Mark my word - when we see the final report on January 6

[malaise]

the Co-ordinator in Chief's name will be the same as that of the Insurrectionist in Chief.
His biggest goons will also be named

[FM123]

1. Exactly!

[BlueJac]

2. For sure!

[uponit7771]

3. K&R, the DC Cap basically said he couldn't get the NG to move. Now Blunt is trying

... to blame escalation on Sund, they're tossing him under the bus no dounbt

[malaise]

4. But Irving changed the time

First it was 2.oo and now it is 1.29 or 1.30.

[uponit7771]

5. lol ... Portman, " why weren't you guys prepared for full force treason !??!"

[malaise]

7. The Trump pro police group wanted to know why police fired tear gas

Johnson is stark raving mad

[Sur Zobra]

6. And not a single

one of them will be charged or arrested

[Escurumbele]

13. Let's stay positive and hope that what you are saying is not true

We need to write more positive scripts. If they expect all of us to accept that the guilty will not be charged, then that makes it easier for them.

This is not spiritual kind of thing, but we do need to stop telling the world and the universe that we expect the worst when it comes to republicans and that they never get charged, I think we need to demand from our Democratic leaders that they pursue accountability of those who have wronged the country.

[wiggs]

8. Agree about the root causes and who was involved. But I believe TPTB, including some dems,

don't always expose a lot of the ugly truths about our democracy, role in the world, and our leaders. Seems to me that elected officials and power brokers have been protective in terms of our image of ourselves and our image in the world.

The last four years were ugly beyond belief, and we came very close to upending the US apple cart. I think there are many who don't want everyone to know ALL the facts if it doesn't do them and our reputation any good. There will be a negotiation over what is public and what is not.

[malaise]

9. Excellent post

The media also paints a rosy picture for the world.

[ancianita]

11. True.

Yet, the full truth will come out, and those who want it will know, even if the public at large doesn't. No good comes for either party from the public not knowing the whole truth.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. There are too many avenues for the information to leak out and to rapidly spread. I agree TPTB will

try to muffle some of the facts, names and connections. This is so far beyond Watergate, Arms for Hostages, or the 2000 Selection. IMO it resembles the scale and depth behind 9/11 and the subsequent wars.

It will depend upon how much the FBI, DHS, CIA, and NSA want revealed about what Trump was up to and with whom, and exactly when those agencies were aware of it.

It will depend on how willing our President, his staff, and members of Congress are to push this into very uncomfortable areas of discussion. It will also depend on the ability of those with strings to pull in government to hide their complicity, however small or large.

I have doubts about how deep or thorough the investigations will be mostly because it is going to be a mostly Democratic endeavor. The GOP has a lot to answer for, including collusion in the event. They're already trying to deny it happened the way it did, in spite of massive evidence. The way some of them speak you'd think it was a defense prepared well in advance of Jan 6.

[wiggs]

31. Agree. Several of your examples come to my mind as well. Election integrity, or lack of,

especially. We can't be a beacon of democracy if we admit election hacking, suppression, gerrymandering, census manipulation, etc.

Oddly, I think dems have protected misbehavior by the gop in many cases...typically being the types to want to govern instead of throwing figurative grenades even when grenade throwing is deserved. We've been willing to 'move on' far too often.

So the job of exposure has come more so from the outside...journalists (often foreign), Lincoln Project, gop ex-officials. But there's so much noise that things get lost.

[Irish_Dem]

26. I agree, some of the facts will be kept secret. We will find out years down the road if at all.

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. I bet there are all kinds of events, the total truth of which we don't, and probably never will know

JFK is the biggest one that also leaps the most readily to mind, of course.

[Irish_Dem]

38. Yes. The American people only get bits and pieces of the truth about major events.

The rich and powerful are protected.
And the public would be outraged to hear what is really happening.

Best book about JFK's death:

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters by James Douglass


There are other topics of interest, but won't mention!

[liberalla]

10. Without a doubt. I hope they don't soft pedal it.

[Roc2020]

12. Of course. And time will keep hunting

Trump. He will be hunted for eternity.

[OMGWTF]

14. Charlie Pierce (Esquire magazine) said Trump's new career is as a professional defendant.

[KS Toronado]

21. I like that insight! Let it be true.

[demtenjeep]

30. that is great

I like his new career

[calimary]

15. I like that! Coordinator-in-Chief.

That works WELL!

[malaise]

16. Merkley is addressing the FBI intelligence faiiure

That this didn't make it to the leadership tells me this was an inside job.

[calimary]

25. I suspect you're onto something.

[DownriverDem]

18. It's a new day

folks. It's about time too.

[mopinko]

19. his pardoned goons will be present.

[rampartc]

20. i don't think so

the purpose of these bipartisan investigations is to discover a result that will move the country "forward" with the least problem for the actual perps who not be sworn, will not testify and will be redacted in the final report.

[world wide wally]

22. We know that he probably didn't plan the details, but he did have the last word.

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. Do you hear yourself?

"...plan the details." Do the words "plan" and "details" leap to mind as part of his skill set, either separately or apart?

[Warpy]

23. At least you'll see most of his staffers who did what they thought he wanted

and were very eager to please. I think it's going to be difficult to pin it directly on him for a variety of reasons, mostly because he expresses himself so poorly.

I will be delighted if it's mostly his enablers who are jailed or fined heavily. That will isolate him completely. That's what I want to see, it's the worst thing you can do to a narcissist.

[randr]

24. They, apparently, have phone records of all Congressional communications

The list will grow as testimony is presented by all the agencies gathering info.

[RussBLib]

27. That is what SHOULD happen

There's the rub

[demtenjeep]

28. Joshy boy and cruzin teddy

have got to be with them

[sarcasmo]

29. Stone, Rudy, Alex Jones , and Trump.

[Grasswire2]

32. Did you see, Malaise, the answer to the question I've been asking?

"Was there gas available?"

And now, today, a qualified witness says yes. She (a veteran) identified military grade CS gas in the air in testimony under oath today.

They BROUGHT IT WITH THEM.

[malaise]

33. They came to kill Democrats

Mike Pence's silence is troubling

[SunSeeker]

34. Of course. Trump didn't spring Stone out of jail so Stone could get more Nixon tattoos.

Stone immediately took his bag of dirty tricks and applied it to overturning Biden’s win.

[electric_blue68]

35. Whaaaaaa!??!?!!!? 😧

[Blue Owl]

39. tRump's shit-covered fingerprints are all over this botch job

LOCK HIM UP!
