(1) My thought on this development.

There is a history of Trump or his associates intentionally allowing notes to be photographed by media. There is also a history of them doing it unintentionally.

For now, I'll assume these notes were written by Lindell, not Trump.

(2) Thoughts*. I meant to say these are my thoughts on it. I can never do justice to a topic like this in one tweet.

The info we can see in the photo of the notes is obviously incomplete, but there's enough that points to some of the batshit insane ideas of some associates.

(3) The followers of the batshit insane associates tend to believe that on J20 Trump will somehow magically make it all better by using the military, and making high profile arrests.

I'm here to tell you that most MAGA folk DO NOT believe this garbage. They hate the Qanon crap.

(4) Personally I go one step further and criticize Trump for enabling, condoning, allowing, and possibly endorsing some of the lawlessness we've seen this month.

That "possibly" is getting closer to "probably" each day. I try to wait for this pesky thing called evidence.

(5) I've already seen a lot of evidence that supports my current view. And the absence of certain things, such as an appropriately worded live TV statement by Trump within one hour of him knowing about aspects of the Capitol riot as soon as his speech finished at 2.11pm.

(6) I spent the last 4.5 years hearing President Trump speak about the USA being a nation of laws. On almost every policy issue, the delineation between lawful and unlawful behavior was central to understanding the work he did for the country.

eg legal vs illegal immigration.

(7) Trump loves legal immigration. Government decides who to let in, why, and how many at a time.

Immigration hardliners who want ALL immigration stopped are idiots who don't live in the real world. They're also usually racist.

I have defended his legal immigration policies.

(8) If I believed that policies like those were not incompliance with the law, I wouldn't have supported them.

In December 2020 I saw a series of tweets and retweets by Trump that were inching right up to the edge of what I could support, in terms of promoting the march on 1/6.

(9) I spoke up several times on Twitter with my predictions of what would happen if the march went ahead, esp with so much support by Trump.

The riot didn't surprise me. The security failures did. Because IMO Trump had never LIHOP (let it happen on purpose) like that before.

(10) Attempts to sway me by saying Trump had no power to affect the security arrangements that day don't work.

He sure did. Every planned protest in DC has security planning input from the many federal and local controlled LE agencies, including DHS, DoD, USSS, & the WH.

(11) Too many folk are believing the ridiculous claims made by the now-fired Chief of the USCP about who asked which agency for help and who denied that and when.

It's RIDICULOUS.

There is NO WAY that Trump didn't know what was going on.

(12) That means Trump promoted a march that even my dog could figure out was going to become a riot AND that he failed in his sworn duty of protecting American lives by ordering his resources to at least put a decent perimeter AROUND the Capitol. That's federal land.

(13) Oh and don't start with the excuses that the killer of Officer Brian Sicknick didn't know or intend that one of the cops he assaulted could die from it.

Just... ugh... get real.

Some info:

(14) IMHO, the USCP deliberately distorted the initial news of his death by omitting key facts. He'd been struck in the head with a fire extinguisher; obv. a very serious form of assault.

This gave deniers time to boost a theory that, somehow, the assailant hit him by accident.

(15) Back to Mike Lindell's notes that appear in the photo.

Opponents of Trump are rightly, IMO, worried about what he might do in his remaining days in office. They know he promoted the march despite the obvious risks & he didn't do enough about security (within his powers.)

(16) I think it's high time for Trump to clearly and fully denounce those of his associates who helped him get off track so much that his inaction contributed to events that took the life of an innocent LEO.

IDK much about Lindell's part but there's others, for example:

(17) The first of the images above is Trump retweeting Lin Wood on 12/14/20 when Wood claimed Gov Brian Kemp would go to jail. A sitting POTUS shouldn't RT things like that. Period.

It was well known by that stage what Wood was up to.

Powell is still in Trump's circle, too.

(18) There's prob 20 names I could give you rn of people of dubious character still in frequent contact with POTUS by one or two degrees. (And to the those who say Trump is of dubious character... you cried wolf & no one listens now.)

We can all agree on Lin Wood, right?

(19) I'm not going to list those names here bc I already get enough hate mail for daring to courteously and reasonably hold Trump to the same standard as others.

No human deserves anyone's unconditional approval, especially not a POTUS.

I always said if he drops the ball...

(20) That I would reconsider my support. Others are reluctant to condemn the actions and omissions that I am condemning.

That's not my problem. I can only speak for myself.

Here's a longer thread about my current views about Trump:

(21) If there wasn't a patriotic, law abiding, experienced leader like Mike Pence monitoring what happens in the WH in the next 5 days, I might be worried about the crazy people around Trump.

The Constitution has the right safety measures. Let's hope they're not needed.
