I noticed on MSNBC they said Trump had issued a response, but they were not going to show it. Only said "It's about what you would expect from him".

Were the press unwilling to cover it?
Was he afraid of bad ratings?
Did his lawyers convince him not to?

I am reminded that Merrick Garland prosecuted the Unibomber and Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. No leaks, no appeals.

I'm sure the videos will be posted on DU. Also Check the MSNBC website and probably CNN. They'll have the full videos of both speeches posted on there.

almost explicitly call Trump a Domestic Terrorist? that speech was as damning as it gets. Didn't think Biden had it in him

Garland makes his Rule of Law speech yesterday.

Biden makes his "Trump is a Liar" speech today.

Now we have media reactions for the next several days.

It's part of the build-up to the J6 Committee's televised hearings.

Those hearings will be a daily beat-down of Trump and his GOP sycophants, and their diabolical attack on democracy.

In part, this sequence will pull at least 5-7% of the Trump voters away from him and his new GOP-- maybe more. This projected change will likely translate into a Democratic landslide in the mid-terms.

Then there will be the DOJ working its way up the ladder to indictments of Trump and his inner circle.

Yeah. I know it sounds too fantastical to be real. But just "follow the bouncing ball."

For example Biden came right out and called Chump a liar - numerous times! Yes Biden made some very strong statements this morning, it was really something. Nothing was over the top though. I'm sure the text was thoroughly vetted before he gave his speech. Joe did a really nice job I thought.

Kamala also gave a fine "warm-up" speech this morning too.

I needed it too. I was afraid the general public had already moved on. We truly need to keep this in the forefront and from what I heard from President Biden today, I think this is far from over.
