We previously discussed how the J6 Committee and many in the media played up the “bombshell” testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson despite glaring contradictions that were hidden from the public. The J6 Committee denied reports of those contradictions and then delayed the release of directly conflicting testimony as the press played up who Trump allegedly tried to seize control of the Presidential limo to go to Capitol Hill. In his deposition before Congress, former special counsel Jack Smith indicated that Hutchinson’s testimony as unreliable, unsupported, and unusable in any trial. Smith appears to have finally presented a conclusive indictment . . . of the J6 Committee.
While Smith maintained that he had strong evidence against Trump overall, he was far less enthusiastic about the Hutchinson claims. Smith said that the much-reported account was legal chum as based on a “second or even thirdhand witness” and directly contradicted by those who had firsthand knowledge. He added:
“If I were a defense attorney and Ms. Hutchinson were a witness, the first thing I would do was seek to preclude some of her testimony because it was hearsay, and I don’t have the full range of her testimony in front of me right now, but I do remember that that was a decent part of it.”
The former Mark Meadows aide was made the star of the J6 hearings despite Democrats knowing that she was directly contradicted in her claims. Smith said that they found no support for the claims:
“We interviewed, I think, the people she talked to, and we also interviewed, if my recollection is correct, officers who were there, including the officer who was in the car. And that officer, if my recollection is correct, and I want to make sure I’m right about this, said that President Trump was very angry and wanted to go to the Capitol, but the version of events that he explained was not the same as what Cassidy Hutchinson said she heard from somebody secondhand…. a number of the things that she gave evidence on were secondhand hearsay, were things that she had heard from other people and, as a result, that testimony may or may not be admissible, and it certainly wouldn’t be as powerful as firsthand testimony.”
Like so many other debunked viral stories, the media seemed to just shrug and move on after the testimony. After playing up the account in wall-to-wall coverage and cover pages, the press has again moved on with little self-awareness or circumspection.
The account further undermines the work of the J6 Committee which spent millions in high-scripted public hearings, including the hiring of television producers to perfect the made-for-television moments. Not only were opposing witnesses left out of the hearings, but even cooperative witnesses were tightly scripted and records (including statements from Trump) were misleadingly edited to maintain the narrative.
As figures like Rep. Vice Chair Liz Cheney were lionized in primetime by the media as champions of the truth, she and other members were fully aware that they were withholding contradictory evidence and presenting highly manipulated accounts. Note, this was not the usual “fact too good to check.” They did check and found contradictions . . . and then presented the narrative anyway in a type of show trial.
If the J6 committee was structured to allow a bipartisan and balanced inquiry, these conflicts and contradictions could have been identified and addressed. Instead, the narrative rather than the facts drove the proceedings.
“Which office do I go to get my reputation back?” – William Donovan
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously vacated the corruption convictions of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell in 2016 led by Smith
Michael Flynn who threw himself on a sword to protect his son who was to be stripped of honor, wealth, and fiscal ability to fight the charges plead guilty to perjury
All punishments dropped in the Trump Conviction cases in order to avoid appeals which almost certainly will exonerate the sitting POTUS (led by Merrick Garland, Comey, Brennan, . . . Thibault)
Welcome to America – it doesn’t matter if those who were law-fared are cleared – they were destroyed and it will not be remedied.
Jack Smith says Trump has no First Amendment right to say, “I believe there was fraud in the 2020 election.” Wait, what?
https://x.com/Breaking911/status/2006513502983434727
315,000 votes in Georgia certified that did not qualify for certification. Biden won by 15,000 votes. It was across the nation, 2,000 mules showed what they were up to, Deep State interference with the laptop, with the Russia collusion hoax…
It was stolen, it’s all coming out. America wants accountability, the evidence is there, bring it out and arrest and prosecute whomever it exposes.
Anonymous,
If memory serves me correctly, Biden actually said, “We have the most comprehensive voter-fraud organization in American history.” Notice he didn’t use qualifying words, like policing, prevention, mitigation, etc?
Was that a Freudian slip, or was he telegraphing his real intentions in plain sight, figuring no one would either notice or care?
According to Wikipedia, Biden had something just North of 81 million votes. Trump had just NOrth of 74 million, and I think every contender below them was somewhere in the 60+ million vote category, or lower.
I, for one, think the 2020 election, most likely, was stolen. That said, it needs to be proven so, and should that ever happen, what’s the remedy?
I watched the 2000 Mules documentary. The findings seem plausible, the methodology appears sound. Assuming the findings are legit, will there ever be accountability? Would like to think so, but I highly doubt it. Truth is, I’ve got a far better chance of winning a Powerball jackpot, or having my ashes shot into space, like James Duhan did, than ever seeing actual accountability.
Ron, thee are Multiple independent claims and different standards for those claims.
The first – was the 2020 election conducted lawfully – not necescarily perfectly, but with atleast the normal attempts to follow the law.
The answer is an unequivolcal NO.
As lawless actions go the certification of 315,000 ballots in GA without chain of custody is a small claim of lawlessness with potentially huge consequences. There are similar but either larger or more lawless claims in other states.
There are 3 things that could have been done with the 315,000 lawlessly certified ballots in Fulton county.
First they could have done a recount. Zero the machines and rerun all these ballots through the machines and produce a result that election officials can certify.
The fact this was not done puts a lie to EVERYONE who claimed there were actual recounts in GA and other states.
There were only 3 actual recounts in any counties in the country – none in GA. The largest was the Maricopa recount which countra the left found almost 50% of all ballots violated state Election laws, and more specifically that there were almost 50,000 ballots for only 13.500 people – That was clear fraud rather than lawlessness or error.
That does not tell us if the election result was correct or not, and it does not tell us whether there was unusual fraud.
But it does tell us that we can not and should not trust the 2020 election and we must do better.
The next thing that GA could have done was a manual recount – that would go beyond establishing that the ballots were counted correctly, it would also allow examiniation fo the ballots to determine if there was evidence to support many of the claims of fraud – groups of identical ballots, ballots scanned over and over, unusually large numbers of Ballots with a vote for Biden but no downballot candidates.
Missing flods on ballots that were mailed in. Etc. All of this could have been investigated by a hand recount.
The last thing Fulton county could have done is gone to court. The Fulton Election borad can not lawfully count ballots that have not chain of custody. But a Court can order them to count those ballots – or NOT count those ballots after hearing evidence from all sides.
Fulton county did NONE of the lawful things it could have done and just counted ballots that violated state election laws.
The next question is was there unusual Fraud ? The fact that the election was conducted unlawfully means that the guard rails to prevent fraud were removed. That dramatically increases the likelihood of Fraud but it is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Fraud.
The Maricopa Recount – contra the left did NOT prove there was not Fraud. Nor did it prove that there were not all kinds of problems with the voting machines. But it did prove that those voting machines counted the ballots to a high degree of accuracy – in Maracopa county atleast the claim that the voting machines were rigged was proven false. They claim that they were insecure was proven true. The claim that there was Fraud was proven true – but the scale of that fraud was not determinable from the recount.
The claim that the election was not conducted following the election laws was also proven.
The next question is whether what fraud there was, was organized. There is always some fraud in elections. There are always people who can not vote who vote. One of the reasons that we have all these election laws the left does not like, is because while it is quite hard to catch individual fraud or small scale fraud, our election laws exist to make it highly likely that large scale fraud is detected.
The fact that we can detect large scale fraud if we follow the law means it is highly unlikely to occur – because if it is detected those conducting it will be caught and punished and the reputations of those tied to the fraud will be forever tarnished.
No reputable candidate engages in fraud unless they are near certain they will not be caught.
No politicl party engages in fraud unless they are near certain they will not be caught.
In 2020 the decision to ignore election laws occured sufficiently long before the election that those wishing to engage in fraud KNEW they would not be caught.
Few people understand how many ways mailin voting destroys fraud protection in elections.
Mailin voting allows forms of fraud that have NOTHING to do with mailin voting – except the knowledge that large numbers of ballots are outside the control of election officials. That allows Election officials to commit forms of fraud that they would be caught at before.
If ballots are injected into an election by election officials – That can be detected and we will KNOW it was election officials in a normal election. In a mailin election – we MIGHT be able to dtect the injection but we can not tell where it occured and therefore who was responsible. This is also true of the 315K ballots in the Fulton county election. Without election officials signing off on the beginng and end AND that they supervised the process from begining to end, we can not know whether there are actually ballots to back up the count,
Whether those ballots may have been injected – there are myriads of errors and fraud that become possible when we do not have chain of custody.
“Following a recount requested by Trump following the 2020 election, Fulton County recertified the results with slight adjustments that did not alter the outcome: “137,247 (26.20%) for Donald J. Trump (a net gain of 7 votes), 380,212 (72.59%) votes for Joseph Biden (a net loss of 932 votes), and 6,320 (1.21%) votes for Jo Jorgensen (a net gain of 45 votes).””
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/georgia-election-ballot-errors/
https://www.scribd.com/document/874573732/SEB2023-025-Report-of-Investigation-Combined
They were recounted. Then they were properly certified.
The actual ballots had been retained for the recount.
Isn’t it time for lunch in Moscow?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
As if this has stopped?? Tuesday, Nov. 4, Chester County (PA) Voter Services learned that poll books at their precincts did not include the names of voters registered as independent or with third parties. The process to create a provisional ballot took close to an hour and required them to dox themselves including a personal phone number, then have two election officials sign the provisional ballot (which almost all were not signed despite asking so (“we’ll sign it after you leave). So most just bailed.
The “investigation” was not released (or even done) until AFTER the results had been submitted and accepted – so basically, those “provisional” votes didn’t count.
Welcome to America – it has not ended.

Prof. Turley, Thank You, Sir, for another Brilliant Post Mortem on the J6 fiasco, i.e., ‘..the work of the J6 Committee which spent millions in in high-scripted public hearings..’ It showed us that real Fascist tactics could still be used to-day to build political theatre for warfare, the classic Fascist ‘Kangaroo Court,’ and even outdo the original stagecraft of Josef Goebbels in the hands of ‘swampers’ Nancy, Liz, Bennie and Jamie (The Big Auto-Pen Pardon Benefactors), et al.. Liz gave it that extra flaire, being all too eager to keep grinding Dick’s ax against Donald…..
Professor Turley’s post focuses on the 7th take away of the linked article. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/31/takeaways-jack-smith-congressional-testimony-00708747
I feel like I’m four-years-old again, forced to sit with my little brother while my big sister and her friend served us tea and cakes that were as make believe as everything now being served by Washington and the media. The only difference I see is that the humiliation used to be free of charge.
Just:
DRAIN THE SWAMP
And OJ Simpson is still looking for the killer of his wife.
Jack Smith’s testimony that Trump fostered a climate of distrust that justified indictment is ludicrous and demonstrates what a partisan ideologue he was and in no way a disinterested prosecutor seeking justice.
The MSM is rigor mortis. Independent journalism like Twitter /X is in ascent.
Catherine Herridge Independent Journalism Will Dominate 2026
https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/2006788611274850641
Well said, Sir –
It may be independent, except for the backing of billionaires, like Charlie Kirk got, but it’s not journalism.
I continue to be curious as to outcome of pending complaints against Liz Cheney and Alyssa Farah Griffin regarding their private conversations with Hutchinson while she was still represented by counsel. (Griffin is not an attorney.)
As to Cheney violating DC Bar Rules (Rule 4 et seq., regarding communications with persons represented by counsel), reviewing the communications she had, -using Griffin as a conduit between her and Hutchinson prior to Hutchinson firing Passantino (even to the point of name-recommending subsequent counsel), -I’m not sure that the complaining allegations would be successful as she was clearly trying to circumvent/navigate around Rule 4. https://media.aflegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/25155944/DC-Bar-Complaint.pdf
However, Rule 8 (a) to me seems one worth investigating, to wit,
“It is professional misconduct to:
(a) Violate or attempt to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assist or induce another to do so, or do so through the acts of another;”
“or to do so through the acts of another” rings a little true for me.
Any thoughts by others?
Given this reliance on Jack Smith’s veracity, when Jack Smith says that Trump was the instigator of the attack on the Capitol building will Fox News and Jonathan Turley take that to heart and call for Trump’s impeachment?
As to the pipe bomber, Trump effectively pardoned him under an ill considered blanket pardon of everyone in that location on that day.
Whatever the committee made of Hutchinson’s testimony, that testimony appears to be another Trump administration disinformation product. This tracks with the entirety of how Trump operates the administration.
“Given this reliance on Jack Smith’s veracity, ”
Turley is not relying on Smith’s veracity.
Frankly All Smith did was testify to facts that we all already KNOW – that the J6 Hutchinson testimony – which frankly was spectacle but of no real consequence even if True.
Trump was free to want go to the Capital as he promissed he would, and the SS was obligated to prevent that.
If there was an altercation – that would be evidence of nothing.
What is relevant is that the J6 Comittee made a huge deal out of testimony that was 2nd and third party hearsay and that ultimatgely meant nothing.
Smith recent testimony to congress did NOT have the element of spectacle that the nonsense from the J6 committee did,
But it was similarly bad.
Smith made clear that his entire case was based on his efforts to mind read, and his conclusion that legal acts by others were somehow crimes.
If you were looking for proof of misconduct by Trump – Smith was a complete failure.
The issue is not Smith’s Veracity, it is his efforts at mind reading and his idiotic misreading not merely of the law, but of the fundimentals of what constitutes a crime.
Just because you do not like the views words and acts of others does not make them a crime.
“when Jack Smith says that Trump was the instigator of the attack on the Capitol building”
That is an opinion based on tarrot cards ouija boards and would not constitute a crime even if proven true.
Smith, DOJ and the house investigated the crap out of J6 – while they missed or hid the REAL evidence – such as that the Violence started AFTER the CP fired tear gas into a peaceful crowd that was following the directions of the CP, more importantly – while Everyone investigating found what anyone with breath to fog a mirror knew at the start – that the J6 protests were orgainized and intentional DUH – the entire country knew there would be protests on J6 atleast a month in advance.
There is absolutely nothing legal about planning a first amendmnt compliant protest at the pre-eminent public forumn for free speech int he world.
What NO ONE found was ACTUAL evidence of planned Violence.
In fact the J6 Protestors were woefully UNPREPARED for violence.
250,000 people – and a handful of guns were found miles away from the capital.
No frozen water bottles. Nothing to indicate that there was planned violence on J6.
Worse still we have subsequently learned that there were hundreds of FBI agents in the crowd and even more FBI CHS’s and other sources.
The scale of the antifa presence is not known – but it is known for certaint hat antifa infiltrated the crowd intending to cause violence.
The most prominently featured Alishi Babbet videos was made by a member of Antifa.
And we KNOW from video that DOJ fought to prevent release that with extremely few rare exceptions protestors marched peacefully through the capital. That they followed the directions of the CP that they entered through opened doors.
The narative of the left regarding J6 has COLLAPSED.
While Smith testified that Trump was slow to respond – smith was NOT an actual witness, and the actual witnesses have under oath documented that Trump wanted the NG at the capital and ordered them to be available to go to the capital days before.
That Trump did not Trust Pelosi nd the CP not to start something and wantedd the NG specifically to prevent exactly what happened
The CP initiating violence against peaceful protestors and then using deadly force without justification.
Just as Smith qualified Hutchinson’s testimony as hearsay, Smith’s own testimony was 3rd and 4th hand hearsay – and contradicted by under oath testimony of those present.
“will Fox News and Jonathan Turley take that to heart and call for Trump’s impeachment?”
Why – nothing Trump did on J6 was a crime.
“As to the pipe bomber, Trump effectively pardoned him under an ill considered blanket pardon of everyone in that location on that day.”
False
Here is the text of the pardon.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/granting-pardons-and-commutation-of-sentences-for-certain-offenses-relating-to-the-events-at-or-near-the-united-states-capitol-on-january-6-2021/
The pardon is very specific. First it only covers actions at or near the capitol on J6 and specific to the protests of the election.
The pipe bombers actions were on J5 and not at the capital.
It covers 3 and only three groups of people.
The first is a list of about a dozen NAMED individuals.
the 2nd is all people who were convicted of crimes specific to the J6 protests.
The 3rd is those currently indicted and being prosecuted for J6 related offenses.
The J6 pipe bomber was only indicted long after the pardon.
Only a left wing nut incap[able of reading would beleive the J6 pardon covers crimes NOT on J6, not related to tthe J6 protests, not at the capital, and not indicted or convicted prior to the pardon.
The pipe bomber is excluded 7 ways to sunday from the J6 pardon.
Only left wing nuts incapable of reading make ignorant claims like this.
Learn to read.
“Whatever the committee made of Hutchinson’s testimony, that testimony appears to be another Trump administration disinformation product. This tracks with the entirety of how Trump operates the administration.”
What are you saying ? That Trump sent Hutchinson to testify falsely to the J6 committee ?
The only J6 related “disinformation” is that produce by the left the media and the J6 committee.
It is 5 years later – we have massive amounts of video. We have lots of direct testimony before multiple inquiries,
The house the senate in multiple proceeding, the military in their own investigations.
Whether those of you on the left like it or not we now KNOW the vast majority fo what occurred on J6.
We KNOW that Trump did everything possible tto assure that the NG was at the capital days BEFORE J6.
That Pelosi and to a lessor extent Schumer resisted from the start.,
WE KNOW that the NG could have been at the Capitol on J6 anytime from 7am Forward within 15minutes of Pelosi contacting DOD and allowing them onto Capital grounds. That instead Pelosi wasted hourse calling the governor of MD and of VA and asking for the MD and VA NG – which could not have gotten to the Capital quucikly and which governors can not direct to leave their state – and Pelosi KNEW this.
We KNOW that the violence did not start until the CP teargassed a peaceful crowd.
We KNOW that outside of the West Tunnel entrace there was virtually no violence at all.
We KNOW that the claims that Violence was planned are FALSE.
We KNOW that on in 10 people present in the crowd were FBI or Metro Police or FBI infoormants.
We KNOW that some unknown amount of Antifa was present.
WE KNOW that the CP used Deadly force against protestors when they did NOT face a threat justifying deadly force.
These are NOT opinjons – they are FACTS.
Jack Smith and left wing nuts are free to engage in mind reading, But there are no FACTS to support their claims.
John Say, that’s a lot of talk for saying nothing different than what MAGA has been saying for years without proof.
“ If you were looking for proof of misconduct by Trump – Smith was a complete failure.”
No, Smith was not a complete failure. He had the evidence and he was prevented from presenting it to the public. He already had proof of misconduct. Cannon and Republicans worked hard to prevent any evidence gathered by Smith to be seen by the public.
Even Turley knew Smith’s classified documents case was stronger than he wanted to admit. No mind reading is needed to present evidence of intent and motive behind Trump’s attempt to overturn the election which failed I might add.
“We KNOW” this “We KNOW that. Pfffft…you don’t know squat. Such assertions made from ignorance and feigned bravado sure sounds assertive when it is backed up with zero evidence or your own “mind reading” skills.
Smith’s case had the greatest chance of success because Trump did steal classified documents and he did obstruct justice to prevent any accountability for his criminal actions.
X says: “John Say, that’s a lot of talk for saying nothing different than what MAGA has been saying for years without proof.”
X/George/Anonymous/Svelez… These confident proclamations of yours… your utter lack of any degree of reading comprehension leads you to make the weirdest proclamations as though you think the audience here will accept them as fact.
And your undeveloped prefrontal cortex leaves you believing that the new year means you suddenly have credibility.
You do not. Whatever credibility you ever had, you’ve worked diligently over the years to destroy whatever existed with an ongoing litany of lies, insults and defaming of your host, deflections, denial and defense of terrorists, your fellow racists, communists, and thieves.
You are merely a Cheap Fake American that Professor Turley is cursed with having as his personal parasite, using his website and blog as your own. Because even you know that, if you tried to establish a blog of your own, the only one reading it would be you.
X when I say “WE Know” that means there is Video and/or documentary evidence and?or credible testimony from parties with no reason to lie.
These are what we call FACTS
As opposed to Your ouija board mind reading and opinions.
You can go view that 100K+ hours of video of the Capital on J6 – rather than the 10min of cherry picked and deceptively edited garbage that the MSM and J6 committee put out.
You can review the documents – email exchanged between the WH and the CP prior to J6, The orders Trump issued and that were passed down the chain of command to Gen WAlker days before.
The logs of the JCS and logs of the orders passing down the chain of command.
One of the things the Military does incredibly well is document orders – not just what the orders are but exactly when they were issued and by who they were issued.
Virtually anything done in the military outside of orders is illegal. The military is very very good at documening orders.
But beyond emails and orders and other documented communications, we also have testimoney under oath.
Everyone from Meados and Miley and the Sec Def and Asst Sed DEf down through Gen Walker testified in great detail to absolutely everything related to J6 and the NG presence there and how that came about. Not only did they testify – but they did so MULTIPLE TIMES.
There was an IG inquiry a Military inquiry and the J6 committee inquiry as well as the subsequent republican J6 inquiry.
Nearly all these records are available to the public.
“John Say, that’s a lot of talk for saying nothing different than what MAGA has been saying for years without proof.”
We have debated this for 5 years – you have been provided the proof over and over.
“No, Smith was not a complete failure. He had the evidence and he was prevented from presenting it to the public.”
You talk about having no proof and we are supposed to beleive a claim that evidence that has never been made avilable exists ?
Smith’s investigation leaked like a seive – there is no secret Smith evidence no one has seen.
Smith had the oportunity to present it to congress – instead he provided a false narative.
He did not claim he had evidence no one has seen. He claimed the evidence EVERYONE has seen mens something that it obviously does not.
“He already had proof of misconduct.”
False and not the standard. Please use the correct words. Misconduct is conduct you do not like. Or conduct you think is immoral or unethical. In most instances misconduct is SUBJECTIVE. A crime is very specific. Smith provided no evidence that a crimne had occured involving Trump. Like you he made mind reading and ouija board claims.
He litterally claimed that publicly expressing distrust of election results is a crime.
That would put pretty much all democrats in jail for 2016 and many for 2024.
His other claims are similar nonsense.
“Cannon and Republicans worked hard to prevent any evidence gathered by Smith to be seen by the public.”
The J6 Committee was run by Democrats – as evidneced by the Smith testimony the J6 committee was illegally feeding Smith evidence he was not able to procure himself without violating the 4th amendment.
Smith did NOT have secret evidence, He had very little that the J6 committee did not have and he was restricted by the law from presenting Hearsay and other nonsense in court.
Cannon should have dismissed the case much earlier. Regardless, Smith had nothing that we have not already seen.
I beleive all the garbage you claim smith had has been made public already – If not I fully support doing so.
There is no There there. If you do not know that – you are a moron.
“Even Turley knew Smith’s classified documents case was stronger than he wanted to admit.”
False – Turley provided speculation over the past several years that if Smith could prove things that we have subsequently learned were false that Smith might have a case. Turley never claimed smith had proven anything – only that it was possible that he might prove something. That never happened. The classified documents case was always a loser.
“No mind reading is needed to present evidence of intent and motive behind Trump’s attempt to overturn the election which failed I might add.”
Not if you have EVIDENCE – but you do not. And when you do not – that is called mind reading.
Regardless, Smith failed in this hearing when he flat out claimed that publicly distrusting the results of an election are a crime.
I would further note that even assuming you were correct – that Smith could prove motive and intent – neither of which he has done,
First you do not under stand what Mens Rea which is what you are actually talking about means.
It does not mean doing something intentionally. It means Knowing that something is wrong and doing it anyway.
When you are trying to argue that what someone said is not protected by the First amendment – you have already lost the Mens rae argument.
Finally – Mens Rea is NOT enough for a crime. You need an ACT that is ALWAYS A CRIME.
If you go to the grocery store with the specific intent to shop lift and you leave the gorcery store having paid for everything you leave with – you have not committed a crime.
To commit a crime you must commit an ACT that is ALWAYS illegal, and most of the time you must do so deliberately and knowing that it is illegal.
Judge Dugans repeated remarks that she would take the heat for thwarting ICE are NOT a crime. But they are proof of Mens rea – that she KNEW interfering with ICE was a crime and that she intended to do so. It is her ACTIONS – the ACTUAL interference with ICE that is the actual crime. Had she directed Ruiz to leave through the front doors of the court room should would not be headed to jail.
Smith’s claim is that telling people to distrust an election is a crime – that is nonesense – but that is his testimony.
I would note that if Trump telling people to distruct the election results is a crime – then Smith’s testimony would also be a crime.
He is making false claims about the law.
Making false claims about the law – even under oath is not a crime any more than making true claims about the election.
Again Hillary is not in jail for sewing distruct about the 2015 election and many democrats including yourself are free despite sewing distrust about the 2024 election.
This is all free speech and Smiths testimony was a DUD.
““We KNOW” this “We KNOW that. Pfffft…you don’t know squat. Such assertions made from ignorance and feigned bravado sure sounds assertive when it is backed up with zero evidence or your own “mind reading” skills.”
Again records that have been made public, Testimoney, transscripts, video.
Yes, X anyone not a moron KNOWS
“Smith’s case had the greatest chance of success because”
It would be tried by a bitterly partisan jury and courts in DC.
It is likely Smith would have won in DC,
But would have been b—h slapped by SCOTUS on appeal.
” Trump did steal classified documents”
False – even smith did not claim that.
These was a key argument in the case before Cannon. Smith explicitly refused to claim that the documents were stolen.
The reason he did not do so is because Theft is an intentional act and if the Documents were “intentionally” moved to MAL with the “intention” of taking posession of them While Trump was still president – then they are declassified.
The moment Smith claimed Theft – Cannon was going to throw the whole case out.
The president while president Can not steal classified documents, and if Trump acted intentionally then they are declassified and the case is over.
The Core to Smith’s case is that Trump did NOT move the classified documents to MAL because his presidency was ending and he wanted to keep them – because then they are declassified.
Smith’s case was that these documents were legitimately moved to MAL while Trump was president – not so he could keep them after his presidency, but so he could use them DURING his presidency. But trying top thread that needle Smith avoided the PRA and the president can declassify anything he wants argument. But he is left ONLY with the claim that Because Trump did not remove the documents to MAL with the intention fo keeping them, that they were still classified and they are not Trump’s property – because he did not “intentionally” remove them to MAL for the purpose of keeping them.
Smith charged Trump with illegaly possessing classified documents – failure to return them
A claim of theft would have ended the case with a directed verdict for Trump by Cannon.
“he did obstruct justice to prevent any accountability for his criminal actions.”
the obstruction claim is completely obliterated by FBI documents recently released.
There are DOZENS of communications between the FBI and DOJ telling them that a warrant for MAL would be unconstitutional
among other reasons because Trump was cooperating and the FBI had been givern permission by Trump to serch MAL for classified documents any time it wanted.
Again DOCUMENTS – not mind reading or ouija bords – this is called EVIDENCE even PROOF.
There is a great deal of other evidence – but this was in the news recently and therefor you can not be unaware of it.
I would further note Smith was aware of it from the start. Smith is therefore actually guilty of abuse of authority under color of law – a federal crime.
While I do not think Smith was involved in the MAL warrant, He did charge obstruction and hhe did so while in possession of evidence that there was no obstruction.
Another Gish Gallop from John Say.
I saw the videos broadcast as they happened. Teargas was not used before the outer barriers were shoved aside and police assaulted.
Are you saying Trump pardoned Antifa? That’s delusional.
The Capitol Police did not use deadly force at any time.
I saw people with plastic handcuffs going into the galleries looking to abduct legislators. Or, per John Say, just decoration.
They were supporting the President, who could have called on them to halt at any time. It’s not Pelosi’s mob.
Trump may have wanted a mass murder of his followers to justify martial law and an indefinite suspension of the election and a permanent holding of office. At the least he waited until it was clear the attack had failed.
How precisely did Trump instigate that “scary” so-called “attack”? The leftist, black supremacist Brian Cole planted his bombs on January 5, 2021. Also, the RNC and DNC are not the U.S. Capitol, dummy. Ergo, the leftist, black supremacist Brian Cole does not qualify for the already issued pardon.
(b) grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;
at or near.
As soon as Brian Cole is convicted he will be covered by this pardon.
It has been well known since at least the day of her testimony to the J6 committee that everything Hutchinson knew, or thought she knew, was at best second-hand and quite likely third-hand or worse. The entire committee (including the Pelosi-appointed “republicans”) knew her testimony did not include first-hand knowledge of anything relevant and was most likely totally false, but it served the narrative they and their MSM allies were pushing. Nothing any of those politicians have said and nothing put out by the MSM will ever be corrected by them based on what Smith says now. Some of them may stop mentioning Hutchinson and her testimony, but they will never back off the false narrative that it helped them promote. What Smith has to say about it now is not new, nor will it do anything to change the J6 narrative the Left and the MSM conitnue to say about it in the future.
Smith pointed out the fact that nobody can deny, even Trump’s closest most trusted advisors during the Jan 6 rioting. They all told him to stop the violence and protect the VP. He never lifted a finger to stop it until it became clear the attempt to overturn the election would not succeed. He pardoned multiple criminals who ended up committing more crimes and ironically the most damning one so far is the pipe bomber, a Trump supporter, who may have been pardoned and cannot be indicted because if it. MAGA and Turley kept implying the pipe bomber was ANTIFA or something related to the left, but when he was shown to be a staunch Trump supporter everyone on the right went silent including Turley. How strange that the incident is all of a sudden not that important because a leftist was not involved but one of their own.
X.George: In 2026, please try to practice the reading comprehension and context skills that you so often speak of.
Please try to at least contemplate other motives by the J6 pipe bomber, and why he might tell authorities certain things.

Thanks in advance.
Lin, the pipe bomber denied he is a Trump supporter when he was arrested. The distinction is he WAS a Trump supporter when he planted the bombs in the first place. He was “helping” the Trump cause by planting bombs on both party affiliated offices to maintain the illusion of a random act of violence. Cole was a staunch Trump supporters until he was arrested.
He only became a ‘non-Trump supporter’ when he got caught and much later when he saw Trump’s BS. As you said, context matters. Perhaps you should investigate further than a mere cursory posting of articles. Thanks in advance.
Thanks, George, I stand by my words.
Perhaps you should look at your own, “the most damning one so far is the pipe bomber, a Trump supporter…”
Please provide evidence–as you demand of others–of Cole attending Trump rallies, supporting him in writings or social media, voting for him, or even supporting him to his family and friends etc.
That should be easy for you, because your insight into him has already assigned a motive for the pipe bombs at both DNC and RNC (“to maintain the illusion of a random act of violence”) to supersede his own explanation.
Of course, he has had five years to think about, prepare, and explain his reasons to Trump’s FBI.
It’s clear that you are clearly ruled by the Internet media.
If you wish to stand by your ignorance that is your prerogative.
He agreed with Trump’s claims of a rigged election and that the election was stolen. Not a whole lot of proof is needed to show he was indeed a big fan of Trump’s claims making him a de-facto Trump supporter. Remember to him Trump is neither a republican or a democrat. Trump is the only one he believes in. That is the point.
Lin asked for evidence not more of your FACT FREE CLAIMS.
WE have mind reading on your part – more ouija board evidence.
Lin asked for ACtual evidence – not left wing nut speculation.
As opposed to your daily speculation? “We KNOW”….lots of things without evidence. Right?
Lin has all the evidence he needs at his fingertips. The only thing getting in his way is his urge to ignore it.
“We Know” – i.e there is video, documents that are now public, and testimoney under oath.
As I hve said numerous times before – it is not my job to provide you with sources for the vast amounts of information that is already available publicly – sometimes even from MSM sources.
I beleive it is WaPo that release the FBI emails that prove Trump was cooperating with the FBI prior to the MAL raid than that the lawyers int he FBI refused to get a warrant because there was no 4th amendment basis to do so.
Regrdless – you either know that or your are an idiot or a liar.
I can not correct the fact that you are an idiot or a liar.
Google can point you to the documentary evidence.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alleged-d-c-pipe-bomber-brian-cole-court-appearance-detention/
“Cole told investigators during an interview after his arrest that he had driven to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5 to attend a protest over the outcome of the 2020 election and did not tell his family he was going to a protest in support of Mr. Trump, prosecutors said. He said that after the 2020 election, he began following the issue on YouTube and Reddit “when it first seemed like something was wrong” and “stuff started happening,” according to Justice Department filings. He said that “if people feel that their votes are like just being thrown away, then . . . at the very least someone should address it,” prosecutors said.”
how easily you skirt around his purchases and storage of weapons and bomb-making materials in 2018 and 2019,–WAY before Trump lost the 202 election. You lose. Your turn.
X says: If you wish to stand by your ignorance that is your prerogative.
Did you wipe your mouth with toilet paper after those words passed your lips X? Or at least do everyone near you a solid by chewing on a breath mint after pumping out that BS?
That line provides the reason for why X considers any chance of seeing himself in a mirror as his personal kryptonite – projecting his personal failings, lack of credibility, and dishonesty on those who he hates as much as he hates black Americans is most of what very little X has at his command.
Pleading your well known primary school level reading comprehension issues won’t save you this time X.
That little opening line of projection and a complete lack of self awareness might be the key to why you confidently come here every day to lie, deny, obfuscate and deflect – believing that somehow or other, there are people here who actually believe what you post.

“the pipe bomber denied he is a Trump supporter when he was arrested. The distinction is he WAS a Trump supporter when he planted the bombs in the first place. He was “helping” the Trump cause by planting bombs on both party affiliated offices to maintain the illusion of a random act of violence. Cole was a staunch Trump supporters until he was arrested.”
And you are correct despite absolutely no evidence at all to support your claim,
“He only became a ‘non-Trump supporter’ when he got caught and much later when he saw Trump’s BS. As you said, context matters. Perhaps you should investigate further than a mere cursory posting of articles. Thanks in advance.”
X – YOU have provided ZERO evidence – your claims contradict themselves.
Accordingf to you – first he is a trump supporter, then later he isn’t – which is it?
Even YOU seem to be claiming he was AntiTrump when he made and planted the pipe bombs.
But then your claims have no evidence,. are self contradictory and just pulled out of your ass.
Thus far the evidence is pretty strong that the Bomber was mentally unhealthy – like a large number of people who do this stuff.
Trying to call him a left wing nut or a right wing nut is like trying to claim Ted Kazinsky or Holmes were politically motivated.
I would be happy to argue that the Pipe Bomber was a left wing nut and there is LOTS of evidence to support that.
Even you claim he became anti-trump before making and planting the bombs.
But the fact is that he has mental health issues.
And you either KNOW that and are engaged in fact free cherry picking of often false reports in the press.
Or you are LYING
Something you do all the time.
The pipe bomber is not MAGA, he was not pardoned.
He is a mentally unhealhty person.
John Say, if you took time to read through all the articles pertaining to Cole and the DOJ’s own reluctance to immediately label him a “radical leftist” or something to feed MAGA shows us the claims are with near certainty to be true. I’m just using the same logic you apply to everything when you can’t provide evidence. We KNOW it’s true. That’s all the evidence required based on your logic.
“John Say, if you took time to read through all the articles pertaining to Cole”
I have – what is clear is that YOU havent.
“the DOJ’s own reluctance to immediately label him a “radical leftist””
It is not DOJ’s job to provide political fodder to the left or the right.
And as I have said – the evidence strongly suggests that Cole is mentally unhealthy.
Out side of left wing nuts the rest of us do not take seriously claims that mentally disturbed people are actually rational and politically motivated.
And NO What DOJ chooses to assert publicly is NOT proof of anything.
It is one thing to claim that if DOJ had evidence of Trump Malfeasance with Epstain – they would have used it doing the FOUR YEARS Biden was president.
It is altogether different to claim that if DOJ does not make claims regaring political motive in a case that is going to trial and that could involve an insanity defense, that there failure to make a claim is proof that the opposite is true.
This is NOT a binary issue – but you are trying to force it to be one – again something the left does all the time.
Not only are their possibilities besides Cole is motivated by the left or cole is motivated by the right,
But it is near certain that Both of those are false.
Once again you fail critical thinking.
“something to feed MAGA shows us the claims are with near certainty to be true.”
What complete idiocy. There are more than two possibilities and the most likely one is Cole was nuts, not Cole was left or Right.
But in X world DOJ’s failure to publicly claim Coles motive was left wing nut means the only possibility he is right wing nut ?
That is absurd – You fail logic once again.
“I’m just using the same logic you apply to everything when you can’t provide evidence.”
I have never made a claim this absurd.
“We KNOW it’s true. That’s all the evidence required based on your logic.”
False, I stated “WE KNOW” when there is tons of video, documentary and sworn testimony.
John Say,
“ I would be happy to argue that the Pipe Bomber was a left wing nut and there is LOTS of evidence to support that.”
ROLF! And yet you don’t provide any evidence. Like I said. I’m just using the same logic you are. It seems you too contradict yourself.
Others have provided the evidence.
Regardless, The fact that I would be happy to do something does not mean that I will do it if it is wrong.
There is a far better case for Cole is a left wing nut.
But the strongest case is that Cole is just nuts.
Trying to put words into my mouth does not change that.
Lin, furthermore, Cole was wholly supportive of Trump’s claims about the election being stolen. He was sympathetic about Trump’s complaints and “expressing” disillusionment from both parties he was STILL a Trump believer/supporter of the election being stolen narrative. Hence being a Trump supporter. That is why Fox News and MAGA has been really quiet about it. Any indictment will be moot if he was included in the blanket pardon Trump issued.
“Any indictment will be moot if he was included in the blanket pardon Trump issued.”
Think about what you just said, George.
Perhaps it’s you who needs to think. The only reason Cole’s story is being ignored by Fox News and MAGA is because he was not the “evil crazy leftist” many on the right made him out to be before it was revealed he was indeed a huge Trump supporter. It became an inconvenient truth, useless for the MAGA narrative.
Smith’s testimony was more than just Hutchinson’s claims and Republicans don’t want to go further than that as Turley does. It’s a distraction at best. The economy, the Epstein files, Trump’s failing health, and the increasing incompetence of his governance is going to cost the Republicans dearly and they know it. Once Trump is gone or incapacitated by his failing health they will not have any direction or content agenda.
George:
I regret that you are unable to walk around your own words. I merely asked you to consider a wider context of “motive.”
Likewise, your claims are without merit as to “ignored by Fox News and MAGA is because he was not the ‘evil crazy leftist’ many on the right made him out to be before it was revealed he was indeed a huge Trump supporter.”
Quite the contrary, George. Even Jeanine Pirro disagrees with your take, George. That’s pretty damning.
Cole was arrested on December 4.
On December 5 (shortly after his arrest)
“Pirro also suggested Cole may have been motivated by claims by Trump and his Republican allies that the 2020 election was stolen from him. ‘He was disappointed in various aspects of the election, but this guy was an equal opportunity bomber,’ Pirro said. ‘He was disappointed to a great deal in the system. Both sides of the system.’”
https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2025/12/05/suspect-in-dc-pipe-bomb-case-confessed-to-investigators-and-said-he-was-a-trump-supporter-sources-say/
(That appears to be a direct quote from Pirro, George,- not characterizations like yours about the “evil crazy leftist.”)
I don’t mind your views or opinions, George. I tend to periodically and simply call you out when you present them as fortified and vetted official conclusions. Thanks anyway.
Lin, Pirro has presided over the biggest incompetence exhibited in a long time. She couldn’t indict a ham sandwich if she wanted to. Getting a grand jury indictment is the easiest thing according to professionals. You’re vouching for her credibility vs reality sure says a lot.
The MAGA-verse was Adamant the pipe bomber was a leftist because he planted one on a Republican office. According to them it MUST have been a crazy leftist. We have seen this before whenever an incident is sure to have been done by a leftist and MAGA fans take it and run with it. Until it is discovered they were wrong and suddenly it’s not news. It’s not surprising it fits a pattern even Pirro has been guilty of engaging in.
I knew your response would take on this tone.
(1) “Ham sandwich?” Did you learn that from Upstate Farmer and some others? (I had never heard it before then. Not a phrase I use.)
(2) You say, “You’re (me, Lin.) vouching for her credibility vs reality sure says a lot.” (I think you meant “your” because “you’re” means “you are, and “you are vouching for her credibility vs reality sure says a lot” is a nonsensical sentence.)
How am I vouching for credibility of any one? This is one of your silliest, George.
Pirro is admitting -from the getgo, – that Cole may at least likely to have been inspired or motivated by what he believed were suspicious 2020 election results. His own words reflect disappointment and frustration with BOTH parties and systems (exactly what Pirro states).
You’re not even making sense as you dig yourself in deeper. I’m not going to waste any more time on this, so go ahead, hit me with your best shot, because your first three missed. Thanks anyway.
Lin, if you’ve never heard of the analogy about grand juries able to indict a ham sandwich perhaps you’re not a well read lawyer.
“ Pirro is admitting -from the getgo, – that Cole may at least likely to have been inspired or motivated by what he believed were suspicious 2020 election results. His own words reflect disappointment and frustration with BOTH parties and systems (exactly what Pirro states).”
Dancing around and quibbling over semantics does not change the fact that Cole believed Trumps claims. What he thought of the parties is irrelevant. He suppprted the idea that the election was stolen from Trump hence making him a Trump supporter and MAGA fanatic. MAGA has been adamant the election was stolen. That wouldn’t make him a leftist, even by John say’s definition of a leftist.
Wow, Lin and John Say really got under X’s skin, calling him out. look at him lashing out, trying out new arguments to reason himself into circles. This is fun!
X-o is like Jell-o. He quivers and vacillates when cornered. He says that MAGAs blamed an “evil crazy leftist” WHICH X PUTS IN QUOTATION MARKS SO HE MUST BE QUOTING SOMEONE. BUT PROVIDES NO SOURCE. CLOWN. MAYBE HE IS QUOTING THE CHILD (GEORGIE) IN HIS HEAD.
“Pirro has presided over the biggest incompetence exhibited in a long time. She couldn’t indict a ham sandwich if she wanted to. Getting a grand jury indictment is the easiest thing according to professionals. You’re vouching for her credibility vs reality sure says a lot.”
All the world knows that indicting a democrat in DC is nearly impossible. Absolutely the left has demonstrated in those few enclaves they rigidly control that no amount of lawlessness by Democrats will get punished.
Pirro knew what she was up against and did the best that was possible.
Regardless idiot like you do not grasp that Pirro won.
She won by proving that DC is politically biased.
Those of you on the left do not seem to grasp that You lose the moment you act.
Trump lost the NG case in SCOTUS
That has 3 consequences.
First Trump withdrew the NG proving he abides by the rule off law and court orders – obliterating your Trump is a fascist argument. I would further note that SCOTUS ruling against him obliterate your SCOTrump puppets arguments.
While they got this ruling wrong, in ruling against Trump they make their rulings for Trump in other cases obviously impartial.
Next – Democrats forced this issue – all that was necescary for the NG toi be deployed according to SCOTUS was the consent of Democrat Governors. Now Democrats own the crime increases, the murder increases and ever the conflicts with protestors and ICE in these cities. You say Republican government is incompetent – but itis YOUR domains that are failing and crime ridden.
Next this decision angered lots of people – including many on the left and many in these blue districts that actually want law and order. There are republicans demanding that Trump invoke the Insurrection act – which SCOTUS practically begged Trump to do. But I do not think that will occur. If Democrats want more violence in the places the NG has left – YOU OWN IT.
Those off you on the left keep picking lose-lose fights with Trump.
You think that all the effort you have expended to keep Abreeggo Garcia in the US is some how a victory.
Garcia will be deported eventually. But in the mean time it is Beneficial to Trump and Republicans for Judges like Xinis and Boasberg to be thwarting efforts to deport him and a handful of other.
Trump still managed to deport nearly a million illegal immigrants last year – about 45% of which were convicted criminals and another 40% of which were alleged criminals. Further atleast 1.2M people Self Deported.
And what has the left accomplished – a few winning cases over a clear Gang Banger.
You do not seem to grasp that you lose even when you win.
There has been little or no decline in support for deportation.
After a brief drop Trump’s hispanic support is back over 40%
Surprisingly Judge Dugan was convicted of a fellony – but win or lose – That case was a Win for Trump and republicans.
Trumps support is pretty solid – he has the best early 2nd term approval of any president since Reagan.
And much of the decline in his polls is not because people are buying left wing nonsense, but because supporters are bothered that he is not doing MORE of what he promised. There are lots of people angry with Trump because MORE left wing nuts have not be jailed.
No the MAGA crowd did not prejudge the politics of the Pipe Bomber.
That story has gone like nearly all these stories.
Some bad thing happens and those on the right say lets wait for the facts, While praying “please don’t let this be one of us”
Meanwhile the left IMMEDIATELY blames the right never even considering it is probably one of them.
You did this with Crooke, and Robinason and …… and you are doing it now with Cole.
“We have seen this before whenever an incident is sure to have been done by a leftist and MAGA fans take it and run with it. Until it is discovered they were wrong and suddenly it’s not news.”
We have ? When ? Was Crooke on the right ? Was Robinason ? Please what significant act of political violence was committed by anyone on the right ?
You do not live in the real world.
That is OK because the majority of people do, and they have determined that you are a fantacist and a liar.
You don’t matter anymore.
Another failure via Gish Gallop.
Jeanine Pirro is not on Fox News, not anymore. Cole said he went there to participate in Trump’s rally as part of his confession. He supported Trump’s position – that is also known as supporting Trump.
No, it is known as supporting the idea that there were machinations involving the 2020 election. It does not conclude that Cole supported Trump. It means that he supports the TRUE person whom the electorate voted for. STOP conflating the two.
X – Your rambling screed simply has no basis in reality. The bluesky sources you quote are truly embarrassing.
Coles story is not being ignored. As he appears in court or as information becomes available – it is reported.
Fox and “MAGA” outlets cover it regularly.
Almost everyday I see a new sory on Cole – from right sources.
Cole does not appear to be any more an evil crazy leftist than he is MAGA.
He is a disturbed young adult.
“Smith’s testimony was more than just Hutchinson’s claims ”
Correct – but it was still false with respect to the facts and the law as well as such fundimetal issues as What is and is not a crime.
“Republicans don’t want to go further than that as Turley does.”
Republicans Called Smith to testify – not Democrats.
Absolutely Republicans are looking more deeply into J6 and the false naratives being shilled by Democrats.
“It’s a distraction at best.”
Or maybe it is that Trump and Republicans can chew gum and walk at the same time.
“The economy”
Is doing fine – 2025 ended with 3% real growth.
2026 is projected to have 4.5$ real growth.
” the Epstein files”
Keep biting Demoocrats in the ass.
“Trump’s failing health”
Trump is in excellent health for a nearly 80yr old. He is probably in better health than I am.
But he is not going to live for ever.
At this time – unlike Biden there is ZERO evidence that he is not up to the job of President.
He does more in a month that Biden did in his entire presidency.
He is flying all over the world all the time. Doing many many many things at once.
No president in my lifetime has been this actively engaged.
“the increasing incompetence of his governance”
Please keep saying that over and over.
Republicans face an uphill battle in 2026 – Only twice in the past 60 years has a party that controlled all three branches of govenrment held onto them through midterms.
If history is the determining factor – democrats will take the house.
Right now the odds favor that. But those odds are not overwhelming.
Further CONTRA your claim – Trump did a massive amount in 2025 and those accomplishments in 2025 are starting to bear fruit.
It is highly likely that barring some completely unforseen event like Katrina or Covid that the odds of Democrats rgaining the house will decline through the year.
The economy is improving – we are in the chaotic phase of many efforts to bring about world peace.
But there iss a very good chance that the Ukraine war will end soon, there will be broader peace deals int he mideast,
The iranian regime will collapse, making the mideast much more peaceful. Madoru will be in exile and Venezuela will have good govenrment. And on and on.
Your idiotic claim that Trump is facing some serious health threat is evidence free.
But lets presume it to be true – radically different from Trump’s first term is that THIS Term Trump has nearly the entirety of Government working to accomplish his agenda.
The left rails about Rubio, Vance, Bondi, Gabbard, Noem, RFK Jr, and myriads of other high profile actors in this administration.
But the FACT is that Only SOME members of the Senate are NOT working towards accomplishing Agenda 47.
This is one of the weirdest 2nd terms in history. Lame ducks are nearly always impotent.
But Trump is accomplishing more than he did in his first term.
And in all likelyhood you could completely remove Trump and that would continue.
There are Tiny spats in the GOP. There are slight conflicts over exactly how strong to support Israel or Ukraine.
There is also lots of jockeying for positions for 2028. Pretty much Trump’s entire Cabinet is also looking to their own political future.
Trump has a true team of rivals. Working together and simultaneously competing.
Sometimes that has somne rough edges – but it is producing more executive accomplishment than we have ever seen.
And that is what Democrats rightly fear.
Another John Say Gish Gallop.
Again where is the Evidence ?
BTW Fox is running regular stories on Cole – as it the rest of the Right leaning media.
Put away the Ouija board and provide actual evidence.
It is not like you have not been WRONG about pretty much everything you have ever claimed.
How did the claim that Tyler Robinson was MAGA go for you ? For Kimmel ?
Can you tell us anytime you have ever been Right ?
Tyler Robinson is a product of a MAGA upbringing.
Kimmel didn’t say he was MAGA. Kimmel said that the MAGA crowd was working hard over the weekend to prove Tyler Robinson wasn’t one of them. He said nothing specific about Tyler Robinson nor Charlie Kirk. He was talking about chuds such as the personality you have crafted in that Moscow basement studio of yours.
I think Lin and John Say are the same person working in a Russian propaganda office.
“Smith pointed out the fact that nobody can deny, even Trump’s closest most trusted advisors …”
Actually false.
Trump had ordered the NG to be ready and available DAYS before.
You left wing nuts as well as smith completly igfnore the FACT that the Capital and the capital grounds are 110% outside of the jurisdiction of the Executive branch.
You keep saying Trump should have done something – What ? What could he legally and constitutionally do that he had not already done ?
Trump made the NG available to Congress DAYS before. From 7am on J6 Gen Walker was waiting with men on busses at the DC Armory.
This was directly the result of Trump orders givern to Miley and Sec Def and passed down to Walker days before.
Further the WH had Begged the Sargent At arms to allow the NG to go to the Capital BEFORRE the protests – and was rebuffed MUltiple times at Pelosi’s direction.
You claim Trump must protect the VP – yet no one ever got near the VP and no one ever posed an actual threat to anyone in congress
The only violence on J6 was instigated by the CP. There were multple uses of Deadly force ALL by the CP.
Regardless, as anyonee who is no moron should know by now – The president can not Order Anyone one in the Executive to go to the Capital,
Without the permission of Congress. The president has no jurisdiction or authority over the capital or capital grounds.
Trump did EVERYTHING that was possible days before J6.
The responsibility for the secutity at the capitol rests SOLELY on Congress – specifically Schumer and Pelosi.
If Trump has sent the NG without a request from the Capital – That would have ACTUALLY been a crime.
And you left wing nuts would have claimed that Trump was using the military to overthrow congress.
The pipe bomber was not pardoned – I linked to the actual pardon above.
Nor was the Pipe Bomber MAGA – nor does he appear to be Antifa.
He appears to be a typical person with mental health issues and an illogical ideoloogy.
“Trump had ordered the NG to be ready and available DAYS before.”
Then why were they not in place before the speech started?
In fact all Trump did was ask about them; he issued no orders. The President is Commander in Chief and can take whatever measures are required for the safety of the Vice President and the Congress and Supreme Court.
What law would have been violated to make that a crime?
The VP was evacuated from the Capitol building proper to the Capitol building subterranean garage with a full protective detail. Trump wanted him chased from the complex to excuse military law and stop the vote counting to have the votes discarded and slates of electors submitted without democratic process by state legislators, against state laws. That suggests he was in considerable danger.
See https://www.uscp.gov/the-department/oversight and tell me where the House Majority leader is on that organization chart.
Here’s a more complete chart, comrade: https://www.uscp.gov/sites/evo-subsites/uscp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/USCP%20Organizational%20Chart_SIGNED%202-21-24.pdf
X
As usual you spew a long rant of garbage that has zero basis in Fact.
The DC NG at Trump’s order DAYS before was waiting at the DC armory at 7am to deploy to the capital.
All that was necescary was for Pelosi to rescind her direction tot he Capital Sargent at Arms that precluded them from asking for the NG and Walker would be there in minutes.
The ball was ENTIRELY in Pelosi’s court. The Only action needed was Pelosi’s
Trump had already done everything he had the authoritty to do.
No the pipe bomber was not accidentally pardoned.
Read the actual text of the pardon – he does not qualify 7 ways from Sunday
Your Crazy lying just makes you look like a fool.
On December 31, 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested District of Columbia National Guard troops be deployed to support D.C. police during the expected demonstrations. In her request, she wrote that the guards would not be armed and that they would be primarily responsible for “crowd management” and traffic direction, allowing police to focus on security concerns. Miller approved the request on January 4, 2021, activating 340 troops, with no more than 114 to be deployed at any given time. In a January 4 memo, Miller prohibited deploying D.C. Guard members with weapons, helmets, body armor or riot control agents without his personal approval.
Three days before the riots, the Department of Defense twice offered to deploy the National Guard to the Capitol, but was told by the Capitol Police it would not be necessary. On January 3, Sund was reportedly refused additional National Guard support by House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul D. Irving and Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael C. Stenger. On January 5, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy issued a memo directly placing limits on D.C. National Guard. The commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, Major General William J. Walker, explained the change, saying: “All military commanders normally have immediate response authority to protect property, life, and in my case, federal functions – federal property and life. But in this instance, I did not have that authority.”
According to Miller’s later statements, on January 3, Miller was ordered by Trump to “do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators” on January 6. On January 22, Miller disputed the criticism that the Pentagon had delayed deployment of the Guard, calling it “complete horseshit”.
“At 4:22 p.m., Trump issued a video message on social media in which he repeated his claims of electoral fraud, praised his supporters and told them to “go home”. By 4:24 p.m., a 12-man armed FBI SWAT team had arrived at the Capitol Complex. Then-Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller finally approved deployment of the National Guard at 4:32 p.m. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, later told the House committee that investigated January 6 that Pence, not Trump, had requested the deployment of the National Guard.”
“The Capitol Police Board – consisting of the Architect of the Capitol, the House Sergeant at Arms, and the Senate Sergeant at Arms – has the authority to request the National Guard to the Capitol but made the decision on January 3 not to do so.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_response_to_the_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack
“…that Pence, not Trump, had requested the deployment of the National Guard.”
Pence has no authority. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406
At worst, if Miller was truthful, Pence was merely carrying a message on behalf of the President.
X/George/Anonymous tried this: Smith pointed out the fact that nobody can deny, even Trump’s closest most trusted advisors during the Jan 6 rioting.
X… surely not even you will post a denial that you are completely aware that nobody reading your lying screeds assigns you even the slightest shred of credibility and trust.
It’s 2026, and X is back behind the wheel of the Democrat Commie Clown car, looking for his fellow Democrat bottom feeders and hopefully crying “Let’s roll!”
