Here is a terrific summary of what went down on J6. Click the link and read the article. smile

Their goals were clear: Keep Donald Trump in power at any cost, in defiance of the will of the American people. Their methods were obvious: Use any means necessary, up to and including lethal violence, to stop the certification of the 2020 election.

It is interesting to see the Jan 6 investigation and the DoJ investigation converging. O watched some of the Lester Holt interview. Garland is now referring to it as "the effort to prevent the lawful transfer of power". That's significant.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

It's going to be very satisfying if all of the fake electors get indicted for fraud. The interesting thing is the fraud occurred in Washington DC, when they submitted their phony elector lists. So they might be tried by a DC jury instead of their home state jury. Much less chance of jury nullification in DC.

Those convictions would be the perfect thing to prevent anybody from trying that in the future.

This has gotta be fake news or liberal alternative facts.

There is no way any red blooded American would ever try to overthrow the government. Never been done .... never will be done.

The 2020 was obviously stolen. Consider the real facts. Cemeteries full of Dead people voting. You would rebut by saying, it was investigated and the allegation was found to be false. Not so fast. Just because you can't find evidence doesn't mean it's not true. Now I can go on and on about how all the so-called investigations were merely coverups for those who stole the election .... I mean everyone is in on it except me .... and I know the truth.

Look .... when you can't find the real evidence, all it means is, space aliens did it .... and you know that can't be proven. So speaketh The Donald.

I have now seen a number of the righteous right proudly state that "I have no facts to back me up but this is what I believe." The thing is that they seem to be winning their primaries. this, I guess, is because voters have the same belief or they just don't care?

just pointing out the obvious arguments these deluded folks will use to believe whatever the Donald tells them to believe.

O and don't believe the polls which say the Donald is losing support ... when he speaks the deluded deplorables respond with songs of praise

The Plan:
Quote
Trump [was to] purposefully incited the mob of January 6th for that purpose but Thursday's testimony is far more suggestive of a plan to invoke the act after Pence overturned the election, inciting expected street protests from the people whose votes had just been discarded and whose democracy had just been incinerated. This would have given Trump the excuse he needed to solidify his coup with a classic military intervention.

I'm pretty sure the "response to ANTIFA by proclaiming martial law" thingie was one of the plans that got circulated before January 6th. And the people who knew about that plan in advance, outed themselves by trying to blame ANTIFA for the insurrection. All DOJ has to do is look at public statements during and after the insurrection to find a whole bunch of co-conspirators. Knowing about the plans for a crime but failing to report it is the very definition of conspiracy.
