Attempted Coup in the United States: Tracking Investigations and Fallout

I wouldn’t underestimate them.

Unlike the Proud Boys and Patriots Prayer riot tourists, they weren’t there to mix it up with the locals, so they withdrew without engaging, and kept discipline. They can’t march worth beans, but did you see that shield wall maneuver, where they backed up all in step? That’s a practiced move.

participating in a secret attempt to rewrite the history of the military’s response to the Capitol riot.

In a 36-page memo, Col. Earl Matthews, who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon roles during the Trump administration, slams the Pentagon’s inspector general for what he calls an error-riddled report that protects a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol on Jan. 6, delaying the insurrection response for hours.

Matthews’ memo, sent to the Jan. 6 select committee this month and obtained by POLITICO, includes detailed recollections of the insurrection response as it calls two Army generals — Gen. Charles Flynn, who served as deputy chief of staff for operations on Jan. 6, and Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt, the director of Army staff — “absolute and unmitigated liars” for their characterization of the events of that day. Matthews has never publicly discussed the chaos of the Capitol siege.
Flynn is Michael’s brother, and while that isn’t necessarily damning, it certainly invites a little bit of extra scrutiny!

Speaking of the Flynn family traitors…

Stall, postpone, obstruct is the game.

[Looks at calendar] So, are the odds makers in Vegas taking bets on whether or not the committee reaches conclusions before the 2022 primary season?

that’s called larping.

and while these guys would have no problem doing something like what rittenhouse did, they’re about as “tactical” as a tactical water bottle.

The irony, Muslim activists say, is that the conservative political class that cheered on Republican administrations’ sweeping targeting of Muslims is now using that same legacy to spread the conspiratorial idea of a witch hunt against followers of former president Donald Trump, one of the most vocally anti-Muslim politicians in the country.

They retreated into their rental trucks and shut the doors. I would have slapped my bicycle padlock onto the handle and thrown the key as far I as I possibly could. /s

They’re not going to be able to stage these quick events forever without an organized reaction. (Even with a police escort.)

That’s called “antifa” and leads to, um, what do we even call it, “riot fatigue”?

It just seems like the end game is always more money for cops

eta: It seem that there were reports of the National Guard being turned down by 3pm on social media. Interesting that bullhorn guy has time for scanning it.
