Surprise J6 public hearing; former US Atty General lays out evidence of Trump's criminal intent




The House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol announced that it will hold a previously unscheduled hearing to provide newly acquired evidence and testimony about the insurrection.

In another January 6 development, former attorney General Eric Holder lays out the overwhelming evidence of Donald Trump's criminal intent and suggests that any defense that relied on a claim that Trump lacked corrupt intent would be "laughed" out of court. - Glenn Kirschner 06/27/2022.

"It'll be wild!" Have been charged, convicted and jailed - while he remains free to hold more "campaign rallies," grift more "campaign contributions" and convince more potential insurrectionists that he actually "won!"

How did we find ourselves here?! I remember getting together with my childhood/summer camp friends the summer before the 2016 election. And we agreed among ourselves that we'd sooner vote for the next person who drove by than TFG! But it was much, much worse than we could have imagined, not to mention that we experienced a global pandemic along with the horror show that was TFG!

GOTV! The (first) New York primary is tomorrow!
