  1. dereliction of duty doesn’t seem like a strong attack. I mean, that’s true of his entire presidency

  2. Every day there’s a new headline proclaiming that Jack Smith has just obtained the smoking gun. He does it every day.

  3. Traitors all. They refuse to tell the 1/6 committee what they new about the insurrection. These people should all go to jail.

  4. > Scavino, who refused to cooperate with the House select committee’s probe on Jan. 6, citing executive privilege, had his claims rejected by a judge last year and was informed he had to comply with a grand jury subpoena. Essential parts of his testimony were disclosed to ABC News.

    None of this is “dramatic new proof” – it’s only just now making it’s way to the news, presumably via leaks.

    This information has been built into Smith’s case since day 1.

  5. The constant headlines are irritating, but I do believe Jack Smith is holding more cards than the general public realizes. He strikes me as someone who knows how to make an airtight case.

  6. are the people who haven’t flipped yet going back and forth between sweating bullets and shitting their pants

    like is Monday sweat bullets day, then Tuesday is shit your pants day

    or do they bunch them together like 3 solid days of sweating and then 3 of shitting then 3 more sweating etc

  7. My concern is that all this is trickling out too slowly.

    Boiling the frog.

    Giving the right wing media machine time to deflect and make excuses.

    By the time it’s actually presented in court many Americans will be indoctrinated on “why it’s not a bit deal” or “why hunters laptop is worse” or whatever else they can throw at the wall.

  8. On which investigation? 🤔

    >Prof: Trump “demonstrated a criminal intent” to collaborate with insurrectionists at “expense of the Constitution”

    Oh that one. I keep losing track.

  9. I’m thrilled that Jack has all this great evidence, but it only matters if there is an actual trial. Any chance of that happening in my lifetime?

  10. > when the ex-president was told about Vice President Mike Pence’s need to be moved to a secure location, Trump responded by saying “So what?” Luna perceived this as an “unexpected willingness” on Trump’s part to expose a longtime loyalist to potential harm.

    “Unexpected” really? Unexpected? Right….

  11. It’s insanely irritating to believe in these types of headlines, then watch as the trial date will likely be delayed and delayed, Trump is elected, and the Republicans shut down the entire investigation and Trump pardons himself.

  12. Isn’t there a worse punishment than ‘some jail’ for traitors?….

  13. >“Indeed, Trump’s angry response to Scavino’s comment to him that there’s smoke coming out of the Capitol in effect was, **‘Let it Burn,’”**

    Let it burn? Let that sink in.

  14. I feel like we get a new headline like this one every other day. It’s becoming oh so tiring.

  15. I’m actually shocked a solid 30% of Americans are going to bat for this shit.

    I can expect maybe 1 out of 10 to be that stupid but this is a Russian level of dumb.

  16. Every single one of them that has been hooking their wagon to the Trump Big Lie needs to be removed from office/disbarred, bec they know the evidence too, and – well, at this point MUST stick to the lie bec they know the outcome… I can’t wait to see who turns on him now lol, this will reality tv show president is certainly giving us a show.

  17. It doesn’t matter how air-tight the evidence is. The die-hard members of MAGA will not believe it.

  18. >House Democrats and other critics have openly accused Trump of failing to do enough that day, with the Democrat-led House select committee accusing Trump of committing “an utter moral failure” and “a clear dereliction of duty.”

    I take issue with ABC’s characterization here. Yes, it was Democrat *led*. But it was a *bipartisan* committee and that’s a pretty important detail, especially for whatever folks are left who are still unsure of what they think went on that day in the White House. It was a bipartisan committee of Congresspeople who issued that report. It was a bipartisan group who investigated and interviewed. It wasn’t one side saying those things, it was both. The fact that the rest of the GOP are too chickenshit to speak up because they’re afraid for their gravy train or safety or both is irrelevant; the committee that made a determination on Trump’s role that day represented both sides.

  19. Perhaps the craziest part of this is the guy providing this account is currently a campaign adviser to Trump. “Very unsettling”, but not unsettling enough to stop working for the guy.

  20. Fuck me, enough teaser trailers already. Nuke this mf’er.

  21. More overwhelming evidence? Go put it with the rest of the overwhelming evidence we’ve been talking about forever with no perceived consequences.

  22. At this point, wouldn’t be surprised if Melania was recording conversations (rants?) the whole time. Thats why she has been scarce, meeting with the DA, and when Don goes to prison the clause in the prenup gives her a 25% annual bonus for “conjugals”. /s

  23. Tump needs to be off the election ballot in all 50 states. Period. That he dares to show up at GOP rallies is reprehensible. He embodies all things unConstitutional.

  24. Is this going to be the new “diabetes cure discovered by university research” and the “new battery technology charges in one tenth the time and lasts ten times longer”? Might as well also announce fusion and super conductivity at room temperature.

    I’m sick of all these announcements. Just jail the fucker or just let us prepare ourselves to the disappointment of eventually him getting away with all this shit

  25. Can we stop discussing this? I hate these articles raising hopes. Let’s get to the trial and discuss as it unfolds. This is all useless

  26. So tired of hearing how great this evidence is. Quit teasing us and frigging put him behind bars already!
