"There was no violence. It was a normal tourist visit. It was so friendly the guards were being hugged and kissed." Unfortunately I am not quoting lunatics but the ex POTUS and a current Congressman.

SO abrasively? right-wing was George W. Bush’s gravel-voiced vice-president, Dick Cheney, that he got the nickname Darth Vader. Out of office he hammed up the part, making public entrances to the Imperial March from Star Wars. He once asked his wife, Lynne, if it annoyed her that people referred to him as Darth Vader. Not at all, she said, ‘it humanises you.’ Cheney’s daughter, Liz, a media-friendly blonde soccer mom and the Republican Representative for Wyoming’s statewide congressional district, has none of her father’s gruffness, but she is just as hawkishly conservative. She opposes Obamacare and gun control, and has described the Democrats as a party of ‘antisemitism, infanticide and socialism’. On certain subjects she is more tendentious than the orthodoxies of the hard right demand: she defends waterboarding and has been reluctant to condemn birtherism. It’s disconcerting to see someone with these views being tarred as a liberal RINO (‘Republican in name only’). Her offence? Disloyalty to Donald Trump – despite voting the Trump line 93 per cent of the time during his presidency. Disgusted at the way he conjured an insurrectionist mob in an attempt to overturn the election result, Cheney supported impeachment efforts and is vice-chair of the congressional investigation into the failed coup. As a result she has lost her leadership role in the House Republican Conference and faces a serious primary challenge in 2022. Along with Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger and the never-Trumpers of the Lincoln Project, Cheney is one of the last standard-bearers of a Republican conservatism grounded in some version of rationality. But it seems likely that she and her kind will be sidelined, if not obliterated, by a movement in thrall to conspiracies: anti-vaxxer, QAnon, birtherism, Biden’s election ‘steal’.

Captain Underpants to the rescue.
Of course no consideration of his own ''exposure'' in Epstein/Maxwell's criming.  Alan Dershowitz lobbied Donald Trump to preemptively pardon Ghislaine Maxwell after speaking to her family Ian Maxwell tells me: “There was one phone call between Dershowitz and a family member” “The generic issue of pardons was touched on” 1/4 |

Today prosecutors met with Trump criminal defense lawyers. Moving along nicely.Georgia DA investigating Trump closer to decision on chargesFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told The Associated Press in an interview that her team is making solid progress. ATLANTA — The prosecutor weighing whether Donald Trump and others committed crimes by trying to pressure Georgia officials to overturn Joe Biden’s presidential election victory said a decision on whether to bring charges could come as early as the first half of this year. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said in an interview with The Associated Press last week that her team is making solid progress, and she’s leaning toward asking for a special grand jury with subpoena power to aid the investigation. “I believe in 2022 a decision will be made in that case,” Willis said. “I certainly think that in the first half of the year that decisions will be made.” But Willis told the AP that she hasn't imposed deadlines on her staff and has urged them to be thorough in their examination. She's assembled a team of fewer than 10 people — lawyers, investigators and a legal assistant — who are focused primarily on this case and can consult outside lawyers with particular expertise in certain areas of law, she said. “We’re going to just get the facts, get the law, be very methodical, very patient and, in some extent, unemotional about this quest for justice,” she more... |

The great man is not the least bit concerned though. Statement following the lawyers meeting.
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of AmericaAll the Democrats want to do is put people in jail. They are vicious, violent, and Radical Left thugs. They are destroying people’s lives, which is the only thing they are good at. They couldn’t get out of Afghanistan without disgracing our Country. The economy and inflation are a disaster. They’re letting thugs and murderers into our Country—their DA’s, AG’s, and Dem Law Enforcement are out of control. This is what happens in communist countries and dictatorships, and they don’t think they’ll be held accountable for rigging the 2020 Presidential Election. The Jan. 6 Unselect Committee is a coverup for what took place on November 3rd, and the people of our Country won’t stand for it.

Old Trumpy is losing the plot. He's going on shows with real journalists.  That's not how you do it, Donny. It never ends well. You know that better than anyone.Former president Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NPR on Tuesday after he was pressed on his baseless claims of election fraud and repeated contention that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him. Trump hung up on “Morning Edition” host Steve Inskeep nine minutes into what NPR said was scheduled to be a 15-minute interview that was broadcast Wednesday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-npr-interview/2022/01/12/a2d0a26e-7397-11ec-bc13-18891499c514_story.html?itid=hp-more-top-stories |

Former GOP Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said Thursday that the
Republican Party was at a "crossroads" following the "dishonorable and
disgraceful end" to former President Donald Trump's presidency.
Ryan, the 2012 Republican nominee for vice president, made the remarks during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. He said that the party was "not going anywhere" if it remained enamored with Trump, while blasting the "yes men" and "second-rate imitations" lining up to win the approval of the former president. Ryan urged Republicans to put their loyalty to "conservative principles" above loyalty to Trump. "Even for our good showing in the House, 2020 left Republicans powerless in Washington," said Ryan. "Even worse, it was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end. So, once again we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads. Here's the reality that we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we're not going anywhere." https://www.newsweek.com/paul-ryan-says-gop-crossroads-after-dishonorable-disgraceful-end-trumps-term-1595683 Only former Republican politicians, and Liz Cheney, tell the truth. |

That was from early last year and Ryan drew a lot of skeptical criticism as he sits on the Board of Fox, part of the problem, not a solution.
Notable he has said and done nothing since. As cowardly as he was as speaker. Ran away because of the rabble he couldn't control as Speaker.
Li Cheney and Adam Kinzinger however are heroes. |

Wonder why Kevin ''I have nothing to hide'' McCarthy. Brooks, Gym Jordan and other congressmen involved in the planning of this are refusing to appear before Committee and McCarthy threatening to close down the investigation if Rs win back the House in November. Oh, might be this from today.
Leader of far-right Oath Keepers militia group arrested over Jan. 6 attack on U.S. CapitolStewart Rhodes charged with seditious conspiracy, accused of setting riot in motionThe Associated Press · Stewart Rhodes, the founder and leader of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group, has been arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, authorities said Thursday. more... Ten other people were also charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the attack, when authorities said members of the extremist group came to Washington, D.C., intent on stopping the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory. These are the first charges of seditious conspiracy that the Justice Department has brought in connection with the attack led by supporters of former president Donald Trump. Rhodes, 56, of Granbury, Texas, and Edward Vallejo, 63, of Phoenix, Ariz., were arrested on Thursday. The others who were charged were already facing criminal charges related to the riot. Rhodes is the highest-ranking member of an extremist group to be arrested in the deadly siege. The arrest of Rhodes and the others is a serious escalation of the accusations against the thousands of rioters who stormed the Capitol. And the charges answer in part a growing chorus of Republicans who have publicly questioned the seriousness of the Jan. 6 insurrection, arguing that since no one had been charged yet with sedition or treason, it could not have been so violent. |

Paul Ryan Lauded For Inspiring Millions Of Young Gutless F#cking Cowards To Take On Leadership RolesWASHINGTON—Noting the former congressman’s deep, unwavering commitment
to shying away from every one of his civic responsibilities, the
Heritage Foundation lauded Paul Ryan Thursday for inspiring millions of
young gutless f#cking cowards to take on leadership roles. “Thank you,
Mr. Ryan, for showing countless milquetoast little weaklings across the
United States that if they want a place in politics, they can have it,”
said Heritage Foundation spokesperson Katherine Primm, adding that she
was grateful so many young candy-ass pushovers had the chance to see
someone just like them not just get elected but also become speaker of
the House. “Before Paul Ryan, you’d never see a spineless coward taking
charge, but now, faint-of-heart boys and girls will finally have the
determination to become leaders and then cower in front of more powerful
people and bend to their will. Before, it was just the brave who
led—but thankfully, that era is behind us forever.”At press time,
thousands of newly inspired chickensh1t Americans had reportedly begun
fundraising for congressional runs in 2020. |

The Tragedy of Paul RyanHe began as a Jack Kemp conservative. He ended as Donald Trump’s man on Capitol Hill. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/04/12/how-donald-trump-upended-paul-ryans-plans-217989/ Paul Ryan came to Congress as a Jack Kemp conservative and will depart as a Donald Trump Republican.
It’s more complicated than that, certainly. History requires nuance and texture. But legacies are reductive by nature. The House speaker announced his retirement Wednesday, closing a messy and mesmerizing chapter in the history of the Republican Party. And for the affable Wisconsin kid who moved to Washington a quarter-century ago, eager to make his mark on fiscal policy, the harsh reality is that he might be remembered more for accommodating the impulses of the 45th president than for crafting a generational overhaul of the tax code. This is a political obituary of Ryan’s own writing. His silence in the face of Trump’s indignities—and his observance of “exquisite presidential leadership,” a line that will live in infamy—would be less remarkable had he not first established himself as one of Congress’ good guys, someone whose sense of principle and decency informed his objections to Trump’s candidacy in the first place. Indeed, the speaker’s habit of turning a blind eye to the president’s behavior is relevant and revelatory because it was not always so. There was hardly a tougher Trump critic during the 2016 campaign than Ryan, who felt duty-bound to combat the candidate’s dark rhetoric and the party’s nativist drift. Yet there has hardly been anyone softer on Trump since Election Day than Ryan, who felt duty-bound to deliver on the policy promises made to voters—and decided that doing so meant ignoring the ad hominem savaging of private citizens, the hush money paid to porn stars, the attacks on private companies, the attempts to delegitimize institutions and the innumerable other acts for which Barack Obama would have been impaled by the right. |

The Great Man Former US president Donald Trump is slamming politicians who refuse to say whether they have received Covid-19 booster shots as “gutless”. “You gotta say it. Whether you had it or not, say it,” Trump said in an interview that aired on Tuesday night on the conservative One America News Network. Trump, who was booed last month by supporters after revealing he had received a booster shot, has become increasingly vocal in calling out those who have questioned the vaccines’ efficacy and safety.

NY AG JamesWe are taking legal action to force Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump to comply with our investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings. No one in this country can pick and choose if and how the law applies to them. We have uncovered significant evidence indicating that the Trump Organization used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations on multiple properties to obtain economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions for years. Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump have all been closely involved in the transactions in question, so we won’t tolerate their attempts to evade testifying in this investigation. We will not be deterred in our efforts to continue this investigation, uncover the facts, and pursue justice, no matter how many roadblocks Mr. Trump and his family throw in our way. No one is above the law. |

Some details of the allegations: The filing argued that the statements made “frequent use of misleading asset valuations in order to obtain financial benefits.” In 2015, for example, while seeking to refinance a loan on his 40 Wall Street tower in Lower Manhattan, Mr. Trump’s statement of financial condition estimated that the property was worth $735 million. Yet one lender concluded it was worth only $257 million. Ms. James’s lawyers argue that Mr. Trump submitted at least two misleading statements to the Internal Revenue Service, saying that he substantially overstated the value of land at both his Seven Springs Estate in Westchester County and his Los Angeles Golf Club. The value of Seven Springs, Ms. James said, had been boosted by counting the value of seven nonexistent mansions, said to be worth $61 million. They also accused the Organization of calculating the value of Trump Tower by falsely inflating the size of Mr. Trump’s longtime home: While Mr. Trump had claimed since 2012 that his triplex penthouse apartment in the building was 30,000 square feet, he had signed documents stating its size as 10,996 square feet. The additional square footage allowed the company to claim a $327 million value for the apartment in statements of financial condition. Ms. James said that Allen H. Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer, had said during questioning by Ms. James’s investigators that the apartment was overvalued by “give or take” $200 million. Mr. Trump’s company is already under indictment in Manhattan. In July, the former district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., charged the company and Mr. Weisselberg with carrying out a 15-year scheme to dole out off-the-books luxury perks to certain executives. That case is scheduled to head to trial later this year |

All stemmed from Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony 3 years ago. He tipped the bucket on them and is still providing information.
This is a parallel investigation to the criminal investigation run by Cyrus Vance. They tried to get this booted out claiming that it was just a means of getting stuff for the criminal part through this lower bar civil action.
