‘I’ve Had It With This Guy’: G.O.P. Leaders Privately Blasted Trump After Jan. 6

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene lawyer claims Trump ‘executive privilege’ to block question

excerpt:

"The attorney defending Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene against a lawsuit seeking to disqualify her from appearing on the 2022 midterm ballot for supporting the 6 January insurrection attempted to block her from answering a question about whether she discussed the invocation of martial law with former president Donald Trump by invoking “executive privilege”.

Ms Greene, a first-term Republican, was undergoing questioning by Andrew Cell, an attorney representing a group of Georgia voters who say she should be prohibited from serving in Congress by a clause in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution which says anyone who has “engaged in insurrection” after swearing an oath to defend the constitution cannot be a senator or representative, when she was asked if she ever discussed her “advocacy for the idea that there should be martial law declared in the United States” during meetings with Mr Trump."

 

What executive privilege….? (Scratches head….)

 

Lindell is rehashing the Antrim County MI clerical error that was settled shortly after the 2020 election.

 

Two of Bannon's associates in the 'build the wall' scam plead guilty.

Trump pardoned Bannon in the final hours of his administration.


Trump pardoned Steve Bannon as one of his last acts in office. 2 other associates in Bannon's criminal case just admitted to fraud.

excerpt:

"Two of the defendants in the "Build The Wall" fraud cases that involved Steve Bannon entered guilty pleas in federal court on Thursday.

Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, making false statements on a tax return, and wire fraud in connection with filing a tax return.

Bannon — Trump's longtime advisor — faced charges as well in the case; Trump pardoned Bannon in the final hours of his presidency in 2020."

 

Trump rioter, Ponder, pleads guilty.


D.C. Resident Who Shattered Officer's Riot Shield With a Pole During Jan. 6 Brawl Pleads Guilty

excerpt:

"A resident of Washington, D.C., who was seen swinging a pole and hitting police at the Capitol on Jan. 6 has pleaded guilty to felony assault.

Mark Ponder, 56, admitted Friday to striking three police officers with a pole during the melee outside the Capitol building on Jan. 6, hitting one of them so hard that the impact shattered the officer’s riot shield.

At around 2:31 p.m., as the riotous crowd of Donald Trump supporters faced off against police, Ponder “ran out from the crowd and swung a long, thin pole at a U.S. Capitol Police officer,” according to a Department of Justice press release.

“The officer protected himself by raising his riot shield above his head,” the DOJ statement continued. “Ponder’s pole struck the riot shield and broke in two, with part of the pole flying off to the side. Ponder then retreated into the crowd.”

Ponder emerged seconds later, having “re-armed himself with a new, thicker pole that was colored with red, white, and blue stripes,” the press release said. At around 2:32 p.m., Ponder ran toward a second Capitol Police officer and struck again, but that officer was also able to protect himself with his riot shield.

Ponder wasn’t finished. At around 2:48 p.m., he joined a crowd of rioters facing off against a line of Metropolitan Police officers on the Upper West Terrace."

 

While all of those rioters were beating up the police, Finchem of AZ, a current member of the AZ House who is running for secretary of state with Trump's endorsement, says he did nothing wrong when he advanced toward the Capitol but let others beat up police to move the police lines toward the Capitol, the physical police lines he said he didn't breach.

 

Three weeks after Trump's riot at the Capitol, McCarthy was back with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.


Trump Shrugs Off Kevin McCarthy Call: 'The Support Was Very Strong'

excerpt:

"McCarthy posed on Jan. 28, 2021, with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in a photo that was widely publicized and viewed as a sign of peace between the two men.

He added: “I think it’s all a big compliment, frankly” — noting that McCarthy and other Republicans who initially criticized him (including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell) changed their minds.

“They realized they were wrong and supported me,” he added."

More like: 'They realized they were wrong when they went back to supporting me but didn't want to admit it'.

 

Evidence of that is McCarthy lying that he didn't want Trump to resign after the Capitol riot.

McCarthy was caught in a lie, not realizing his words had been recorded and that he really did want Trump to resign.

 

Not surprised by McCarthy’s lies. His grandmother even said he was a liar.

 

Caught in lie, McCarthy goes on GOP damage control tour

excerpt:

"Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s denial of disparaging comments he made about President Donald Trump after the Capitol attack Jan. 6, 2021, exposed a widely known but seldom seen phenomenon in Washington: the hypocrisy of Republicans who have privately scorned Trump while publicly defending him.

McCarthy, R-Calif., who is campaigning to be speaker of the House if his party wins the majority in November, had dismissed as “totally false and wrong” a report that he had told fellow GOP leaders he would urge Trump to resign from office after the riot. But an audio recording of the conversation revealed McCarthy’s denial to be a lie.

For McCarthy, the immediate political problem was not being caught in a lie. In the Republican Party, which has coalesced around Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him, falsehoods have become routine and even accepted."
