    Isn't he Commander-in-Chief of and in the US Military? He gives salutes and is saluted. His lawful orders are to be obeyed by the Military, yes?

    Sure, but that's all ceremonial stuff...

    SNIP
    Is the Commander-in-Chiefship a military or a civilian office in the contemplation of the Constitution? Unquestionably the latter. An opinion by a New York surrogate deals adequately, though not authoritatively, with the subject: “The President receives his compensation for his services, rendered as Chief Executive of the Nation, not for the individual parts of his duties. No part of his compensation is paid from sums appropriated for the military or naval forces; and it is equally clear under the Constitution that the President’s duties as Commander in Chief represent only a part of duties ex officio as Chief Executive [Article II, sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution] and that the latter’s office is a civil office. [Article II, section 1 of the Constitution . . . . ] The President does not enlist in, and he is not inducted or drafted into, the armed forces. Nor, is he subject to court-martial or other military discipline.

    Trust me, I wish it were otherwise for this guy, since court martials are generally faster, more severe, and not subject to oversight by packed civilian courts...

    Here's something to consider while some are building monuments to all of the Republican 1/6 witnesses.

    Almost to a person (I exempt the DOJ people), they each somehow managed to work for the worst, most corrupt administration and person in history, until the bitter end..

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/inspiration-foot-remained-trumpers-almost-202218570.html

    That only makes their testimonies more believable, but the witnesses much less heroic...

    Attorney General Merrick Garland does not rule out prosecuting Trump over Jan. 6. Watch his interview with Lester Holt on 'Nightly News.'

    Attorney General Merrick Garland left open the possibility that former President Donald Trump could be prosecuted in connection with inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection in an exclusive interview Tuesday with NBC News.

    Trump's defense secretary denies there were orders to have 10K troops ready to deploy on January 6
    By Annie Grayer, CNN
    Updated 10:22 PM ET, Tue July 26, 2022

    (CNN)Former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller told the House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection that former President Donald Trump never gave him a formal order to have 10,000 troops ready to be deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to new video of Miller's deposition released by the committee.

    "I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature," Miller said in the video.

    Miller later said in the video definitively, "There was no direct, there was no order from the President."

    Just in case anyone out there hadn't yet figured out that you can't believe one word coming out of the Orange Stain's mouth.

    And now he's spending time (of which he has oodles) and money (RNC money) to prep his defense, before charges are even brought.......

    SNIP
    According to the source, the Trump team has been deliberating if Trump's former advisors — such as Mark Meadows or lawyer John Eastman — could be potential scapegoats.

    "Trump got some terrible advice from attorneys who, some people would argue, should have or must have known better," the source told Rolling Stone. "An 'advice of counsel' defense would be a big one."

    Yeah, it's so sad that he has the RNC paying his legal bills for him. What utter insanity.

    Capitol rioter Guy Reffitt, who was armed with a gun, sentenced to more than 7 years in prison. It's the longest sentence yet in the Jan. 6 cases.

    Guy Reffitt, a Texas man who attempted to storm the Capitol while armed with a gun and zip ties, was sentenced to 87 months in prison on Monday.

    The Justice Department had sought a “terrorism enhancement” for the first time in the Capitol riot prosecutions in Reffitt’s case, but a judge denied that request.

    Trump lawyers in talks with Justice Department about January 6 criminal probe

    Former President Donald Trump's legal team is in direct communication with Justice Department officials, the first sign of talks between the two sides as the criminal probe into January 6, 2021, accelerates, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

    The talks revolve around whether Trump would be able to shield conversations he had while he was president from federal investigators.

    In recent weeks, investigators have moved aggressively into Trump's orbit, subpoenaing top former White House officials, focusing on efforts to overturn the 2020 election and executing searches of lawyers who sought to aid those efforts.

    The Trump team's discussions are with the US attorney's office in Washington, DC, which is in charge of the investigation, and its top January 6 prosecutor Thomas Windom, the sources said. The conversations have not been previously reported.

    If you are talking about the sub 100 IQ troglodyte that murdered Ashley Babbit in cold blood, I agree.

    Listen to this idiot.....
    He speaks gibberish. Even in a heavily coached and scripted interview, he comes off as functionally retarded (this man is nearly as incoherent as Biden). Hilariously he thinks that gunning down an unarmed woman (while risking the lives of the officers within two feet of Ashley) is an act of utmost courage. If he would have hit one of those officers, that would have been an act of utmost courage as well. If that happened, Ashley would have been charged with murder and this mouthbreather would still be a hero. The state needed somebody to die that day so they could call the event "deadly" and that is exactly what they got from this man. This is what heroism looks like to left, anybody who does anything that they can use to accrue more power unto themselves.

    If there were justice in America, this killer would be in a cage. Unfortunately all we get is the narrative and political oppression. We see you.

    This guy has been a go-to guy for quotes during the 1/6 hearings... I'm sure he's still mostly a MAGA goon, but he certainly seems willing on the surface to call out the BS of Clark and Eastman etc...

    "Error"?
    More like 2,000 errors.

    Betcha the imbecile D'Louza who published photos of people and is being sued along with the publisher.
    One of the accused mules ( D'Souza's star) in his film was of a man on a bike who it turned out was dropping off a ballot for a relative.


    Dinesh D'Souza's '2000 Mules' Book Abruptly Postponed Due to 'Publishing Error'
    Source: The Wrap

    snip:


    "Dinesh D’Souza’s book version of “2000 Mules,” based on the film that makes widely debunked claims that people were paid to dump fraudulent ballots at collection boxes in key 2020 election states, was abruptly recalled by the publisher Monday, the eve of its release.

    Regnery Publishing called the move a postponement due to a “publishing error” and said the book would be released in October. When asked, the publisher did not elaborate what kind of error caused the release to be delayed.

    Whatever was deemed a “publishing error” in D’Souza’s book was surely already printed in possibly thousands of copies, however, which would have to be recalled. A Twitter user named Nancy Levine, a self-described author and freelancer, posted screenshots Monday of what she claims were recall notices from book vendors at major retailers."

    D'Souza and whatshername from "True the Vote" put all their rotten eggs in Phillip's basket and came out with 2,000 Mules.
    Greg Phillips is an infamous lying scam artist, sleazebag.
    They all deserve each other and you can throw Mike Lindell into the mix.

    link:
    Dinesh D’Souza Movie Star Booted From Party for Bringing Gun (msn.com)


    snips"
    "On Saturday, Phillips vowed to finally release his information in front of a crowd of more than 100 conservative conspiracy theorists and influencers at an exclusive gathering he dubbed “The Pit.” But what was meant to be Phillips’s moment of triumph ended in disaster, as police ushered Phillips from his own afterparty for bringing a gun and warned him not to return.

    Phillips’ ouster from his event marks the latest blunder for election-fraud conspiracy theorists. For Phillips and his organization, True the Vote, it’s yet another time they’ve tried and failed to prove election fraud.


    The big reveal, however, turned out to be a massive flop, with Phillips merely directing his fans to a partially built website that appears to offer supporters a chance to pay money to see proof of election fraud."

    And today he has stated that he would PARDON everyone innovated in the insurrection................if he runs and if he wins.

    (Heard him say it on CNN.)

    That confirms how lawless he is in his attitude....(this is probably the product of both her resonantly disorder and having gotten away with so much in his life time. (master manipulator)

    He's bound to be feeling pretty desperate at this point, hence this kind of flailing about for support that he's been doing.
