Ex-Judge Has Stark Message for January 6 Committee
June 15, 2022 at 8:57 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 31 Comments

Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig, a staunch conservative long admired by many Republicans, will testify before the House’s Jan. 6 committee on Thursday with an urgent and stark message, CBS News reports: “America’s democracy was almost stolen from her.”

“Luttig will also likely state that the Republican National Committee is wrong to have referred to some of the events of Jan. 6, 2021 as ‘legitimate political discourse’ and warn fellow conservatives to not ignore the gravity of what Trump did as he scrambled to hold onto the presidency that day.”

George Conway to MSNBC: “I really want to hear this testimony. I think it’s going to be a blockbuster moment in these hearings.”

Kremlin papers appear to show Putin’s plot to put Trump in White House

Exclusive: Documents suggest Russia launched secret multi-agency effort to interfere in US democracy

Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.

The key meeting took place on 22 January 2016, the papers suggest, with the Russian president, his spy chiefs and senior ministers all present.

They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.

Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.

By this point Trump was the frontrunner in the Republican party’s nomination race. A report prepared by Putin’s expert department recommended Moscow use “all possible force” to ensure a Trump victory.

Seems to have worked, based on what we can see. Can’t wait to hear what the judge has to say, though, about Trump’s treason and sundry crimes to remain in office.
