New episode of @PostVideo series The Flip:

After the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, some Republican senators said that the legal system — and not impeachment — should be used to consider Donald Trump's actions.

Now, those same senators are criticizing the legal system.
Mitch McConnell

Feb. 13, 2021: "We have a criminal justice system in this country ... former presidents are not immune."

July 19, 2023: "I'm not going to start critiquing the various candidates for president."

John Cornyn

Feb. 13, 2021: "The Constitution makes legal offenses committed while in office subject to investigation and prosecution after a president is no longer in office."

Aug. 4, 2023: "The Biden Justice Dept [indicting] their principal opponent"

Marco Rubio

Feb. 4, 2021: "The president's a private citizen now. ... He's accountable to the criminal justice system."

Aug. 3, 2023: "Apparently it is now a crime to make statements challenging election results"

Trump impeachment attorney Bruce Castor on Feb. 13, 2021:

"A former president is subject to criminal sanction after his presidency."

From 2019 to 2021, 183 current members of Congress reported a trade of a stock or another financial asset by themselves or an immediate family member.

More than half of them sat on committees that potentially gave them insight into those reported trades.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Pete Aguilar on potential stock trading ban:

"Supporting increased accountability and transparency is something that we all stand behind. Making sure that we are held to the highest standard is exactly what the Democratic Caucus stands for."
Pelosi on stock trading limits in Congress:

12/15/21: "We are a free market economy, they should be able to participate”

1/20: “I do come down always in favor of trusting our members"

2/9: “If that’s what the members want…then that’s what we will do"

Washington Post:

"Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according to people familiar with the investigation."

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
“Investigators had been concerned about material from what the government calls ‘special access programs,’ a designation even more classified than ‘top secret’ that is typically reserved for extremely sensitive operations carried out by the US abroad.” nytimes.com/2022/08/11/us/…
INGRAHAM: There were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues?

BOBB: I don't believe there were.

INGRAHAM: Do you know for a fact?

BOBB: I have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there.

New @thefix mashup:

The Biden administration’s many wrong predictions about Afghanistan

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on April 18:

“No one, starting with the Taliban, has an interest in going back to a civil war … if they start something up again, they’re going to be in a long war.”

Special envoy for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad on May 18:

“The statements that the forces will disintegrate and the Talibs will take over in short order are mistaken. The real choices the Afghans will face is between a long war and negotiated settlement”

New @thefix mashup:

Under Trump, Republicans touted the coronavirus vaccines.

Now, under Biden, they’re questioning them.

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Ron Johnson

Dec. 13, 2020: “President Trump deserves a lot of credit [for helping produce the vaccines]”

June 28, 2021: “Just because the vaccine is generally safe, doesn’t mean that it's 100% safe.”

Rand Paul

Nov. 19, 2020: “I’ve been a big proponent of releasing it [the vaccines] early”

Dec. 7, 2020: “To government officials…let’s get the vaccine out as soon as we can.”

June 24, 2021: “One dose may be enough, but also maybe zero doses is enough”

BARTIROMO: It may very well be that Kevin McCarthy is called to testify under oath. Do you want to tell us what took place on that phone call?

TRUMP: No, I don’t have to, because Kevin will speak and I’m sure Kevin will be, you know, very good from that standpoint.
BREAKING

House Jan. 6 committee asks Kevin McCarthy for information about communications with Trump, Mark Meadows

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

KEVIN MCCARTHY: “It is with neither regret nor satisfaction that I have concluded to not participate with this select committee’s abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward.” republicanleader.house.gov/leader-mccarth…
