Funny we never heard back from these agents. And now we find out they deleted texts from Jan 5 and 6? 🤔

Yeah, a Twitter rumor that they were "prepared to testify". And the MAGA goons were using that tiny piece of unverified info to discredit Hutchinson's. They're too dumb to realize they were using second-hand information to discredit someone else's alleged second-hand information.

I'm sure the select committee would have gladly had them back to testify.

As it turns out, they're just Trump goons. It explains why Biden had to make changes to the detail when he was sworn in, it explains why Pence didn't want to leave the Capitol, and it explains why everyone thus far has corroborated Hutchinson's testimony.

The reporters who tweeted that nonsense should have known better too. Sure, they wanted a “scoop” but those tweets, which haven’t been backed up by the agents actually showing up, were an example of reporters being used in an attempt to discredit a witness. I haven’t seen these reporters revisit the issue, but perhaps I missed it? If they never follow up or point out that these agents are full of it, then they are true failures in their profession.

Former Trump White House aide who met with January 6 panel attacks witnesses, lawmakers in profane and sexist rant | CNN Politics

A former Trump White House aide who met with the January 6 committee earlier this week went on a profane and sexist rant on a livestream after his testimony, where he railed against the lawmakers and attacked other witnesses, according to audio posted to his Telegram.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

"They're Bolsheviks," Ziegler said in the stream, referring to the far-left communists who led the Soviet Union, "so, they probably do hate the American founders and most White people in general. This is a Bolshevistic anti-White campaign. If you can't see that, your eyes are freaking closed. And so, they see me as a young Christian who they can try to basically scare, right?"

Well, that's one way to look at it, I suppose. Fascinating.

What a fucking idiot.
 
I think what amazes me about all of this, is that after the second impeachment, republicans were like "eh". R's didn't see a need to look into this, and then deciding we should just move on. Since then we've learned about fake electors, lying on official documents concerning electors, STILL as of recently still trying to get Wisconsin to overturn the results as of a week ago, thinking crazy lady Powell was appointed ANY position of authority, probably more I've forgotten, and NOW... the Secret Service is roped in as pointed out above.

This is literally some of the craziest shit in the history of our country.

And the train shows no sign of slowing down, and republicans were like 'eh'? Let's move on?

I just listened to a story on the radio discussing the differences in the US and the UK. It focused on the question of why Conservatives didn’t lose their minds when Boris Johnson lost his position, and actually seem fine with moving on. Meanwhile, American conservatives are still all-in on Trump.

Two major factors were brought up.

1. Right-wing media in America regularly lies, but there are no widely popular media outlets in the UK that do the same thing(s) that Fox does.

2. Gerrymandering - most seats in the UK parliament are competitive. The opposite is true in America. In fact, some seats are so safe for one party that the only way to lose the seat is if a more extreme candidate beats you in the primary.

The UK has its own problems, but it really made me think about how much we could change things if we got rid of gerrymandering and blatantly dishonest right-wing media outlets.

All Republicans have left is outrage porn and sadistic rule. Most of the country is done with their decades long trickle down economics and tax breaks for the rich grift. If we got rid of the rigging that mostly benefits Republicans they’d be toast.

Of course, the other option is to come up with sane conservative economic compromise that benefits most Americans, but that is just a bridge too far. Helping out anybody who isn’t rich is seen as a weakness of Democrats and they can’t have that stink on them.
 
An alleged insurrectionist was at a sentencing hearing after pleading guilty for his actions on Jan 6. But after hearing testimony from those hurt by him, the judge determined the man’s actions were worse than what he pled guilty to. So the plea is toast I guess? He might have to change his plea or face trial.

(paywall removed)

The D.C. police sergeant who suffered injuries from the PVC pipe choked up Thursday as he recounted the bruises from the pipe and the chemical burns from bear spray in his face.
“I normally don’t get emotional, but today is my first time dealing with it,” he told the judge, his voice wavering. “I normally have a tough exterior.”
After he battled rioters for hours, the sergeant said he spent time on a heart monitor because his blood pressure and pulse were high enough to risk a heart attack. The sergeant did not give his name in court, only his initials.
The sergeant said he distinctly remembered that Denney intentionally struck him with a pipe, and that the moment “unfortunately plays over and over in my mind.”
Denney, in a recent court filing, denied intending to injure the officer and said he was attempting to knock out his pepper-spray device.
“The pole was headed for my face and not my crowd-control device he tried to take from me earlier on,” the sergeant said in court Thursday. “It’s clear to me he doesn’t understand his actions that day … and he needs some serious self-reflection.”

Matthew Pottinger was a Trump administration official from day 1. He is starting by bragging about his accomplishments on behalf of the administration. Seems like somebody who would be loyal to Trump.

Ms. Matthews came along late in the game, starting work for Kayleigh McEnany in the summer of 2020.
 
They have 2 separate confirmations of Trump’s heated argument with the driver in the Presidential SUV.

Also confirmed: Secret Service members have retained defense counsel.
 
Trump refused calls from the Pentagon, but called Senators to encourage them to overturn the election, and also called Rudy Giuliani. And he sent out tweets…

He repeatedly refused calls from his staff to do something about the violence.
