Was the point ever made that Trump knew they were armed? (Original Post)
Under The Radar
Feb 2021

(46,911 posts)1. The point was made that Trump's staff had been following the communications
online between the proud boys and other groups long before the insurrection.
So he had to know they were talking about weapons and violence.

This shows the violence and cavalier disregard for life.

As good and thorough as the house managers have been, i fear that there will be little impact and we still wont get 17 crossover votes.

(46,911 posts)4. Yes, agree on both points.
I would be shocked if they changed their minds about the vote.
The GOP has totally lost their way. The entire party needs to be dissolved for the good of the country.
And yes, I wonder if criminal prosecution is a real possibility.
The evidence is all there.
