1/6 Hearings: The Secret Service wouldn't LET TFG go to the attack

Last edited Thu Jun 30, 2022, 09:11 AM - Edit history (1)






As if he had any intention of going.

His statement that he was going was incendiary.

Did Hutchinson and known liar Mckanenny cover for him on this point during their testimonies?

1. The Big Orange Pig hates walking. He'd never physically be able to walk the distance to the Capitol.

2. He hates his supporters and doesn't want to rub elbows with them. All he wants is their money. He would have to be in very close quarters with some of the most disgusting people on the planet at the Capitol.

3. As stupid and egocentric as The Big Orange Pig is, he'd have to know the optics of leading murderers and treasonous scumbags to the Capitol to overturn a free and fair election would be much, much more than a "smoking gun". It would be the only exhibit necessary to convict him of high treason.

He may jump up and down and scream about how he wanted to lead his cult to the Capitol, but I doubt he really meant it.

There was NOTHING for him to do which attests to how much of an empty claim it was.

There was no mike, stage outside and he definitely had no place or role to play inside.

Imagine if he had gone…the image would’ve been horrific.

He wanted a moment of greatness with blood everywhere. But he would be perfectly safe and in control because of all the terrorists supporting him.

that its impossible to overestimate what he might do.

I bet all that ketchup rage was due to his being blocked from making a big scene at the Capitol.

Burst into the Chamber with the boxes of states' votes and destroy them. Then declare himself Fuhrer.
