Just like we found out, in trump's peanut brain, he made Jeffrey Clark Acting AG, he put Powell in charge of a Special Counsel, with security clearance!

AAAAAaaaaand, just like that, it was gone. I think of how that made him feel...and smile.

The wife, also watching: "Hey, isn't that one of the ones you were following way back when?" Why yes, yes it is.

I rest my case that the country should have been paying close attention to the extremism of the west.

Stephen Ayres approached each of the Capitol Police officers in attendance and apologized to them.

Mixed feelings. Good, but he should be prostrating himself while tongue polishing their functional yet affordable boots. And I hope he goes to jail too. Also. Police were permanently disabled. Officers died.

This I'm really curious about. I want an explanation if and how Chain of command was broken to let Pence order the guard in.

Yeah, that should be interesting. I suspect it will be mundane, that after four years of tfg, they were used to not paying attention to his pronouncements (or lack thereof) and it was just par for the course. To continue my metaphor, hopefully that was the 18th hole.

An outsiders view: Pence was VP. I guess there are processes in place where the VP can take over, like when the potus is incapacitated. Like here unwilling to take urgent action. The VP was in the center of the event. I guess the command of the National Guard was aware of what was happening with tv everywhere. If they had doubt they will have asked the DOD for confirmation.

That's why I'm curious to see this unveiled. Yes the DC guard was delegated authority to the DoD who in turn gave it to the Secretary of the Army I think by EO under Truman? But I doubt they would have made that call. Usually the 25th would have to be invoked or there would need to be a letter signed to transfer power temporarily like when the President is having surgery. So the question is how did this work?

Trump was deep outside the red stakes, looking for his ball. Pence was on the green, putting out.

Hypothetical situation: Liz Cheney is the judge, Jaime Rasken is the prosecutor, and your defense attorney is Sidney Powel - now what?

You do not pass go, you do not collect $200, you go directly to jail.

Pence called Mark Milley and acting Sec Def directly when he was in the parking garage and told them put this riot down now.

The media has become pawns of the Unselect Committee. Liz Cheney continues to traffic in innuendos and lies that go unchallenged, unconfirmed, but repeated as fact because the narrative is more important than the truth.

This came out really early on, IIRC before the second impeachment. To my knowledge, no one has fully explored the implications vis-a-vis chain of command.
