Less Noticed Portion of DC Appellate Court Ruling: Court: White House “Directly Linked” to Attack

Last week, this site reported on the fact that there was a fight between the NYT and Steve Bannon’s defense team over whether the court had a duty to release the documents that the Select Committee provided to the court demonstrating a need to interview Bannon and the basis for the contempt charge.

.......

The government would have had to provide similar documents to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in demonstrating why President Biden should determine what materials are or are not protected by executive privilege. We cannot know whether the documents or information are of the type that is already floating around the media ecosystem or secret information held tightly by the Select Committee as their work product. We can only know that the documentation was enough for the DC Court of Appeals to draw a straight line between the Trump White House and the attack on the Capitol.

At first glance, this direct line may seem somewhat obvious, but courts often keep rulings so tightly written that it’s nearly impossible to get their overall impression, and that would be especially true in a politically charged case that involves Trump’s role in the January 6th attack and how it relates to executive privilege.  But this Court left little doubt that it saw a straight line.

The court wrote: (Entire Opinion in pdf)


“Then-President Trump called for his supporters to gather in Washington, D.C. for a ‘wild’ response to what he had been alleging for months was a stolen election. On January 6th, President Trump directed his followers to go to the Capitol and ‘fight’ for their Country with the aim of preventing Congress’s certification of the electoral vote.”

1. Only ones that can't seem to draw a straight line to the WH are the crooks in the MSM that

only see unconnected dots…they choose to be coconspirators by silence.

So obvious by now it’s painful to watch.

3. Yes, sir. A torrent soon even the most head in the sand media can not ignore or deflect.

4. Interesting, I remember the coverage on the 6th, and as I recall, it was all Antifa doing it.

Everywhere you turned it was Antifa attacking our capitol. Antifa making patriots look bad. Antifa ruining everything. Then it got weird and despite being certain every bad person damaging the capitol was secretly antifa, the Republicans all wanted no investigation into the evil things antifa did.

Now it seems that all these antifa people were for Trump's takeover and the end of democracy and they were all members and leaders of groups like the Proud Little Boys and Oath Creepers.

It is almost as if the whole antifa thing was made up and that all the conservative news sources were full of lies and trying to help overthrow our nation.

5. I don't recall that but then I was not watching in the early afternoon. Plus, when I did watch,

it was CNN.
