nytimes.com/2021/01/31/us/…
2-"David Schoen, a Georgia-based lawyer who represented the longtime Trump adviser Roger J. Stone Jr., and Bruce Castor, a former district attorney in Pennsylvania, were announced in a news release from Mr. Trump’s office
3-“Notably, Schoen has already been working with the 45th president and other advisers to prepare for the upcoming trial, and both Schoen and Castor agree that this impeachment is unconstitutional — a fact 45 senators voted in agreement with last week,” the news release said.
4-"..Mr. Castor is famous for declining to prosecute the disgraced entertainer Bill Cosby while he was the district attorney in Montgomery County, Pa., in 2005. He also served briefly as Pennsylvania’s acting attorney general.
5-"..Mr. Schoen met with Jeffrey Epstein, who was facing trial on sextrafficking charges, shortly before his death in 2019 to discuss the case. Mr. Schoen has maintained that he believes Mr. Epstein was murdered, despite all official reports that he killed himself while in prison
6-"The news release from Mr. Trump’s office described him as “45th President Donald J. Trump,” as opposed to “former president,” a notable choice given Mr. Trump’s repeated refusal to concede" ~excerpts NYT

Matt Gaetz's 'pocket sized' Wyoming anti-Cheney super spreader rally yesterday:
@ 800 red capped Trumper's 'chaning feverishly'
DJT on speakerphone
Bottom line: if she had to run in '21 'she'd be in serious trouble'
More:
2-"At Harbor Freight Tools, when I uttered the name “Liz Cheney,” an employee behind the cash register hurled a threatening epithet. Then a beefy tattooed supervisor came over mad as hell. His mask hung below his nose when he told me, “I don’t think she spoke for Wyoming.”
3-"At the steakhouse, our comely waitress said “a lot of people are fired up” about Cheney. As a lifelong native of Wyoming, she said Cheney made a grave mistake by not representing the people of her state.

2-“As employees of the U.S. House of Representatives, we don’t have a vote on whether to convict Donald J. Trump for his role in inciting the violent attack at the Capitol, but our Senators do,” they write.
3-"“And for our sake, and the sake of the country, we ask that they vote to convict the former president and bar him from ever holding office again.”

3-"said the department was outmanned and unprepared for the attack. .. Appropriators left the briefing with a number of questions — chiefly, that intelligence agencies had “ample evidence an angry mob would descend on Washington” and they failed to

Per WaPo:
Trump is working behind the scenes to create a MAGA Party
-endorsing Kelli Ward in AZ
-to primary those who voted against him
-& bc he feels the threat will give him leverage over GOP who may vote to convict him
washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2-"In a recorded phone call, Trump offered his “complete and total endorsement” for another term for Arizona state party chairwoman Kelli Ward, a lightning rod who has sparred with the state’s Republican governor, been condemned by the business community and overseen a recent
3-"flight in party registrations. She narrowly won reelection, by a margin of 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent, marking Trump’s first victory in a promised battle to maintain political relevance and influence after losing the 2020 election.

Word today that the reason Biden's Cabinet noms are moving so slowly is bc McConnell is gumming up the works over this filibuster deal he wants Schumer to cut
Mitch won't agree to an organizing res w/o it
Chuck won't do it (he shouldn't)
W/o it GOP still tech run the Committees
1
McConnell's doing it again..
It's not clear what will break this stalemate
But the pressure on both parties is growing
Pelosi told donors last night that she wants to pass relief in 2 wks using budget reconciliation
But she (America) has to wait bc Mitch won't budge
2
And we all know that the second GOP take power back if Mitch wants to, he'll pop that filibuster sky high
Schumer knows it too
But Manchin (him again), Tester & Sinema want to keep it
Harris & 26 other Dems signed a ltr in '17 saying keep it
While AOC & even Obama say dump it

Breaking:
(here we go..)
Per WaPo:
Army 'falsely denied for days' that Michael Flynn's brother Lt. Gen. Charles A. Flynn was in the room for a tense 1/6 phone call during which USCP & D.C. officials pleaded with DOD to dispatch the Nat'l Guard urgently
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2-"The general’s presence during the call — which has not previously been reported — came weeks after his brother publicly suggested that President Donald Trump declare martial law and have the U.S. military oversee a redo of the election.
3-"There is no indication that Charles Flynn shares his brother’s extreme views or discharged his duties at the Pentagon on Jan. 6 in any manner that was influenced by his brother.
