Today’s take aways from 1/6 hearing: Barr said Trump was “detached from reality” after the election. That he never had any interest in the facts. There was two teams in the White House, “Team Normal” according to Stepien (how normal could they be if they worked for Donald?)
Versus “Team Rudy”- that’s where the bs ballot harvesting, voting machine tampering were hoisted up the flagpole, where they were all shot down in the courts. Stepien said “I didn’t mind being characterized as being part of Team Normal”
On Election night, at the White House, Stepien told Trump to wait to declare victory after Fox called Arizona for Biden, which he waited till 2am to falsely boast of winning. Remember that Jared called Murdoch livid. thedailybeast.com/jared-kushner-…
Chris Stirewalt, the Fox News political editor who was fired after making the on-air call for Arizona (apparently Murdoch did respond to Trump’s outrage), testified there was “zero” chance that Trump won the state. Voter manipulation was what Trump saw but that wasn’t the truth.
Trump’s “Election Defense Fund” was more bs. He pushed those baseless fraud claims, monetized for millions flowing in from his deluded donors. The committee found no such fund existed. Instead, some of it went into a PAC that distributed the money willy nilly.
For example: Meadows got a million dollars for his “charitable foundation” and Stephen Miller, aka #SatansSnotRag got another million dollars for a political group he set up. Remember Miller sued the Biden Administration on behalf of white farmers? nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
