,
that's what you have."

Trump’s White House Emailed About a PowerPoint on How to End American Democracy

- December 9, 2021

- Rolling Stone

The House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol -
has obtained a trove of electronic messages from former Trump Chief of Staff
Mark Meadows, including an email referring to a PowerPoint suggesting Trump
could declare a national security emergency in order to delay the certification of
the results of the 2020 election.

The PowerPoint presentation -
which spanned 38 pages and was titled “Election fraud, Foreign Interference & Options
for 6 JAN,” was part of an email sent on Jan. 5, the day before the attack on the Capitol.

Mark Meadows discussed the same plan, which was described as a
“direct and collateral attack,” in a separate email.

As if, the murder of President Abe Lincoln, the assassination of JFK,
the killing of Bobby F. Kennedy, the death of John-John F. Kennedy Jr.,
were not enough.

Did it occur to you, that someone might have tried to bring a murder weapon to a funeral-
America's current official President, Joe Biden, voiced the eulogy, as Bob Dole's body,
Lies in State, under the Capitol Rotunda.

Every gun that Trump's trolls carry into the Capitol buildings, is a tool of trolling,
using the fear of violence and murder to disrupt, disturb, upset, and interrupt.

American Democrats are having the equivalent of a Gunpowder Plot moment.

The terrorist rioters of January 6th brought in weapons of every kind - automatic, too.

There were explosives kept nearby, because plans for escalating the violence were made.

There won't be bonfires, on the anniversary of the attack on Democracy, because America
is currently having an ecological disaster. Enough of America has suffered from burning.

Perhaps, paint filled balloons, could be launched at a Trump piñata.

"I walked back down to the Map Room, where our analysts were reporting good news
from social media. The Twitter traffic was all trending in the right direction,"
Meadows described the scene at around 10:30 p.m. that night.

He continued: "Then, out of nowhere, I heard a loud series of screams and expletives
from the next room. Fox News had called Arizona for Joe Biden."

- from Mark Meadows' book - "The Chief's Chief"

bodysong comment -
Despite every secret agreement, all corruption, all pressure applied, money exchanged,
reality slammed back at the Trump Alliance - almost 90% of America rejects Trump.

FOX TV might give talking heads a free hand at petting and soothing MAGA,
but reality insists on sticking to the truth. FOX TV retained a few sane people,
that would report the truth.

Mark Meadows said it was "infuriating" when Fox News called Arizona for Biden on election night.

Meadows quickly called Fox News editor Bill Sammon, forcefully tapping the numbers on his phone.

"I'm surprised I didn't crack the screen of my iPhone," the former Trump aide wrote
in his new book.

bodysong comment - MAGA went so far, as to dump vote ballots, at the same time
they were accusing Democrats of that. In the end, it was found that the only vote cheats,
were Republicans, adding extra votes for Trump.

The only consistent claim of MAGA , "There is vote fraud!" What MAGA does not say,
is that vote fraud exists, because they are the ones that are doing it.

FFS, did MAGA forget to add the figures of mail-in ballots, and the effect it might have ?

(Post Master Louis DeJoy fucked the mail service up, and fucked up ballot delivery.)

It’s unclear exactly what Trump’s new media venture will consist of.
It claims to be creating a social network, but Bloomberg news service
columnist Matt Levine has noted, “so far there is almost no sign that
TMTG is actually building a social network or a streaming platform
or anything else.”

Also, a company called Digital World Acquisition Corp., which was created
strictly to acquire other companies and has merged with the Trump venture,
is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Devin Nunes, who has no experience in technology, may be getting out of Congress
because he fears defeat in next November’s election, political observers suggest.

Devin Nunes' record on LGBTQ+ rights is dismal; he has a string of zeroes

House Jan. 6 committee votes to hold Meadows in contempt,

December 13, 2021

Some of the most dramatic evidence presented Monday night involved texts
from allies of the president urging Meadows to get Trump to stop the rioters.

On Sunday night, in a 51-page report, the bipartisan committee revealed that it has
documents showing that Meadows said the National Guard “would be present
to ‘protect pro Trump people’ ” on the day of the attack.

Phil Waldron, retired U.S. Army colonel, was working with Trump’s outside lawyers

A version of the presentation made its way to the White House chief of staff,
Mark Meadows, on Jan. 5.

That information surfaced publicly this past week after the congressional committee
investigating the insurrection released a letter that said Meadows had turned the

The January 6th Insurrection was never meant to do anything, more,

...but, to provide the perception, that in unity, they were striving for that goal.

Some, perhaps had private side quests, to benefit Trump -

"...removed documents from a U.S. Senate desk..."

"a group of rioters, ransacking the Senate chamber on Jan. 6, finds a document
in Sen. Ted Cruz's desk..."

FUX TV trolls America, with court theatrics

Judge Denies Fox News Move to Dismiss Dominion’s Defamation Lawsuit:
‘Intended to Avoid the Truth’

December 16th, 2021

Dominion Voting Systems, a company subject to a torrent of conspiracy theories
from President Donald Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the results of the
2020 election, filed a lawsuit against Fox News for $1.6 billion, alleging
the network falsely claimed Dominion rigged the 2020 election.

Fox News filed a motion in New York Supreme court to dismiss this defamation suit,
as well as the one filed against them by Smartmatic.

Law & Crime’s Aaron Keller reports more details:

“For purposes of the Motion, the Court must view all well-pled facts alleged
in the Complaint as true and in a light most favorable to Dominion,”
wrote Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis.

“If the plaintiff offers ‘some direct evidence’ that the statement ‘was probably false,’
the Court can infer that the defendant ‘inten[ded] to avoid the truth,’”
the judge continued.

Trolling, On A Grand Scale

Louie Gohmert sued Mike Pence to try to force him to go along with coup

December 16, 2021

In the last days of December 2020, Politico noted a decidedly odd story.
That’s when Rep. Louie Gohmert, along with a group of would-be
Donald Trump electors from Arizona, filed suit against Mike Pence—
not for violating the 1887 Electoral Count Act, but for following it.
And if that doesn’t sound strange enough already, Gohmert was likely
acting as a stand-in for Trump.

The suit against Pence seems to have been a proxy fight in two ways:
First, the suit from Gohmert put more pressure on Pence

Second, it was a direct attempt to get the Department of Justice to weigh in
on the constitutionality of the Electoral Count Act.

Despite claims that the plan presented to Republicans by Phil Waldron was not
the same as the “official” plan that Mark Meadows, Trump, and attorney
John Eastman pressed on Pence in the Oval Office - it’s clear that the critical points
of the plan are the same.

There was only one coup plan: Have Pence refuse to count enough electoral votes
for Joe Biden so he could either claim that Trump was the outright victor
or make a case that the election was “in dispute,” giving Trump the pretense
to call for a do-over election under military supervision.

Well before Jan. 6, Republicans were out there in public, explaining that scheme
in court.

It’s just that no one in the media took them seriously.

Damning clip resurfaces of Rand Paul lecturing Fauci about 'virtually 0% chance'
of breakthrough COVID-19 infections

In a heated exchange during a Senate hearing this Tuesday -
Dr. Anthony Fauci fired back at GOP Sen. Rand Paul's accusations
that he used his alleged media connections to smear scientists who disagreed
with his approach to tackling the Covid-19...

Viewers stunned as Dr. Fauci takes down Rand Paul for profiting off attacking him:
'He has the receipts!'

8 hours ago

At the Senate hearing Tuesday, Anthony S. Fauci accused Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
of incessant and false attacks on him to raise campaign funds.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, Ian Sams,
denounced Marshall’s comments about Fauci in a statement on Tuesday evening.

“At a time when America is seeing rising COVID cases,” he said, “it’s disappointing
and frankly unacceptable that Republican Senators chose to spend a hearing with
the country’s leading public health experts spreading conspiracy theories and lies
about Dr. Fauci, rather than how we protect people from COVID-19.”

Capitol Hill testimony has long been a venue where Fauci has sparred with Republican lawmakers.

Earlier Tuesday, he engaged in a heated exchange with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) —
Fauci’s loudest GOP critic on Capitol Hill — arguing that the senator’s critical rhetoric
“kindles the crazies” who threaten him and his family.

Fauci also accused Paul of using the pandemic for political gain.

January 11, 2022

On Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who serves as the director of the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), testified during a Senate hearing
held by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions.

(Who is on this committee ?)

Calling someone a hero is a big label, but I’d wager that Fauci deserves it for his work
and advocacy during the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic

As you might recall, Fauci had more than a little bit of a rough time dealing with
the Trump administration, and though Trump is out of office, it seems certain
conservatives can’t stop attacking Fauci. As Fauci pointed out during his testimony,
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has been encouraging threats against his life
by launching public attacks that are both antagonistic and without a
“shred of evidence.”

Rand Paul pushed some absolutely wild anti-vaccine, anti-science conspiracy theories -
about COVID-19, including recently referring to the omicron variant as
nature’s vaccine” during an interview with Fox News. Yikes!

More recently, on Tuesday, Fauci said Rand’s actions essentially “kindle the crazies”
against him and his family, including his children.

You might remember, for example, when police arrested a Maryland man for allegedly
threatening to beat Fauci and his family to death.
