kentuck's JournalShould Special Counsel request Trump's tax forms from the Ways and Means Committee?
After all, it was the IRS that took down Capone.
Unless, of course, there is nothing in his tax forms that would be considered "illegal". How possible is that?
In my opinion, the J6 Committee should turn over all of their interviews and evidence to the DOJ.
The DOJ should be able to use everything at their disposal to rid this country of this scourge.
From Absolute Deception to Total Denial
The Cult has to be recognized.
Were they deceived by the cunning words and actions of a Cult Leader?
Or did they choose to be deceived?
They probably are no more stupid than the average person?
They are who they are.
They are passionate in their beliefs.
The roots of their desires are probably as ancient as Buddha's fables.
The Oath Keepers were convicted of "Aiding and Abetting",,
What is "Aiding and Abetting"?
=============
https://www.lawinfo.com/resources/criminal-defense/aiding-and-abetting/
Aiding typically refers to actions that help the crime, like financing an element of the crime, while abetting often refers more to encouraging or instigating a crime. The words are frequently used interchangeably and are usually listed together as one type of crime, regardless of whether your actions were more assisting or encouraging in nature. When trying you for this crime, the prosecution will usually need to prove factors of aiding and abetting, which could include:
Is someone else actually responsible for the crime that you merely helped with?
Did you act in any specific way to assist the crime?
Did you purposefully help the other party commit their crime?
Was your goal to make their crime successful?
If the answer to these questions is "yes," you may be convicted for aiding and abetting. Intent to help the crime is a key element in an aiding and abetting charge. If you can prove any help you provided was purely accidental, you may be able to avoid the conviction. It's important to note that you don't need to actually be there when the crime took place. If you knew about the crime before, during, or even after it happened, you could be charged with aiding and abetting.
Justice is moving unusually quick.
If you step away, you may miss something?
We read that the January 6th Committee is wrapping up and getting ready to make their report to the public.
Also, we read that they have, in the last couple or three days, finally interviewed Mr Ornato, Trump's man in the Secret Service and his Assistant Chief of Staff. Finally, they may have uncovered what happened with the Secret Service on the day our Capitol was attacked?
Also, they had KellyAnne Conway come in yesterday to testify for 5 hours. That must have been a very interesting hearing? Just trying to keep KellyAnne on topic would have been a challenge.
And we read that the Jan6 Grand Jury had a subpoenaed Steven Miller come in yesterday and testify about what he knew. He probably had to dial down his smugness and arrogance before he entered the building?
Also, a jury found two leaders of the Oath Keepers militia group guilty of seditious conspiracy and their sentence is yet to come. This was a game changer for all the folks that talked about how it was like a group of "tourists" on January 6th and it really wasn't a big deal. This verdict stuck a big pin in that balloon.
Soon, we might expect charges of seditious conspiracy against Enrique (Henry) Tarrio and his group of Proud Boys that violently attacked our Capitol.
With the subpoena of Steven Miller, it does appear they are working their way up the ladder.
(And by the way, Mark Meadows has been ordered by the SC Supreme Court to testify before the GA Grand Jury.)
Trump is going all out to assassinate the character of Jack Smith, the Special Counsel.
So far, he has attacked the motives of the Special Counsel himself, as well as his wife and his sister-in-law. Is the family dog next?
But, as everyone now knows, that is what he does.
He follows the same routine every time. He has become boringly predictable to most folks.
One might suspect that the panic is starting to set in?
I have heard one lawyer on You Tube say that these types of attacks on the Special Counsel could be obstruction of justice? He thought the Special Counsel was taking note of each and every one of them.
It will be a whole new ball game, once the first charges are made. He will have to go from offense to defense.
Hopefully, most Americans will be able to see the game he is attempting to play. He has become so obviously deceitful and full of excrement.
Two found guilty of "seditious conspiracy" - what does it mean?
How far does the conspiracy go?
Does it stop with Rhodes and Meggs?
Do they have any evidence that it might go higher?
It is certainly the most serious verdicts thus far in the attack upon our Capitol. There are still several lesser "leaders" that have yet to be tried. They cannot feel too secure today.
What role do the guilty verdicts have in the bigger picture?
They were not "patriots". They were "traitors". They were all found guilty of obstruction.
One would have to think that this would make further charges on those that concocted and inspired the conspiracy much more likely?
Today there is a lot of progress.
Trump admits to taking the documents but says he did so more "openly and transparently"...
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-brags-openly-transparently-took-221058006.html(snip)
Former President Donald Trump boasted on Monday about how he "openly and transparently" moved government records from the White House to Mar-a-Lago upon leaving office.
"...When will you invade Bill and Hillary's home in search of the 33,000 emails she deleted AFTER receiving a subpoena from the U.S. Congress?" Trump wrote on his social media website, Truth Social. "When will you invade the other Presidents' homes in search of documents, which are voluminous, which they took with them, but not nearly so openly and transparently as I did?"

Is there a difference between "former president" and "ex-president"?
Why do not people use "ex-president" more?
It seems to denote a formality to a finality, when a presidency is over.
Just my opinion...
There is a war going on between the two extremes in this country. Both are sure the other side is wrong.
In my opinion, the vast population is closer to the middle and would be the majority over either extreme.
And, in an election, the candidate from the vast middle majority would likely win the election.
Just my opinion.
