Trump has good reason to be triggered by Jan. 6 commission: Records request suggests a real probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There is so much going on at the moment between the massive spike in COVID due to millions of intransigent holdouts who refuse to get vaccinated and the excruciating events unfolding in Afghanistan that one important story got lost this week: The House January 6th Committee sent letters to eight different government agencies demanding documents and communications regarding administration strategizing to overturn the 2020 election results.

Considering what happened on January 6th and all the open discussions by former President Trump and his allies prior to that date, it's very reasonable to suspect that this evidence exists. But what has surprised people is the sheer scope of their records requests. Here are some examples:

"Documents and communications pertaining to "planning by the White House for legal or other strategies to delay, halt or otherwise impede the electoral count."

There are requests for documents going back as far as April of 2020, prompting MSNBC's Rachel Maddow to ask Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Ms, what lawmakers were looking for. His reply? They have information that he can't go into but which is credible enough that they are seeking evidence to prove it. Recall, April 2020 was about the time that Trump was starting to rail against mail-in voting, following up on his 2016 strategy by laying the groundwork to reject the results of the election unless he was declared the winner. Perhaps Thompson believes this strategy may have been more formal than it seemed?

I'm liking the sound of this. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that the documents are in the possession of the federal government, not Trump and his henchmen and -women, so Trump can file as many lawsuits as he likes but he can't simply withhold the documents.

4. Request communications between the TFG and Louie DeJoy

There is a lot of collusion to breaking the USPS between these 2 crooks and that needs to be fully vetted out.
