The Roadmap
Those of us who are paying attention to the January 6th Committee woke up yesterday to the strategy of these public hearings; well, at least I did. The committee is clearly taking direct aim at TFG, heaping loads of evidence on the facts that he KNEW that he didn’t win; he KNEW there was no fraud that would change the outcome of any state result; HE whipped up The Big Lie and repeats it continuously, even today. We all pretty much knew or suspected that all this lay at TFG’s feet.
However, all this evidence is hard to use to get TFG convicted, much less even charged, so the committee is giving prosecutors a roadmap to get this sumbitch. This roadmap is not going down the insurrection road; it shows the way down the wire fraud road. Testimony revealed yesterday that using The Big Lie TFG raised a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS for the “Election Defense Fund”, which, wait for it…doesn’t and has never existed. The Election Defense Fund was supposedly to be used to fight election fraud lawsuits, but the money didn’t go to that activity. It went, instead, to TFG’s Super PAC, doled out to his hotels, family, and even Jr.’s girlfriend. That’s wire fraud. So now we have not only The Big Lie, we have The Big Grift.
There is clear and ample evidence that TFG and his cronies defrauded millions of supporters, and the good thing about this crime is that the attorneys general in the states where the donors live can also prosecute TFG. On top of all the possible federal cases you can name, this wire fraud charge is serious with heavy penalties and up to 30 years in the slammer. The states have similar penalties.
The committee is drawing the roadmap with turn-by-turn directions, making it easy for the feds to go after TFG and Corruption Inc.. If Garland lacks the will to prosecute, I know a bunch of states with aggressive AGs who would likely be happy to perp walk TFG live on television.
