Ouch! Republicans even found to be in front for "preserving democracy" ! Gotta chap Nancy's ass!

Before you foo foo Fox as a partisan pollster, keep in mind that they are consistently Biden's best pollster, running 3-4 points ahead of the RCP average in his Job Approval! So this could be skewed to the left!

What we're witnessing is the collapse of an American Presidency that, in the process, is creating such a powerful vortex it's sucking the democrat party down with it.

Like I've been saying - Karma.

You don't get to pull of a steal that results in such a galactic disaster without there being some disastrous consequences.

The problem is that the imbecile in charge is oblivious to it all while individual lives and families are being utterly destroyed.

Far more important is the slow motion coup and illegal voting manipulations in Georgia 🇬🇪

Raffensperger, Sterling will headline Tuesday's Jan. 6 hearings

June 17, 2022 2:27 PM

By:Stephen Fowler



Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his top deputy Gabriel Sterling will testify at Tuesday's hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, to shine more light on one of the more brazen attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Their planned testimony is confirmed by sources familiar with Tuesday’s hearing but not authorized to speak publicly before the committee announces its schedule.

Raffensperger famously rebuffed former President Donald Trump's pressure to "find" enough votes to reverse his narrow election defeat, and Sterling was a frequent figure on televised news conferences debunking false claims of fraud and fellow Republicans' attacks on election workers.

In last month's primary elections, Raffensperger defeated Trump-backed challenger Rep. Jody Hice.

Tuesday's committee hearing is expected to highlight the pressure campaign that Trump and his allies exerted on local elections officials in Georgia and other states to reverse the presidential election results, and comes on the heels of a hearing Thursday that outlined attempts to get former Vice President Mike Pence to reject the Electoral College results. 

The Georgia officials' public testimony comes after Raffensperger appeared recently in a closed-door special grand jury investigation in Fulton County that is seeking to determine if Trump and others violated several state laws in their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Raffensperger and others have also provided hours of testimony privately to the committee, including discussion of the unprecedented call from Trump, leaked to GPB News, The Washington Post and other outlets in the runup to Georgia's dual U.S. Senate runoffs.


Georgia's politics have remained central to understanding how thousands of Trump supporters attacked the Capitol in hopes of blocking the certification of Joe Biden as president, ranging from fraudulent "alternate electors" submitted by top Republican officials, numerous failed lawsuits and harassment of election workers in efforts to find widespread fraud that three separate counts of the votes confirmed was not present. 

Other notable moments include Trump's call to the state's top election investigator encouraging her to uncover absentee ballot fraud in a review of envelope signatures (that ultimately found no invalid ballots) and presentations to state lawmakers riddled with errors and false claims encouraging them to reject election results.

Utter collapse -


A new USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll shows the country in a funk and one that sets a problematic political landscape for Democrats in the November elections that are approaching fast.

Only 39% of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing as president. A stunning 47% "strongly" disapprove; just 16% "strongly" approve. Academic studies have shown that presidential approval is one of the most reliable predictors of what happens in midterm elections, and a rating this low would traditionally signal significant losses for the president's party.

The next Jan. 6 hearing ‘is going to trigger Trump like nothing else’: Rick Wilson

Sky Palma

June 17, 2022

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his deputy Gabe Sterling are expected to testify on front of the Jan. 6 committee at the end of this month, CNN reports.

Raffensperger's made headlines after the 2020 election for refusing former President Donald Trump's attempt to pressure him to "find" the votes necessary for Trump to win Georgia. Raffensperger, who is a Republican, already testified before the committee as well as a special grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the election.

According to the Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson, Raffensperger and Sterling appearing before the committee is bad news for Trump.

"This is going to trigger Trump like nothing else," Wilson tweeted this Friday.


"As Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election and his allies pursued various schemes to try to upend the results, Raffensperger, Raffensperger's wife Tricia, and other Georgia officials faced a barrage of threats," CNN's report stated. "In December 2020, Sterling publicly pleaded for Trump to condemn the harassment that officials and election workers had been facing."

The Department of Justice is getting more than before.

WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack could start sharing some transcripts of witness interviews with federal prosecutors as early as next month as Justice Department officials ratchet up public pressure on the panel to turn over the documents.

Negotiations between Justice Department officials and Timothy J. Heaphy, the lead investigator for the House panel and a former federal prosecutor, have intensified in recent days, as the two sides wrangle over the timing and content of the material to be turned over, according to several people familiar with the talks but not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

Prosecutors have previously said that the committee planned to publicly release the documents requested in September.

He's getting crazier than before he lost the election.

Former President Trump said on Friday that he would look “very, very seriously” at pardoning those charged in connection with storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, if he ran for and became president again. 

Speaking during a Faith and Freedom event in Nashville, Tenn., Trump said the defendants charged in the Capitol riot were “having their lives totally destroyed and being treated worse than terrorists and murderers,” claiming that most had been “charged with parading through the Capitol.”

Peggy Noonan said...

Trump voters: Call an audible again. Look at the field and the facts, be strategic. Donald Trump, in the 2016 primaries, tended to win with about a third of the vote. In a field of 17 that was enough. It’s looking like the GOP field could be larger than expected in 2024, and of course Mr. Trump could run again and win the nomination again. It will be easier for him if past Trump voters fail to think strategically, and if donors big and small don’t move early to winnow the field.

Here is the Republican tragedy of the past seven years: In 2016 only Donald Trump could have beaten Hillary Clinton. And of all GOP primary candidates that year, only Mr. Trump couldn’t govern, because he had no interest in governance and is himself ruled by emotions and impulses as opposed to judgment. He is sort of a 1950s caricature of a woman. Actually I suppose I mean he’s colorfully masculine yet not at all manly—a screaming meemie instead of a steady bomber pilot. I say this not to be gratuitous but because his nature dictated his actions on 1/6 and before, and will again.

Why doesn’t the party get someone who can govern now? Why not try to know reputable power, right what needs righting, put competent people in charge?

Serious people will know to move more quickly this cycle than they have in the past.

So that’s what I tell Trump voters: Be serious. Move quickly. Let go of the anvil that, in the most buoyant waters imaginable, will sink you to the bottom of the sea.

How a conservative judge’s attack on the GOP could shift the debate

By Greg Sargent

The revelatory blows to the Supreme Court are coming fast and hard.

We just learned that Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife corresponded by email with John Eastman, who developed Donald Trump’s coup blueprint.

We also learned Eastman might have had inside knowledge of the court’s deliberations about election cases.

But the timing of that new reporting — in The Post and the New York Times — is fortuitous in a hidden way.

A retired conservative federal judge who is well respected by Republicans ...provides an opening for Democrats to question the judge, J. Michael Luttig, about these new Supreme Court developments. That would mark a new turn in the Jan. 6 hearings.

The committee has been reluctant to tackle questions about Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, despite evidence of her direct discussions with top Trump advisers about the coup plot. But someone with Luttig’s pedigree could compellingly address such questions — and indict the broader pro-coup spirit infecting some GOP and conservative elites.

______

Conservative jurist J. Michael Luttig said on June 16 had Vice President Mike Pence declared Donald Trump president it would’ve plunged America into a “crisis."

Luttig’s opening statement for the Thursday hearing shows why. The line making news is Luttig’s claim that Trump developed a “well developed plan” to cling to power illegitimately. He aptly says this would have “plunged” our country into a “paralyzing constitutional crisis.”

The line making news is Luttig’s claim that Trump developed a “well developed plan” to cling to power illegitimately. He aptly says this would have “plunged” our country into a “paralyzing constitutional crisis.”

But there’s something more important in Luttig’s testimony. He indicts the Republican Party as a whole, not just for 2020, but also for going all in on a future in which election losses will henceforth be treated as inherently illegitimate and subject to subversion.

Much of the GOP, Luttig will suggest, is still wedded to the idea that reversing the 2020 election might in some sense have been a legitimate or at least understandable mission. Many Republicans, he will say, have adopted the principle that a future overturned election might be needed “to accomplish that which the previous revolt failed to accomplish.”

Luttig warns this portends an era of dangerous democratic instability. He says only Republicans can end this madness: “Only the party that instigated this war over our democracy can bring an end to that war.”

This willingness to unambiguously indict the GOP’s radicalization against democracy suggests questioning him about the latest Supreme Court revelations could help clarify matters in a big way.

Those revelations are striking. The Post reports that the committee has obtained emails between Thomas and Eastman which show her involvement in the effort to overturn the 2020 election was more involved than previously known, though it’s not clear how.

We already know Thomas extensively corresponded with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about the coup plot during a period when Trump and his allies pressured many government actors to help execute that plot. She also pressured state legislators to subvert Joe Biden’s electors.

The latest news suggests the possibility that Thomas corresponded directly with Eastman about deliberations within the Supreme Court with regard to upcoming election cases involving Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

Indeed, the Times reports that Eastman emailed another Trump lawyer to report a “heated fight” inside the court about one such case. Though there is some reason for skepticism that Eastman had such knowledge, at the least this raises unknowns that need filling in.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Luttig is testifying as a fact witness, having advised the staff of then-Vice President Mike Pence that subverting the election for Trump would be illegal. But Luttig wants to go bigger about the long term threat to democracy. So why not ask him about all the Supreme Court-related revelations?

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the committee to push Judge Luttig about the growing pile of circumstantial evidence connecting Ginni Thomas to the story in multiple respects,” Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told me.

Vladeck noted that the murky nature of her involvement makes it hard to tease out its institutional implications for the high court. As Vladeck put it, we still don’t know “just how well coordinated the antidemocratic faction was” across all branches of government. Luttig could shed light on this in a high profile, authoritative way.


The judiciary performed very well under intense pressure from Trump and his co-conspirators in 2020. Similarly, there’s a faction of conservative elites — albeit perhaps a rapidly shrinking one — that wants the GOP to unambiguously renounce Trump’s coup effort, and with it, the GOP’s drift into treating future election losses as illegitimate and nonbinding as party dogma.

That faction includes Pence and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), vice chair of the committee, and a number of others. Luttig could boost this faction, perhaps by calling on conservative judicial elites to unambiguously condemn Thomas’s involvement, and more broadly, that ongoing GOP drift.

“Luttig is clearly a part of that faction,” Vladeck said. “Luttig saying these things is far more important to conservative legal circles than Liz Cheney saying these things.”

Or, as constitutional law expert Eric Segall put it to me, Luttig has the power to reach conservative judicial elites who “deep down know how dangerous 1/6 was, and need a hook to help make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Luttig’s testimony offers a real opening to shift this debate. Democrats should make the most of it.
_______

Update: Some folks have objected that it would be risky to ask Luttig such questions at this hearing, because this hasn’t been discussed with him and the hearing wants to keep its focus on Pence. If so, there’s still a way to pursue this: The committee can ask Luttig about this in preparation for possible future testimony, and if he’s willing to talk about it in a constructive way, he can be publicly questioned at a later date.

My broader point is that Luttig is well positioned to address the Supreme Court revelations, and the committee should at least try to see where such a line of inquiry might lead with him. (Separately, it’s already clear Luttig has the capacity to shift the debate simply through his remarkable criticism of ongoing GOP radicalization.)

COUP’S NEXT

How about a congressional investigation of the perversion of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the service of the Russia hoax intended to take out Donald Trump? The FBI, FISA, and the FISA court should be shut down until we get some answers about the abuse of the law in the service of the hoax. It is all unfinished business, although the Democrats are doing their best to make us forget.

It seems to me an opportune moment to review events with Lee Smith (JNS post here, video below with host Ellie Cohanim). Toward the end of the interview, referring to the media, Lee distinguishes between “dingbats blabbering absolute nonsense” (e.g., Rachel Maddow and unnamed CNN hosts) and others who were part of an information operation (e.g., I take it, the CNN host/reporters whose bylines ran on this story). There is nothing new here, but I thought some readers might find it of interest, as I did.

How the J6 Committee has masterfully trapped Donald Trump

Lindsay Beyerstein

June 17, 2022

The January 6 Committee is methodically slamming Donald Trump’s remaining escape hatches. The committee’s third televised hearing deftly wove together expert and eye-witness testimony, video, and Trump’s own tweets to put the former president at the very center of the failed coup.

Officially, Thursday’s hearing was about whether Vice President Mike Pence had the power to single-handedly decide the winner of the 2020 election. The answer was a resounding “no.” The public learned what those who have been following the J6 committee’s legal findings have long known: that the scheme outlined in the Eastman memos was a crackpot plan that even Eastman acknowledged was illegal.

Just as importantly, today’s hearing established that Trump waged a public and private pressure campaign to get Mike Pence to follow John Eastman’s plan to overturn the election during the certification. This campaign was waged in person, over the phone, and on twitter, and the committee shared evidence of every step.

One of the hearing’s star witnesses was Greg Jacob, Pence’s former counsel. One of the most intriguing aspects of his testimony was a review of an email exchange between Jacob and Eastman that took place while Pence and Jacob were hiding from the mob.

“And thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege,”Jacob wrote to Eastman from the secure location.

Eastman shot back that the siege was happening “because you and your boss did not do what was necessary.” There you have it in Eastman’s own words: the mob stormed the Capitol because Pence refused to play his assigned role in the coup. And Eastman should know, he was on stage with Trump at the Ellipse when Trump explained to the crowd that Mike Pence had to send the election back to the states so that the Republicans would win the election.

“[The states] want to recertify. But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back,” Trump told the crowd.

In another email from hiding, Jacob asked Eastman whether he had advised Trump that the Vice President lacks the power to unilaterally overturn the election. “[Trump] been advised, as you should know, because you were on the phone when I did it,” Eastman wrote back, “But you know him. Once he gets something in his head, it’s hard to get him to change course."

During this exchange, Jacob forced the former law professor to concede that his plan violated the Electoral Count Act. Jacob also testified that Eastman admitted that not a single Supreme Court Justice would credit Eastman’s far-fetched theory that the vice president can decide who wins an election.

Eastman is saying that he told Trump the coup was illegal, but Trump tried to make it happen anyway. Knowingly, willfully, unlawfully.

Despite Revelations, Election LIES Still Dominate the GOP
June 17, 2022 at 8:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 17 Comments

New York Times:'
“The first three hearings of the House Jan. 6 committee have deeply undercut, if not demolished, the postelection myths repeated incessantly by former President Donald Trump and his supporters and embraced and amplified by Republicans in Congress.

“A parade of Republican witnesses
— his attorney general, William Barr, his daughter Ivanka Trump, and his own campaign lawyers —
knew he had lost the election and told him so.

Mr. Trump was informed that the demands he was making of Mr. Pence to block his defeat unilaterally were illegal.

Even the most active coup plotter, the conservative lawyer John C. Eastman, conceded before Jan. 6 that his scheme was illegal and unconstitutional, then sought a presidential pardon after it led to mob violence.”

GEE, CH SAYS HE DID NOTHING ILLEGAL OR UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SO WHY WOULD HE WANT A PARDON?

“Yet the most striking revelation so far may be how deeply Mr. Trump’s DISREGARD FOR THE TRUTH AND THE RULE OF LAW have penetrated into the Republican Party, taking root in the fertile soil of a right-wing electorate stewing in conspiracy theories and well tended by their media of choice.

The Republican response to the hearings

This bill didn't cause inflation, supply chain problems and related to the war in Ukraine did

Inflation is crippling it.

The inflation plaguing Joe Biden’s presidency is also shrinking what’s so far been his crowning legislative achievement — the infrastructure bill that Congress enacted just seven months ago.

Democrats have hailed the infrastructure law, with its $550 billion in new road, rail and broadband funding, as a transformative shift for the country. But inflation — which reached a 40-year high of 8.6 percent last month — has already slashed billions from its value, forcing states to cancel or delay projects as costs balloon.

These skyrocketing building costs are undermining Democrats’ ability to campaign on their hard-won infrastructure package — the result of months of grueling negotiations — in the crucial months before the midterm elections. And Republicans are seizing on the moment to blame Democrats for stalled projects, high prices and red tape.

In North Carolina, for instance, despite the gusher of cash coming out of the federal government, state officials will add new projects to their long-term infrastructure plans only if they replace existing ones.

“If [inflation] doesn’t slow down, we’re just going to end up eating into the capacity of getting more infrastructure done,” said Robert Scaer, CEO of the global engineering firm Gannett Fleming. “We’re going to spend a lot more money for fewer projects. … The buying power of [the infrastructure law] is absolutely being diluted.”

The House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Friday it's cooperating with a Justice Department request to share transcripts of their witness interviews.

The committee is "engaged in a cooperative process to address the needs of the Department of Justice. We are not inclined to share the details of that publicly," the panel said in a statement. "We believe accountability is important and won’t be an obstacle to the department’s prosecutions.”

In a letter to the committee this week, senior DOJ officials ramped up pressure on the panel to comply with their request from April for the transcripts, saying the documents are "critical" to its work investigating the riot.

“It is now readily apparent that the interviews the Select Committee conducted are not just potentially relevant to our overall criminal investigations, but are likely relevant to specific prosecutions that have already commenced,” the officials wrote, after Committee Chair Bennie Thomson, D-Miss., expressed reluctance in sharing the transcripts until the panel's investigation is complete.

“Given this overlap, it is critical that the Select Committee provide us with copies of the transcripts of all its witness interviews.”

The letter was signed by Matthew Graves, U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.; Kenneth Polite, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Criminal Division; and Matthew Olsen, assistant attorney general for the department’s National Security Division.

A Day After a Portrait of Pence in Danger, Trump Attacks Him Again

In a speech, Donald J. Trump was undeterred by the Jan. 6 House committee’s account of how his rioting supporters menaced the vice president, and the panel’s dismantling of many of his election lies.

In a speech on Friday in Nashville, former President Donald J. Trump continued to attack his former vice president for not blocking the certification of his 2020 defeat, even though doing so would have been illegal.

By Maggie Haberman

June 17, 2022

A day after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault illustrated the serious danger that rioters posed to Mike Pence, former President Donald J. Trump unleashed a new attack on the man who had served him as vice president, criticizing him for refusing to interfere with the Electoral College certification of the 2020 presidential contest.

Speaking on Friday afternoon before a faith-based group, Mr. Trump said that “Mike did not have the courage to act” in trying to unilaterally reject the Electoral College votes that were being cast for Joseph R. Biden Jr.

On Thursday, the House panel demonstrated that Mr. Trump and his advisers were told repeatedly that Mr. Pence had no power to block the certification and that doing so would violate the law, but pressed him to try anyway.

Max Boot said...

If you had an operating mind Scott, you would agree with him.

The most damaging witness for Trump was his own attorney general. Barr described Trump’s election lies as “bulls--t,” “crazy stuff,” “complete nonsense,” and suggested that Trump “has become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff.” Barr said he had tried to set Trump straight, but there was “never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”
Barr’s statement was seen by some lawyers as evidence of the “criminal intent” that would be needed to convict Trump of crimes such as sedition. Whether that is accurate or not, Trump’s own aides have made an open-and-shut case that he is not fit to run Mar-a-Lago, much less the United States of America. Either Trump is spectacularly delusional or spectacularly dishonest. Take your choice. Or maybe he’s both? Whichever the case, he has no business returning to the nation’s highest office.

You are spectacularly delusional or spectacularly dishonest too!



Roger Amick uncensored said...

The former president was the keynote speaker at the Christian conference, and along with attacking the House select committee investigating the Jan 6th insurrection, Trump stated his displeasure with how indicted rioters are being treated and suggested he would offer pardons if he became president again.

Combined with former Trump aides who are still either testifying before the House committee or have yet to speak to investigators, Trump is trying to derail the judicial system.



Hitler-like, Trump 




Roger Amick uncensored said...

The Wall Street Journal says that I'm correct and you are delusional.

From the Russian Revolution to Vietnam, war has been a reliable precursor to inflation. History may be about to repeat as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine tilts the balance of global political and economic forces toward higher inflation.

War fuels higher prices for three reasons. First, military needs on top of civilian demand strains the economy’s productive capacity, especially when that capacity has been damaged by bombs.

Second, embargoes, sanctions and fighting disrupt supply chains. These factors are clearly at work now: sanctions have disrupted already frayed supply chains, and military spending is on the rise.

Third, governments often finance war by printing money or keeping interest rates too low. So whether the immediate burst of inflation precipitated by Russia’s attack persists depends crucially on whether the Federal Reserve and other central banks have the means and inclination to push inflation back down.-

Which is exactly what they just did

The Schork Group principal Stephen Schork ripped President Biden’s economic policies and issued a warning that Americans are seeing "egregious spikes" in energy and food costs.

"It's a race," Schork told "Varney & Co.," Thursday. "Do we get to $6 before we hit the severe economic downturn? Because we are going into recession if we're not already here."

The oil analyst’s comments come on the heels of the White House shifting blame for rising fuel prices from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Big Oil companies.

White House Secretary Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called on Big Oil companies to "do the right thing" during a Wednesday press conference.

"[Big Oil companies should] …be patriots here and not to use the war as an excuse, or as a reason to not put out a production, to not do the capacity that is needed out there, so that the prices can come down," Jean-Pierre said.

Schork retorted, Thursday, arguing that oil companies "are not gouging" and that the Biden administration is the one to blame for record-high gas prices.

"[The] president the other day singled out Exxon for its egregious $5.5 billion profit that it reported in the first quarter. The company also paid $2.8 billion in taxes…I think that's pretty patriotic," he remarked.

On Thursday, the national average of one gallon of gas was exactly $5.00, according to AAA. Last year it was priced at $3.07 -- $1.93 less, as Americans continue to see skyrocketing prices at the pump.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised rates by 75-basis points for the first time in nearly three decades to tackle red-hot inflation.

Chairman Jerome Powell spoke at the Fed’s post-meeting press conference in Washington and told reports that policymakers may consider another 75-basis point increase in July.

"Clearly, today’s 75-basis-point increase is an unusually large one, and I do not expect moves of this size to be common," Powell said. "From the perspective of today, either a 50-basis-point or a 75-basis-point increase seems most likely at our next meeting."

The oil analyst weighed in on the direction he believes that the U.S. economy is going in.

"Recession is a forgone conclusion," Schork forecasted.

I'm still waiting for one of you clowns to direct me to where Luttig's opinion is codified into law.

And the fact that Luttig is willing to lend his opinion to the J6 Kangaroo Court in a lame attempt to provide it an air of legitimacy tells us that he DOES in fact approve of the path we are on to becoming a banana republic since kangaroo courts are vital to the existence of them.

Conspiracy Theories Detective said...

Even The Federalist Society has joined the Conspiracy Theories Society.

Yet the January 6 Committee and their cohorts in the press cast all the challenges to the November 2020 tabulations as crazy conspiracy theories of fraud peddled by Trump to steal the election.

The same anti-Trump media lied about Trump’s telephone call with Raffensperger, falsely telling the country that Trump had “pressured the Georgia Secretary of State’s chief investigator Frances Watson” to “find the fraud,” promising that she would soon be a “national hero.” But two months later, when the transcript of the call was released, it became clear that Trump was speaking of establishing there were 11,780 illegal votes from the various categories identified by his lawyers.

“The fact is we had already found many more illegal votes than the margin (11,779),” Mitchell told The Federalist, “We didn’t need to ‘find’ anything.” “We already knew which votes were illegal and had been included in the certified total,” the election lawyer said, stressing that, under Georgia law, if the “evidence established that there are more illegal or irregular votes than the margin of victory, the remedy is a new election.”

Last July, the secretary of state’s office confirmed to The Federalist that its “investigation into the approximately 35,000 residents who moved from one county to another more than 30 days before the election remain[ed] ongoing.” But follow-up outreaches to Raffensperger and key members of his staff inquiring on the status of the investigation went unanswered.

Meanwhile, the Jan. 6 Committee continues to spin challenges to the November 2020 election as concerning nothing but nonsensical claims of voter fraud. With the corrupt media’s cooperation, the vast majority of Americans may never learn of the systemic violations of election law, illegal voting, and the disparate treatment of voters in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the latter seen most clearly with the infiltration of funding from Mark Zuckerberg to targeted Democratic-heavy populations.

Heck, it’s unlikely most members of Congress know of these systemic problems with our electoral system. But with midterms around the corner and Democrats likely facing a bloodbath, don’t be surprised if left-leaning politicians and their friends in the press discover substantial problems in about five months’ time.

Reporting from The Federalist.

Luttig certainly does not regard the Jan 6 committee as a kangaroo court. If he did, he would not appear before them.

Besides, as he and you and I and everyone else all know, they are not a court.

Luttig is well aware that actual legal decisions must come from the Justice Department, based on a plethora of evidence.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

One of two scenarios is likely to follow in the wake of the hearings: Attorney General Merrick Garland decides to prosecute the former president and co-conspirators, or (if acquitted or never charged) Donald Trump is free to pursue the presidency in 2024, an attempt that is likely to fail in a free and fair election.

Both of these scenarios may result in widespread violent insurrection. Without a centrist coalition, an unlikely possibility in our politically polarized nation, we must find another way, one that avoids political violence and preserves the rule of law.

The resolution of this fraught situation may lie in a conditional presidential pardon of Donald Trump, a pardon that would stipulate that the former president acknowledge the commission of federal crimes and disqualify him from any federal elective office. While nauseating to contemplate, a pardon might be the only way to avoid civil war and the overthrow of American democracy.

Third Impeachment!

Between the lines: The committee has consistently invoked to a key impeachment tactic to synthesize its evidence: drawing a connection between Trump’s public comments and the actions of rioters.

The most recent hearing featured video of Trump calling for Pence to “come through for us,” followed by clips of rioters making violent threats towards Pence.The first hearing included a nearly 10-minute long, chronological montage of Jan. 6, which spliced together videos of the Capitol violence with Trump’s inflammatory tweets at the time of each clip.The second hearing, which focused on Trump's baseless election fraud claims, concluded with clips of Jan. 6 rioters echoing his claims.

Zoom in: Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who was the lead House manager in Trump's second impeachment, is also a member of the Jan. 6 committee.

He told Axios' Alayna Treene his focus in the investigation has been on "the activation and the mobilization of the mob and the domestic violent extremist groups."That aspect of Jan. 6 — how Trump assembled the mob and directed them to the Capitol — will be at the center of the committee's penultimate hearing according to Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

"Imagine if we had an ounce of what the Jan. 6 committee has now," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), one of the House impeachment managers, told Axios' Margaret Talev.

"When we tried Trump in the Senate, many of the windows at the Capitol were literally still shattered," he recalled. "The impeachment trial team approached dozens of Trumpworld witnesses. No one wanted to cooperate. Everyone said, 'See you in court,' which would have taken years."So we relied on Trump's public statements, tweets, rallies, to prove his intent — and the footage on the ground on the 6th to show the carnage. But there were a lot of gaps as to what Trump knew and what he did or didn't do to stop the insurrection."With the passage of time — and the stench of Trump becoming more, not less, pungent — witnesses came forward. Over 1,000. And now there's a clear picture of what Trump knew and did. Without any of that, we still managed to convince seven GOP senators that Trump was guilty."









Roger Amick uncensored said...

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) another one of the House managers, told Axios that, "What I've learned is ... the level of planning and the sophistication of this scheme." He said it "demonstrates unequivocally the president was responsible for the events of Jan. 6."

The bottom line: The Jan. 6 committee wants to succeed where the impeachment managers fell short.

PBS:
Amna Nawaz:
...I want to move on to the January 6 Committee hearings, of course, because it was another big week with two more hearings, public hearings, on the books. They now have three hearings behind them, three more, we believe, to go.

Each of you actually shared with us moments that stood out to you. And there was a lot of information in those hearings. I want to play for you those moments and get you to react.

Jonathan, you remembered this moment from former federal appellate Judge Michael Luttig. He'd been advising Vice President Mike Pence that Pence couldn't do what Trump wanted him to do, which was throw out the election results.

Here's just part of what Luttig said.

J. Michael Luttig, Former Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge:
"I would have laid my body across the road before I would have let the vice president overturn the 2020 election on the basis of that historical precedent."

Amna Nawaz:
Why did that moment stand out to you?

Jonathan Capehart:
Judge Luttig is a giant. He is a giant among conservative lawyers.

His reputation is sort of — I'm trying to think of the liberal equivalent. You don't get more senior and more revered than that. The fact that he said he would have thrown himself in the — in Vice President Pence's way to stop him from doing that was pretty incredible.

But the other thing he says that we did not show was that he had a warning, that Donald Trump and the folks who follow him present a quote, clear and present danger to our American democracy. This is no liberal Democrat who's talking. This is no just rank-and-file Democrat talking.

This is a tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool conservative jurist who is saying — ringing the alarm about this scheme that Eastman had come up with that they were trying to get Vice President Pence to go along with, and who is also saying, they're not done. This scheme is not done.

January 6 — and he didn't say this part, but I'm saying this part. January 6 was a rehearsal for what we could see in 2024.


Amna Nawaz:
Michael, I found it interesting [that] most of the folks who testified, most of the people we heard from were Republicans.

And you recalled this one moment that stood out to you where we heard from chief counsel to the vice president Greg Jacob. We learned a lot about what Mike Pence was doing on January 6, how he was down in a secure location continuing to work, even as rioters outside were chanting, "Hang Mike Pence."

Here's a moment in which Greg Jacob was talking about what happened then.

Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA):
"Does it surprise you to see how close the mob was to the evacuation route that you took? Forty feet is a distance from me to you, roughly."

Greg Jacob, Former Counsel to Vice President Mike Pence:
"I could hear the din of the rioters in the building while we moved. But I don't think I was aware that they were as close as that."

Rep. Pete Aguilar:
"Make no mistake about the fact that the vice president's life was in danger."

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Amna Nawaz:
Why did that moment stick with you?

Michael Gerson:
Because it's something we shouldn't get used to.

I mean, we had a moment with a mob intent on harm, fed and pushed by the sitting president of the United States against his most loyal lieutenant, and it was a near-run thing. This could have been the murder of the vice president. I mean, how would that — how would American politics have responded to such a thing?

And one thing that came out in the hearing is that, during this, as it was happening, President Trump was tweeting pressure tweets attacking the vice president for lacking courage, as this was happening. And that indicates to me a reckless regard for not just his political future, but his life.


This is a president — I think we learned again, but it's the most dramatic example. This is not just a corrupt politician. This is an evil man, an amoral man. And that, I think, is important as we come around to the next election, where he's the Republican front-runner. That is a dire situation for the republic.Amna Nawaz:
Jonathan, there was another moment that stood out to me, when we heard from communications between Trump's lawyer John Eastman sending messages — he's the one who's recommending sort of a plan for how to do this, to overturn the election results.

And the committee basically shared that he e-mailed, saying:
"I have decided I should be on the pardon list, if that is still in the works."

What was your reaction when you heard that?

Jonathan Capehart:
Well, I mean, my mouth was agape.

You only ask for a pardon if you know or feel that you have done something wrong. I would never ask for a pardon, right? Why?

Amna Nawaz:
You can say that…
(CROSSTALK)

Jonathan Capehart:
But Eastman knew. He knew. The committee showed that he knew from the beginning that what he was proposing was — this is public television. I almost went there — was not right, was not right.

And so he pushed it, pushed it, pushed it. And then, after January 6, he sees what happened and then says: I want to have — give me a pardon?


Amna Nawaz:
We still have — we still have three more hearings to go, I should say. And there's already been so much evidence laid out by the committee.

But, Michael, do you see — do you see a world in which they end the hearings, they wrap all this up, and there's no action from the Department of Justice? Is that a possibility?

Michael Gerson:
It's a definite possibility, although the Department of Justice made some noise this week, essentially, saying, we'd like those transcripts, the ones that you have of these witnesses, because there is a parallel investigation going on with the committee and the Justice Department, and they have started stepping on another's feet a little bit.

But that does show that the DOJ is looking closely at what's happening in these hearings, which I regard as a good sign. There's going to be tremendous pressure on Garland to do this. But I think it's going to be a very tough choice for them, because it would set a precedent of pursuing criminal charges against former presidents that we have never really had before.
We will see.


Amna Nawaz:
Do you also think Mike Pence should testify? We haven't heard from him.

Michael Gerson:
I would have loved to have heard him about all this.

Amna Nawaz:
Yes.

Michael Gerson:
And — but he has tried to get as far away from his actions, his own actions, as he possibly could, because he still sees a path to the presidency that doesn't exist.


Amna Nawaz:
We will see. Three more hearings, as I say, to go...
