Dark Money Behind the Coup,

Sheldon Whitehouse was on Nicolle Wednesday saying we needed to get dark money out of politics. He said a handful of billionaires own politicians. Whitehouse was on Rachel yesterday and stated that Jeffrey Clark was not smart enough to attempt a coup without help. He then mentioned the words "grand jury" and Jeffrey Clark. He then mentioned that Clark is now working for a Libertarian group "funded by Charles Koch." Is this one of the billionaires that Whitehouse is talking about? Are we starting to see who is behind the scenes of this failed coup? How many politicians does Charles Koch own? Joe Manchin, just a question, but did you accept Koch money?

Drag this Libertarian through the coals, expose this cockroach if he is one of the people behind the curtain.

Then again, maybe I am jumping to conclusions, starved for action and accountability. Getting Jeffrey Clark in front of a grand jury is a huge step forward.

Oh and, LOCK THEM UP.

To me, what Whitehouse said yesterday about grand jury was the best news I have heard since the coup attempt. I mean let's cut to the chase, the select committee can only do so much, it is going to take the involvement of the DOJ and a grand jury is involvement of DOJ.

God I hope that Whitehouse knows something that he can't say.

I mean if a grand jury gets a hold of Jeffrey Clark everything could revolve around his testimony, it could open up the flood gates to more DOJ involvement.

I guess I am the only one who is hyperventilating?

I thought what Whitehouse said last night was a BFD. He said the words grand jury, then gave a wry smile.

I thought there would be more talk today about Jeffrey Clark but I guess the MSM is still controlled by the right wing.

I bet Jeffrey Clark is being talked about by Trump today.
