Secondly, please don't do appeal to authority. I like McCaskill too, but she isn't the "Pope" spouting sacred writ.

Right now, the claim is a big fail.

(39 posts)I wish they would just focus on putting trump in jail on the theft of classified documents. That seems like the easiest and direct prosecution. Itll be a miracle if they could even arrest him and hold him in jail a day. Unless trump was texting the proud boys himself, what good will this now do?

(108,990 posts)WASHINGTON A member of the far-right nationalist Proud Boys was in communication with a person associated with the White House in the days just before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
Location, cellular and call record data revealed a call tying a Proud Boys member to the Trump White House, the official said. The F.B.I. has not determined what they discussed, and the official would not reveal the names of either party.
The connection revealed by the communications data comes as the F.B.I. intensifies its investigation of contacts among far-right extremists, Trump White House associates and conservative members of Congress in the days before the attack.

A law enforcement official said that it was not Mr. Tarrios communication with Mr. Stone that was being scrutinized, and that the call made in front of Mr. Rubios home was a different matter. That two members of the group were in communication with people associated with the White House underscores the access that violent extremist groups like the Proud Boys had to the White House and to people close to the former president.
