This is pretty juicy so I wanted to share it: The Judge reviewing Eastman's documents has ordered all but 10 to be turned over to the Jan 06 committee and had this stunner in his summary, quote:Dr. Eastman and President Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic I hope the judge has referred this over to the DOJ for action. edit: Another zinger: quote:Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump Murgos fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Mar 28, 2022 |

Garland and Biden apparently made the decision not to indict a former president.

The Jan 6 stuff that is coming out now is in a really weird place between being a huge story and being a complete non-story. Like, in theory, it's a big deal to see everybody's "suspicions" (read: incredibly obvious inferences) confirmed, but on the other hand the political power to do anything about it doesn't exist* and it seems like literally nobody's mind can be changed by literally any amount of evidence. * Even setting aside Biden and Garland's arguable cowardice, and the very real danger of a backlash from voters at the "partisanship," the only way to get an actual conviction would be to screen the jury for political affiliation and I assume that's extremely unconstitutional.

The committee doesn't want to deal with the fight to get republicans to testify (which they should have started immediately because it requires so much time) and, as for compelling other key witnesses to come in, contempt of congress charges doesn't seem to be effective in that regard. It's been 14 months. The government a bunch of little guys. They got none of the main ones and public engagement is gone. They waited long enough so that not even the senate, which democrats control, would do an investigation. As for the lawsuits against Trump with him sitting for a deposition and the potential criminal charges in NY which never seem to materialize- I'll believe it when I see it. Their intentions did not seem to be actual consequences for big players but to keep it in the news and make political hay out of it. .

VorpalBunny posted:Ok, so in addition to the seizing of voting machines, Trump drafted these newly released "Remarks on National Healing" in anticipation of the insurrection, where he was planning on blaming Antifa? Which shows he had foreknowledge of the insurrection and the violence that would happen, and reportedly got mad when the QAnon Shaman and Confederate Flag fools were given so much screentime which blew his cover story?
