1. Link to criminal complaint filed in DC against two individuals accused of assault on Officer Sicknick. They are looking a serious time. Stacked it's over 60 years. I expect there will be an indictment soon. It could be already handed down and sealed. wboy.com/wp-content/upl…
2. One count that I don't recall previously is 18 USC 372 "Conspiracy to injure an Officer." It's a felony that carries up to six years in prison. This may be a charge that can drop on people like Trump, Meadows, Flynn, Stone, Bannon and the members of Congress who incited the
3. attack. It would require evidence of:
a. Agreement;
b. to prevent by force intimidation or force;
c. any person holding office under US;
d. from performing thier duties.
I think they can round up at least eight @SenateGOP and over 100 @HouseGOP under it and hold them.
4. The proof of the agreement will likely come from the emails, DM's and texts that @FBIWFO is almost certainly in possession of with the several hundred Stored Communications Act orders that have been obtained since January 6 in DC.
5. IMO Congress is not immune and, in fact, the Constitution makes clear that they can be charged. If we want to make sure this never happens again these conspirators must pay a high price for treason.
1. Let's make is simple: Any company that funds the war on the right to vote should be economically destroyed along with its major shareholders, officers, directors & lenders. Boycott them into liquidating bankruptcies. @USChamber is waking up to the coming boycott Armageddon.
2. Once the donations are seen as a road to Chapter 7, the Sarbanes-Oxley rules will require that the companies act to address the actions of the board, or the audit committee is on the hook. Use the securities laws to destroy the racists in corporate America. @CNBC@jimcramer
3 The GQP is functionally part of the KKK. While it advances the war on voting rights, any money going to the GQP should be considered money intended to take away the right to vote. Expose the large donors. Make their economic activity the subject of constant transparency.
1. My late brother John was the first prosecutor to obtain a conviction of a white police officer for killing a black citizen in Miami Dade county Fl. Janet Reno went from having machine gun nests around the building to walking in a parade in Overtown during her campaign.
2. The big immigration nightmare during Clinton was the Haitian boat refugees. Janet gave that job to John who was committed to justice but that meant he enforced the law. A racist can never deal with imigration.
3. I was never a fan of @DHSgov. I think @TheJusticeDept is better suited to deal with complex issues around immigration than Homeland Security that tends to make it a law enforcement problem rather than a justice and human rights issue.
1. On the anniversary of the Syrian uprising a reminder that the UN sponsored Geneva Process requires free and fair elections that are likely to result in Assad's minority Baathist Party's electoral defeat. When that happens, Assad will cease to hold any lawful claim to power.
2. The flood of foreign jihadists sponsored by external forces has to be addressed. Sunni areas that have suffered under the minority dictatorship of the Assad regime will hopefully accept that there is no future for the jihadists in Syria. The world should commit to support
3. a democratic, free, secular, and equal Syria under a new constitution that recognizes that local self-rule is the key to stability in diverse nations. To achieve that goal, all Syrian voiced must be heard in the planning of their nation's future.
1. From the European Parliament 11 March 2021 Resolution:
"Calls on Turkey to withdraw its troops from Northern Syria which it is illegally occupying outside of any UN mandate; condemns Turkey’s illegal transfers of Kurdish Syrians from europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…
2. occupied Northern Syria to Turkey for detention and prosecution in violation of Turkey’s international obligations under the Geneva Conventions; urges that all Syrian detainees who have been transferred to Turkey be immediately repatriated to the occupied territories in Syria;
3. is worried that Turkey’s ongoing displacements could amount to ethnic cleansing against the Syrian Kurdish population; stresses that Turkey’s illegal invasion and occupation has jeopardised peace in Syria, the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean; firmly condemns
1. We dealt with fundamental flaws in the economy that may help the commercial real estate market, but I don't think it will fix it. When leases come up for renegotiation RITs and other commercial landlords will be taking major haircuts. Much of their risk is on commercial
2. lenders. Eventually there may be a flood of failures. We bulldozed homes in the 2008 crash that could have gone to families to allow them an entry into home ownership. If we consider helping the real estate industry, make sure it involves making more affordable housing.
3. We think this pandemic will just go away and we can go back to life as it was before the pandemic. I can't imagine with the number of mutants the Trump and GQP failure has caused that we will ever be totally past it.
1. Here are my posts starting two days before the Trump insurrection. None of this was a surprise. And IMO they had already committed felonies before the riot started.
