1. I literally took notes during the Whitehouse segment.

Thank you for the posts!

2. Yikes! Good for you! I agree that this s a complicated issue, but Whitehouse is awfully good

I'm still not sure I completely understand all that went on myself, I didn't even try to keep track of all TFG's "acting" appointments, there were so many, and I watched Rachel's show twice. Glad that this was helpful. Rachel does tackle the most important news stories - and often gets the best guests.

3. My key takeaway,

Whitehouse used the words "grand jury" when talking about Jeffrey Clark. That would be a breakthrough in getting DOJ involved. One doesn't ignore a DOJ summons to appear before a grand jury. Whitehouse also mentioned that he believes that Clark was pushed by possibly a Libertarian group funded by Koch Enterprises. We are starting to dig into who is behind this ongoing insurrection.

This is the best news I have seen in months. It is going to take DOJ involvement to get things done, the select committee will only refer information to DOJ for criminal investigation. Waiting on the select committee to jail and fine people is a losing strategy, IMO. Nail this Jeffrey Clark traitor and nail him hard.

Jeffrey Clark better hire body guards if he is headed to a grand jury. He can shed a lot of bad shit on Trump.

4. Here is what Source Watch says about, The New Civil Liberties Alliance Whitehouse mentions as a

possible source for the Clark memo.

5. Thanks so much for the takeaway, it's become obvious that this committee has gotten serious

I have no doubt that an investigation will uncover unprecedented corruption and malfeasance. And it's certainly long past time. If the Koch organization is involved, which can't be a surprise, it's also past time that they are held accountable. And I agree that this is justice long delayed, they need to move on this now. Trump and his enablers need to learn that they are not above the law.

6. THIS!

We have to examine outfits like Koch. They seem to have been operating for years without any scrutiny.

7. Exactly!

How long have we been talking about their interference? Meanwhile, their operations are spreading, now including Canada as well.
