In a way, the recent revelations about expunged text records show an even bigger threat than J6.

We need to see to it that anyone, anyone at all at the three agencies who had any chance of stopping that crime is stripped of duty and disqualified for any government position, right down to mail carrier.

Remember his emotional “I’m done” speech on the floor of the senate?

I think one could reasonably assume that speech implied he was done trying to help trump overturn the election.

Let's see, got to mark off two weeks on my calendar.

Secret Service Provides Cellphone Numbers to Jan. 6 Panel
The Secret Service provided the Jan. 6 panel a list of agency-issued cellphone numbers, for the period it is investigating, belonging to agents in Washington, D.C., ABC News reported.

The move is an attempt to show the agency's cooperation with the committee investigating last year's insurrection and the role then-President Donald Trump played in it.

The panel can now decide which agents' call records they want to review. If the panel decides to do so, it now can request the call records directly or issue a subpoena from the agents' cellphone providers.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security inspector general responsible for the Secret Service also has acquired a listing of cellphone numbers. Inspector General Joseph Cuffari's office is conducting its own investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

As ABC News reported, both DHS and the Secret Service have faced criticism recently related to the deleted text messages of agents who were around the events of Jan. 6.

Congressional Democrats have lobbed accusations at Cuffari for disregarding efforts to obtain text and phone records from that day.

Recently, a Secret Service spokesperson acknowledged that the agency lost some cellphone data from January 2021 after a pre-planned data transfer.

Jan. 6 committee acquires Alex Jones’s texts: report
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol has reportedly obtained text messages from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after his legal team accidentally sent two years of his phone records to attorneys in a defamation case against him.

CNN reported on Monday that the texts had been turned over by the lawyer who represented parents of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim, who were awarded $45.2 million in punitive damages in their civil trial against Jones.

Jones had pushed the conspiracy theory that the 2012 shooting that killed 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax, and that the parents were “crisis actors.”

The Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed Jones in November of last year for his alleged role in planning and funding the events that transpired that day.

He appeared for a deposition, but said that he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent “almost 100 times.”

The committee has accused Jones and other right-wing figures of stoking the rioters leading up to and during the Capitol breach, as well as peddling former President Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Jones breached the restricted area on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, though he didn’t go into the building.

The exact dates of Jones’s phone records aren’t yet clear, but the committee has expressed interest in what Jones may have said in texts leading up the the attacks.

A spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee declined to comment on whether the texts had been received.

The Hill has also reached out to the Justice Department and the Sandy Hook parents’ attorney, Mark Bankston.

Georgia DA rejects Giuliani effort to postpone Aug. 9 grand jury appearance
The Atlanta-area district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election is insisting that Rudy Giuliani appear for a grand jury interview Tuesday, rejecting his effort for a last-ditch postponement that Giuliani said is the result of a medical procedure.

“We do not consent to change the date,” Will Wooten, an assistant district attorney in Fulton County, wrote to Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, in an Aug. 2 email revealed in court filings Monday. “We expect to see your client before the grand jury on August 9, 2022, here in Atlanta.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney scheduled an emergency hearing for Tuesday afternoon to discuss the matter.


The exchange between Giuliani and the District Attorney’s Office shows the urgency behind District Attorney Fani Willis’ quickly unfolding investigation, which has led to a torrent of subpoenas for figures in Trump’s inner circle in recent weeks, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and attorneys John Eastman and Cleta Mitchell.

Giuliani was ordered by a New York state judge to appear for the Aug. 9 grand jury interview last month, after he failed to appear at a hearing to challenge the subpoena. But Giuliani made an emergency motion on Monday to postpone his hearing, saying a recent medical procedure left him unable to fly for several weeks. Giuliani cited an Aug. 2 letter from his doctor, Eric Neibart, saying he was “not yet cleared for air travel” after his surgery. He said in a court filing accompanying the motion that he had offered the district attorney to testify remotely, as he did in May before the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

“It is important to note here that Mr. Giuliani is [in] no way seeking to inappropriately delay, or obstruct these proceedings or avoid giving evidence or testimony that is not subject to some claim of privilege in this matter,” Costello said in the motion for a postponement. “Stated another way, he is and has been willing to cooperate in this matter subject to any ethical obligations that may preclude that cooperation.”
But the District Attorney’s Office sharply rejected Giuliani’s effort. In a response to his motion, Willis’ office said Giuliani had recently traveled to New Hampshire — a trip Giuliani said was by car, not plane. Notably, the DA’s office said it had “obtained records” that show Giuliani made a mid-July purchase of “multiple airline tickets with cash, including tickets to Rome, Italy, and Zurich, Switzerland, for travel dates ranging between July 22, 2022, and July 29, 2022.”

“All of these dates were after the Witness’s medical procedure,” Willis said in the filing.
Asked about the airline records, Costello said Giuliani “did not and has not flown anywhere following his surgery.”
“I am looking into this allegation and we will have more to say later today or tomorrow,” he added.
Giuliani also claims that the reason he missed the July 13 court date to challenge the issuance of the subpoena was also the result of his recovery from the medical procedure. The New York Post reported that Giuliani underwent heart stent surgery on July 5.

Seach warrant at Mar Logo, Trump says they had an "army" going through the place. I'd say the shit just hit the fan for Donald and it is getting real.

FBI raids Mar-a-Lago: Trump said his home was 'under siege by large group of agents who even broke into my safe'

Donald Trump says his Mar-a-Lago home has been raided by the FBI.

'These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,' he said in statement Monday night.'

'After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.'

It is unclear what the raid is for, what kind of warrant is being executed and what agents are seeking.

Trump said: 'It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections.

'Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.

'Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.

'They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.'
