Episode notes
Trump's Accidental Admission
- Michael Popok argues Trump's call to jail Nancy Pelosi implicitly admits crimes occurred on January 6th.
- That admission contradicts Trump's repeated claims that January 6th was a peaceful protest and therefore creates damaging evidence.
Commander-in-Chief Responsibility
- Popok points out only the president could call the National Guard, making Trump's blame of Pelosi legally misplaced.
- This shifts responsibility for the delayed response squarely onto Trump's inaction as commander in chief.
Pelosi's Comment Misread
- Popok clarifies Pelosi's HBO comment was about post-attack responsibility, not authority to call the Guard.
- He frames her remarks as adult accountability for security failures, not as criminal initiation.
