Is suborning perjury still a thing? ---

I expect not a single person will be convicted, let alone indicted after this report, even after referral to DOJ. This report was written for the history books, to lay out exactly who was/is responsible for the destruction of the country. ---

There is quite a bit of information for the dominion lawsuits in this report. The committee has put together a very well done readable report. ---

Amazon is now selling a [Printed version](The January 6 Report [https://a.co/d/burSMr9](https://a.co/d/burSMr9)) on December 24th. It’s published by Harper and comes in at one pound and 560 pages. It’ll be too late for a Christmas present, but I know someone who has a birthday in January. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > (That would be an epic prank, if a few hundred thousand copies of the report showed up at Mar-a Lago for his birthday.) Ooooo. That would be great. Just need a box with prison bars on it. Or put it in a box in it’s own little prison cell. Don’t include a key. ---

If you order something from Amazon, the return address is Amazon’s, not yours. I know this because I send gifts through Amazon all the time. The only way anyone knows who sent it is if I remember to add gift card instructions. It works that way for a lot of online vendors. Just an FYI. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > The Post office needs a return address for parcels. And if it is not yours, that is mail fraud. I don’t believe that either of those statements are true. At least not in all cases. I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find a way to mail that report, entirely legally, without your return address. ---

I’ve been seeing Mr. Raskin on a lot of the shows talking about the hearings. Why him, in particular? Did he volunteer or is he just more comfortable in front of the camera than, say, Bennie Thompson? ---

Trump has apparently posted a response to the committee’s referrals to DOJ. I say “apparently” because it is embedded in a video from something called Meidas Touch (a commentator I didn’t know about) and he says it was posted on Truth Social. I can’t confirm that. Here is the link, the Trump video starts at about 1:15. The printed comments around the video are from Meidas Touch. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SI8J8F_2DIw/maxresdefault.jpg "Trump records DISGUSTING and DANGEROUS VIDEO THREATENING America") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI8J8F_2DIw) I will say that he looks and sounds more deranged than ever. I didn’t watch the whole posted video, I just couldn’t stand it, but he does jump around from charge to charge and outright lies about pretty much everything. I assume this is targeted at “the base” but I don’t know what good that will do him. ---

Queen Victoria said of Prime Minister Gladstone “He speaks to me as if he were addressing a public meeting.” Having seen this Trump video I know what she means.
