Former President Donald Trump on Friday released a letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chairman of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, after the panel voted to subpoena Trump over his role in the insurrection.
In the 14-page letter which includes a 10-page appendix and photos of the crowd at his rally that preceded the attack Trump rants about the committees investigation and repeats false claims about the 2020 election. But the former president did not say whether he would comply with a subpoena.
Dear Chairman Thompson, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! the letter begins, before launching into a litany of complaints and grievances.
Referring to the bipartisan panel as a Committee of highly partisan political Hacks and Thugs whose sole function is to destroy the lives of many hard-working American Patriots, Trump explains that the point of his letter is to express his anger, disappointment, and complaint that with [sic] all of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on what many consider to be a Charade and Witch Hunt. ..

The evidence and testimony presented by former members of his administration before the American people is proof enough that TDFG was the center of all this from the very beginning. TDFG in his own words was NOT staged.
TDFG can whine and throw hissy fits all he wants. The DOJ will get the last laugh as indictments come down on all of those who pled the 5th. For sure they are guilty.

You had zero evidence for your massive voter fraud claims. You were shot down over and over by judges who saw you had no proof. Your attorney Bill Barr told you to your face that you were full of bullshit. All fully documented by the Jan 6th committee.
Repeating your lies in this letter still doesnt make them true.

"Explained that US Capitol Police can only permit for 50 persons or less for any activities on Capitol Grounds.
Segregation is not allowed, and the group will need to remain in their designated area for the rest of the event."
Seems like these perps were using women and religion for cover...
That is all...
