Anyone who cannot fathom how Hitler got control of Germany need only look at Trump’s hold on the base of the GOP and the refusal of GOP leaders who know what is happening to call out his criminal conduct. The GOP will destroy America with their Trump love (and fear of his cult-like base) if others don’t rally to prevent it! Thank you WSJ editors for recognizing the situation and speaking out.

It seems Trump’s lawyers are trying to protect his lie that he declassified all the Mar A Largo documents. GOP does not want him to declare until after 11/08 so he needs the lie. He feels (rightly) he won’t be indicted until after the midterms. After the midterms he will declare! As a POTUS candidate he is not only the center of attention but he can claim any indictment is a political act to keep him out of the Oval Office. Running for POTUS is his best defense from going to jail. Who knows, he might convince one or more juror! If he wins…. No. He won’t!

Trump's National Archives (NARA) representative (John Solomon) released a May 10, 2022 letter to make the point that the Biden White House was behind the FBI investigation of his misuse of classified national security information. In fact, the letter shows the exact opposite. The letter also shows that Trump tried to invoke Executive Privilege against his predecessor, Biden. But that Nixonian move was knocked down by the Supreme Court in Nixon v GSA (1977). See the NARA letter int.nyt.com/data/documentt…

To not charge ALL involved in planning, aiding, abetting, and conspiring regarding the 1/6 insurrection, and now covering it up, would be the historical equivalent of ONLY PROSECUTING THE FIVE MEN ARRESTED on 06.17.72 at the DNC’s Watergate offices trying to bug the place. 1/5 It took 928 days to hold ALL the KEY players responsible for Watergate with the convictions of Nixon’s former attorney general, chief-of-staff, and top assistant on 01.01.1975. The 1/6 investigation is early. DOJ will give NO PASSES for the democracy harming crimes of 1/6. 2/5

The statement accompanying Trump’s Christmas pardons shows (1) insiders arranged them, (2) they’re all political, and (3) the underlying conduct is mischaracterized most every instance, particularly Mueller’s prosecutions. Undoubtedly, more will follow. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat… Pam Bondi is responsible for three of these pardons. Was she paid to lobby for them?
