Lieu exposes Trump's admission of guilt

Lieu citing Mike Lee that Pres. Trump made a mistake, “a mulligan.” But, Lieu said, it wasn’t mistake. He intended it. How do we know that? He told us.

Trump asked Jan. 12 about his role in the attack Jan. 6: “everybody thought it was totally appropriate.”

Around Christmas, I read on DU that the Proud Boys' favorite DC hotel announced they were closing the week of Jan. 4th. That was close to when Trump tweeted to come to the Capitol on the 6th. It will be "fun".

These folks were further inspired by the fresh results of the Georgia runoff election too. Imagine the turnout if a week had passed instead of a day.
