As televised hearings start in Congress on 9 June in USA, on the January 6th insurrection, and this is likely to be a major event here on Twitter for probably several weeks, I want to give a primer about this Jan 6th for my non-American followers
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 2/
While the war in Ukraine is biggest geopolitical story now (Putin world's biggest terrorist) for next few weeks a rival story is about attempted elimination of democracy in America. What happened on January 6th. The Congressional hearings about that
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 3/
Jan 6th 2021 was an attempted coup d'etat
Outgoing US President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the election he lost by 7 million votes, through a violent assault on the US Capitol, with some wanting to torture or kill leaders from both parties
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 4/
First off, President Trump KNEW he will lose in his re-election of November 2020 election already in the summer of 2020, when leaders of his OWN PARTY told Trump, Trump will lose in November. This was Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's visit
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 5/
When Trump knew he will lose in November 2020, for the autumn of 2020, Trump invented all sorts of ways to make money out of his supporters, and in various schemes he tried to cash out of being the President that will shortly lose, like Goya Beans
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 6/
In the November 2020 election, Trump lost by a modern-era landslide, by a massive 7 million votes. It was perfectly clear, he had lost. All of his White House including his Attorney General Bill Barr, told Trump, he had lost. Trump knew he had lost
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 7/
But Trump wanted to remain in power. So he collected together some of the sickest & fluffiest nutters he could find, to cook up a plan to steal the election, to overturn it, with a coup d'etat, to make Trump a King instead of elected President
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 8/
Among plotters is Sir Leaky di Mascara aka America's Mayonaise. Certified lunatic & alleged attorney Rudy Giuliani you'll remember for his plots against Ukraine (Trump first impeachment). Rudy ran absurd lawsuits for Trump & lost his law licence
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 9/
What Butt-dial McRudypants did not notice, at Four Seasons Total Treason (parking lot) was that the FBI had Giuliani on legal wire-tap months before Jan 6th, and all of his phone calls to the insurrectionist-terrorists were patiently recorded by FBI
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 10/
Another scumbag is the Girl With The Nixon Tattoo. Unstable volcanic mineral Roger Stone has broken laws for Republicans literally since his criming for Nixon. Roger ran a 'war room' at the Willard Hotel on Jan 6th, coordinating the coup d'etat
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 11/
Among organizers of Jan 6th insurrection, terrorism, torture & public hanging party (what Repulsicans call a 'picnic' to DC) is Russian General Mike Flynn. This American traitor, pal of Putin, was of course pardoned by Trump for his treason
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 12/
Talking of hangings, favorite & front-runner for the vote by all fruit-flies of America, Mike Pence, fiercely loyal Trumpista, was a target (victim) of Jan 6th, when Maganutters chanted 'hang Mike Pence!' & built a gallows for the King of the Flies
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 13/
Among most evil of Repulsicans of Jan 6th is Steve Bannon the mind rapist (his words, not mine). Bannon the brainwasher Europeans might remember for taking Putin assistance and using Cambridge Analytica & Facebook to push Britain into #Brexit

Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 16/

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
