Nothin’ fancy today — no eye-catching picture, no snappy pun in the headline. Just a quick note about something obvious (to me, anyway) that wasn’t included in an otherwise perfectly presented case.
I was surprised yesterday that there was no mention by the impeachment managers of 45**’s hinky post-election personnel moves at the Pentagon. DC is in a unique situation where the national Guard is concerned, having no Governor to call for them — there’s more Pentagon involvement in the decision to send the Guard into DC than into a “real” state (for lack of a better description,) and Drumpf made sure that those involved in any such decision were “his” guys. I saw one report that said that Michael Flynn’s brother, Gen. Charles Flynn, was involved in the denying the initial requests for Guard backup to the Capitol.
If the impeachment managers could convince their poll of jurors/victims that the delayed guard response, thus the length of the siege, were just another part of the evil plans of the would-be king (from Queens!) we might be able to peel off a few more votes to remove & disqualify the bastard. Not only did he do nothing while it was happening, he took steps beforehand to make sure that the cavalry wouldn’t show!
