Wow! Michael Fanone just told Nicolle Wallace (on her MSNow show) that since this "slush fund" was announced,

[Wiz Imp]

He has been flooded with messages from people saying they were going to kill him because they believe they will get paid from the slush fund for doing that.

[Deuxcents]

1. I'm watching..this is horrific behavior from MAGA and I don't blame him one bit for his attitude

[FHRRK1]

2. Which is EXACTLY the reason for the fund

If we get fair elections and take back control I don’t want to hear one Dem stating we need to move on.

Severe punishment needs to occur.

[PatrickforB]

6. Hear, hear! n/t

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. No shit

"Looking forward not back", and "moving on" is the reason we're in this mess

And Ford's pardoning Nixon set the IOKIYAR example.

[JokeHer]

17. THE most severe

Treason… how about those firing squads ol orange dipshit wants to bring back

[thomski64]

26. He is an acknowledged adulterer..

..stone him to death.

[SergeStorms]

34. I'll cast the first stone.

Not that I'm without sin, but someone has to get the party started!

[Irish_Dem]

3. This is what happens when criminals get paid for their crimes.

[Lovie777]

4. The current administration along with the Republican party.............

are creating a hostile environment for the citizens of the US.

But alas, it will befall solely on the Republican party, shithole and comrades.

[Deuxcents]

5. With no mercy. For any of them

[Jimvanhise]

7. THEY TRIED ON JANUARY 6TH

They tried to kill Michael Fanone on January 6th and almost succeed. When he testified at the trials of those who attacked him, the rioter's families spit on him and called him names, in spite of the video evidence.

[Karasu]

16. The fact that 1/6 wasn't the end of the GOP as a political party is a complete indictment of the US.

[Ocelot II]

8. Effectively a bounty on the heads of Trump opponents.

[Cha]

10. Please be safe, Michael Fanone! ☮️💙🌈🌸🍀

Of course, the Nazis want to kill their enemies who stand for Democracy!

[msongs]

11. one suspects most americans dont care about this very much. just a guess tho

[Katinfl]

12. I have seen him many times on Nicolle but today he acted different

IMO he seemed subdued. He just looked into the camera motionless. Of course he had much to say about the absurdity of the whole thing with this “slush fund” but today he just seemed resigned to the fact that the J6’ers will get a pay out and he is tired of fighting it. IMO and I hope I am wrong.

[Grim Chieftain]

13. I sometimes think this country is so far beyond corrupt

that the only thing that will save it (perhaps) is a civil war.

My god, I cannot believe this is where we are.

[mahina]

14. Which will solve nothing but help our enemies

Putin mainly

So, nonsense. In my opinion.
/family died on both sides, great great walked across states after release from captivity in Indiana


/we died on both sides in Ireland too

My own Father fought in a civil war. It took everything from him, eventually.

Respectfuly, DU is the wrong place to tout for civil war.

[Grim Chieftain]

15. I am NOT touting it

But fearing it. If you read any of my posts, you would know that.

[TBF]

18. Honestly to me it sounded like you were convinced

that violence is the answer. You may wish to reword it if that's not what you intended.

[Grim Chieftain]

20. I have been a fierce advocate of this country for all of my 73 years

I have marched in rallies for decades to uphold and defend the US against violence, war, and the and evisceration of our democracy. My husband was a legislative recruiter for the Democratic party in our state, a mayor who ran on the principles of equality and unity, and the betterment of all people. As a professor I taught my students the value of peaceful resistance to protect our democracy. It has been my life's goal and purpose.

I do not apologize for rightly fearing what the lawless right may do to undermine our democracy.

[calimary]

21. With ya, Grim Chieftain.

Methinks we’re about the same age. Sounds to me as though we may have gone to the same rallies.

And I share the same dread of the lawless among us. Especially those who allowed themselves to be taken in by the donald. None of ‘em seem to have ANY recollection of the many, Many, MANY lies he’s told, throughout his deceitful life and right up to right now.

[Grim Chieftain]

22. Thank you, calimary

That means a lot.

[TBF]

28. That is all great - but it is not what you said.

This is what you said: " I sometimes think this country is so far beyond corrupt that the only thing that will save it (perhaps) is a civil war. "

That is not the same as: "I do not apologize for rightly fearing what the lawless right may do to undermine our democracy."

If what you fear is that the lawless might engage in war, then say it. Don't say that the only thing that will save it is a civil war.

[Felicita]

31. a potential civil war

did not sound to me like you were advocating for one.

[Grim Chieftain]

32. Thank you so much

I certainly did not mean to offend anyone, and I regret if my words were misconstrued.

The last thing I want to do is anger or alienate anyone here on DU

[mahina]

23. Haven't had the pleasure

Perhaps I misunderstood your post. I thought your meaning was plain.

Wishing you well.

[Grim Chieftain]

24. My meaning was plain.

I love this country and this democracy.

[mahina]

25. Okie dokie

I never said you didn't.

Bye now

[Grim Chieftain]

29. We both want this democracy to prevail

I am sorry if we got our wires crossed.

Cheers to you, mahina.

[Dr. T]

19. When the J6'ers get paid, Fanone knows who to sue.

I believe the legal term is deep pockets. The ones with money are the ones you sue in civil court. And it would be easy to win because the respondents (J6'ers) have already been convicted.

[johnnyfins]

27. Except for the fact that we won't know who

Gets paid. Blanche has already spouted the "Privacy Laws" that would come into play.

[barbtries]

30. they could be right.

i'm sure he's a thorn in the mad king's side.

so bad. it's so fucking BAD

[City Lights]

33. OMFG!!!! nt
