So they weren’t peaceful tourists? I’m losing the plot.

(Also, that means he pardoned Antifa, in case anyone cares)

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

The idea that this discussion is just happening now is an idea that originates from the White House and is intended to leave the impression that Team Trump is simply reacting to facts on the ground.

That's a vile lie.

This man and his goons have *always* seen the Insurrection Act as their endgame.

It's so important to nip the framing of this reporting in the bud right now.

Don't accept the narrative that Trump and his team only just started discussing invoking the Insurrection Act. January 6 happened because his White House was in conversation with radicals about what it'd take to invoke it.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Of course, they’re all Jan6ers. They’re felons and could not get jobs. Ice was the perfect solution. Thugs. Chumps thugs.

Fitzgerald is a longtime friend of Comey’s who served as the U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Illinois.

"It's the honor of my life to represent Jim Comey in this matter," he said as he introduced himself at the start of the hearing.

Northern Virginia is the "rocket docket" and does not drag its judicial feet. Comey has top lawyers and the DOJ now has the dregs. This actually should be quite entertaining and should leave Bondi et al. with major egg on the face, if not worse.
