Commission to investigate January 6 Capitol riot

[Rewind]

On the day of the deadly riot – which he incited – Trump used an official White House telephone to call a Retrumplican Senator but did not make note of it in the call log as the Presidential Records Act requires him to do. Trump also phoned Kevin McCarthy on that day and did not note it in the call log. In fact, the January 6 call log has a seven-hour gap. What is Trump hiding?

How scary that so many blindly loyal Trump supporters believed Donald Trump's Big Lie of a "rigged, stolen election" and were were willing to fight for him, to kill for him and even to die for him.

Man who brought Molotov cocktails near Capitol on January 6 sentenced to 46 months
CNN, Apr 1 2022 1:22 PM ET

Concluding one of the more unnerving cases surrounding January 6, a man who brought multiple firearms, Molotov cocktails and other weapons near the US Capitol that day was sentenced today to 46 months behind bars. Lonnie Coffman, 72, parked his truck – filled with 11 Mason jars filled with gasoline and Styrofoam, several unregistered firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammo, a stun gun, machetes and a crossbow with bolts – a few blocks from the Capitol on January 6. "He had almost a small armory in his truck, ready to do battle," Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said before sentencing Coffman to several months above what prosecutors had recommended.

Another blindly loyal Trump supporter who obeyed his master's command to "march to the Capitol" and "fight like hell" is going to prison.

On the morning of January 6, 2021, Ivanka was in the Oval Office when Donald Trump phoned Mike Pence to urge him to reject Biden's Electoral College votes – which of course is something the Vice President had no power or authority to do. Trump called Pence a "wimp" and told him, “You don’t have the courage to make a hard decision.” Trump was hoping to steal the election.

Wikipedia defines the Proud Boys as a "far-right, neo-fascist, and exclusively male organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States." They have been banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Believing Donald Trump's Big Lie of a "rigged, stolen election" and obeying Trump's order to "march to the Capitol" and "fight like hell" is nothing to be proud of.

Donald Trump never admits he's wrong about anything, nor does he ever apologize for anything. Thus, the January 6 Capitol riot was not his fault, even though he ordered his blindly loyal supporters to "march to the Capitol" and "fight like hell" to "stop the steal." And Trump blames Nancy Pelosi and the DC Mayor for not stopping the riot. Tell me, delusional Donald, how could those two women have stopped such a violent insurrection?

"I would have gone there in a minute," former President Donald Trump told The Washington Post. The Secret Service "said I couldn't go."

Another blindly loyal Trump supporter will be going to prison. Charles Donohoe is one of several Proud Boys members who led the rioters. He could get 70 to 87 months but he agreed to testify against his co-defendants in the hope of getting a lighter sentence.

Will US Attorney General Merrick Garland file criminal charges against Donald Trump? If not, he will be confirming what we have witnessed during the past six years: Trump is above the law, above the Constitution and above the Presidential oath of office. "Teflon Don" can say and do whatever he wants with impunity. He is untouchable.

January 6 panel has enough evidence to refer Trump for criminal charges, Liz Cheney says
"It’s definitely clear what President Trump was doing. What a number of people around him were doing. They knew it was unlawful. They did it anyway,” said the vice chair of the committee.

And another blindly loyal Trump supporter will be going to prison. Thomas Robertson was a police sergeant. After he took part in the deadly Capitol riot – he was off-duty at the time – he was fired.

Donald Trump has spent 17 months insisting he won the 2020 Presidential election "in a landslide" and claiming – with zero evidence – that there was "widespread voter fraud" and the election was "rigged" and "stolen." He incited a deadly riot by commanding his blindly loyal supporters to "march to the Capitol" and "fight like hell" to "stop the steal." However, I believe the jury in this case will conclude that this defendant is responsible for his own actions. He will be joining hundreds of other blindly loyal Trump supporters in prison.
