I just hope that some of the boys who are now charged with seditious conspiracy will be offered deals if they agree to give evidence about which politicians/ political operatives they were in contact with, and exactly what the messages were between them and/or offers made to them by these people. Time to go after the bigger fishes. ---

Now you’re getting it. 😉 This is exactly how I expected Garland to proceed. And I do believe we’ll see him move a lot quicker after the January 6th Committee has made its public presentation this week. However, I don’t look for DOJ to move against the biggest fish until after the Committee has formally prepared and made its final report public. I believe that’s due in September. ---

Mysterious hit-and-run accidents, suicides by falling out of tall buildings, etc. If these indicted proud boys have any sense, they (or their lawyers) should have kept any documentary evidence of communications between them and their Republican handlers. ---

I am pretty sure these Proud Boys are not going to be happy to simply take the fall for the higher-ups who directed them. If I recall correctly, Tarrio was already a snitch for the FBI in their investigation. I think the higher-ups have a lot to be worried about. ---

And fuck the proud boys. I didn’t mean to reverse course so far that I changed the subject. Fuck those morons. That’ll teach them to not masturbate. It’s like a game.

I read through the Superceding Indictment to see if Roger Stone would make an appearance. I’d probably say “no”, though there are two persons mentioned who seem like they’re still being eyed by the grand jury. 1. A person who put together the “1776 Returns” document, that explains the layout of the nearby government buildings and details a plan for taking them. 2. A person who hugs Joseph Biggs and (potentially) shows them where to cross the barricades into the restricted zone. That latter could be Stone or Alex Jones. The former seems unlikely to be either and, according to the New York Times, is believed to be Tarrio’s girlfriend. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Not worried about Stone. He’s gone. [Don’t be so sure.](https://www.thedailybeast.com/roger-stone-is-raking-it-in-from-candidates-he-endorses) He’s getting money from candidates for his stamp of approval so they can sway the base and win primaries. He’s basically monetized his longtime loyalty to Trump. Stone will be there (along with cockroaches, Wal-Mart, and Cher) after the nuclear holocaust. ---

Sure, he’s grifting. Grifters gotta grift. Doesn’t look like he’s getting especially rich. I’m sure he can use the money to defend against the many, many, many crimes he commits on an ongoing basis. I do expect him to be charged as a seditious conspirator for his role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Will he elude conviction? I have no idea. It really depends on how far gone our democracy is. On this concern, I would not like to make any bets. Thanks for sharing the link. ---

I don’t think Trump is going down for this. If he goes down, it will be the way Capone did. He has so many lackies to jump in front of bullets for him and always gets someone else to do the real work or make important decisions. But seeing his supporters go down is quite satisfying. ---
