Ronna McDaniel is gaslighting pretty hard.

The guy who was photographed at Nancy Pelosi's desk in her office has a trial date: Beginning September 6. https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/trial-date-set-for-richard-barnett

Is this the first case to go to trial instead of being plea bargained? Hope they can get this guy hard, I've read his charges could add up to 20 years.

It’s wrong to say we believe the Jan 6th attacks are legitimate political discourse
Literally the next post, the Jan 6th attacks were legitimate political discourse

There are trials scheduled as early as this month.  This looks like the first one:

The first trial, set to begin on Feb. 24, will focus on Robert Gieswein of Colorado, a self-proclaimed militiaman charged with assaulting officers with a chemical spray.

Water is wet... it's obvious he enjoyed what happened that day. It just won't change single mind in this country.

Truly Orwellian statement considering Pelosi was calling for the National Guard and Trump lackeys in the Pentagon were blocking their deployment.

Hell I spent all those years in the Army and never realized the Speaker of the house was commander in chief!

White House records obtained so far by January 6 committee show no record of calls to and from Trump during riot

White House call records now in possession of congressional investigators do not reflect calls made to or from then-President Donald Trump as the violence unfolded on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, leaving them with gaps so far in their understanding of what transpired that day, three sources familiar with the House investigation into the insurrection tell CNN.

The records the House select committee has obtained do not contain entries of phone calls between the president and lawmakers that have been widely reported in the press. Trump was known to make calls using personal cell phones, which could account for those.

Two of the sources, who have also reviewed the presidential diary from that day, say it contains scant information and no record of phone calls for several hours after Trump returned to the Oval Office after giving a speech to his supporters at the Ellipse until he emerged to address the nation in a video from the Rose Garden.

Republicans lack the imagination to invent crimes to falsely accuse their opponents, so they instead project their own onto them.

It's amusing how Navarro thinks going on TV helps his case.

The bolded part is exactly the problem.

Jan 6th became a cultural war. Red meat for both bases. Of course, bashing Jan 6th on TV helping his case.

Giuliani in Talks to Testify to House Jan. 6 Panel

Maybe Trump will end up regretting not paying Rudy.

Trump Organization's accounting firm says 10 years of financial statements are unreliable

Former President Donald Trump's long-time accounting firm informed the Trump Organization last week that it should no longer rely on nearly 10 years' worth of financial statements and that they would no longer be their accountants, citing a conflict of interest.

"We have come to this conclusion based, in part, upon the filings made by the New York Attorney General on January 18, 2022, our own investigation, and information received from internal and external sources," Mazars wrote in a letter to the Trump Organization chief legal officer, advising them to no longer rely on financial statements ending June 2011 through June 2020.

"While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances, we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate."

The company also advised the Trump Organization to inform any recipients of the statements, such as lenders or insurers, to not rely on the statements.

This will be Trump's next defense: "You can't trust any of those records Mazars turned over to Congress and the New York DA.  They admitted themselves they're unreliable!"  Bank on it.
