“History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” — Mark Twain.
The lack of an official White House notation of any calls placed to or by Trump for 457 minutes — from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. — on Jan. 6, 2021 means there is no record of the calls made by Trump as his supporters descended on the U.S. Capitol, battled overwhelmed police and forcibly entered the building, prompting lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence to flee for safety.
The 11 pages of records — which consist of the president's official daily diary and the White House switchboard call log — were turned over by the National Archives earlier this year to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.
The records show that Trump was active on the phone for part of the day, documenting conversations that he had with at least eight people in the morning and 11 people that evening. The gap also stands in stark contrast to the extensive public reporting about phone conversations he had with allies during the attack.

The Supreme Court ruled — in an 8-1 decision — that these White House records had to be turned over to the 1-6 Select Committee. No more frivolous lawsuits allowed. Last stop. End of the line.
So it’s become obvious that, not only does the Big Loser think he is above the Law — he thinks he is above the SCOTUS too.

I’m old enough to remember when an 18 minute deletion of White House evidence brought down a Presidency. Now a similar 457 minute deletion of White House evidence — in the midst of carrying out a coup against the very idea of America — and the National Press barely shrugs.
Seen it, done it all before, I guess. Where’s the national outrage?
Which is more of a Cover-up of crime?
An 18 minute deletion, or a 457 minute deletion of evidence …

Here is a commentator who still has his sense of outrage intact … if we need any reminders, of what’s really at stake …

Where in the world is AG Garland, on this super important matter? Very good questions indeed.
Covering-up an attempted coup, and inciting an actual insurrection against the peaceful transfer of power, against a duly-held and 50 State-certified Election — must certainly be as important as, if not A HUNDRED TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN — the covering up of a petty burglary to steal your political opponent’s personal records.
Hmmm, where have we heard that motif before … ?
Putin if you’re listening, I hope you can get to the bottom of those 30,000 emails?
Oh yeah while you’re at it, can you get me some dirt on this guy named Hunter too?
In between all those hospital and apartment building bombing runs, that is.

Psst! Merrick Garland, if you’re listening … could you do us all a favor, though?
Before Putin’s Pal actually gets away with it, the next time around.
Just asking for a few friends … about 81,268,924 of them.
