announced weeks before.

Now, if he produces a map where trump took a sharpie and instructed the Proud Boyz to breach the Capitol from the West, Oathkeepers from the East, and militia wannabes from the two remaining side-- we've got em.

(or something along those lines). I'd be ever so delighted to to be proven wrong - but there has to be something more tangible than whipping up the rally. In the meantime - I can draw enormous satisfaction in every drop of misery that is rained down upon Steve Bannon's head. Glory, glory!

14. Definitely like Bannon squirming. And trump has to be a bit worried.

Even if Bannon can’t directly tie trump to the insurrection, he has to know a lot about trump in other respects that could be investigated elsewhere or at least embarrass trump.

It won't have any effect legally but in Trumps mind he has the power and so can pardon him.

5. This is like how the Republic fell, and how we become a totalitarian empire, we're at that moment.

I think he was referring to certifying the election, but the truth of it comes out much different.
In actuality, I believes he expected the Republic to fall at the hands of the Trump insurrection, and a Trump-led totalitarian empire to emerge. It's the truth buried in the "Stop the Steal" lie.
No sugar coating that one.

In truth, the Steal was Stopped on the morning of January 7th when Vice-President Pence and those members of Congress who were loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law certified the Electoral College vote of an open, honest, and fair election that had been certified by all 50 states. A vote that clearly acknowledged Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the winners of the 2020 Presidential Election.

last few years. I would not be surprised if he is connected world-wide and responsible for the nationalistic trend in many European countries. I also think those connections will involve members of very wealthy families who help fund these insurrectionist attempts in multiple countries.
I sincerely hope the Commission explores this as it has been reported on, but definitely not much.
