Who is on John Eastman's pardon list & why did Sen. Grassley say he, not Pence, would preside on 1/6
The January 6 select committee public hearings have been providing lots of information and answers demonstrating former President Donald Trump's criminal responsibility for the insurrection. But there are still many unanswered questions.
This video takes up two of those questions:
1. Trump's treasonous lawyer John Eastman said he wanted his name to be included on the "pardon list" that was being discussed. Here is some of what we need to know about that pardon list.
2. Why did Senator Charles Grassley say he "did not expect Mike Pence to preside" over the count of the electoral collage votes on January 6. Here is what we need to know about this bizarre and troubling announcement by Grassley.

Judge Luttig, darling of the right, says Trump "clear+present danger." Trump proves it in TN speech
Two highlights from the most recent January 6 committee public hearings include 1. the revelation that former President Donald Trump's enraged mob was just 40 feet away from Mike Pence as the former Vice President was being whisked to safety by Secret Service officers, and 2. the testimony of retired federal court judge J. Michael Luttig, a darling of Republican Party, said that Donald Trump and his supporters still "represent a clear and present danger to democracy."
In his recent speech to an evangelical group in Tennessee, Donald Trump ridiculed, demeaned and mocked Mike Pence for not overturning the election results on January 6, 2021, proving Judge Luttig's point - Trump remains a clear and present danger to democracy.

Trump pressuring Mike Pence to overturn election results is additional evidence of Trump's treason
The evidence is mounting that Donald Trump not only obstructed an official proceeding and conspired to commit offenses against the United States, as federal judge David Carter found (by a preponderance of the evidence), and not only incited an insurrection, and not only is part of a seditious conspiracy, but that he also "levied war against the United States", which constitutes the crime of treasons (18 USC section 2381).
The evidence of Trump's pressure campaign, attempting to coerce then -Vice President Mike Pence to corruptly overturn the election results, is further evidence on Trump's treason.

J6 Committee reveals evidence behind Trump's "Big Lie" crimes: The Big Lie includes The Big Rip Off
We have always known what Donald Trump said and did in his statements his speeches and his tweets - insisting that the only way he could lose the election is it it was "rigged." But thanks to the evidence revealed by the J6 House slect committee public hearings, we know know the private conversations - or, by another name, the evidence - behind the lies. And the liberal progression of Trump's criminal scheme to is as obvious as it is incriminating.
Here's the breakdown of this dramatically incriminating evidence.

Day 1 of J6 insurrection hearings: the curtain pulled back on Trump's treason. A recap & breakdown
The opening of the January 6 select committee public hearings was dramatic and horrifying and impactful and enlightening.
This video takes on the following topics:
1. Why did the committee start with a video clip of Bill Barr's testimony?
2. What are the implications of Rep. Scott Perry and other Republican members of Congress seeking pardons for their conduct in connection with the events of Jan. 6?
2. What was the import and impact of Ivanka Trump's testimony that she credited Bill Barr that there was no election fraud over her father's claim that there was?
3. What is the legal and practical significance of Trump refusing to call off the attack and refusing to call for reinforcements to be sent to the Capitol to repel the attack?
4. What are the implications of former Vice President Mike Pence stepping into the void left by Trump and ordering reinforcements to go to the Capitol?
5. What are the consequences of Jared Kushner's testimony that he essentially ignored the threatened resignation of White House Counsel Pat Cipollone because Kushner was too busy cranking out as many pardons as possible before Trump left office.
And more.

Preview of J6 committee public hearings: what do we expect to see & what happens after we see it?
The congressional select committee investigating the insurrection has taken the testimony of more than 1000 witnesses in its determination to get to the bottom of the insurrection. Even before the first witness testifies publicly, the country owes a huge debt of gratitude to Chairman of the committee Rep. Bennie Thompson, vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, and all the members of the committee and their investigative staff, for their efforts to pull back the curtain on Trump's treason.
Now, the American people have an opportunity to take a seat in the front row of the jury box and assess the evidence against Donald Trump and his lackeys, lapdogs, criminal associates and yes, co-conspirators. When all the evidence is in, it's very likely that the jurors - we the people - will be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, that Trump and company committed crimes against the United States. The only thing left will be for the Department of Justice to indict and take to trial the people who committed those crimes.
Will the DOJ indict the criminal politicians and others who attacked our democracy? Well, here's what happens if the DOJ declines to indict them.

Grand jury subpoenas Navarro, confirming criminal investigation of Trump; Trump feels the squeeze in GA too
In a dramatic new development, a federal grand jury investigation the insurrection subpoenas Peter Navarro, a former aide to Donald Trump. The subpoena requests evidence of all communications Navarro had with Donald Trump involving what happened on January 6. This news, reported by Kyle Cheney of Politico, makes clear that the Department of Justice is directly investigating the crimes of Donald Trump.
Trump is evidently feeling the squeeze, including in connection with the criminal investigation of his Georgia state election crimes, as was set out in a tweet my Representative Adam Kinzinger.
These and other recent revelation make clear that the investigative circle continues to tighten about Donald Trump.

Trump offered Kellyanne Conway an unsolicited blanket pardon. Let's talk Rudy/Don Jr./Ivanka/Jared
Kellyanne Conway is out hawking a book. In an article in the Washington Post by Ashley Parker (like below), we learned that Donald Trump offered Conway an unsolicited blanket pardon. This leads to the reasons inference that, if Trump offered HER a pardon, he almost certainly gave pardons to others - Don Jr., Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Rudy Giuliani and likely others.
In some new reporting by Hugo Lowell of the Guardian (link below), it appears that Giuliani did not invoke his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination during his nine hours of testimony before the House select committee investigating the insurrection. The Conway revelation sheds some light on why Giuliani may have felt comfortable testifying before the House select committee apparently WITHOUT invoking his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination.
This extended Justice Matters video discusses the intersection of the presidential pardon power, the constitutional right against self-incrimination and how a pardon can impact a witnesses decision whether to testify or not impacts the legal options a witness has when called to testify.
This video also goes through the ins and out of presidential pardons - what we know about them and what questions can not be answered definitively because the questions have never been presented to a court.

Elon Musk wants Trump back on Twitter, saying that Twitter's ban was a "morally bad decision."
It's no surprise that Elon Musk just announced that he will reverse the ban of Donald Trump once he owns Twitter. But what actually is pretty shocking was the reason Musk said he was so offended when Twitter banned Trump: because it was a "morally bad decision." This video takes on the absurdity of that claim.
The American oligarchs really do want the American people to believe up is down, darkness is light and insurrection is patriotism. And morality is immorality.
