“Is that what you thought when you looked at the mob ransacking the Capitol, destroying property, literally defecating in the hallways, rifling through the desks of senators and representatives, hunting down members of Congress?” #DarthCheneyInTheHouse. nytimes.com/live/2022/01/0…
In the alternate universe of riots against governments. Putin has fabulous and poignant timing. Since the National Guard were blocked by seditionists, I wonder if Donnie dreamed about using Russians to restore order in DC. This is the new 2022 thing. nytimes.com/live/2022/01/0…
There are two aspect of Trump's failed coup plan that intrigued me. First was the expectation that the left was going to come out to "fight" against his fake mob and the second was that he was going to declare a national emergency because of that violence. Very Putin of him.

George only gets part of it. The FBI is currently engaged in a wide ranging counter espionage investigation that involves Trump insiders, advisors, supporters and more than likely Jared . washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
