tl;dr

in March 2020 *someone* gave illegal orders to intimidate/disperse George Floyd protestors in California with weapons of war

source accurately called the order "something that would happen in Soviet Union" because trump is sniveling Russian-mob property and minions contorted themselves to support his worldview

context: trump was desperate to stay out of prison and shore up fake-strongman bona fides so 2020 kicked off with whacking Soleimani

lordy there are text messages

Soleimani is important context cuz dominionist-nutbags Pence & Pompeo pushed know-nothing trump to assassinate him

garbage-shitposter Politico called Pompeo "trump's shadow SecDef" which is evidence that, yes, myriad cooks were in the kitchen

politico.com/news/2020/01/0…

illegal order against California protestors was stopped but another got through a few months later; remember this?
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

both CA & D.C. National Guard incidents nearly identical Putin-style operations; weird right?

other contributing factors: Garfield Anus has documented seething hatred of California *and* a military fetish

bad combination

pulling back to 33K feet: illegal orders in CA & DC—in addition to killing Soleimani—was early 2020 preamble for eventual Pentagon destruction and installing Kash Patel in like 7 places

which in turn created "precedent" (lack of better term) for 6 Jan violent insurrection

ALL AFOREMENTIONED MISHEGAS might explain why Qpublicans slow-walked Biden's assemblage of DOJ officials

no cops, no problems!

hope AG Garland has stomach for RICO cuz hi there organized crime cc: @HunterJCullen

investigations will be long and arduous but folk *will* be going to prison, trust

feel like a broken record but again: just cuz mob orders failed don't make them less illegal

CODA: how terrible is Kash Patel to run afoul of Gina Haspel's ethics? THIS is trump's diseased, criminal culture right here

CODA 2: with a h/t to @lummoxacillin if the Flynns both Charles & Mike conspired for donald (you'll recall Army lied about Charles repeatedly) it'd explain a lot washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
