It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!

Neben Stone ist nun auch Flynn abgehakt, jetzt fehlen noch Manafort und Bannon - alles Leute, die für Mad King gelogen haben. Was natürlich auch heißt: Ohne Pardon (oder, wie zuvor bei Flynn, Sonderbehandlung durch Barr) hätten alle einen Grund, den Mund nicht mehr zu halten.
Mal sehen, ob noch Familienmitglieder ein Blanko-Pardon bekommen oder gleich alle Mitarbeiter der Regierung und ob zum Schluss, als Königsdisziplin, das große self-pardon kommt.
Juristisch sicherer als das self-pardon wäre ein Rücktritt ganz kurz vor Ende der Amtszeit und eine Begnadigung durch Mike Pence.

The Flynn pardon is a corrupt abuse of power, a move even Richard Nixon knew he couldn’t get away with for his co-conspirators. This is one of the most corrupt actions ever by a US president. Full stop.

Here’s the first and most important thing to understand about the crime for which President Trump just pardoned former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn: Flynn did not lie to protect himself. He lied to protect Donald Trump.

BREAKING from CNN:
“The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to a court record unsealed on Tuesday by the chief judge of the DC District Court.”

Da Bill Barr heute ein längeres Treffen mit CoS Meadows im Weißen Haus hatte, vermute ich, dass er alle potentiell Beteiligten vorgewarnt hat.
(Und nicht zu vergessen: Nach Nixon war und ist es immer noch ziemlich unüblich, dass der AG zu stundenlangen Konsultationen ins Weiße Haus fährt.)
Is Barr at the White House now to discuss this with Trump?

On Monday, Fox News host Sean Hannity said on his radio show that the President should pardon his family and himself to avoid being prosecuted by the incoming Biden administration.
"The President out the door needs to pardon his whole family and himself," Hannity said, later adding, "I assume that the power of the pardon is absolute, and that he should be able to pardon anybody that he wants to."

Russian state media—a reliable barometer of the mood at the Kremlin—remains fixated on election-related events in America. Affectionately referring to Donald Trump as “our Donald,” “Trumpusha” and “Comrade Trump,” Russian lawmakers, experts and pundits repeatedly have expressed their concerns about the future of Moscow’s all-time favorite U.S. president.
Co-host of Russian state TV news talk show 60 Minutes Olga Skabeeva brought up the possibility that President Trump would end up seeking asylum in Russia to escape any prosecutions in the United States following the conclusion of his sole presidential term. Skabeeva emphasized that this was by no means a joking matter: “It’s all very serious,” she said, as she pondered out loud about the nature of criminal charges Trump might soon be facing.

Former Houston police captain accused of violent attempt to prove election conspiracy was hired by GOP activist's group
Mark Aguirre is accused of running a man off the road and threatening him at gunpoint. The ex-cop was hired as a private investigator by a group whose CEO is GOP activist Steven Hotze.
HOUSTON — A former Houston police captain was arrested after allegedly running a man off the road and threatening him at gunpoint — what prosecutors say was part of an elaborate attempt to find evidence for a false conspiracy theory of widespread voter fraud in Harris County.
Mark Aguirre, who was working on behalf of a powerful Republican megadonor’s group to investigate unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in Harris County, was arrested Tuesday, according to the Harris County district attorney’s office.
Prosecutors say Aguirre’s claims were baseless and that he was paid $266,400 by Liberty Center for God and Country, whose CEO is prominent Texas right-wing activist Steven Hotze.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Pardoning Manafort would be seen as a political disaster for the President. There may come a day down the road, after the politics have changed that you’d want to consider an application of him like everybody else, but now would be a disaster.”

- Sounds like he’s gonna do it!
- I'm sure that IF it happens, Lindsey will have an excuse for it. Dude is Trump's toilet paper.
- The next question to Graham should be: "So what will you do personally if Trump does pardon Manafort?" Cause withouth an ACTUAL answer, and this seems to be the MO of the GOP, Graham's opinion means precisely sh*t.
- Does @LindseyGrahamSC really think Trump gives a damn about creating a political disaster?

The only juror who spoke publicly after the jury convicted Manafort said: it would be a mistake for Trump to pardon him. The juror said she left her MAGA hat in her car and followed the law, the facts, and her oath.

Easy enough to beat Trump at his game: put Stone and Manafort in the grand jury after 1/20/21 to get at what they have hidden from the government about Trump- and if they then lie, they can be prosecuted for perjury and obstruction.
The fifth amendment issue is a non issue. Yes, those pardoned may still have a colorable fifth amendment claim but, even if they do, the government can immunize them and require them to testify in the grand jury. If they then lie they face criminal prosecution.

It remains to be seen how this will affect the runoffs, but McConnell just poisoned the $2000 by attaching 230 repeal to it.

ATLANTA – A newly-unearthed photo of Sen. Kelly Loeffler with yet another leader of a Georgia white supremacist group undermines Loeffler’s claim that she didn’t know the former KKK leader who heads the organization after she posed for a photo with him at a recent campaign event.
Although Loeffler denied knowing former KKK leader Chester Doles, Doles told Popular Information’s Judd Legum on Wednesday that his group American Patriots USA provided security at one of Loeffler’s campaign events on September 3. In addition to Loeffler’s photo with Doles which was unearthed over the weekend, Loeffler also posed for a photo with American Patriots USA vice president Josh Mote along with Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton.

Amazing statement by the Secretary of Defense.
Note whom Secretary Miller and Chairman Milley did NOT speak to: President Trump.

Read this thread and related tweets. This was not just a mob. There were organized military-style elements involved who had done a fair amount of planning and preparation. The president was not just egging on useful idiots. He was encouraging something like domestic terrorists.

I heard at least 3 different rioters at the Capitol say that they hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor. It was a common line being repeated. Many more were just talking about how the VP should be executed.

Trumpism corrupts
Although many rioters clearly fought police to enter the Capitol, this video—which I am just seeing this afternoon for the first time—clearly shows Capitol police just standing by and welcoming a throng of protesters in:
"I disagree with you," says one police officer. "I respect you."
Just shocking.
I was extremely skeptical and dismissive of claims that Capitol police would have just let protesters waltz in without going through a metal detector.
I thought we would have seen a video like this yesterday if it were true.
I was wrong.

Er wird seinem orangenen Führer ohne jeden Wackler bis in den Tod die Treue halten. Der Mob wird ihm, trotz einem Anflug von Hochgefühlen, zu lasch gewesen sein; und Teleprompter-Trump war natürlich wieder 4-D-Schach.

Das kann gut sein. Diverse Morddrohungen gegenüber und/oder Belästigungen (auch) von Familienmitgliedern von Abweichlern innerhalb der Republikaner sind hinlänglich bekannt. Seit Jahren. Schon im Wahlkampf 2016.
Manche Morddrohungen zumal in jüngerer Vergangenheit waren öffentlich:
I can’t understand for the life of me why Lin Wood isn’t being arrested for conspiring to assassinate the Vice President.
1A should not apply here. Having cultivated a massive sect of followers since Nov 3, Wood directed them to murder Mike Pence, and some tried to do just that.
Lin Wood is directing people to shoot Mike Pence. ------------------>

@RepKevinBrady
"Those calling for impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment in response to President Trump’s rhetoric this week are themselves engaging in intemperate and inflammatory language and calling for action that is equally irresponsible and could well incite further violence."

The House should immediately subpoena the President’s phone records. He was calling people during the Capitol insurrection to try to continue to delay election certification. Who else did he try to call other than Sen. Tuberville? Rudy’s calls too.

Trump spent weeks telling his supporters that if he lost it was Mike Pence's fault and then tweeted this out *while his supporters were storming the US Capitol,* with some supporters already calling for Pence's arrest and/or execution.
