Liz Cheney says Trump appears to have been ‘personally involved in planning’ 6 Jan insurrection

[ThisIsMe]

Oh JFC.

No, they tried to tell the DOJ to do nothing because they thought it was legal. They are trying to hide everything, because they thought it was legal. Trump went and hid instead of marching with them, because he thought it was perfectly legal. Trump incited a violent mob to threaten the lives of Congresspeople because, ya know, who doesn't do that, when attempting something perfectly legal?

Stop embarrassing yourself.

OK, so answer my question then. If they KNEW it was illegal, if they KNEW they had actually lost the election, the entire plan is pointless. The only logical way they could conceive that plan would ever work is if they BELIEVED the election to have been stolen and BELIEVED they had legal standing to do it.

I told you to STFU you rambling idiot. The FBI says NO plot and NO ties to Trump. Period. End of argument. Admitting you REFUSE to read any sources that don’t say what your fantasy demands. Not surprised. This idiot judge made an ass of himself since neither the FBI nor anybody else has denied what Reuters wrote. Reality seems to be calling you a liar.

Not pointless. To please a mentally ill pile of crap.

Regardless of what could have been done with security, it was what it was. So their choice was to stand there in front of a violent mob, smashing windows next to their head and threatening them, or to get out of the way.

"Regardless of what could have been done with security, it was what it was."

Did you really just make that statement, Faun? It's akin to Hillary saying "What difference does it make!" when questioned about her flawed policies in Libya! The fact of the matter is that a protest turned into a riot BECAUSE security was so FUBARED that day! Why did it ever COME to that choice for the Police officers in front of that door? Why did it come to a Capitol officer having to shoot an unarmed protester at point blank range? Why aren't THOSE questions being asked by this committee!

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Trump actually told the protesters he spoke to...to protest peacefully. That's not inciting a riot. That's inciting a peaceful protest! It's the reason this "investigation" is a sham. They're not trying to get to the bottom of why this really happened. They're trying to come up with a crime when none exists.

I'm not excusing anything, but I'm trying to establish that you all seem to think he did all of this, knowing full well that he lost, when it would only make sense for him to do it if he actually thought he had won.

you are excusing DJT’s unconstitutional attempt to deprive millions of Americans of their constitutional right to vote and have their vote count.

You keep saying this, and I keep bringing up the national popular vote compact. When that was created, most in the left defended it, even though it would also have deprived millions of Americans their vote. Did you, like most of the rest of the left, support that?

NEITHER was right, but you appear to only want to condemn one side, when the other side was trying to do, effectively, the same thing.

OK, so it goes back to my question. If he KNEW that he had lost, then he would have known that his plan wouldn't work.

Even if the plan was to try and convince people that he had won, he knows that it would never stand up in court, and he's likely not going to be able to convince enough people to believe him, AND to think that he would be able to hold congress hostage with a small crowd of people. It just doesn't add up for him to try this unless he really believed he had legal standing.

A stupid attempt at a defense at the very least meant for ignorant people, at worst also created by someone who is ignorant.

The FBI was never tasked with investigating anyone but the shit heels in the capitol that day. So to say they found nothing on Trump or his cult priests is like saying a dentist didn't discover your colon cancer.

Trump called for a peaceful protest. Your rather pathetic attempts to twist other things he said to make the case that he called for a violent coup is doomed to failure.

The FBI specifically said that there was no connection between the Trump Administration and the violent protesters. If there WAS they would have found it during their investigation and reported it as such! They didn't!

Ok..ok!! Lol

You guys have convinced me! Trump and crew had full knowledge that he lost the election but decided they didn't like that outcome, so they plotted a plan, that they knew to be illegal, to reverse the election so that Trump could be installed as an illegal president.

To achieve this, they used rhetoric and coordination with the oathkeepers, in hopes to get a small group of people to become violent, attack the capitol with about 2 or 3 flagpoles, in order to take congress hostage and install Trump as president. They did all of this knowing that there would be no legal challenge or blowback from the voters.

That was a great plan and the Trump team actually thought it would work.


I guess I don't know what else to say.

We're talking about what happened, not what could have happened. Those three cops were in a dangerous position so they cleared out. Ashes Targetpractice still attempted to lead a violent mob into the House chamber and had to be put down to prevent the violent mob from following her.

That cop is a hero who saved lives.
