FROM THE TCI WIRE:

We've got a lot to cover but we have to start with one topic. First off, Donald Trump. January 6, 2021. A number of e-mails insist that I'm supposed to defend him and that various people are wrong to argue that he's be removed from the ballot.

Our position on insurrection was: This is a serious charge and based on what was known in the immediate aftermath, I was comfortable -- as someone who studied poli sci as an undergraduate and a graduate and who, as a graduate, emphasized especially revolutions and rebellions -- was comfortable with a rebellion. At that time. Little provided by Congress' nonsense (so-called investigation) persuaded me to change my mind. One periodical that we highlight from time to time jumped the gun. They may have had a 'feeling' but the evidence was not there for the immediate call. We didn't highlight any articles from them in the first three months after January 6th that dealt with what happened for that reason.

We have since had many of Trump's cohorts flip on him. And much more has been uncovered.

I am comfortable with the term "insurrection" being applied now. This was a plot. It was an effort to avoid a duly elected official from being sworn in. The loser (Donald) plotted and lied and put the country at risk -- he put democracy at risk.

Anyone grabbing the vapors, so sorry. Here's Ken Block at USA TODAY yesterday:

In November 2020, former President Donald Trump asserted that voter fraud had altered the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign hired an expert in voter data to attempt to prove Trump’s allegations and put him back in the White House.

I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign.

The findings of my company’s in-depth analysis are detailed in the depositions taken by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6^th Attack on the United States Capitol. The transcripts show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Our findings have also been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith’s federal investigation and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation in Georgia. Those emails and documents show that the voter data available to the campaign contained no evidence of large-scale voter fraud based on data mining and fraud analytics.

More important, claims of voter fraud made by others were verified as false, including proof of why those claims were disproven.

Donald lied repeatedly. He attempted to steal the election. He wanted a riot because that could provide a delay. Go back to the archives, I stated repeatedly that once the electoral college voted, it was over. Whether it was stolen or not, a presidential election ended with the electoral college vote. There is no direct vote for president.

He allowed a riot to take place, he did nothing to stop it. He wanted it to take place and was to slide in his slate of fake electors.

Jacob Miller (TRENDY DIGEST) noted yesterday:

A majority of Americans believe the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot was an “assault on democracy that must not be forgotten,” as per a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll released this week. The poll was conducted Dec. 14-18 and included 1,024 respondents. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

The poll indicates that 55 percent believe the riot was a stark assault on democratic principles, while 43 percent said “too much is being made” of the riot and that it is “time to move on.”

The ramifications of the riot have permeated political discourse and action, as seen in the bold move by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D), who decided to remove former President Trump from the state’s ballot, citing the 14th Amendment. Bellows said she had concluded the former president “over several months and culminating on January 6, 2021, used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.”

What he did was outrageous and illegal. And it was a direct threat to democracy. Yes, he is legally liable for trying to steal the election. If he wasn't, then nothing stops the next president who doesn't want to leave office from doing the same.

I'm taking Shenna Bellows at her word. I believe her. If she's telling the truth, she did her duty.

"Oh! It's going to hurt us!"

What?

Since when are we too chicken to enforce the law.

This is nothing minor. This is huge. A loser refuses to accept the outcome of an election, he plots to install a separate set of electors to vote in the electoral college, he stirs up his supporters with massive lies about his votes not being counted and the election being stolen, he encourages a crowd to come to DC to 'stop the steal,' he stirs them up with a speech and sends them off to Congress, a riot takes place.

In what damn world is that acceptable?

It's not an it was an insurrection and is it is violation of the Constitution -- and not just the 14th Amendment. He violated Article II Section 1 as well as The Constitution's 12th Amendment (the sections on the electors which does not have the president lobbying for an alternate slate.)

Again, some people rushed to conclusions based on the gut. They may have been right, they may have been wrong. We now know a lot more than we did in January of 2021. Donald Trump violated the Constitution in numerous ways.

You break the law, you need to suffer the consequences. That's especially true when you committed a fraud upon the nation in an attempt to hold on to an office that you lost.

He conspired to steal the presidency from the rightful winner, that's a serious crime.

So all the ones wringing their hands now about what effect pulling him from a state's ballot might have? I'm more concerned with the laws that were broken and how ignoring them normalizes Donald Trump's actions for future losers who don't want to leave the White House. That is actually the more serious issue and the one that the government needs to address.

I don't care about the hand wringers. I also don't care about the liars like Jonathan Turley who keep claiming some bad precedent is being set via accountability.

No. When you break the law you should be punished. That's the rule of law. He can lie and distort all he wants but that is how it works and, again, failure to do so would actually set a precedent -- a very bad one. Jonathan's sick in the head and sick in the heart, don't let him deceive you.

As for his and his supporters nonsense of 'double jeopardy' or the issue having been addressed in Congress. The House impeachment was seeking removal from office. That's it. He can face -- and should -- criminal charges and, no, this is not double jeopardy. And, please note, I thought both impeachments were nonsense. I stand by that. But that has nothing to do with facing charges in a criminal court.

Had Nixon not resigned and been impeached that would only have removed from office. Grasp that. Grasp that he resigned to avoid impeachment and he would have faced -- and should have faced -- criminal charges but Gerald Ford pardoned him.

Numerous GOP nominees currently say they will pardon him. That's another reason not to vote for them. That's another reason for me to vote for the Democratic Party nominee whomever it is. (I'm really hoping we'll have a March 31st LBJ repeat but I'm voting Democratic regardless. I've explained why. I'm not telling you how to vote, I'm telling you how I'm voting.)

Donald Trump is not an anomaly and, believe it or not, when it comes to that crazed MAGA crowd, he's actually one of the milder ones. Consequences have to be delivered to send a message to the Marjorie Taylor Greenes and other insane crazies who have their own presidential aspirations.
