The only reason Rand Paul is going after Dr. Fauci with what he knows is a lie—one that endangers Fauci and increases vaccine hesitancy nationwide—is because *he* knows, and *we* know, and the whole *world* knows that Paul's boss, Trump, killed hundreds of thousands with his lies
If Trump's lies about the election and the insurrection of January 6 weren't already the "Big Lie," his thousands of COVID-19 lies—which caused *exponentially* more death than his ongoing insurgency—would now be referred to as the "Big Lie," and Paul would be one of the Big Liars
I don't know when—it might be 5, 15, or 50 years from now—academics will study how many deaths can rightly be attributed to Trump's acts and omissions since 2015, and I've no doubt the figure will be in the 6 figures, with the only question being whether it'll be higher than that
Trump will be spoken of—for as long as there's an America—as among the most vile humans ever to be a citizen of this country, and if you doubt that you haven't read enough books/articles about what this man has done to America since he slithered wetly from his black tower in 2015
I'm sorry to be so blunt but as I read about the Delta variant being twice as contagious as the 2020 virus and about <25% of the unvaccinated being willing to *ever* be vaccinated and about Fauci saying we'll now be in a pandemic for a "considerable amount" of time I get SO ANGRY
One man—just *one man*—is destroying an incredible nation in plain sight, and the wheels of justice are moving so unbelievably slow that it's impossible to know how many more innocents will die before he faces the proper legal accountability for his actions via the justice system
And today I found out that an unrepentant insurrectionist is running in 2022 to represent my Congressional district, and in her announcement said she hopes that Trump runs in 2024 (so that he can urinate all over our lives for his pleasure for *another* four years)
Just SO ANGRY

(THREAD) A TRUE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON JANUARY 6
1⃣ PELOSI names the members of the Committee, which include Rep. Liz CHENEY (R-WY).
Q: Is the Committee bipartisan?
A: ✅.
Q: How many Republicans are on the Committee?
A: 1⃣.
2⃣ PELOSI contacts House Minority Leader Kevin MCCARTHY (R-CA) to inform him that she has accepted the majority of his GOP submissions to the Committee.
Q: Is the Committee bipartisan?
A: ✅.
Q: How many Republicans are on the Committee?
A: 4⃣.
3⃣ Because Nancy PELOSI had rejected two of the Committee proposals made by MCCARTHY—in both instances because MCCARTHY wanted men on the Committee *who are witnesses in the case the Committee is investigating*—MCCARTHY ordered 3⃣ of the 4⃣ Republicans on the Committee to resign.
I don't think CNN or other cable networks should run insurrectionist press conferences anymore. Right now my TV shows at least 2 Trump co-conspirators being given a stage to say that the only people that need to be investigated over the GOP-incited January 6 attack are Democrats.
In a serious country, it's not "news" when thousands of major-media reports establish that an armed insurrection was coordinated by Republicans and then two Republicans implicated in those reports call a presser to demand a probe of their political opponents.
That's just lunacy.
McCarthy, Jordan, and the rest of the insurrectionists have made clear time and time again that the phrase "we need to find out why we were so ill-prepared for January 6" is code for their conspiracy theory that Pelosi and Bowser conspired with the USCP to "let" January 6 happen.
(🔐) NEW at PROOF: An Updated List of Trumpworld Figures Who Have Been Criminally Investigated or Referred, Impeached, Arrested, or Convicted, As Well As Those Who Are Presently Fugitives From Justice
(NOTE) The list isn't just alphabetized and divided into more than a dozen categories, it also indicates which individuals received pardons from Trump and which sought his intervention in their cases. The list will continue to be updated as more Trumpworld figures are arrested.
(NOTE2) PROOF readers are the absolute best. They already caught two names I missed. The list is now well over 70. Most articles you find on major media—I don't know why—poop out at 5 to 8. That's a tragedy. This new PROOF list is likely to surpass 100 as I continue work on it.
Barrack is so close to Trump that—as I wrote about in the Proof trilogy—not only is he responsible for Kremlin agent Manafort being on Trump's campaign, but he linked Trump's campaign to the Emirati agent who helped the UAE interfere in 2016.
In fact, he's *so* close to Trump...
...that during the 2016-17 presidential transition, when Trump's inner circle was committing crimes with foreign actors and sealing its long course of collusion with several of them, much of the most sensitive work was actually done from Barrack's office, rather than Trump Tower.
(PS) Per prior NBC reporting, "Federal District Court Judge Randolph Moss said the range under federal guidelines [after the feds dropped 4 of 5 felony charges to enable this plea] would be between one and two years in prison."
So the defendant got 66.6% of the minimum sentence.
(PS2) I've no doubt that bases were presented to justify a score adjustment and downward departure, but it certainly doesn't look great when a judge announces an anticipated range and then severely undercuts it after the feds dropped 4 of 5 felonies to get the case to this point.
Jim Jordan is a witness in the January 6 probe due to his presence at a planning meeting for January 6 on December 21 at the White House—and his possible presence in one of the Trump war rooms pre-January 6. He should be blocked from the Committee due to his conflict of interest.
This isn't a matter of Jordan being a Trumpist or an insurrectionist. Obviously, *everyone* McCarthy picked is an insurrectionist to some degree or another, as they're loyal to an insurrectionist party.
No—this is about Jordan being a *witness*. He can't also be an investigator.
If the Democrats permit Jordan on this Committee not only will it make it impossible to call him as a witness but he will *immediately* leak any private conversations to all of the witnesses in the case linked to Trump—as well as Trump himself. He threatens the entire enterprise.
