Pennsylvania Lawmaker Played Key Role in Trump’s Plot to Oust Acting Attorney General

excerpt:

"It is unclear when Mr. Perry, who represents the Harrisburg area, met Mr. Clark, a Philadelphia native, or how well they knew each other before the introduction to Mr. Trump. Former Trump administration officials said that it was only in late December that Mr. Clark told Mr. Rosen about the introduction brokered by Mr. Perry, who was among the scores of people feeding Mr. Trump false hope that he had won the election.

But it is highly unlikely that Mr. Trump would have known Mr. Clark otherwise. Department officials were startled to learn that the president had called Mr. Clark directly on multiple occasions and that the two had met in person without alerting Mr. Rosen, those officials said. Justice Department policy stipulates that the president initially communicates with the attorney general or the deputy attorney general on all matters, and then a lower-level official if authorized.

As the date for Congress to affirm Mr. Biden’s victory neared, Mr. Perry and Mr. Clark discussed a plan to have the Justice Department send a letter to Georgia state lawmakers informing them of an investigation into voter fraud that could invalidate the state’s Electoral College results. Former officials who were briefed on the plan said that the department’s dozens of voter fraud investigations nationwide had not turned up enough instances of fraud to alter the outcome of the election.

Mr. Perry and Mr. Clark also discussed the plan with Mr. Trump, setting off a chain of events that nearly led to the ouster of Mr. Rosen, who had refused to send the letter."

 

Pennsylvania Lawmaker Played Key Role in Trump’s Plot to Oust Acting Attorney General

excerpt:

"An early supporter of the “Stop the Steal” campaign, Mr. Perry was one of 126 House Republicans who joined a legal brief in December supporting an extraordinary lawsuit seeking to overturn Mr. Biden’s victory. And he joined over two dozen of his colleagues who urged Mr. Trump to direct William P. Barr, the attorney general, to “investigate irregularities in the 2020 election.”

He objected on behalf of 79 other House Republicans to certifying Pennsylvania’s electoral results and was among 139 House Republicans who voted to reject Mr. Biden’s electoral victory, even though he later acknowledged Mr. Biden as the president-elect."

excerpt:

"The plan that Mr. Perry devised with Mr. Clark set off a crisis at the Justice Department. When Mr. Clark approached Mr. Rosen with the Georgia letter at the end of December, Mr. Rosen refused to send it, according to four former administration officials. On Jan. 3, Mr. Clark notified Mr. Rosen that he would be taking his job at Mr. Trump’s behest.

As Mr. Rosen prepared to meet Mr. Trump later that day and fight for his job, his top deputies, including the acting deputy attorney general, Richard P. Donoghue, and his outgoing chief of staff, Patrick Hovakimian, convened the department’s senior leaders on a conference call, according to five former officials with knowledge of the call.

They told the department leaders that Mr. Rosen’s job was in jeopardy because of Mr. Clark’s machinations and said they would resign if Mr. Rosen was removed. They ended the call by asking their colleagues to privately consider what they would do if that happened. Over the next 15 minutes, all of them emailed or texted Mr. Hovakimian, saying that they would quit."

excerpt:

"In it, he explained that Mr. Rosen had resisted Mr. Trump’s repeated entreaties to use the department’s law enforcement powers for improper ends and that the president had removed him, according to a person who reviewed the email. He wrote that he and Mr. Donoghue were resigning immediately and encouraged his colleagues to think hard about what they would do and to always act in the interests of the United States.

When Mr. Hovakimian received word that Mr. Rosen had been allowed to stay, he drafted a new email that he sent to the anxiously awaiting officials: Mr. Rosen and the cause of justice had won."

 

She shouldn't have been there, but I wish they had used bear spray on her. IMO, Trump is responsible for her death.

 

Pepper spray didn't work on Trump's rioters. Some of the rioters are saying that it was an act of provocation by police that caused them to riot more. The rest of the mob would have followed Babbitt through the window they had smashed.

Plastic bullets didn't work. One of Trump's rioters who made it to the Senate floor had a yallow plastic bullet lodged in his cheek.

A real bullet fired into Babbitt did cause the rioters at the Speaker's Lobby doors to finally go quiet, long enough for the police to escort remaining members of Congress and staff out of the House chamber whose doors are near where Babbitt was shot.

 

The mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt should be meeting with prosecutors to have Trump charged with inciting an insurrection and precipitating her death.

They could also file a civil suit against Trump instead of the police.

 

Of course Trump is running in 2024

He spends each hour of everyday just seething over his loss to Biden

 

Rep Gosar is both a hypocrite and idiot

If someone was breaking into his home in Arizona do you think he’d hesitate for a second to grab his gun and blow the guy away?

 

Oh, My God, you can’t script this stuff

The source of Mike Lindell’s data he’s been touting for months was Dennis Montgomery (The Reno Casino con man) who conned the pentagon out of millions of dollars by
claiming he had the ability to decode secret Al-Qaida messages embedded in Al Jazeera broadcasts

 

He'll run unless he's convicted of a felony and becomes ineligible. And he'll lose worse than last time and claim that election was also rigged. And it's scary to think what his supporters might do then.

 

I think Goldman is right on here. We can't just dilly dally around after what Trump has done. He and his team organized, paid for, and provided transportation for the riot. Several speakers called for violence before the march on the capitol. Trump himslef got up there and told the crowd they can't take back our country with weakness. Trump made public statements on twitter about it turning wild. I'd say there is plenty of legal ground for criminal charges.

 

Of course he'll run, and why would a silly felony stop him? Rules are for the little people. Best we could hope for is for him to keep eating and let nature continue its due course with his fat ass, or better yet, a freak but targeted lightning strike on the first tee - hopefully on the back swing.

 

If he's convicted of a felony then he can't officially run. He could only get write-in votes, and good luck with that.

 

Trump could make a big difference in the covid vaccination rate but won't.

Former Trump appointee Federico Klein faces new charges in connection with Capitol riot

excerpt:

"Frederico Klein, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump to work in the State Department, is facing new charges that he "forcibly" assaulted a police officer during the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Klein was already accused of being in the "first wave" of the pro-Trump mob that attacked the Capitol in an effort to overturn President Joe Biden's election victory. Prosecutors previously said that Klein ignored orders from officers protecting the Capitol and used a shield to block law enforcement from securing the entrance to the Capitol. But a newly posted indictment expanded the charges against the former midlevel aide in the State Department.

The newly posted indictment, which was first reported by Scott MacFarlane of NBC affiliate WRC-TV in Washington, alleged that Klein used "a deadly or dangerous weapon, that is, a shield, did forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with" an officer of the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department."

 

Today is Friday the 13th and Trump hasn't been reinstated as president.

 

Three days of symposium by Lindell and nothing new, other than saying he was hacked and attacked (at his hotel).
