January 6th White House Logs Show 7-Hour Gap
March 29, 2022 at 7:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol that were turned over to the House select committee show a gap in President Donald Trump’s phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the building was being violently assaulted,” the Washington Post reports.

If DOJ investigates Trump, oh my, that will be the end of the Republic.

Never mind the fact that if we don't bring him to justice, he'll destroy the country, but at least we didn't make any waves. Let's just drink the kool aid and go to sleep, there, there, let's close our eyes.

But not to worry the cell phone calls to the White House from the US Capitol and from the likes of
Roger Stone, Gen. Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Erik Prince have been gotten.

We know Sean Hannity called the White House during the attempted violent coup too.



It is long past time for Merrick Garland to bring in TFG for questioning.

The record exists. Even if you trace possible callers. A good investigative team can put it together, burner phones and all. Meanwhile Trump is breaking more laws. Isn't time to put this criminal behind bars?

I just retired from teaching high school, and if there's one thing those kids taught me is that anyone over 40 has no idea how sophisticated tech is today. These crusty old men & women (I can call them that...I'm 73 ) think that because they deleted it on their device, it's gone.

But even given that, do they really think 7 1/2 hours of missing information was just going to be viewed as a big "oops"? Just move along, nothing to see here? Joe may have been talking about Putin, but he could've been talking about the seditionists in Congress who are wrapped up in this. They have to be removed from power.

Tue Mar 29, 2022, 08:47 AM
Mar 2022

Sen. Elizabeth Warren focused on questions about Wray’s independence from President Donald Trump.

“Christopher Wray is a thoughtful and experienced individual, and it is my strong hope that he will prove to be an independent FBI Director who places the rule of law above all other considerations,” the Massachusetts Democrat said in a statement to CQ Roll Call. “The FBI already has an acting director, however, and I cannot in good conscience support the confirmation of a replacement handpicked by the same president who fired former Director Jim Comey in part for refusing to pledge his personal loyalty, and who has continued to launch almost daily attacks on the integrity of the acting FBI Director and the Justice Department itself simply for doing their jobs.”

Would it be "problematic"?

Certainly not Trump.
This is another major crime Trump wil get away with Scott free.

It’s infuriating that he gets away with everything and even crimes that they have clear evidence of will not be prosecuted.
I’ve seen no indication that he will be prosecuted by anyone. Especially since NY will let him slide. Whoever decided not to prosecute him may go to jail but Trump will remain free,

I fear he may be our president again. I know it’s impossible for all kinds of reasons but that’s what we said before. Now he has a huge corrupt Republican machine behind him in many states so don’t count him out.

Tue Mar 29, 2022, 10:22 AM

asking for Tommy Tuberville. Mike Lee is the guy who wanted Trump to replace Comey with Merrick Garland, instead Trump picked Chris Wray.

Someone other than Sheldon Whitehouse needs to start taking a look at the Federalist Society. We know that the Federalist Society picks Republican SC justices, it appears it also picks FBI Directors. We also know that dark money from American oligarchs funds the Federalist Society and we know that it even wrote the anti-voter laws throughout the country. It would not be out of the question to assume that the Federalist Society had a hand in the attempted coup.

The center of corruption in the GQP seems to be located at the Federalist Society. Leonard Leo should be a person of interest.

Twelve years as a stooge, do-nothing FBI director.

Does that make sense? Why would he take a job as FBI director and then do nothing, if the AIM was not to do nothing?

Every appointment Trump made was suspicious.

There really are no more surprises. TFG has given all the evidence anyone could need through verbal confessions to the world. I really don’t understand what else is needed to haul him in. I think this is what is so unsettling to us—“we the people”— who care about our Democracy.

Some have said it’s a matter of timing.
It also sounds like there is some need
to get to the bottom of ALL of it. Is that even possible. Is that even necessary?
At some point it feels like it gets worse each passing day because without justice, it continues.

And now TFG is going again after Hunter Biden. How much can he take before justice functions the way it is supposed to?
