Also note the defense oversight board or some such with Lewandowski and that CONway woman (I forget her first name) installed.

Note mention of Attorney General in first paragraph. Barr resigned late December because he knew a plot was in the works and did not want to be involved, at least in that bit of seditionist nonsense.

Do nothing, and make sure it looks like you're doing nothing, unless I authorize you to do more than nothing, which I won't authorize. Got it?

The biggest danger to our democracy is Democrats in Washington who don't understand this. 10 months since the attack on our Capitol and Democrats are discussing whether Steve Bannon should have executive immunity when he was never in the Trump administration.

Bannon's subpoena should be a no brainer, it is not a precedent for other subpoenas to follow. Bannon should have been on TV, before Congress, before the American people 9 months ago. My god, it took a matter of days to hold televised hearings on president Biden's evacuation of Afghanistan where GQP traitors were allowed to bash president Biden and general Milley right there on TV.

WTF are these hearings, if they happen, being held behind closed doors? I don't want to hear this national security bs.

All will soon be moot anyway, it will be Kornacki time, nothing gets done in an election year.

People are screaming for Democrats to see the urgency at hand, but I guess more Democrats are screaming for patience, which to me is a right wing narrative. Delay and obstruct are the GQP's game plan.

...we won't have to be bothered with it anymore. It will just be a campaign issue. Let the voters decide what they want done.

Is that the direction we are headed?

I’d love to hear what a handwriting analyst would say about that! Even my writing better than that and my scrawl is partially deliberate so it can’t be easily forged.

Lock every traitor up....financiers, actors in government, police and military, supreme court justices, previous administration including rump, and each and every fool that went there to overthrow our government and democracy.

Without this response, we will lose our Democracy and our Country. It's time for law and order.

After hearing Merick Garland's mentor is part of The Federalist society, I don't have much faith in the consequences for those that attacked us.
