"A mysterious political action committee once funded by conservative millionaire Robert Mercer promoted both the rally featuring President Donald Trump and the ensuing march on Capitol Hill that led to a deadly riot last week.” cnbc.com/2021/01/11/cap…
In a video taped before pro-Trump protests turned into a riot, the man who has led similar protests nationwide singles out Arizona GOP Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs for helping make Wednesday’s pro-Trump gathering possible.

Biggs has denied this.

"The executive director of the Republican Attorneys General Association has resigned amid backlash over a decision to send out robocalls urging people to march to the U.S. Capitol.” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…
The felon who organized the “Stop the Steal” movement was labeled a “true patriot” by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) on Nov. 6 and the two both spoke at a “Stop the Steal” rally in Phoenix on Dec. 19.

At that event, Biggs called him a “friend” and “hero."

Many of the rallies that preceded the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were organized and promoted by groups including:

-Republican Attorneys General Association
-Turning Point Action
-Tea Party Patriots
-Council for National Policy

washingtonpost.com/investigations…
After the Jan. 6 rally that led to the deadly Capitol riot, the Trump campaign said it “did not organize, operate or finance” the event.

An AP review shows at least 3 Trump campaign aides helped organize it:

-Megan Powers
-Caroline Wren
-Maggie Mulvaney

A Washington Post review found that Proud Boys and other fringe groups raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for body armor, weapons, travel expenses, medical costs and legal funds for the Jan. 6 rally via the Christian fundraising website GiveSendGo. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

New episode of @PostVideo series The Flip:

After the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, some Republican senators said that the legal system — and not impeachment — should be used to consider Donald Trump's actions.

Now, those same senators are criticizing the legal system.
Mitch McConnell

Feb. 13, 2021: "We have a criminal justice system in this country ... former presidents are not immune."

July 19, 2023: "I'm not going to start critiquing the various candidates for president."

John Cornyn

Feb. 13, 2021: "The Constitution makes legal offenses committed while in office subject to investigation and prosecution after a president is no longer in office."

Aug. 4, 2023: "The Biden Justice Dept [indicting] their principal opponent"

From 2019 to 2021, 183 current members of Congress reported a trade of a stock or another financial asset by themselves or an immediate family member.

More than half of them sat on committees that potentially gave them insight into those reported trades.

House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Pete Aguilar on potential stock trading ban:

"Supporting increased accountability and transparency is something that we all stand behind. Making sure that we are held to the highest standard is exactly what the Democratic Caucus stands for."
Pelosi on stock trading limits in Congress:

12/15/21: "We are a free market economy, they should be able to participate”

1/20: “I do come down always in favor of trusting our members"

2/9: “If that’s what the members want…then that’s what we will do"

Washington Post:

"Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according to people familiar with the investigation."

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
“Investigators had been concerned about material from what the government calls ‘special access programs,’ a designation even more classified than ‘top secret’ that is typically reserved for extremely sensitive operations carried out by the US abroad.” nytimes.com/2022/08/11/us/…
INGRAHAM: There were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues?

BOBB: I don't believe there were.

INGRAHAM: Do you know for a fact?

BOBB: I have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there.

New @thefix mashup:

The Biden administration’s many wrong predictions about Afghanistan

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on April 18:

“No one, starting with the Taliban, has an interest in going back to a civil war … if they start something up again, they’re going to be in a long war.”

Special envoy for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad on May 18:

“The statements that the forces will disintegrate and the Talibs will take over in short order are mistaken. The real choices the Afghans will face is between a long war and negotiated settlement”

New @thefix mashup:

Under Trump, Republicans touted the coronavirus vaccines.

Now, under Biden, they’re questioning them.

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Ron Johnson

Dec. 13, 2020: “President Trump deserves a lot of credit [for helping produce the vaccines]”

June 28, 2021: “Just because the vaccine is generally safe, doesn’t mean that it's 100% safe.”

Rand Paul

Nov. 19, 2020: “I’ve been a big proponent of releasing it [the vaccines] early”

Dec. 7, 2020: “To government officials…let’s get the vaccine out as soon as we can.”

June 24, 2021: “One dose may be enough, but also maybe zero doses is enough”
