FBI Mum on Trump Investigation as More Arrests Made in US Capitol Attack excerpt: "Nearly 500 supporters of former President Donald Trump have now been charged in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and the number of arrests is growing, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Thursday, while rejecting charges by Democratic lawmakers that the FBI failed to see the attack coming. At the same time, Wray declined to say whether the FBI was investigating Trump and his associates for allegedly inciting the rioters to storm the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the November presidential election. Early this year, Trump was impeached for a second time. In this case, he was charged with inciting insurrection for delivering a fiery speech to supporters, urging them to march on the Capitol and “fight like hell” to block Biden’s election. Although the Senate acquitted Trump on February 13, Democrats have long called for the Department of Justice to investigate Trump’s conduct for possible criminal violations. In his first appearance before the House Judiciary Committee since the attack, Wray condemned the January 6 riot as an act of domestic terrorism but refused to term it an “insurrection,” as many Democrats have. Wray made similar comments during a March appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee."
Trump was known for using what were supposed to be coronavirus briefings as a backdrop to promote his buddies such as Mike Lindell. ‘Our president gave us so much hope’: MyPillow CEO goes off script at coronavirus briefing excerpt: "Among those he introduced Monday were the “great leader” of Honeywell, as well as the CEOs of Jockey, Procter & Gamble and United Technologies, all of whom laid out how their companies were fulfilling what Trump described as “their patriotic duty” to fight the virus. But only one of the executives got a particularly glowing introduction from the president. “A friend of mine, Mike Lindell of MyPillow, boy, do you sell those pillows,” Trump said of Lindell, who sat in the front row of chairs set up in the White House Rose Garden. “It’s unbelievable what you do.” When the president beckoned the executives to the lectern to say a few words about their efforts, up first was Lindell — a major Republican donor, the Trump campaign’s chairman for Minnesota and someone who has called Trump the “greatest president” in American history and someone who was “chosen by God.” But his remarks went beyond the polite accolades and brief summary of steps his company is taking to assist other corporations in preparing to weather future pandemics."
If Donald Duck and Lindell were the stars in "The Truman Show" nobody would ever doubt that American politics are a joke.
Pelosi: ‘beyond belief’ that Trump DoJ chiefs didn’t know of secret subpoenas excerpt: "The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said on Sunday it was “beyond belief” that the three top justice department officials of Donald Trump’s administration had been unaware of secret subpoenas seeking private data from the former president’s political opponents. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s first pick as attorney general, his successor, William Barr, and the long-serving deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein have all claimed to have no knowledge of the alleged attempts by their department to harvest information covertly from leading Democrats during the investigation into whether Donald Trump and his campaign utilized links with Russia during the 2016 election, according to CNN. In expressing skepticism of their claims, Pelosi, a California Democrat, said on CNN’s State of the Union that the actions of a “rogue” justice department were worse than the Watergate scandal. “What the Republicans did, what the administration did, the justice department, leadership of the former president, goes even beyond Richard Nixon,” she said."
More cannon fodder for a humor sketch. Sessions, Rosenstein, and Barr standing together. Sessions: Did you know about it? Rosenstein: I didn't know. How about you? Barr: I didn't know. What about you? Sessions: I didn't know. How about you? (camera pans out slightly) Sergeant Schultz: I know nothing! NOTHING!
All's well and good except he's facing 5-10 years in the federal pen NH Man Arrested After He ‘Chugged' Wine at Capitol Riot Says He's Running for Congress A New Hampshire man facing charges for taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is now hoping to head back to Washington as a member of Congress. Jason Riddle said he is still working on the details of his campaign for office. “I guess, ‘Let’s get back to work,’ that’s going to be the slogan I go with,” he told NBC10 Boston on Sunday. Riddle, from Keene, admitted in an interview with NBC10 Boston in the days after the attack, which left five people dead, that he entered the Capitol building and chugged from a bottle of wine he found in a Senate office. He provided NBC10 Boston photos and said he had no regrets about joining the mob that entered the Capitol, but criticized those who committed acts of vandalism and violence.
"Beyond belief" is the fact democrats are still talking to the assholes, instead of demanding a new government. Gee Wally, how much money do you think Pelosi gets paid for acting indignant?
