The Donald Trump Score Card

Far-right troll charged in Capitol riots avoids house arrest

excerpt:

"The Justice Department has arrested about 465 people in nearly all 50 states - an average of about three defendants arrested every single day, including weekends, since January 6th. Marine Corps officer, Christopher Warnagiris, the first active-duty service member arrested in the insurrection, was indicted Thursday on nine charges including assaulting an officer."

 

More than 465 of Trump's rioters arrested.


150 days after Capitol attack, more than 465 arrested as FBI seeks tips on hundreds more: DOJ

excerpt:

"Rioters breached through barricades and security checkpoints, forcing Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers to evacuate or shelter in place, temporarily disrupting the certification of President Joe Biden’s election win. Five people, including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, died during or after the riot, 140 police officers were injured and the Capitol building suffered approximately $1.5 million in damage.

Of those charged so far, more than 130 have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement trying to protect the Capitol, including more than 40 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon against officers. Nearly everyone who has been arraigned so far has pleaded not guilty, with many of those who illegally entered the building saying they were following Trump’s instructions at the rally to march to the Capitol or didn’t believe they were violating the law because they were following hundreds of others and meeting no resistance from police."

Trump appears to be making an effort to stay quiet about the insurrection at the Capitol during his public appearances. He hasn't jumped on it like a spoils of war talking point during his public speeches at CPAC FL and the GOP event in NC.

The devastating silence of the Trump administration on the Capitol riots - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Why the silence? A few reasons:

1) Because of the absolute chaos of the final days of the Trump administration (which was worsened by a series of resignations in the wake of the riots and President Donald Trump's incitement of them) there are very few people actually in charge. Bill Barr is no longer at the Justice Department. Chad Wolf resigned on Monday as head of the Department of Homeland Security. The chief of the Capitol Police resigned under pressure following the riots -- as did the House and Senate Sergeants-at-Arms. What that series of departures -- forced and otherwise -- has created is a total lack of leadership within the ranks of the administration. No one is taking point on how to inform the public about what happened because no one really knows who is in charge

2) Trump never -- not really -- thought that the protests were a bad thing. As Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse recounted of Trump in an interview last Friday: "As this was unfolding on television, Donald Trump was walking around the White House confused about why other people on his team weren't as excited as he was as you had rioters pushing against Capitol Police trying to get into the building." Even Trump's public pronouncements as he sought to sort-of defuse the situation and get his supporters to leave the Capitol were larded with evidence of how he really felt -- citing that the 2020 election was stolen from him (it wasn't) and telling the rioters "we love you." Given the President's feelings -- and his own personal silence in the wake of the riots -- there's not much momentum to cross him and go public with information about what exactly happened last Wednesday and how to prevent it from happening again.

3) The Trump administration is eight days from being over. People are headed for the exits now more rapidly than ever before, as working in the White House is rapidly becoming a scarlet letter in the country. While you're packing up your stuff and trying to get the hell out of Dodge, the last thing on your mind is talking to the public about one of the greatest law enforcement failures in modern memory."

It wouldn't be easy for Trump to put Pence on the 2024 ticket after trying to kill him at his insurrection for not overturning the 2020 election for him.

In Pence's twisted perception, it's just a little old issue of not quite seeing eye to eye with Trump on his deadly riot that he deems to be a little blemish on what was otherwise a perfect administration.

 

Canon fodder for a humor sketch where Trump's ends up running in 2024 and announces at a rally that he is putting Pence on the ticket.

Trump: "And now, here he is. You'll remember him as the one with the housefly on his silver hair at the 2020 VP debate, the one I attempted to and nearly killed at my riot at the Capitol, the one who was forced to run and hide in the basement with his relatives while my rioters shouted next to a noose to hang him, the man who doesn't see exactly eye to eye with me, the inimitable Mike Pence!"

 

Trump rioter who menaced police officer Goodman in the Senate is seeking release from pretrial detention.

Doug Jensen says he is the victim of clever people.

The person who was clever was Officer Goodman. He suckered Trump's rioters who were menacing him right past the entrance doors to the U.S. Senate chamber (where Pence was at) and up a flight of stairs to the location of more police officers.

 

Credit also goes to Huffington Post political reporter Igor Bobic who stayed near Goodman. His video captured Trump's rioters menacing Goodman. It became evidence that put people like Doug Jensen in jail.

excerpt:

"For 85 tense seconds on Jan. 6, Goodman tried to hold back dozens of rioters, according to the video, twice retreating up a flight of stairs. Police experts say he wasn’t fleeing, but luring the mob away from the Senate chambers, where lawmakers were sheltering and armed officers — including one with a semiautomatic weapon — were securing the doors.

His actions likely preempted what could have been a violent confrontation, Kirk D. Burkhalter, a professor at New York Law School and a former New York City police officer, said in an interview.

“These folks had zip ties,” he said, referencing images of the rioters holding zip-tie handcuffs that have emerged since the attack. “It’s not unreasonable to say that they were ready to take hostages. . . . Officer Goodman really helped to avoid a tremendous tragedy.”

Friends who have talked to Goodman since the riot, including two fellow officers and a former colleague, said he has been ambivalent about the limelight. Generally private and reserved, the D.C. native has started to worry about becoming a potential target of far-right extremist groups that have vowed to return to D.C. this weekend and for next week’s inauguration."

 

First Person: A Reporter's Recollections Of The Capitol Riot

excerpt:

"SEGERS: Seeing the chaos on the Senate floor where all the senators were standing up and milling about, the room was surrounded by Capitol Police officers. I kind of had a very physical reaction, where I could feel my heart pounding. I could feel tears in my eyes. And I thought to myself, you know, not right now. I can't be emotional right now.

SEGERS: The reporters were on the third floor, and we were told to get to the basement. And all of us headed to the stairs because in an emergency you take the stairs. I think it just was ingrained in us. And there is a Capitol police officer at the top of the stairs who told us, No, you have to take the elevator because they're on the stairs.

SEGERS: A bunch of us ended up jamming into a Senator's Only elevator. And then when we were in the basement, there were all these police officers there telling us like, Don't run, but you have to walk very quickly. I was jogging next to Senator Roy Blunt for a while. And I had a coworker tell me, No matter what you do, stay with the senators because they're going to be safe.

SEGERS: When we were in our safe location, there were just a ton of law enforcement officers that kept coming through and they were all wearing these bulletproof vests and carrying these massive guns. Other reporters were just like sitting on the floor for five hours. Meanwhile, overhearing on the walkie-talkies what was happening in the Capitol complex."

 

Once members of Congress were safe in the basement, police officers started inserting objects in the elevator doors to keep them open to prevent Trump's rioters from coming downstairs.

 

This is exactly why the GOP voted for the special investigation/commission of the 6 Jan insurrection, not to happen and to completely go away. They have everything to do with it.
