The Donald Trump Score Card

McCarthy was on the phone with Trump in a profanity-laced exchange that tried to convince him to stop his riot.


Rep. Kevin McCarthy Finally Admits Capitol Riot Was ‘Violent Insurrection’

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he agreed that the Capitol riot was a violent insurrection, the clearest answer he’s given after dodging the issue this week.

Asked Wednesday about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) description of the riot as a “violent insurrection,” McCarthy said he agreed.

“No one would disagree with that,” McCarthy told reporters.

Plenty of Republicans disagree with the term “violent insurrection” ― several House members have even suggested that federal agents actually tricked Trump supporters into ransacking the Capitol."

 

Trump is now saying that this report is fake news and he cooperated with the National Archives??????? The guy has a line of bull shit a mile long!

 

In 1930 the nice White people took two Black guys and hung them in front of the courthouse in Marion Indiana ... as the judge and cops watched. Indiana has about 278 Klaverns i.e. chapters of that nice White and Exclusive club.

 

US house to investigate whether Trump broke law in handling of documents

excerpt:

"The House oversight committee on Thursday opened an investigation into potential violations of the Presidential Records Act by Donald Trump, after he retained and destroyed records relevant to the 6 January insurrection.

The panel asked the National Archives to turn over communications between the former president and the agency about missing and destroyed records, as well as a description of materials in boxes of records retrieved from Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago last month.

According to the New York Times, the boxes contained what the National Archives and Records Administration believed was classified information in some documents.

Staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet – which they believed Trump had flushed, according to journalist Maggie Haberman in her forthcoming book Confidence Man."

 

US house to investigate whether Trump broke law in handling of documents

excerpt:

"The media’s “characterisation of my relationship with Nara is fake news. It was exactly the opposite. It was a great honour to work with Nara to help formally preserve the Trump legacy,” said Trump, who is yet to comment on Haberman’s toilet revelations.

Trump arranged their return, the National Archives said, but as part of that process, they also discovered that Trump had torn up some documents, while other records about Trump’s efforts to pressure Mike Pence, the former vice-president, to overturn the election were missing.

The National Archives also found that Trump had taken classified documents to Mar-a-lago, and asked the justice department to examine whether they should open a criminal investigation into the former president. Justice officials then instructed the National Archives to have the documents examined by the inspector general, who in turn is required to alert the DoJ if classified information is found outside authorized areas.

The agency had been seeking to fulfill document requests from a separate House select committee that is investigating the Capitol attack."

 

The investigation of Trump's mishandling of documents now involves the National Archives, the DOJ, the House Oversight Committee, and the January 6 Select Committee.

 

That man broke the law more often than he lied.

 

Archives Found Possible Classified Material in Boxes Returned by Trump

excerpt:

"The National Archives and Records Administration discovered what it believed was classified information in documents Donald J. Trump had taken with him from the White House as he left office, according to a person briefed on the matter.

The discovery, which occurred after Mr. Trump returned 15 boxes of documents to the government last month, prompted the National Archives to reach out to the Justice Department for guidance, the person said. The department told the National Archives to have its inspector general examine the matter, the person said.

It is unclear what the inspector general has done since then, in particular, whether the inspector general has referred the matter to the Justice Department.

An inspector general is required to alert the Justice Department to the discovery of any classified materials that were found outside authorized government channels."

 

Wads of printed paper regularly clogged White House toilet during Trump era, book claims

excerpt:

"White House staffers regularly found ripped-up printed paper clogging a toilet in the presidential residence when former President Trump lived there, according to an upcoming book from New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman.

Axios reports that Haberman's new book, "Confidence Man," notes that White House staffers regularly found printed paper clogging a toilet in the president's residence, leading them to conclude that Trump had flushed pieces of paper down the toilet.

Appearing on CNN's "New Day" on Thursday, Haberman said that she "learned that staff in the White House residence would periodically find the toilet clogged."

"The engineer would have to come and fix it and what the engineer would find would be ... wads of clumped-up printed wet paper," she said."

 

He will retract that by Friday.

 

US house to investigate whether Trump broke law in handling of documents

excerpt:

"The chaotic nature of the Trump administration’s final days may also prove an issue: there was no formal White House staff secretary appointed to monitor and file documents reviewed by Trump after the departure of former staff secretary Derek Lyons on 18 December 2020.

The White House staff secretary’s office is partly responsible for retaining sensitive and presidential documents, but after Lyons’s departure, and with nothing more than a skeleton staff employed, some documents may not have been properly stored, the Trump aide said."

 

Photo emerges of Republican barricading chamber doors during US Capitol attack after he compared rioters to ‘tourists’

 

I'm surprised it wasn't like the Nazis fleeing Berlin throwing and burning documents in the street.

 

Trump added Newhouse and Mace to his revenge list.

excerpt:

"Newhouse joined the Radical Left Democrats to vote for the Impeachment Hoax," Trump said in a statement announcing his endorsement of Culp. Newhouse was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his actions on January 6, 2021.

Culp, like Trump, has regularly pushed the idea of voter fraud in elections. He has refused to concede his 2020 race against Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee, despite losing by more than 500,000 votes. Trump said in his endorsement that Culp "will always defend your personal liberty, our under-siege Second Amendment, Election Integrity and Law Enforcement."

 

Trump is endorsing someone who lost the Washington governor race by 545,000 votes and is still claiming he won.


Trump endorses Loren Culp in challenge to WA Rep. Dan Newhouse, who voted for impeachment – The Seattle Times

excerpt:

"Like Trump, Culp, the ex-police chief of Republic in Ferry County, has sought to undermine trust in the results of the election by lobbing false claims of widespread voter fraud.

He refused to concede the 2020 gubernatorial race after losing to Gov. Jay Inslee by 545,000 votes. Culp also filed a lawsuit over the results but quickly withdrew it after his attorney was threatened with sanctions for making meritless claims in a court of law.

In a livestreamed video posted to Facebook, Culp said he spoke with Trump for about 10 minutes on Wednesday, calling him “the greatest president of my lifetime.”"

 

Trump added Nancy Mace to his revenge list.

excerpt:

"Katie Arrington is running against an absolutely terrible candidate, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, whose remarks and attitude have been devastating for her community, and not at all representative of the Republican Party to which she has been very disloyal," said Trump in a statement announcing the endorsement.

While Mace didn't vote to impeach Trump, she has been critical of him in the past. "We have to take a cold, hard look at ourselves and recognize that this is a real problem for our party," she said shortly after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. "We reap what we sow. We saw and heard the violent rhetoric at the rally and look what ended up happening."

 

Analysis: Two more House Republicans just went on Donald Trump's hit list - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Here's a look at the rest of the members of the group who are facing Republican challengers:

* Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney: Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman.
* Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer: Trump has endorsed John Gibbs.
* Washington Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler: Trump has endorsed Joe Kent.
* South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice: Trump has endorsed Russell Fry.
* Michigan Rep. Fred Upton: Trump has endorsed Steve Carra.

That means the only one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and is not either facing a challenge from a candidate backed by the former President or planning to retire is California Rep. David Valadao. (Valadao is a close ally of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who endorsed his fellow Californian for reelection last fall.)

And it's not just in the endorsement game where Trump is eating his own. On Wednesday night, Trump released a lengthy statement attacking Mitch McConnell, saying the Senate minority leader "does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters. He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history.""

 

Annnnnnd---the words of a dangerous psychopath continue to echo across the land.

 

It's understandable why Trump is now endorsing Culp for a U.S. House seat.

Jay Inslee prepares for third term as Loren Culp loses job as Republic police chief, claims election fraud

excerpt:

"Culp vowed to continue the campaign, and claimed without any details there were “irregularities in tabulating” the votes.

“Corruption, that’s the word of the day,” he said. “Something smells fishy.”

Inslee dismissed the allegations, saying Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who like Culp is a Republican, has found no irregularities. Every vote will be counted, just as the law requires, he said.

He likened Culp’s complaints to those of President Donald Trump, who is questioning vote counting in several close states that could decide that election.

“I think it is grossly irresponsible to sow doubt about the ballots when he has absolutely no evidence of that,” he said. “We need public officials to help the public exercise patience and respect the integrity of the system.”"
