It’s official…..
Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he received a target letter from Special Counsel Jack Smith for his investigation into the events leading to the January 6 insurrection.
Said Trump: “Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment.”
ABC News: “The letter, which sources said was transmitted to Trump’s attorneys in recent days, indicates that yet another indictment of the former president could be imminent — though it is not immediately clear what kind of charges he could ultimately face.”
New York Times: “It is not clear what specific aspect of Mr. Smith’s investigation into the efforts to obstruct the transfer of power that Mr. Trump may be indicted in.”
Note….
It would appear that the DOJ ‘memo’ on no going after people during political activity has been thrown in the garbage….
Trump could involved in criminal and civil court appearance from NOW thru ALL of next year…..
Keith says
But, but, we were told January 6th was in the rear view mirror, remember? Not only were we told this, but our host doubled down on his dismissal of the Republican attempt to overthrow our government on January 6th.
So happy Jack Smith is on the case and that he doesn’t read this blog.
jamesb says
Keith?
U sound like a whining Kid
Jan6 DID DISAPPEAR…….
The conviction’s got little attention
With the upcoming indictment’s?
It Will be back….
Things changed…..
jamesb says
The Republican members of Congress DID try to forget The events of Jan. 6 …….
The Democrats in the House did Not let them.,…
It got SO BAD that those Republicans began to fight against the efforts ……
Over 1,000 people have been arrested for criminal activity
Donald Trump and now Ron DeSantis have said that they will pardon those actors
Again
The effort to make the events GO AWAY
The BIG CHANGE is the system in the name of the US Justice Department which is about unleash its BIGGEST and Most Important case in Modern America…….
The media has been busy with other things
The Justice Department under Garland and Smith is going to force the events and their goals back into the spotlight
Again?
Republicans and Trump don’t want this at ALL
Keith says
Weak, weak response James. This is yet another example of you typing before you think, not realizing how very important January 6th was to our Democracy.
You appear to forget those hearings and again don’t understand how any of this works.
You can twist and obfuscate all you like James and insult too, doesn’t change the fact that you were completely wrong. But you can’t bring yourself to admit it.
jamesb says
He, he, he…..
My comment WAS correct at the time…..
AGAIN?
Things change….
And the Jan. 6 case and sitaution COULD disappear for a while again…..
My Name Is Jack says
The only thing missing from this tub of irrelevant ,obfuscatory blather is that “ people can be more than one thing” routine!
Drop the lunacy Waldo!
Everyone has seen this silliness before.
Anyone who claims that domestic terrorism of Jan. 6 was in the “rear view mirror “ or such similar word salad shows such a lack of realism as to make anything else they have to say on the subject deserving the ridicule it is receiving presently.
Keith says
It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
The fact you were incapable of seeing how dangerous Jan 6th was then, especially when the majority of the Republicans wanted to overthrow a legitimately elected government, speaks volumes about your ignorance of how government works. And I’m trying to be polite.
My Name Is Jack says
I’ve said many times and will repeat,James really doesn’t understand what has happened to the Republican Party.
He seems to really think that if Trump would just go away, the Republican Party would revert to something like it was about twenty something years ago and that all these nutjobs would fade back into the woodwork.
He doesn’t understand that these kooks are now the “base” of the Republican Party and woe be it to anyone who crosses them.
Democratic Socialist Dave says
If they really wanted it to recede into the rear-view mirror, our Republican friends, like Reps Jordan and Comer, would not be spending this enormous amount of time trying to persecute and remove Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, Jack Smith, et al., et al.
But Mr Trump finds it far more profitable for his ego, his wallet and his popularity with the Base to play the tragic Victim or the Greatest Witch Hunt in American History.
jamesb says
Just checking the daily media and the comments here right now we can see that the Republican Party is one of many faces…….
Even the people running AGAINST Trump are quietly dissing him…….
In countless interviews GOPer’s indicate they say they want LESS OF Trump’s noise….
Trump HAS embraced SOME Republican policies but has be reluctant to embrace others at first bite……
Complaining by the Right Wing Nuts gets him to double down most times……..
The REALITY IS that the wingnuts WILL eventually be casted aside to get legislation passed……
Republicans in Biden and swing states and districts WILL have no choice but to vote for moderate laws and policies…..
SOOOOOO?
In the end/future
The Grand ole Party will resemble what it was before Trump
Else it just screws itself just like Trump is working hard to do to himself
jamesb says
Unlike the media narrative?
I see Trump and crazy shit burning out the end of next year and the Grand ole Party having to deal with the bad dream they have been in for the last few years……
And yes
People
Some are NOT in that dream as i type this…..
They are marginalized right now
BUT?
Yes Jack
‘They ain’t just one thing’……
Heck they can’t even row together…..
One getting kicked out the wingnut House club
Two of the women ring leaders cussing each other?
Trump not happy with a Arizona loser…..
Nope
They ain’t just one thing
jamesb says
Let me also point out that DeSantis has said essentially that Trump fucked up…….
Also?
Christie HAS been saying THAT for a while
Pence didn’t go along with Trump’s wishes
When Trump goes in the toilet in a year or two?
These no convert’s will smile and not have explain themselves
The other’s will be forever making up excuses
My Name Is Jack says
The naïveté of their above three comments is so great I for once am at a loss for words.
Can’t we all just see this great kumbaya moment when all these Republican congresspersons Tearfully confess their sins of backing this criminal for the past seven years as Trump himself rides off into the sunset to the melody of “the cowboy rides away?”
Utter drivel.
jamesb says
Yea but ya said something anyway’s…….
Maybe not down ur way
But the GOPer’s ain’t just one thing in other places……
And yea
Gonna be a Hot Fucking Mess when Donald Trump goes in the Toilet…….
I agree with ya Jack
Going to be a LOT of people Smiling and doing High Fives!
Keith says
Jack is totally correct, James comments are utter drivel and, I would add clueless.
Yesterday he said this might fade away.
Really?
The original comment was, “January 6th is in rear view mirror.”
Clearly that’s not true. Our friend is attempting, through an avalanche of words, to obfuscate this ridiculous statement.
He’s stuck on stupid and illustrating why his blog isn’t more popular.
jamesb says
As soon as the end of the week Jan. 6 will be the HEAD LINES…..
It will have legs fir a few days maybe a week then like EVERYTHING ELSE ?
It WILL fade until the trial…….
Same as it has before
jamesb says
BTW?
The target letter provided a invitation to Donald Trump to appear BEFORE the Grand Jury, something NO ONE would believe loose lips Trump would do…..
My Name Is Jack says
Utter nonsense and laughable obfuscation.
Just because a topic is not on the front page everyday or the lead story on a newscast doesn’t mean it has “ faded” or is in the “rear view mirror.“Such implies that it is no longer of any import.
Indeed the events of Jan 6 remain a continuing issue which is mentioned in most stories about Trump in the media.Even today in the local paper there was a story about a local man just being charged for his actions on that infamous day.
As usual you make a dumb statement originally and, when confronted about it,rather than revise your absurd comment, you doubled down on it.This is typical of you.At various times, you have characterized yourself as” stubborn.”
Your actions bespeak though not mere stubbornness ,but instead to one who simply refuses to revise his views when confronted with his mistaken statements.
Very Republican of you I might add.
Like those kooks and nutjobs your mantra appears to be…
“ Don’t confuse me with the facts!”
Keith says
My thoughts exactly Jack, James does sound like a Republican.
jamesb says
I love U two patting each other on the back while the America moves on with only Smith & Co. Reaching back to meet out ‘Justice’….And the media featuring Trump…..
Keep it up guys
Reality is what it IS……
jamesb says
And WILL KEEP reporting it here
Keith says
How ironic that James references reality.
Reality, January 6th was never in the rear view mirror and now Jack Smith is bringing the crimes associated with that day to court, even though James thought that this effort will fade (I guess because the media isn’t talking about it 24 hours a day).
Just admit you were wrong James.
But you won’t.
jamesb says
Keith ?
Thanks for the laughs….
May the broken record play on…And ON….AND ON!
My Name Is Jack says
The three stages of James…
Stage One…Subject makes a patently absurd statement.
Stage Two…After being called on it,subject makes increasingly ridiculous responses ,often incomprehensible.
Stage Three…Unable to make a coherent response,subject tries to laugh the whole thing off.
Keith says
Just admit you were wrong James.
