The GOP would have gotten this right. This would have been their day to stand in the chamber en masse and announce Trump was being officially asked to testify and blah blah blah histrionics.

Why Did Mark Meadows Register to Vote at an Address Where He Did Not Reside?
In September, 2020, Donald Trump’s then chief of staff claimed to live in a mobile home in North Carolina.

Ended up listening to most of the testimony today.....lots of stuff that was confirmed from reports months ago, really maybe the most damning day of this stuff so far. Will it lead to anything? Time will tell.
The one thing that MIGHT is that Cheney stated at the end of the hearing today that Trump directly called an upcoming person who is set to testify, as an attempt to coerce in some fashion. The person in question immediately contacted their law team who then contacted the committee. Apparently that will be sent to DOJ for prosecution. Depending what was said (and this appeared to be via a voicemail message as the person never answered Trumps call) this could lead to something. Maaaaybe (and hopefully)

Steve Bannon found guilty of criminal contempt of Congress
The ex-White House strategist and adviser to former President Donald Trump was found guilty by a jury Friday on two counts of criminal contempt for refusing to appear before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.
He might end up spending a month or a year in jail, which is...better than nothing I guess?
Someone who has been paying more attention than me: are they gonna call Trump to testify? Unless he wants to be hit with contempt, he'd have to testify (assuming immunity or he would just take the 5th) but if he takes the stand, he will certainly be caught in a lie or lies. It's basically win-win.

“You Will Go To Your Grave As A Traitor”: How One Jan. 6 Participant Cooperated With The FBI
The lengths to which right-wing influencer Brandon Straka cooperated with the FBI were only revealed in court documents that were apparently released to the media by accident.
www.buzzfeednews.com
Straka is an interesting figure. Along with Ali Alexander and Scott Presler, he was a huge part of the "stop the steal" movement. Along with Presler, he's also a key figure in the "gays for Trump" movement. Anyway, Straka just ratted out some people, which include Presler and Alexander (the latter being the key figure behind "stop the steal" and possibly Jan 6th)
I doubt it will happen. I concluded before he lost the presidency that Trump and his family will never face any consequences for their actions. At the very, least, I'd like to see someone like Stone or Bannon in jail, but Trump or DeSantis will just pardon them if they become president (that or Trump throws them under the bus because he thinks it will save his ass)

I'm not a conspiracy/IT'S RUSSIA, FAULT but everything about #WalkAway seems kind of fishy to me. Look I do realize there are people that switched from Obama to Trump or even Hilary to Trump but anytime, "An ex bleeding heart liberal turned proud conservative" is interviewed in the media, my grifter alarms go off.“You Will Go To Your Grave As A Traitor”: How One Jan. 6 Participant Cooperated With The FBI

Straka actually ended up in the capital and apparently was once heard saying the Qanon* slogan at a rally, so I think he probably started this as a grift but ended up believing all of it.
*speaking of Q-I think Jim Watkins has been questioned, but I’m shocked his son Ron hasn’t. If you saw the HBO documentary “Q: Into the Storm”, it ends heavily implying he actually might be Q (or at least is one of the people behind it), and he and his dad are in the US right now…

I thought it was universally accepted (well universally accepted amongst people who aren't into Q) that Jim & Ron Watkins were Q? Not an allegation
People can go a long, long way with a grift. I mean, look at their hero. Trump turned a power play over him being pissy over getting roasted by Obama and Gwen Stefani being paid more than him into the failed insurrection discussed ITT!

This tweet actually undersells. It's the first time in 150+ years! Last time was right after The Civil War.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has phone seized by FBI at fast-food outlet
Prominent proponent of Donald Trump’s stolen election lie says he was questioned about Colorado electoral official Tina Peters

Conservative media is going batshit over that one lol but when it happens to regular people because of actual police overreach they celebrate it

Its a weird thing since conservatives are all up in arms over it, thinking they took his phone just because he was an election denier, but it really wasnt about that. He committed a crime by releasing a hard drive that had software that (now coincidentally) others could potentially manipulate to then alter voting data in the future. It's like these blind GOPers either forget that point or completely sideskirt it and just keep doing the "omg he's targeted unfairly" argument.
Also, in another weird twist locally (I'm from the city that Lindell got busted at the Hardees), the local paper interviewed the manager of Hardees who claimed that in neither location here did they hear from other staff or employees that this even happened. To take it a step further, there's been some conjecture if Lindell was actually "hunting" like he said he was in Iowa since their season isn't starting til October 1. My heads spinning.....

What's even funnier is when pundits were saying "If this happens to Trump, it could happen to you" when the FBI usually targets regular people. If anything, a billionaire getting his McMansion raided is something they almost never do.

Eep. It's going to be an interesting midterm election.
