J6 hearing testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson presents both "smoking gun" and "loaded gun" evidence
6,830 views Jul 2, 2022 It's inexplicable that people are still looking for "smoking gun" evidence involving the crimes of Donald Trump. Deeply and directly incriminating evidence against Trump is in abundant supply and has been for years. Still, the testimony of Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson provides yet additional smoking gun evidence. But the January 6 House select committee investigating the insurrection also provided dramatic evidence of witness tampering by Team Trump, in what could be characterized (figuratively) as "loaded gun" evidence. Here is how law enforcement needs to deal with these two different kinds of evidence.

Conservative Writer Says Trump Is Making The January 6th Case Against Him So Much Worse
75,828 views Jul 2, 2022 Writing in The Bulwark recently, conservative writer Amanda Carpenter makes the case that Donald Trump is making the case against him put forth by the January 6th Committee so much worse. The main reason for this, Carpenter says, is because he continues to push the very things that the Committee says he did after the 2020 election. It is hard for him to fight back when he keeps making the same mistakes, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

#Gutless Garland needs to file multiple charges against Trump in separate courts and let Trump fight case after case If he slides on one there is another to absorb his lawyers attention. I would not want to see them all rolled in to one case.
Maybe start with the Riot Incitement, then the False Electors conspiracy, then ... ad infinitum! While he fights Ga and NY state cases, while dodging DOJ Federal cases one after another. If he geets convicted in one he can show up in and orange jumpsuit and a burr cut for the others.
But don't forget Rudy, Meadows, Navarro, and the 100 Congress Critters who signed up for the "Green Bay Sweep", they all need to be charged too.
Might need a few more DOJ lawyers to cover all the cases, but hey, we gave Ukrain Billions for weapos to fight for Democracy. We can afford to spend a billion or two on defending our own Democracy.

If trump is charged federally, the next gop presidential candidate will run on pardoning him. I would like to see him charged in a state where will not receive a get out of jail free card.

Oh oh oh....but would they follow through. I think they would not.

You know how in star wars there is always the master and apprentice bad guy, and the only way you can reach the top is to overthrow the current guy. Yeah it's like that. Whomever has to take out trump if they want to reach the top and win at being the head dude of bad guys.

It’s a low bar on the right

I tend to agree, that the intention of going to the capitol is the most important thing, however actions speak louder than words when it comes to intentions. Physical actions involving violence and threats speak to intentions loudest of all, he used violence against federal officers in an attempt to get to the capitol. It was the same crime his supporters were committing at the same time, assaulting federal officers in order to get to the capitol. It was all part of one seditious conspiracy to attack the US government and he planned it, organized it, helped finance it and intended to participate in it or personally direct the actual attack on the capitol.

It might be scandalous, but it originated with the secret service agents telling a sworn witness about the event and then publicly imputing that witnesses testimony. This caused doubt, controversy and hundreds of death threats towards a witness who has already been tampered with by team Trump. I'd say fire the agents involved for talking about it and send them to testify before the J6 panel, behind closed doors if required, publicly preferred, since we already know it happened, thanks to them.

He is the speaker of the house now, he has his arm shoved up Kevin McCarthy's ass and is working his mouth like a ventriloquist's dummy and has been for awhile.

i don't think so, really...he lashed out like a petulant child, which is exactly what he is....the idea that a 76 year old big mac addict whose sole source of exercise is waddling back and forth to a golf cart once a week is going to use physical force against a secret service agent is a little silly...

an open letter to Garland Merrick

I don't think you should be the Attorney General of the United States...You were a very good judge, and should have been on the supreme court, but a judge is a defender of the law, a shield between the lawless and immoral and the good people of the country.
The Attorney General is a defender as well, but only in the sense that a good offense is the best defense...You no longer carry a shield, you now carry a sword...USE IT.
Our democracy is under grave threat from the machinations of the republican party. They have conspired by gerrymandering and out right lying, behind closed doors, to place as many republicans in sensitive local offices as the can, so that they can interfere in the next elections. They have achieved a grievously packed supreme court that is aiding and abetting the republican's criminal schemes.
You HAVE to press charges against as many of them as you can...if they're allowed to remain in office through the 2022 elections, they will use the positions they have already gained to lie, cheat and steal their way into even more positions, in preparation for the 2024 presidential elections...
those slates of false electors have to be charged, the republican senators and congress people who aided the plot have to be charged.
I don't expect you to prosecute trump immediately, if ever. He has become more or less irrelevant...the real damage to the republican party would come from putting as many of them in a cell as humanly possible between now and November, and the one funny thing in this whole travesty is that they would be doing the damage to themselves.
Their carefully laid plots would fall apart with many of the key facilitators sitting in a prison cell.
Then it would be time to start impeaching perjurers from the supreme court...But that can't happen, if you don't help dismantle their criminal organization right now.
You are no longer a shield, BE the sword.
