Seriously wondering if Trump cancelled 1/6 event because he got a heads

[PA_jen]

Up on what AT Garland's Wednesday's conference will be about.


I don't want to jinks anything but I keep thinking there has to be more to that Wednesday news conference.

1. I think the networks didn't send the news crews down there. So he had a hissy fit

[Ocelot II]

3. That's probably it. He wanted to upstage the 1/6 commemoration being held in DC

and just figured out that it wasn't going to work.

[malaise]

9. It was going to be a big flop

12. Flop. Sweat. Flop sweat.

😝

2. I don't expect a lot from the AG press conference

I expect a summary of all they've accomplished and where they're heading. I think if they were dropping something new and major for the anniversary, they would have just done it rather than give an accounting of the action thus far.

[Walleye]

4. I think he'll tell us numbers. How many have been arrested and are in jail

I don’t really expect much more than that

[Ocelot II]

5. It's probably not the AG announcement that TFG wanted to upstage so much as

the commemoration being held at the Capitol. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/pelosi-announces-capitol-events-mark-one-year-anniversary-jan-6-n1286804

7. I can sure agree with that, and Trump is losing the duel with patriotism now

The importance of democracy is front and center for 2022. Not Trump and his shadow government. The tide has begun to turn.

[Sanity Claws]

6. that is what I thought too.

[Beetwasher.]

8. Yes, His Speech Would Be Further Evidence of His Guilt

And probably be considered a new crime in and of itself, perhaps obstruction or continued incitement and sedition.

11. First thing a lawyer tells a defendant is

Shut up!

It may be a possibility that he has already been served.

10. By 2024, trump will be irrelevant to all but the 20% hardcore.

13. Trump canceled Jan. 6 event as 'it was becoming clear he wasn't likely to get live TV coverage'

TFG was not going to get live TV coverage

Link to tweet

On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump announced he was pulling the plug on a press conference he was scheduled to give on the first anniversary of the January 6 Capitol insurrection, not even a week after formally announcing it would be taking place.

According to Maggie Haberman of The New York Times, one of the reasons for the cancelation is that Trump's advisors and associates privately told him that the press conference would be a mistake — and that he would probably not get his event covered live, something that he reveled in throughout his TV career and as president.

14. And I wonder if he canceled because he knows something is going to happen

and he doesn't want to be called out for instigating it (again).

[gratuitous]

15. Like getting served with a subpoena?

Wouldn't that be hilarious?

[Joinfortmill]

16. Yup.
