Kind of wrote this in a hurry, so forgive mistakes. Well today all the stars aligned to form a hat trick or triple threat of bad news for the Trumpster.
- Supreme Court Rejects His Request to override the 11th circuit over the Mar-a-Lago Docs.
- Jan 6 Committee Subpoenas TFG for documents and testimony.
- TFG, who launched a Defense to the E. Jean Carroll Defamation Lawsuit based on acting in the scope of his duties when he denied the allegations, including when he dismissed his accuser as “not my type, as a Federal employee, wrote a statement in response to a ruling that he must testify; where he committed the same offense.
Trump doubled down on the comment in his statement Wednesday, saying: “And, while I am not supposed to say it, I will. This woman is not my type!
While the latter happened yesterday, I’m saying he most likely didn’t know that he blew his “defense” at the time and probably found out from the overwhelming legal analysis of the enormity of his blunder. Of course, now he is a private citizen, he lost any protection if he ever had it as President. Open mouth, insert foot.
Lots of schadenfreude to go around!
More juicy dirt. This is Significant. Video testimony of Cassidy Hutchison hearing TFG, after losing his final last gasp hope after the Supreme Court ruled against him on a key case about the 2020 election, “this is embarrassing,” and “I don’t want people to know that we lost”.
Several other juicy revelations I’ll leave for others to diary but here’s a short summary.
- Testimony that Trump ordered immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan and Somalia vindicating in some sense it was going to be a disaster immediately, on any accelerated schedule, and demonstrated Trump knew he lost because why order this to be implemented before you left office unless you knew you were leaving office?
- In today’s J6C hearing, video of Democratic Party leaders, Pelosi and Hoyer, taking charge, contacting governors, the Acting USAG, VP Pence, VP Elect Harris, working with McConnell and others in an American yet alone bipartisan fashion while the dumpster did NOTHING. Also kind of eliminates the Republican talking point that Nancy did nothing during the insurrection but could have ordered up the National Guard (untrue).
- Secret Service and FBI were shown to be negligent in not acting on numerous warnings based on their own and other agency’s’ intelligence. More to come on this I’m sure.
