There were also FBI agents dressed as Trump supporters in the crowd. Ask Wray |

If there weren’t plain clothes cops in the crowd I would have been shocked. It would have been negligent for their not to be. Dude, you can’t be this dumb. |

Meanwhile many on the Hill are saying it was a total intelligence failure by FBI and others and there are whistleblower emails from inside the FBI expressing concern about why credible warnings weeks in advance of J6 were ignored and not acted on. And the why? Most of the FBI is still "Trumpland" |

Dirty hands from the Lois Lerner IRS scandal. Ties to Clinton operator Lanny Breuer.

You would say this about anyone. You will do anything to legitimize Trump and support criminality. It’s shameful. |

1. The J6 Committee has subpoena power but no effective means of d forcing them. A witness has to be held in contempt and the matter referred to the US Attorney in DC for enforcement. These cases are few and far between because they can be strung out for years with appeals. There can be issues of executive privilege arising from separation of powers principles when the witness was an executive branch official. A cingressional committee typically will ask a witness to appear for an interview before issuing a subpoena but there is no sanction for declining an invitation or responding that the witness will not appear for interview for a variety of reasons, including the privilege against self-incrimination and executive privilege. 2. A federal grand jury subpoena for documents or testimony is not something to disregard. A witness can seek to affirmatively quash or limit the scope of the subpoena. If compelled to testify the witness risks being held in contempt by the chief judge and sent to detention until testimony is forthcoming. The court can limit the scope of testimony based on claims of executive privilege, speech-and-debate clause, attorney-client communication privilege, etc. A witness can assert the Fifth Amendment. 3. The Fulton County Special Purpose Grand Jury operates in most ways similar to a federal grand jury with one major exception: it’s duty is one of investigation snd presentment; that is, it does not have the power to issue a true bill of indictment. It generally only issues a report and findings/recommendations. It also has a statutorily limited period to operate, which witnesses like Meadows and Flynn seeking to run out the clock with appeals. |

No formal public announcement. They leaked to the papers, the same way they leaked that they were looking for nuclear material at Mar A Lago. |

I want to see that man behind bars. He is responsible for so many deaths around the world, for imprisoning children, for causing endless stress and anxiety in the American public, not to mention the untold numbers of women who will die without access to abortion because of his SCOTUS picks. If he doesn't go to jail, our system is irretrievably broken. He was caught red-handed with top-secret documents he had no authority to possess. Any other American would be jailed for years for such a crime, yet he's running for POTUS!! Jail him. |

You have no idea who leaked anything. |

That's truly the most idiotic thing ever. We're supposed to believe that because some random geezer named Ray said "gO iNSiDe" the night before, suddenly hundreds of people said to themselves, "um, okay!" and ran out that same night, spent hundreds of dollars on tactical gear, plate carrier vests, encrypted radios, weapons (like where are you even going to find that kind of stuff in the DMV at 11pm at night) and then got plans and designated "breach teams" assembled that morning to attack the Capitol? No. That ain't what happened. AT ALL. There's already tons of evidence out there that J6 was planned for weeks in advance by Oathkeepers and Proud Boys. Those wheels were in motion long before Epps showed up on January 5th. What else do we know about Epps? That he's too old to be an FBI agent. That he was an Oathkeepers member even before Trump got elected. He was a construction worker and a rancher and for many years operated a side gig at his ranch renting his barn out for weddings and events. That he was questioned (NOT by the J6 commission as claimed, but by the FBI) and they released him because he never went inside and never actually did anything illegal. He apparently took someone who got injured in the fracas outside to get medical attention and didn't go back to the Capitol. No big mysteries at all. Pro-Trump Oathkeepers and Proud Boys planned and organized the J6 attack for weeks in advance. And they may have also had conversations with Roger Stone and others in Trump's circle about the plan. That's the reality of it. |
