FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated

[Rick Plant]

No concern about the military and Biden administration lying to cover up the deaths of a family in Afghanistan who they falsely reported were terrorists after blowing them up in a drone strike.  Including numerous children.  The only thing that matters to you is that some protestors entered the Capitol back in Jan. 6?

Going off topic and switching the subject isn't going to change the fact the seditious GOP members along with the "president" coordinated and planned an attempted coup with domestic terrorists to overthrow the US Government trying to stop the election certification by force. That is called treason, and yes, that matters to me and the overwhelming majority of Americans who also want it investigated. No concern from you for the dead officers and their families because of a Trump supporters attack on the United States?

Huh?  No officers were killed.  None.  That is another demonstrable lie.  Only one person was killed that day.  An unarmed female military vet shot by a police officer with a record of reckless dereliction of duty including leaving his firearm in the public restroom.  Her death, much like those of the children who died in Afghanistan as the result of Biden's incompetence, was barely reported by the left wing media seeking to protect Biden.

An officer died on duty due to a stroke because of the intense situation he faced. Several officer committed suicide after this attack by Trump's domestic terrorists. The female vet was a domestic terrorist who was warned several times not to break through the Capitol window and she did anyway so she was shot. She was a serious danger to the lives of our elected officials who were targeted by her and her right wing thugs. The officer was a hero who saved the lives of our elected officials. Right wingers don't care about death of children in America due to gun violence and COVID but pretend to care about children in Afghanistan for a phony political issue. What a joke. Seems you forgot about Trump's debacle in Africa where 4 soldiers died and they were laughing about it. There is no "left wing media". CNN and MSNBC were pushing the same bogus propaganda like on Faux.

He died from a stroke caused by a blood clot.  It had no more connection to the events of Jan. 6 than any other death that occurred from natural causes.  In fact, he died the next day.  His death was falsely attributed to being struck with a fire extinguisher for months despite there being no basis for that conclusion.  It was yet another in a long line of fake media stories perpetuated to smear Trump that turned out to be baseless.  As you correctly note, the only person killed that day was an unarmed female military vet.  Shot at point blank range by an officer.  The investigation into her death was covered up to the extent that his name was not even revealed.  Like something from Commie China.

Of course there was a planned coordination to overthrow the US Government and keep Criminal Donald illegally in power. As more information comes out and the investigation continues, Criminal Donald and his cohorts will all go to prison for treason and crimes against the United States of America.   

'Absolutely terrifying': CNN's Jake Tapper reacts in horror to new revelations about Trump and Capitol riots

CNN host Jake Tapper on Tuesday reacted with horror after reporter Jamie Gangel broke down new details from the new bombshell book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

While appearing on Tapper's show, Gangel explained the crucial role that Steve Bannon played in getting Trump to attend the January 6th "Stop the Steal" rally, which he hoped would severely damage President Joe BIden's tenure in office.

"December 30th -- when Trump is down in Mar-a-Lago, Steve Bannon's in Washington -- and Trump is complaining that the Republicans aren't doing enough for his effort," Gangel said. "And Bannon says to him... 'You've got to return to Washington right now, you've got to make a dramatic return."

Gangel went on to explain Bannon's thinking behind getting Trump to rail against the election results in front of his most rabid supporters on January 6th.

"[Bannon] calls January 6th a moment for reckoning, and then he goes even further," Gangel said. "This is about Bannon on Biden, and he says... 'We're going to bury Biden on January 6th, effing bury him.' This was, it sounds like from Woodward and Costa, that Bannon saw this as a moment to undermine Biden's legitimacy, and he goes on, according to the book, Bannon says, 'We're going to kill it in the crib, kill the Biden presidency in the crib.'"

"That is just absolutely terrifying," Tapper replied.

Ashli Babbitt was a deranged Qanon conspiracy theorist who intended to attack members of Congress. She was warned several times not to break through the Capitol window and she did anyway. It was her own fault. There was no "cover up" an investigation was done and the police officer who is an American hero was interviewed telling the entire story. There are no "baseless stories to smear Trump". Trump is a mentally ill deranged lunatic who attempted an illegal coup to remain in power and he ordered his thugs to storm the Capitol to overturn the certification from happening. That is clear treason.

Trump biographer explains the biggest thing General Milley got wrong about the former president

Trump biographer Tim O'Brien penned a column on Tuesday explaining one big thing they new Bob Woodward/Bob Costa's book Peril gets wrong.

It was reported Tuesday that Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was terrified that Trump would go to war and launch a nuclear strike to try to stay in power. He went so far as to promise China that if Trump did something like that he'd flag it for China ahead of time.

Pelosi called Milley after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to ask about what "precautions are available to prevent an unstable president from initiating military hostilities," a transcript of the call said.

There were "a lot of checks in the system," Milley told her.

"He's crazy. You know he's crazy," Pelosi said. "He's crazy and what he did yesterday is further evidence of his craziness."

"I agree with you on everything," Milley answered.

The excerpt of the book also claimed that Milley believed Trump "suffered a mental decline after the election."

O'Brien explained that it may seem that Trump went "rogue" or became worse, but the reality is that "Trump was the same guy before and after the 2020 presidential election and on Jan. 6 that he was when he was elected in 2016."

In fact, Trump is the same guy he has been for decades, he explained.

"Love him or hate him, Trump is consistent and has stayed true to form for most of his 75 years. It's that authenticity that endears him to his supporters," O'Brien wrote.

For anyone watching closely, Trump's anger about 2020 is the same as his allegations of "voter fraud" in 2016 when he said that he actually won the popular vote because of millions of "illegal" votes. It's the same as the lie that his crowd at the inauguration was bigger than former President Barack Obama.

"The risks that the country, the rule of law and our institutions still confront stems from that reality," said O'Brien. "The Republican Party continues to embrace and foment Trumpism. Much could still go wrong. And we can't rely on military leaders going rogue to protect us from rogue presidents."

He said that the fact that Milley had to go around Trump proves how broken things are.

"Milley is a sophisticated and dedicated public servant, and he was well aware how his actions would appear," the column says.

"Milley also understands where all this might be headed," the piece closed. "He compared the Jan. 6 insurrection to the failed 1905 uprising in Russia. While the 1905 rebellion sputtered out and was repressed, it paved the way for the more seismic and indelible Russian Revolution of 1917."

Milley confessed to senior staffers that the Jan. 6 attack could have been "a precursor to something far worse down the road."

O'Brien said that Milley's options, not his actions, should be what causes fear.

..."Love him or hate him, Trump is consistent and has stayed true to form for most of his 75 years. It's that authenticity that endears him to his supporters," O'Brien wrote....

You're attempting to debate, "the endeared". They are the enablers, it isn't a logical two-way transaction.
You and I don't see the attraction, but a troublingly large number don't care about themselves, they're STILL totally committed to keeping Mary Trump's crazy uncle totally unaccountable and powerful as possible. Their excuses include that Biden is old, senile, father of demonized Hunter and Kamala is "the other," unacceptable owing to race, gender, lack of unconditional worship of Trump.

Trump pardons Steve Bannon, charged with defrauding ... MOSTLY TRUMP SUPPORTERS
https://theweek.com/speedreads/961953/trump-pardons-steve-bannon-charged-defrauding-trump-supporters
Jan 20, 2021 — Bannon was arrested in August and charged with defrauding investors, mostly Trump supporters, through a group called "We Build the Wall.".

The officer died from the intense situation he faced from the violent insurrectionists. Police were beaten by Trump thugs with weapons, objects, and a fire extinguisher. Ashli Babbitt was a deranged Qanon conspiracy theorist who intended to attack members of Congress. She was warned several times not to break through the Capitol window and she did anyway. It was her own fault. There was no "cover up" an investigation was done and the police officer who is an American hero was interviewed telling the entire story. There are no "baseless stories to smear Trump". Trump is a mentally ill deranged lunatic who attempted an illegal coup to remain in power and he ordered his thugs to storm the Capitol to overturn the certification from happening. That is clear treason.   

That is a complete and demonstrable fabrication.  He died from a stroke the next day that resulted from a blood clot.  There is no evidence that this officer's death was the result of any physical trauma suffered at the hands of the protestors.  The fact that other police officers were assaulted has no relevance as to his cause of death.  You are simply perpetuating the long debunked fake story that he was hit with a fire extinguisher.  He was not.  Even if a fire extinguisher was thrown at someone else that day it is not a contributing factor in the death of another person from a stroke.  You just want that to be true because it plays into your desired narrative.  It is contrary to the actual evidence.  Has anyone been charged with his murder?  Why not?  Again, the only person killed that day was the unarmed female military vet shot by the police.
