1. I'd love to have a spreadsheet of cash on-hand held by @GOP members. If McConnell is signaling that Koch's ecosystem is shutting off pro-Trump @SenateGOP from funding in this environment, they'd be starved for funds in 2022. That would impact these 18 Senators in running 2022:
3. This is where I stop and ask myself, what would I do if I were McConnell's puppeteer Charles Koch? And then I remembered that Koch is likely culpable starting in the armed astroturfing that also involved violation of the same crimes committed on 1/6.
4. That could mean that Koch has criminal liability going back to May. If Koch were my client, I'd want to cut off his liability for what is coming. If he joined the astroturfing conspiracy that then advanced to become the overthrow conspiracy, a conspiracy that
5. now threatens open warfare, the only way out is a noisy withdrawal. Is forcing his bought-and-paid-for @SenateGOP to convict Trump and remove him Koch's way of withdrawing from the conspiracy? Maybe.
6. Mitch doesn't like people disrespecting him. He told Cruz and Hawley not to do it. All the @SeditiousSeven but Roger Marshall of KS are from states with GOP governors who can give Mitch a certified Koch backed replacement if he gets Schumer & 17 of 18 in the 2022 cycle vote
7. to expel the #SeditiousSix. The seven minus @RogerMarshallMD. So after they toss Trump, Mitch could turn on @HawleyMO @tedcruz @SenHydeSmith @ScottforFlorida @CynthiaMLummis @TTuberville and send them all packing and be able to have a hand in picking their replacements.
8. Mitch may not be willing to take out that many of his caucus, but if he was briefed today on the intercepts linking Cruz and Hawley to the active conspiracy and perhaps even the GRU, he needs them gone immediately and he'd want to be the one to do it.

1. There's a video of Pence chairing a meeting of security heads preparing for the inauguration. Chris Wray gave a calm, detailed description of the threat that he admits FBI is not clear whether all threats are actionable, but he seems to be well aware of the players.
2. This may be bumpy, but IMO it will identify a large percentage of the armed white-supremacist group members in the US and lawfully obtained electronic evidence that can support thousands of convictions. Wray's demeanor does not portray someone who is in over his head.
3. Trumps war on the FBI IMO will motivate the FBI to be professional and thorough and ensure that all members of Trump's Orc army live their remaining days in custody.
Because they are now moving into crimes like treason that carry death, and some have likely affiliated with a

1. This is a warning to the cable industry. Evidence of your industry practices shows you force your subscribers to subsidize a pro-domestic terrorist propaganda organ @FoxNews and its anti-American employees like @seanhannity @TuckerCarlson
2. @IngrahamAngle and @foxandfriends. You must terminate the illegal contracts with @rupertmurdoch and his anti-American Fox News, that unlawfully force customers to pay a subsidy to a pro-domestic terrorist organization media group. Failure to do it should result in lawsuits
3. in every district seeking five-year rebates to every customer, times three under the Sherman Act.

It's a simple theory:

Most cable companies have market power. Because they all practice this violation of law the market power won't be an issue. But because they all practice

1. If you’re making plans for DC on Jan 21, I predict its chances of being sacked by then are about 50-50. #Orcs @maddow @Lawrence @FrankFigliuzzi1 @BeschlossDC
2. Trump's pardoning of monsters was not random. He is building an army of Orcs. Evil, willing to do his bidding. We must prepare to meet them and defend the Capitol. But be assured if you don't remove him, he'll burn DC. @DCPoliceDept @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer
3. You have no idea how outgunned the DC National Guard unit is in the face of Trump's Orc army. We need an airborne division. Nothing short. And that won't happen with Trump in power. Remove him or DC is already lost. @VP @senatemajldr

1. Reason @POTUS Donald Trump must be removed immediately is because he's coordinating another attack, this time with a fully armed force of murderous traitors. @SenateGOP @HouseGOP & seditionists like @laurenboebert @mtgreenee @RepGosar who won't remove him, give aid & comfort
2. to that force. That is a chargeable offense and may be charged if we don't interdict the attack by having @VP become our loyal commander in chief. A reasonable juror could find that the Trump supporters in Congress are acting to advance the success of the coming attack.

1. Federal law contemplates charging members of Congress with Title 18 Chapter 115 disloyalty crimes and the Hiss Act provides for terminating Congressional pensions & benefits. IMO level of support for Trump will be inversely proportionate to the length of service. Just watch.
2. So members like @laurenboebert @mtgreenee and @HawleyMO have less economic motivation to avoid being charged. People like @RepMoBrooks @replouiegohmert may decide to save their pensions. If you look at the #SeditiousSeven @HawleyMO @tedcruz @SenHydeSmith @ScottforFlorida
3. @CynthiaMLummis @RogerMarshallMD @TTuberville only Cruz has any significant seniority. Rest are less than 3 years of service. So Cruz, who may still be able to think like a lawyer, will be viewing his options. He's already looking at a possible ban from office for his conduct

1. Is @FoxNews" giving aid and comfort" to insurrectionists? Can the sponsors, hosts, directors, producers, writers, managers, and directors be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection?
2. "Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be
3. incapable of holding any office under the United States."

What have courts defined to constitute "aid and comfort?" The crime is also part of the treason statute and is addressed in cases of people charged with treason. Words alone can constitute aid and comfort.
