So OK he's president so fucking what. No difference a president has NO POWER to order private citizens to stop or start something. Maybe you believe that I know DEMOCRATS believe that. IT WASN'T AN INSURRECTION, TRUMP BROKE NO LAW BY NOT SAYING ANYTHING AND THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.
New York Times: Six members of Congress were trump's foot soldiers in the attempted coup: Jim Jordan Paul Gosar Louie Gohmert Andy Biggs Mo Brooks Scott Perry And Kevin McCarthy wanted to put those traitors on the Select Committee investigating the insurrection.
No use reading any further than this. Not that you had any to begin with, but when you start a post with NYT, all credibility is instantly lost.
"Credibility" is a word used differently by honest people versus those like yourself. With me, utterly honest regardless of the condemnation that might bring, it means trustworthiness because of probable truth. With you it means "I have to reject it, even when I believe it, because it doesn't fit my propaganda." And, by the way, the text Jim Jordan sent to Mark Meadows proves the NYT story.
well there you go…. https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/14/lincoln-project-donors-are-bankrolling-liz-cheney/ Lincoln Project Donors Are Bankrolling Liz Cheney Tristan Justice Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney raked in almost $55,000 from the same donors who fund the Lincoln Project, according to a Federalist analysis of public finance records. After cementing a perpetual feud with former President Donald Trump and Republican voters as a hallmark of her legacy in the lower chamber, Cheney’s goals now seem indistinguishable from those of the super PAC cloaking Democrat attacks as Republican. The shared donor base makes that clear. According to receipts dated in August by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway, a “top donor” to the Lincoln Project, gave Cheney and related campaign committees $21,600. Billionaire John Pritzker, who has given at least $100,000 to the Lincoln Project, according to Forbes, also gave Cheney $21,600. As Cheney faces a competitive primary from Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman next year, three more prime billionaire donors of the Lincoln Project also jumped in to help fund Cheney’s re-election battle, including Martha Karsh, Stephen Mandel, and Christy Walton. Karsh donated $5,800 in May, while Mandel gave $2,900 and Walton gave $2,800 in March. While FEC receipts show Karsh with a -$2,900 transaction listed with her name, an FEC spokesman told The Federalist the money was merely reallocated to the general election fund, which the records also indicate. Mandel was identified by Forbes in the summer of 2020 as the Lincoln Project’s “largest donor,” giving the group a seven-figure sum to take down President Trump and reclaim a Democrat majority in the Senate. Karsh gave the operatives at least $50,000 to aid the effort, and Walton donated $30,000. Since January, Cheney and the Lincoln Project have joined forces to exploit the riot at the Capitol as an instrument for vengeance against Trump and Republican voters, branding the episode of political unrest as the “worst attack” on American democracy in decades. The Lincoln Project released an ad over the summer characterizing the three-hour riot as an “act of terror” worse than the al-Qaeda attacks on 9/11, which claimed 3,000lives. Cheney has gone as far as to claim the Capitol riot was “the most serious attack on our Capitol since 1814,” glossing over the 1954 raid by Puerto Rican nationalists who shot five congressmen, the 1983 Senate bombing by left-wing militants granted clemency by Democrats, and the al-Qaeda terrorists who flew a plane into the Pentagon on 9/11. Never mind the summer of rage that routinely swept the nation’s capital just last year, burning a historic church across from the White House in the process. Now serving as Democrat-appointed vice-chair of the House Select Committee on January 6th, targeting private citizenswho exercised their right to protest, Cheney’s crusade against Trump and Republican voters has become her legacy, just as the Lincoln Project’s. Shortly after the riot, Cheney, then-GOP conference chair, led the futile campaign to recruit Republican House members to join Democrats in their snap impeachment of the outgoing president. Only nine members opted to vote in support of the effort. After surviving a referendum on her role in House leadership one month later, an emboldened Cheney ramped up her attacks on the former president, antagonized Republican voters, and undermined the Republican conference. By May, Cheney was given the boot from leadership. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wasted no time two months later appointing Cheney to the Democrats’ weaponized probe to punish political dissidents in pursuit of a new hoax. After the failure of two impeachments, the collapse of the Kremlin collusion conspiracy, and the botched Russian bounties scandal amplified primarily by the Wyoming lawmaker herself, the made-up narrative wherein Trump deliberately manipulated an “insurrection” at the Capitol to subvert the 2020 election has become the latest effort to eradicate the former president’s influence, all with the help of Lincoln Project donors.
If the purpose of your communications with the president or his staff is to influence policy, OR provide input on implementation and application of laws, OR provide input on the response to issues concerning the nation then that communication is not personal and should be available to the public discourse. Its not a private conversation if your discussion is about a public issue with people of influence in the issue. Also, any public figure today that still believes their electronic communications about significant events will remain a secret is - -I'll be kind - - not thinking clearly. Especially 'news' people who trade in this kind of stuff for their very lucrative living.
Your the one who loves the guy who would be dictator. What is the first step for a dictator? Easy, invalidate the election that you lost. Second step, bully, intimidate, and threaten all who oppose your take over, or attempted takeover, of the government. As far as blame, apparently his son, his Fox news sycophants, his chief of staff, and his political sheep see it differently than you or they wouldn't have been sending these texts. Interesting that his son felt like he had to go through Meadows. I guess direct communication with his dad was not productive.
