White supremacy is top security threat, Garland says

excerpt:

“The horror of domestic violent extremism is still with us,” Garland said in his opening remarks, discussing his work on the Oklahoma City bombing and the Unabomber case. He noted that encrypted internet messaging and the increased availability and sophistication of “lethal weaponry” make the threat of domestic terror greater than it has ever been.

Some of the Trump administration’s own top advisers came to the same conclusions. Last fall, the FBI warned about extremists planning violent actions to coincide with November’s presidential election. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security tried to get Trump to pay attention to white nationalist groups, some of which expressed open affinity for him and his political movement.

 

Trump did pay attention to them. He pandered to them and cultivated them. It culminated in a violent insurrection at the Capitol.

 

Nassif of Florida arrested in connection with riot at Capitol



'I was there:' Facebook photos from Capitol riot lead to Florida's man's arrest

excerpt:

"John Maron Nassif of Chuluota was charged Monday with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, as well as entering a restricted building without lawful authority.

According to his arrest affidavit, a witness contacted the FBI three days after the January 6 riot to report that Nassif had posted pictures and videos from inside and outside the Capitol during the riot, commenting on one of them, "You know I was there right?"

"Be careful what you post," a friend replied.

Screenshots taken by the FBI also show Nassif talking about deleting his Twitter account in favor of an encrypted communication method."

 

Boastful rioters implicate themselves.


A 55-year-old Capitol riot suspect was arrested after feds saw a Facebook post where he said, 'I was there'

excerpt:

"Suspects have been identified largely by their social-media posts, as many posed for photos that led the FBI to them. One woman even identified herself by name in an interview with a reporter posted to Twitter. The woman, who referred to herself as Elizabeth, said she's from Knoxville, Tennessee. Her face is fully visible in the tweet.

Shortly after federal officials announced they'd investigate the riot and its cause, people were said to be scrambling to delete incriminating photos and social-media posts."

 

What a phony.
Kevin McCarthy says no one is ‘questioning the legitimacy’ of the 2020 election. That’s not true.

 

Press: Memo to McCarthy: 'Cut the crap'

excerpt:

"Exhibit One. The day after you said “cut this crap out,” Florida’s ego-driven, back-bencher Matt Gaetz flew to Wyoming to campaign against Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump: a classic case of one House Republican publicly attacking another one.

But where were you, Mr. McCarthy? Crickets! You said not one word, neither to defend Congresswoman Cheney, a member of your leadership team, nor, which is worse, to criticize Congressman Gaetz for his open defiance of your plea to stop calling out fellow Republicans by name because doing so could put their lives in danger.

Exhibit Two. That very same day, Mr. Leader, you met with former President Trump at Mar-A-Lago. This is the same man who, just two weeks earlier, you said “bears responsibility for the attack on Congress by mob rioters” that forced you and your members to flee for your lives.

Surely you must know, Mr. Leader, that by sucking up to Donald Trump you’re just helping him perpetuate his big lie that the election was stolen from him. “Cutting this crap out” must start with admitting that Joe Biden didn’t “steal” the election, he won it fair and square. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has told his members to accept the results of the election and move on. Why won’t you?

Exhibit Three. A certain new congresswoman from Georgia. Mr. Leader, there’s one opportunity to show the world that you’re really serious about cutting out the crap: Punish Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She’s given you multiple reasons for doing so.

Before her election, Greene had openly joined the ranks of QAnon conspiracists. On Twitter, she “liked” a comment that “a bullet to the head” would be the quickest way to dispose of Pelosi. She also “liked” a comment that FBI agents who were investigating President Trump should be “hung for treason,” and expressed support on Facebook for a plan to hang former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton."

 

Well in that case Kevin, if anyone does question its legitimacy, tell them to knock it off!!

 

This dog and pony show is almost too much......lol...

Attorney says Capitol rioter accused of assaulting police with skateboard is 'gentle, kind' person

Grady Douglas Owens, 21, of Florida, is asking to be released from jail while he awaits trial.

His attorney also said Owens would not be a danger to the community because he has a strong support system back home to keep him on the straight and narrow.

However, Judge Howell pointed out that at least some members of that support system accompanied him to D.C. on January 6, including his father, Jason Owens,
who is facing a felony charge for allegedly assaulting police.

Owens’ grandmother and grandfather also allegedly came to D.C. on January 6, although neither are currently charged in the case.

 

Miller: Trump wanted troops to protect his supporters on Jan. 6

Trump wanted troops to protect his supporters at Jan. 6 rally

excerpt:

"Former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller told a House of Representatives panel that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 3, three days before the now-former president's fiery speech that preceded the violence and led to his second impeachment.

According to Miller's testimony, Trump asked during that meeting whether the District of Columbia's mayor had requested National Guard troops for Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify Joe Biden's presidential election victory.

Trump told Miller to "fill" the request, the former defense secretary testified. Miller said Trump told him: "Do whatever is necessary to protect demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights."

Miller made the remarks during a contentious hearing held by the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating security failures in the days leading to and during the riot."

 

Ashli Babbitt's significant others refer to her as 'the little angel'.

 

RIOT? WHAT RIOT?
GOP lawmaker claims 'there was no insurrection' and Capitol riot looked like a 'normal tourist visit' (yahoo.com)

And he's not the only Republican downplaying it either! After all, how could Trump have incited a riot if there wasn't one?

 

The voice of the little angel.

Yes, nothing will stop you except a Glock 22 which is standard issue for all Capitol Police Officers

 

Some other Republican named Clyde was saying on TV that the rioters were just a normal visiting tour at the Capitol !!!!!!!

 

McGahn agrees to testify.

The Trump administration fought fiercely to keep him quiet.



Years Later, Former White House Counsel McGahn Agrees To Testify

excerpt:

"Former Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn will testify before the House Judiciary committee about his role in former special prosecutor Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, the panel announced Wednesday.

McGahn will speak only to committee members in private, under an agreement negotiated by his attorneys, the committee, and the Justice Department. The interview will be conducted "as soon as possible" and a transcript released publicly shortly thereafter, according to the court filing.

McGahn served as the campaign attorney for former President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential run and later as his White House counsel until 2018.

The agreement settles a nearly two-year long court battle over McGahn's refusal to testify before the Judiciary Committee. It first subpoenaed McGahn in 2019 after Mueller's report indicated he would be knowledgeable of multiple allegations of obstruction committed by Trump. His administration prevented key White House advisers from testifying in the committee's review of the Mueller investigation."

 

At Rancorous Hearing On Jan. 6 Insurrection, Partisan Divide Takes Center Stage

excerpt:

"Under questioning, Miller and Rosen also said that they didn't speak to Trump on Jan. 6 and didn't need to because they had the authority needed to make calls for their respective agencies.

But Maloney wasn't buying that assertion.

"I think that the lack of direct communication from President Trump speaks volumes," she said, later adding, "The president was nowhere to be found, leaving it to others to scramble to respond."

Domestic extremism

Meanwhile, in a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., criticized Trump for helping foment domestic extremism, citing his 2017 comments after a demonstration of far-right activists in Charlottesville, Va., that led to a woman's death as well as his words on Jan. 6 before a group of his supporters who stormed the Capitol.

"You can't strike a match near gas and then act surprised when it catches fire," Leahy said."

 

The GOP no longer exists. They sold their fucking asses down the river long ago, and all the hollow fucking words they can spout will no longer convince anyone of anything. You cannot claim to be a political party, when at least half your fucking members demand a dictatorship, and reject any attempts by their own politicians to do anything other than attack their own government.

 

The GOP should rename itself FUBAR.

 

Or POT (Party Of Trump)!

Unfortunately, McCarthy has a safe seat. He has the backing of farmers(big Ag), and ranchers. Additionally, Kern county(Bakersfield) is very conservative.
