MSNBC Daily Piece - DOJ Officials Thwarted Trump's Coup. Next Step: A Criminal Investigation

As I assert/argue in my piece published today by MSNBC Daily, given the low standard for opening a criminal investigation and the overwhelming evidence that Donald Trump violated multiple federal laws, DOJ undoubtedly is knee-deep into criminal investigations of Donald Trump. Indeed, failing to investigate these crimes would be a gross abdication of DOJ's law enforcement responsibilities at the least and a sign of corruption and coverup at the most. Given the present leadership of our DOJ - from Merrick Garland to Lisa Monaco to Kristen Clark to Vanita Gupta and others - DOJ has left behind the corruption of Bill Barr and is again an honorable, trustworthy and ethical institution.

Perhaps they should conduct a criminal investigation, but the 1/6 committee should issue it's report first. Much investigation has already been done and I imagine Garland would wait for either criminal referrals from the select committee and judiciary committees or indictments by a grand jury to go after political actors. Meanwhile NY state is closer to putting Trump away and ruining his life than anybody, others might go down first and the feds could wait until Trump is indicted or even imprisoned in NY before moving on him. No federal pardon possibility in a NY state maximum security prison, he will be gone and muzzled, but not forgotten, nor should what he tried to do. As soon as he's gone and muzzled it will be Donald who? As they try to memory hole the whole sordid episode, but the base runs the party now and Trump owns it and when he's gone, his ghost will haunt them for long time.

Official in charge of Wisconsin's election review attends conspiracy-fueled symposium hosted by MyPillow's Mike Lindell
The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who is conducting a review of the state's presidential election spent recent days at a conspiracy theory-fueled symposium on election fraud headed by MyPillow's chief executive.

Gableman — who claimed the election was stolen at a November rally backing Donald Trump — was joined in Sioux Falls this week by a state lawmaker and a member of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

In addition, Gableman last week visited Arizona to see its review of ballots, the former justice told the Associated Press. The Arizona Senate seized ballots and voting machines from Maricopa County as part of an election audit that has drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans.

Gableman told the AP he was there "out of an honest effort to find out if anyone has any information that will be helpful in carrying out my duties as special counsel."

Also attending the event hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell were two other Wisconsin Republicans — state Elections Commissioner Bob Spindell and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun of Campbellsport

Ramthun falsely claimed at the symposium that voting software recently approved by the Wisconsin Elections Commission would "scrub" votes from machines used in the presidential election.

In an interview, Spindell said he was learning about the potential for vote hacking. He said he wants to review more information about how the 2020 election was conducted but added he recognizes Joe Biden is the president.

"One thing I think I've learned is anything can be hacked," he said.

Spindell said Gableman arrived late Tuesday and spent Wednesday at the symposium. He said he didn't have an opportunity to talk to him in depth.

"He was right in the middle trying to absorb everything that was said," Spindell said of Gableman.

Democratic state Rep. Mark Spreitzer of Beloit said Gableman’s attendance at the event shows he can’t be taken seriously. He said the public should discount any report he produces about the election in Wisconsin.

"This Lindell conference is obviously on the fringe even of Republican thought right now. That really further undermines any credibility that Gableman might have had," said Spreitzer, who sits on the Assembly Elections Committee.

Ramthun wrongly told the symposium he believed Dominion Voting Systems machines and software recently approved for use in Wisconsin would wipe out records of votes from the presidential election.

"If I’m told that Dominion is currently in the process of scrubbing the machines in my state, I’ve got a big problem with that," Ramthun said, according to a clip of his speech posted online by Gateway Pundit, a conservative site that often promotes conspiracy theories.

"And the first thing I want to do is, how do I stop that right now in its tracks? How do I stop that to prevent further damage from occurring so that we can continue the process of a true, full forensic investigation to get the facts out to find closure.”

Ann Jacobs, the Democrat who serves as chairwoman of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, said Ramthun’s claim was false and irresponsible.

"Rep. Ramthun has apparently never used a computer," she said. "Software updates don’t wipe out your computer. They add lines of code to existing programs.

"Secondly, the data of elections is not stored in those machines. It is stored on removable devices. That is how we are able to re-use these machines in multiple elections. When we have a February primary and an April election, the data sticks are removed from those devices and stored."

Well I haven't seen the sky crack open yet, or seen Cheeto Jesus descent from a fucking cloud to assume the mantle of leadership. Oh Mike, you lied to the American people, did Donald tell you he had a pre signed pocket pardon for you or something? From what I've seen of mike on video, it looks like he took up using meth again, or was it crack? It appears like he's about to crack wide open, if he isn't doing drugs. Perhaps a spell of rest in a hospital after a little chase with butterfly nets and guys in white coats.

AG Rosen Tells Senators Trump was "Persistent" in Pressuring DOJ Officials to Overturn Election

The evidence of Trump's crimes mounts every day. The Washington Post has reported that one of the things former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen told senators is that Trump persistently pressured Department of Justice officials to say the election was corrupt in furtherance of Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the presidential election. And the American people await accountability and . . . justice

Where do you get your news?
From everywhere. I don`t like mainstream liar media. You have your opinion about fraud, but you don`t say how many thousand videos probing that were deleted from YouTube, you don`t talk about thousands of ballots dropped, or stolen. Or duplicated ballots. Or votes counted a lot of times. Or fake adresses, or dead people voting. Or people voting where they don`t live. You know what I mean? You say Jan 6 was a coup, but I didn`t hear Trump saying go take the new govt. If that was a coup, what is Black lives Matter rioting, looting, burning federal buildings, or people`s businesses? I don`t understand your bias, what do you want? Communism? Or what?

Evidence is as elusive to you as intelligence, Komrad.
