Great job! Just 2¼ years to catch up to what anyone sensible could have told you at the time…a bit much for l’esprit d’escalier, but even if it’s too late to matter at least maybe the stairs are still there!

Yeah… I have to imagine that his realization that he should have held Trump accountable for the first impeachment drove him to become actively involved in the Jan. 6th committee. But he’s also retiring rather than running against a Trump-backed candidate, which says a lot about the opposition to the Trump wing of the GOP…

Salesforce sued in attempt to block release of Capitol riot info
Salesforce has become a defendant in a case brought by the Republican National Committee (RNC) that seeks to prevent the release of information revealing communications within the Republican Party related to the storming of the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021.

The Biden administration has created a precedent, revealing intelligence leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Why not build on that precedent, and reveal what intelligence we have about Putin’s money, Maduro’s money, Xi Jinping’s money, or Alexander Lukashenko’s money?
Why not Charles Koch’s money?

So when I read that tweet yesterday, scrolling down I saw people insinuating that she was the person who placed pipe bombs on Jan. 6th. Taking that with a giant grain of salt, but I honestly would not be shocked.

The only thing that makes me doubt the story is that I don’t think MTG has the skill to make a pipe bomb without accidentally killing herself.

You know, I never did hear exactly what those were. Were they viable? Did they have a timer or remote detonation?
She would be dumb enough to put some powder into some pipe, seal the ends and add a fuse, and then just leave them lying there… inert…
I guess to the googles!
ETA - no, I guess they were viable with a timer device.

Lacking the skill herself doesn’t mean she isn’t a willing stooge for someone that does. (I can absolutely see her easily manipulated into it as some sort of idiotic “patriotic duty” thing.)

Can I keep my fantasy of MTG eventually blowing herself up by accident for just a little longer?

Well, that was quite a lesson in the dangers of hyperbole. That tweet’s not even close to the conclusion reached in the linked article. Let’s see - Gorelick was one of multiple people interviewed, one of a few selected for quotes by the authors of the article (no idea why, but I can guess), and this tweet is casting that person as “guiding the official narrative.”
