Paul1405,

I think this is the end of Trump.

I assume the FBI, CIA, Justice Dept, etc., etc. will all be called in to conduct investigations into crimes against the State.

Everyone tainted by Trump's megalomania will now be up for investigation on what they know about today's insurrection.

I can see even Baron Trump being put under the light: "Where were you on the night of January 6?"

Dear Josephus,

Given what is happening at Capitol Hill at the moment do you feel in any way culpable as part of the malcontents propagating unsubstantiated tripe from groups like the Epoch Times?

As this former KGB operative put it ideological subversion/active measures have been deployed against America:

“to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country”

Of course there has been deep interference by Russia enabled by Trump in the elections, but Trump himself deploys a number of similar techniques albeit less refined. His admiration of Putin has yielded to him a skill set which he has used to turn his standard bluff and bluster into a tool to twist public perception in order to deflect, inflame and incite.

His use of useful idiots in this endeavour has been quite something to see. His ability to take bog standard people and turn them into front line apologists and propagandists is remarkable.

America will need to do far more to secure itself and its institutions against another Trump and entities like the Russians.

Meanwhile I hope you give yourself a chance to reflect on your role in this.

Josephus,

Wait until the Feds come knocking at your door asking questions like "Where were you on the night of January 6?"

I reckon you're a goner.
