https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaking-news-evidence-mounts?r=ex3rw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source='According to a January 2021 report by NBC News, in December 2020 a digital flyer made the rounds of Trumpist circles on Facebook and Instagram urging all Trump voters to descend on Washington on January 6 for Operation Occupy the Capitol.
On January 6, CNN would report that A source close to the White House who is in touch with some of the rioters at the Capitol said its the goal of those involved [in the insurrection] to stay inside the Capitol through the night. '

(16,093 posts)Nothing is going to happen to those who were involved in the planning...the DoJ hasn't and probably won't indict Bannon...which makes going after Meadows completely useless!
The 1/6 Committee might as well just close shop and quit wasting their time and our time, too!!!

(38,449 posts)Hearings are being held. Sometimes it takes a while, especially if the Justice Department wants to be
correct in charging the leaders of riot. That is the leaders of the riot that are high up in the political structure.
..If there are members of Congress to be charged, then it will take time to charge them. I watched the
Watergate investigation for a long time. And it took time to get all the information and proof that people
did what they did. This will also take time. And again, we are dealing with members of Congress, and a former
President of the United States. Certainly, when charges are made, you want to be sure that the proof
is totally correct and the charges are not thrown out by some minor mistakes.
............YES, THAT IS THE REASON THAT SO MUCH TIME IS INVOLVED...
............WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? LAST JANUARY, 10 MONTHS AGO. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE THE
RESEARCHERS AND THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO ARE LEADERS TRYING TO PROVE THAT TRUMP IS
GUILTY OF SOME OF THE WORST CHARGES. GIVE THOSE PEOPLE TIME, MORE TIME WE GIVE THE
RESEARCHERS, THE MORE TOTALAND COMPLETE PROOF WE WILL HAVE...SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TAKE TIME.
..........MORE IMPORTANT...MORE TIME. EXAMPLE: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO LEARN TO READ? AND LEARN
..........TO READ COMPLICATED AND INVOLVED ARTICLES???
............LEARNING TO READ IS EXTEMELY IMPORTANT.........AND IT TAKES TIME, MORE COMPLICATED, MORE TIME

(7,286 posts)Unless perhaps I'm living in some sort of time warp/loop that keeps repeating over and over and over again. kind of like Ground Hog day or other more relatable analogy.
The bit about "breaking news" seems like journalists have changed the meaning of the concept, and I keep falling for the bait.
Just have to make a point from this time forward to get it through my head that BREAKING NEWS doesn't mean "Breaking News".
Speaking of which, I long to see Reports of that slob-father's prosecution and conviction Breaking in the News, at long last.

(38,449 posts)THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WANTS (AND BIDEN TOO) IS THAT THE EVIDENCE AND TRIAL ARE NOT THROWN
OUT ON SOME TECHNICALITY. THE EVIDENCE AND THE MATERIALS MUST STAND UP TO,.. COMPLETE ANALYSIS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE OPPOSITION AND TRUMP WILL DO. THEY WILL USE EVERY TRICK TO CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT THERE IS NO PROOF TO THE CHARGES AND THE CHARGES ARE ALL FAKE!!
IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THIS IS TAKING SO MUCH......TIME...THAT IS THE REASON...
..MAKING SLUE THAT THE EVIDENCE IS IRON CLAD & WILL NOT BE THROWN OUT ON SOME TECHNICALITY
THAT WILL DESTROY THE CASE AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES.
AND I'M REASONABLY SURE THAT THIS IS THE REASON WHY THIS IS TAKING SO MUCH.....TIME!!!
AGAIN.. WE WANT THE EVIDENCE TO BE AS PERFECT AND TRUTHFUL AS POSSIBLE...............SO IN THE END........
........THE TRUMP CROWD IS TRIED, CONFIDED AND SENT TO PRISON...........
..........THAT IS WHAT I WANT, AND SUPPOSE YOU WANT...AND GETTING IT ALL RIGHT AND SURE THAT
..........IT WILL.NOT BE THROWN OUT ON SOME MINOR MISTAKE, THAT IS WHY THIS IS.............
................................TAKING SO MUCH TIME.......................
You may not like this interpretation .but that is why THIS IS TAKING SO MUCH TIME...PLEASE BE PATIENT.
WE ALL WANT CONVICTIONS IN THE END, AND NO THROW OUTS FROM OTHER COURT PROCEEDURES.
............THAT IS WHAT I WANT, .AND I SUPPOSE YOU WANT THE SAME THING!!!

(588 posts)I can't give a reference for this, but I remember reading somewhere right after the attack that one of the seditionists was quoted as saying that they had hoped to take some members of congress as prisoners and hold them as hostages to prevent police or military from trying to retake the building.

(14,971 posts)Hmm. Maybe thats why Trump wanted them protected by the National Guard.
Trump wanted National Guard to protect rioters, NOT Pence and Congress.
Overlooked Shocker:
Trump Acting Defense Secretary Miller Testified Wednesday That Trump Wanted the National Guard to Protect the Insurrectionists, Not the Capitol and Members of Congress!
by Mark Karlin, editor
Buzz flash.com, May 13, 2021
Wednesday marked an inflection point for Trumps Big Lie. However, whether it is the beginning or the end of the gaslighting of America into a totalitarian dictatorship remains to play itself out.
Most notably, the corporate media and many progressive outlets failed to headline the shocking admission by former Trump Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller (assigned in the last few weeks of the Trump reign to facilitate the coup attempt). Miller stated matter-of-factly to a Congressional committee that Trump was aware of the need for the National Guard, but that Trump was only interested in having the Guard protect the Constitutional rights of the protesters (insurrectionists).
According to Miller, Trump said "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights." Thats right, Trump wasnt interested in protecting elected officials in the Capitol, just his cult followers.
Snip...
McCarthy also made his mark on Wednesday by sending out e-mail donation text requests after a bipartisan meeting with President Biden, McConnell and Pelosi that read, "It's Kevin McCarthy. I just met with Corrupt Joe Biden and he's STILL planning to push his radical Socialist agenda onto the American people."
