Individuals involved in obstructing J6 investigation: Many.
Tony Ornato needs a very good defense attorney.👇
2. "Again, as with Section 1512(c), the conspiracy under Section 371 appears to have also included other individuals such as Chesebro, Rudolph Giuliani, and Mark Meadows, but this Committee does not attempt to determine all of the participants of the conspiracy..."
3. “Others working with Eastman likely share in Eastman’s culpability. For example, Kenneth Chesebro was a central player in the scheme to submit fake electors ...”
4. “With regard to the Department of Justice, Jeffrey Clark stands out as a participant in the conspiracy...”
5. “The Committee believes sufficient evidence exists for a criminal referral of John Eastman and certain other Trump associates under 18 U.S.C. §1512(c).”
6/6. See my coming analysis @just_security this afternoon.
Hint: How the January 6th committee's NEW evidence enables Special Counsel Smith's criminal investigations.
Stay tuned.

Former top official of the National Guard Major Gen. Randy E. Manner
Listen to this excerpt of it.
- Our Guard is not trained for this
- "Negatively impacts military readiness"
- Being as "political props"
2 "This is ... changing the entire context of the way that the average citizens in these cities are going to start viewing ... our military...
We should not have military on our streets, in our American cities. It is absolutely the way that dictatorships run, not democracies."

Q: "Joint Task Force ... said that all service members deployed will get an initial briefing on the mission and operational environment, and that prepares them. Is that enough?
General Manner: "No, absolutely not. ... This is a very potentially dangerous situation."
"Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida."
So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000.
🧵
2/ Here's the Miami Herald piece that @barryscoopking referenced:
"A footnote in the book says the authors were shown the club’s registry from more than a decade earlier and that Epstein in fact had been a member until October 2007."
@barryscoopking @KevinGHall 3/ Here's from the book by then-Miami Herald journalists @Blaskey_S, @NickNehamas and @jayhweaver and Wall Street Journal's @ceostroff.
2/ Along with the Heat Map is essential analysis by leading expert @thomasjoscelyn.
He explains how the Proud Boys orchestrated January 6th attack and risks of resurgence – especially in the event of pardons that former President Trump has suggested.
1/@jacklgoldsmith wrote a NY Times piece attacking special counsel Jack Smith.
@AWeissmann_ and I are refuting the baseless attack.
Compare:
Goldsmith 2020: Bill Barr has "enormous discretion" to ignore 60 day rule
Goldsmith 2024: "Crucial" for Garland to comply with the rule
2/ On left:
Goldsmith piece, “Jack Smith Owes Us an Explanation”
(He thinks DOJ defied a 60-Day rule in recently filing a brief showing details of alleged Trump crimes, and demands explanation)
On right:
Goldsmith shows no awareness DOJ gave the explanation TWICE.
3/ The DOJ explanation is solid.
Simply put, DOJ’s 60-Day Rule against taking actions before an election DOES NOT APPLY and apparently never has to a case after an indictment has been filed. . At that point, it is an open matter and in the hands of the court.
Trump and Vance's racist smears of Haitians - who are legally present in Springfield, Ohio - has led to bomb threats closing City Hall, schools and a motor vehicles office.
"Wittenberg University announced the cancelation of all events and activities Sunday ... after an email 'threatened a potential shooting,' campus police said in a statement. The threats reportedly targeted Haitians." fox8.com/news/universit…
3/ Trump-Vance racists smears of Haitians continue to have reverberating effect on Springfield:
"Clark State College, based in Springfield, will close all of its campuses and move to remote classes Monday through Friday as a result of two email threats." springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfie…
