  1. BBC: Trump's speech on 6 January inflamed the crowd that was attempting a coup d'etat. [1] Here's some things he said.

    Trump: BBC defamed me! I demand five billion dollars' recompense!

    Trump lawyers: <file lawsuit for $5 billion against BBC and various related orgs> This damaged his brand and reputation and all his many businesses and hurts him economically in a multitude of ways.

    BBC: This was never broadcast in the US and has nothing to do with these other orgs.

    Judge: What BS is this?

    Trump lawyers: Oops. <dismiss other orgs from suit>

    Trump: Ten billion! Arglebargle bUt HeR EMaiLs aNTiFa lock her up mumble <snore>...

    Trump lawyers: At least ten billion, your honour.

    BBC: Okay, so to respond to that we need the financial records from all these businesses that Trump claims were damaged financially.

    Trump lawyers: <panicking, tears> Oh no! No, they don't need to see Trump businesses' financial statements! They just need to take us at our word.

    BBC: <snort>

    Judge: Horseshit.

    Trump lawyers: <pee down leg>

    BBC lawyers: <steak dinner>

    [1] It wasn't a "riot", and therefore the participants were not "rioters". It was an attempted self-coup, or a putsch.

  2. Reparations for slavery? “Not feasible.” $1.8B for Jan. 6 MAGA insurrectionists who beat cops? “They’re patriots.” — Trump & the GOP. The hypocrisy isn’t a bug. It’s the policy. 🗳️ #MAGA #January6 #Democrats #LagunaBeach Credit to DCcartoonist

  3. How do Conservatives Feel About Trump's Pardons for Jan 6 Rioters?

    #DonaldTrump #January6 #ConservativeViews #PoliticalDiscussion Hey everyone! 👋 I’d love to hear your thoughts on a pretty hot topic lately. How are you feeling about Donald Trump potentially pardoning the January 6 rioters, especially those who physically assaulted police officers? 🤔 Here are a few points to consid...

  4. that #frontline doc last night had me reflecting on another #January6 precursor which took place in #PDX.

    2018-08-04, PORTLAND:
    #PPB had set up a designated safe space for the #altright to hold their klan rally, but were trying to check for weapons as a condition of entering the event area. (fascist facebook influencer #JoeyGibson had been making lots of noise about how it would soon be “time for the guns to come out” in his war against portlanders who don’t appreciate nazis murdering their friends). anyway, the out of town fascists (many of whom later did january 6) just refused to enter and held a larger, armed rally right next to the space until they got treated to the spectacle of Portland Police suddenly-but-predictably attacking the anti-nazi #portland residents with near-deadly force.

    2021-01-06, DC:
    a similar dynamic took place in #DC on #j6 - lots of the #MAGA fascists didn’t want to go through the metal detectors and have their weapons confiscated in order to watch their would-be dictator give one more of his trademark syphilitic rants, so they just waited nearby until it was time to do the putsch. according to the #J6Committee this made #trump really angry (no joke: because it made the crowd look smaller on camera) and he demanded that the metal detectors be removed.

  5. Heard about the #AR15 pins worn by the least trustworthy members of Congress, such as #GeorgeSantos ?

    Turns out they were gifts from #GA09 House Rep. #AndrewClyde 👉 huffpost.com/entry/gop-andrew-

    He owns gun stores in northeast Georgia and is a key ally of the #NRA (a Russian asset 👉 npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/n ).

    This is him ⬇️ #January6 !

  6. #KristinDavis "said that the day before [#January6] she’d accompanied [#RogerStone] on a private jet flight from [FL] ... supplied by #Publix heiress #JulieFancelli. Fancelli, who Davis described as a “fan” of both Stone and right-wing radio host #AlexJones, also supplied the funds to pay for rooms for Stone, Davis and several others at the luxurious Willard Intercontinental Hotel in #Washington, Davis said."

  7. @TheUSASingers Everyone should remember that #FBI #ChristopherWray, #ChristopherMiller, #JamesMurray, #DHS, #WalterPiatt #RyanMcCarthy, all were responsible and did nothing prior to #Jan6, despite the Intel, Trump election lies n coup plans, plus open calls for Civil War by #OathKeepers #ProudBoys, then they slow walked the response on #January6.

    None were fired despite their egregious and inexcusable failures, and the #January6committee gave them a pass

  8. @Brandi_Buchman I want to know why #January6Committee gave a pass to #ChristopherWray #ChristopherMiller #WalterPiatt #RyanMcCarthy & #JamesMurray; they did nada before or on #January6.

    Per #MarkMilley, “everyone knew“ Trump wanted a coup & #Jan6 would be violent, besides the open public calls for #CivilWar, egged on by election fraudster #Trump, who thought he had #Military backing for a coup. Why did #Trump believe that? Why did #MichaelFlynn bro #CharlesFlynn escape scrutiny?

  9. @JoshuaHolland Why did Trump think he had support from the #military to overthrow the #government, republic and #Constitution?

    Why does the #January6Committee Report give a pass to #Federalistsociety #FBI #ChristopherWray #USSS #JamesMurray #DOD #Trump pick #ChristopherMiller #RyanMcCarthy #CharlesFlynn #WalterPiatt? They did nothing before #January6 when they were open calls for Civil War, besides the Intel.

    Gen #MarkMilley testified “everyone knew” #Jan6 would be violent

  10. @Bullix @jimstewartson

    And the #January6Committee swallowed whole #Trump SecDef claim that the reason they balked at DC and Capitol Police requests for DCNG backup before and during #January6 is cuz #ChristopherMiller #WalterPiatt #RyanMcCarthy alleged concern about optics of involving the military in an election after backlash due to #MarkEsper #BLM overreach. And they tried to blame Gen #WilliamWalker politico.com/news/2021/12/06/j

  11. @sethcotlar #RayEpps should be investgated, but there may be nothing there.

    More consequential; #January6Committee was charged by law with fully investigating the #January6 events and causes, but glibly gave a pass to #FederalistSociety #FBI Dir #ChristopherWray #USSS head #JamesMurray and #Trump Acting Sec Def #ChristopherMiller who did nada before and on #J6.

    #MarkMilley said there was concern there'd a be a coup; who did #DonaldTrump think he had support from, and why?

  12. #January6Committee "believes sufficient evidence exists for a criminal referral of #JohnEastman and certain other #Trump associates" Obstruction charge, DOJ referral, p. 105

    "... conspiracy ... appears to have also included other individuals such as #Chesebro, [#RudyGiuliani], andMarkMeadows, but this Committee does not attempt to determine all of the participants of the conspiracy, ... ." Conspiracy charge, DOJ referral, p. 106

  13. @jeffsonstein Right. #Trump said he knew they weren’t there to hurt him. #MarkMilley said, “everyone new“ the #January6 was going to be violent. Still, #ChristopherWray, #JamesMurray and #ChristopherMiller did nothing before #Jan6, and then nothing for three hours and 19 minutes while Trump nuts tried to overthrow the government.
    And the #january6committee is giving these institution heads up pass for their alleged “failure“ to defend the #Constitution against domestic enemies

  14. @thebellman Meanwhile, in the US, the #January6committee published a report documenting massive amounts of Intel received by FBI, Secret Service and DOD, and excused them for doing nothing to prepare for the #January6 insurrection, or for sitting on their hands for three hours and 19 minutes while the Capitol got ransacked by #Trump nuts interfering with the peaceful transfer of power

  15. @statmonkey @EarthOne That's not a claim I made. What's the point of keeping a guy in charge who failed so unbelievably in the face of an obvious insurrection looming?

    Wray is blaming MPD and Capitol Police, but they had requested DC National Guard in advance, due to the same intel the FBI, DHS, USSS and DoD was getting.

    The claim that DoD was balking at approving DCNG for #January6 due to #BLM crackdown strains credulity, but #January6Committee swallowed it whole.

  16. CW: Over the Cliff Notes: January 6 Report

    @Teri_Kanefield Violent #WhiteSupremacists in #military and #LawEnforcement has been a known problem for years.
    The #FederalistSociety #FBI Director #ChristopherWray didn’t act on the intel they received, as #MAGA publicly called for #CivilWar
    #ChristopherMiller #WalterPiatt and #RyanMcCarthy slowwalked the #DCNationalGuard response.
    Unacceptable that the #January6Committee gave them a pass for #January6

  17. Secret Service knew of #NeoNazi violent plans to occupy the #Capitol:

    "(December 29, 2020, email from [email protected] to [email protected] titled “FW: [EXTERNAL EMAIL] -

    "Neo-Nazi Calls on D.C. Pro-Trump Protesters to Occupy Federal Building.”)."
