Riot Roh-Roh: Trump Drags Nikki Haley In Massive January 6 Blunder

Posted on 20/01/2024 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump blamed former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley for security during the January 6, 2021 attack on Friday as he seemingly confused former House speaker Nancy Pelosi with his Republican rival.

The former president – while touting the amount of supporters at the Concord, New Hampshire rally – claimed the former South Carolina governor gets crowds of “like nine people” in the state before bringing up the insurrection.

“By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley. You know they – do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it,” Trump claimed.

“Because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security — we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guards, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people.”

Trump has previously pointed his finger at Pelosi for security breakdowns when the riot took place, claiming that the former House speaker turned down his offer to activate the National Guard as his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

The House speaker isn’t in charge of security at the Capitol and doesn’t direct the National Guard.

Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi, told The Associated Press last year that the former House speaker – who he noted was a “target of an assassination attempt” that day – “was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was.”

“This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Hammill wrote of the claim.

A number of critics on X mocked Trump for his remarks, questioning whether he “can identify a fucking whale.”

MSNBC Host Gets Emotional Thanking Former D.C. Police Officer On Jan. 6 Anniversary

Posted on 07/01/2024 by Boris Clair

MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart cried as he began his interview with former D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone on Saturday, three years after the violent Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The host introduced Fanone, who sustained a heart attack as well as a traumatic brain injury after he was beaten and electroshocked by Trump supporters during the insurrection.

Fanone, in an interview with CNN just days after the attack, recalled rioters shouting “kill him with his own gun.”

Capehart said Fanone lived through a “harrowing assault” and has lived with “the consequences of that trauma” before pointing to the ex-officer’s recent interview with HuffPost where he described American voters as the “last line of defense when it comes to preserving democracy” and ensuring the peaceful transfer of power.

The host went on to introduce Fanone before his voice began to shake.

“Officer Fanone, I’m gonna try to get through this,” said Capehart as he fought back tears.

“Thank you for what you did three years ago today.”

Capehart later took to social media where he responded to a Mediaite story about the emotional on-air moment.

“And I’d do it again! ✊🏾,” Capehart wrote.

7 Key Takeaways From Donald Trump’s January 6 Indictment

Posted on 02/08/2023 by Boris Clair

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted over his attempt to remain in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election, yet another moment of reckoning amid a torrent of criminal charges.

Trump faces four felony charges as part of a sweeping, 45-page indictment filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Special counsel Jack Smith’s team of investigators accused the former president of multiple conspiracies to defraud the United States, to obstruct an official proceeding and to deprive people of their right to vote and have that vote counted under the Constitution.

Here are seven key things to know.

1. Trump knew his claims were false but spread them anyway to create an “intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger.”

Prosecutors note that Trump, like every American, had the right to speak publicly about the election “and even to claim, falsely,” that there had been “outcome-determinative fraud.”

But his efforts became unlawful when he moved to defraud the United States and attempt to subvert the process of collecting, counting and certifying the election results. That plan, the indictment says, included a multi-prong approach to spread lies, install slates of fake electors in swing states and convince election officials and then-Vice President Mike Pence to subvert the will of the people.

“Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power,” the indictment says.

Trump faces four felony charges in the special counsel's investigation into his effort to remain in the Oval Office despite losing reelection in 2020. — Trump faces four felony charges in the special counsel’s investigation into his effort to remain in the Oval Office despite losing reelection in 2020.

2. The indictment identifies six co-conspirators.

Trump was aided in his effort to overturn the 2020 election by six unnamed co-conspirators, the indictment says.

Five of them are identifiable through details and information provided in the filing documents:

1. Rudy Giuliani is listed as “an attorney who was willing to spread knowingly false claims and pursue strategies that the Defendant’s 2020 re-election campaign attorneys would not.”

2. John Eastman is listed as “an attorney who devised and attempted to implement a strategy to leverage the Vice President’s ceremonial role overseeing the certification proceeding to obstruct the certification of the presidential election.”

3. Sidney Powell is listed as “an attorney whose unfounded claims of election fraud the Defendant privately acknowledged to others sounded ‘crazy.’”

4. Jeffrey Clark is identified as “a Justice Department official who worked on civil matters and who, with the Defendant, attempted to use the Justice Department to open sham election crime investigations and influence state legislatures with knowingly false claims of election fraud.”

5. Kenneth Chesebro is listed as “an attorney who assisted in devising and attempting to implement a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding.”

6. The sixth co-conspirator is so far unknown but is identified as “a political consultant who helped implement a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding.”

3. People in Trump’s orbit repeatedly told him there was no evidence of voter fraud.

The indictment alleges Trump and his co-conspirators made repeated, “prolific” claims of election fraud despite knowing they were false. Prosecutors say that Trump was repeatedly told by his inner circle his claims were untrue but that he “deliberately disregarded the truth.”

Smith’s team pointed to conversations Trump had with Vice President Mike Pence, senior leaders at the Justice Department, the director of national intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security and many aides, White House attorneys and campaign staffers, all of whom said his claims were unsubstantiated.

The indictment names six co-conspirators, five of whom can be identified. They include attorneys Sidney Powell (left) and Rudy Giuliani.

4. Trump acknowledged claims about election fraud and voting machines pushed by a co-conspirator sounded “crazy.”

The indictment notes that even as Trump’s legal advisers were working to undercut election results in Georgia, he knew the claims were unfounded and even described Co-Conspirator 3’s plan as “crazy.”

That sentiment spread through Trump’s close advisers as the effort to install slates of fake electors in swing states began in force in an effort to obstruct a true count of the Electoral College votes.

“Here’s the thing the way this has morphed it’s a crazy play so I don’t know who wants to put their name on it,” Trump’s deputy campaign manager at the time texted to other aides. No one agreed to put their name on the plan as they couldn’t “stand by it.”

5. Trump pressured the Justice Department to support him and threatened to remove those who refused to go along with his plan.

Trump repeatedly tried to get the Department of Justice to support his false claims of election fraud, “thus giving the Defendant’s lies the backing of the federal government.” But the acting attorney general and acting deputy attorney general both refused, saying the agency would not and could not change the outcome of the election.

“Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen,” Trump replied, the indictment says.

The former president then attempted to install Co-Conspirator 4 as acting attorney general to help further the plot. Trump backed down after many in the White House threatened a mass resignation.

Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) read the final certification of Electoral College votes cast in the 2020 presidential election at the Capitol on Jan. 7, 2021, hours after the congressional session was halted by rioting Trump supporters.

6. Pence’s notes helped the special counsel craft his case.

Trump heavily pressured Pence to support his effort to remain in power and reject the ceremonial certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the election.

Prosecutors pieced together details of Trump’s conversations and thinking around the time using Pence’s “contemporaneous notes” in the days leading up to Jan. 6.

The vice president rejected Trump’s attempts, telling him to his face that he didn’t believe he had the authority to do what Trump asked.

Trump later told Pence that he would have to publicly criticize him, the indictment says, which prompted his chief of staff to inform the Secret Service about fears for Pence’s safety.

7. Trump waited and watched on TV as his supporters stormed the Capitol.

The indictment claims Trump exploited the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and resisted pleas from his aides and supporters to speak out as the insurrection grew.

“When advisors urged the Defendant to issue a calming message aimed at the rioters, the Defendant refused, instead repeatedly remarking that the people at the Capitol were angry because the election had been stolen,” the document says.

DC Police Officer Smacks Table During Emotional Capitol Riot Testimony

Posted on 27/07/2021 by Boris Clair

Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, one of the most vocally critical law enforcement officers who responded to the Capitol riot, gave some fiery testimony Tuesday morning during the first congressional hearing on the events of January 6.

Fanone described the harrowing and traumatic experience of being physically assaulted as he and other officers responded to the rioting, only to watch members of Congress downplay that trauma in the weeks and months afterward.

“The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful!” Fanone told lawmakers, shouting as he slammed a hand down hard on the table that held his prepared statement.

Fanone pounds the table as he says, “the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful!”

“Nothing has prepared me to address those elected members of our government who continue to deny the events of that day and in doing so betray their oath of office,” he adds pic.twitter.com/LrJOxT0ueh

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 27, 2021

The officer was one of four law enforcement personnel to deliver prepared remarks and answer questions from the congressional panel convened by House Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi. The panelists include seven Democrats and two Republicans: Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

House Minority Leader Republican Kevin McCarthy withdrew all of his nominees to the commission last week after Pelosi rejected two of his picks; both of them had voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election in favour of President Donald Trump.

In his remarks, Fanone explained how he and a partner ran over to the Capitol, even though they had not been assigned to work there, after hearing the desperate pleas of law enforcement over the radio. He recounted seeing one Metropolitan Police commander, Ramey Kyle, “struggling to breathe” in a thick cloud of chemical gas before Kyle picked himself up, straightened his uniform and returned to the line.

“The fighting in the lower west terrace tunnel was nothing short of brutal,” Fanone recalled. “Here I observed approximately 30 police officers standing shoulder to shoulder, four or five abreast, using the weight of their bodies to hold back the onslaught of violent attackers.” When he and his partner offered to relieve some of the other officers of duty, Fanone said, none volunteered, choosing instead to help defend the building and those in it.

At later points, Fanone said that he was grabbed, beaten, repeatedly electrocuted and was stripped of his badge and police radio. There was “a very good chance I would be torn apart or shot with my own weapon,” he said, until he made it known that he had children, soliciting the help of a small number of pro-Trump protesters to get himself to safety.

In the aftermath, Fanone said doctors told him he had experienced a heart attack at the Capitol, and was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“What makes the struggle harder and more painful is to know so many of my fellow citizens, including so many of the people I put my life at risk to defend, are downplaying or outright denying what happened,” Fanone said.

“I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them, and the people in this room. But too many are now telling me that hell doesn’t exist, or that hell wasn’t actually that bad,” he added, before raising his voice at the “disgraceful” indifference shown to his colleagues.

He went on: “My law enforcement career prepared me to cope with some of the aspects of this experience. Being an officer, you know your life is at risk whenever you walk out the door, even if you don’t expect other law-abiding citizens to take up arms against you. But nothing — truly nothing — has prepared me to address those elected members of our government who continue to deny the events of that day, and in doing so, betray their oath of office.”

Donald Trump Calls Mob Who Attacked US Capitol ‘Great People’

Posted on 12/07/2021 by Boris Clair

Twice-impeached former President Donald Trump on Sunday praised his supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6 in a violent attempt to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

“These were peaceful people, these were great people,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

Recalling the events of January 6, Trump claimed “there was love in the air” at his rally earlier that day at the White House, and falsely said there was a “lovefest between the Capitol Police and the people that walked down to the Capitol.”

“They are military people, and police officers and construction workers,” he added. “They are tremendous. In many cases, tremendous people.”

The 6 riot at the Capitol was a shocking and horrifying event, as captured by countless testimonials from lawmakers who fled the scene and Capitol Police officers who faced off with the insurrectionists in hand-to-hand combat. Trump supporters assaulted Capitol Police officers and hurled racist insults at them as they forced their way into the building.

Approximately 140 police officers were injured during the attack. Dozens of people have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.

“Is this America? They beat police officers with Blue Lives Matter flags. They fought us, they had Confederate flags in the US Capitol,” Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn later recalled in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America.

Body camera footage recently released by the Justice Department shows the terrifying carnage facing police officers on the steps of the US Capitol:

Adam Kinzinger, one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the insurrection, called on his party to speak out following Trump’s comments on Sunday. He also alluded to a phone call between Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy that took place during the attack.

“Would be good the hear @GOPLeader McCarthy confirm that the former guy said this very thing as it happened,” Kinzinger tweeted Sunday on evening. “My fellow Republicans, SPEAK OUT NOW. History remembers.”
