IIRC the statute of limitations is five years and has passed.

Dr. Faustus posted:IIRC the statute of limitations is five years and has passed. This is only part true. Some of the counts expired and others still have some time to go. I don’t see them charging for the Mueller investigation obstruction though because there’s some chicken and egg stuff going on there that isn’t a slam dunk by any means. The president IS the executive branch, can he obstruct himself? Uh, maybe? I would say yes, but I wouldn’t trust scotus to make that same determination. And that’s where it would end up. I’m not even sure Trump can be charged for J06. But I do think he can be charged for obstruction after he was out of office.

I feel safe in saying that, for the most part, any group of people that primarily is paid to solve problems by force tends to lean Republican.

There seems to be bipartisan consensus that solving problems by force is awesome. Anyway, here's this from a marketing company, for what its worth. https://www.refuelagency.com/blog/military/win-the-military-vote-2020/ quote:Over the past five years, the military community overall has shifted its party affiliations. In 2015, 28% of the military identified as Republican; in 2020, this number has risen to 40%.

As always, "I'll sue everyone" https://twitter.com/la_lacouture_/status/1552518149584601088 "“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump's statement said. “I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 election.”" https://twitter.com/akarl_smith/status/1552371564083126273

This is just red meat. CNN would destroy him, and the discovery would bring up uncomfortable facts. I hope he's genuinely stupid enough to do this. I'm guessing some stupid $20 lawyer is telling him executive privilege will shield him from discovery.

They've shown that he knew it was all bullshit. This trial would be quicker than Bannon's.

Ok Trump, present the evidence of voter fraud and this will be an open and shut case of defamation. Just ship it on over. We've been waiting for two years to see this evidence. Whenever you're ready.

I always got the impression that Mulvaney was a Scaramucci-level Trump dickrider who Trump used for all he was worth and snookered him into doing like 8 peoples' jobs at once because he was that much of a squish for Daddy and only realized too late that he'd been had and Trump in fact was never going to return to loyalty he'd diffused out of every pore for him. Him scoring some payback for it all will be kind of fun to behold though, yes.

We're kinda getting the shape of the narrative, but we haven't seen a lot of documents. Some people willing to sing now will have deliberately not kept records before, providing only testimony. Some probably kept dox to protect themselves. These will come more from people that were against the plan. Some will surely have been sloppy, incomplete, leaving fragments or better. Opsec is hard. Some will have assumed there would never be an investigation or any subpoenas and just "yeah yeah yeahed" through suggestions for opsec (and maybe politely didn't take notes in certain meetings with certain persons). Then there's the media record, broadcasts and timestamped tweets and docu teams rolling; the committee has curated a trove, and shown us an illustrative sample to flesh out the narrative. Oh yeah, and snitches. There are always snitches. We know the feds have a shirload of dox, yeah? Biden should be able to unlock and examine any "top secret" file on the white house server, so all the federal records are accessible (and their absence anywhere should read like the Nixon tapes 17 minutes or whatever). We know the feds raided maralago. We know shreds of paper have been recovered from the white house toilet (!!). We can figure anyone willing to testify before Congress is willing to talk to the feds, and each will have some portion of dox. The feds can put leverage on a number of people to make then cough up more. The fed may have access to nsa dox, guiding some of the parallel reconstruction. Anything gathered by the j6 select committee is at the Fed's fingertips. This train is just getting going.

I don't think it's a coincidence that testimony is ramping up after Bannon was convicted. These people don't want to get in trouble, self preservation is their primary motivation. Contempt is worse than whatever Trump can do to them now. Might as well cooperate.

CNN's been calling it the Big Lie more or less since he started lying about it. At the very least since after Jan 6th. Gosh golly, wonder why he's only decided to be mad about it now.
