Jeffrey Clark: Federal investigators searched the home of the former Trump Justice Department official, who was central to an unsuccessful effort to strong-arm the nation’s top prosecutors into supporting claims of election fraud.
Or, more accurately and more to the fucking point:
to strong-arm the nation’s top prosecutors into supporting false (disproven, debunked, unfounded, baseless, lying, etc.) claims of election fraud.
WTF? Paper of record…
And I was taking careful notes:
It’s all a big diversion from Biden’s many failures, weak Biden’s many impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors including lying, unprovoked war in Ukraine, out of control inflation and skyrocketing gas prices…
I plead the fifth and führerworte haben gesetzeskraft!!!
Breaking news, as we wait for hearing involving this same Trump co-conspirator

After the Civil War, Lincoln’s successor, Andrew Johnson, pardoned all former Confederate leaders and resisted Congressional efforts at Reconstruction, the intended remaking of the former Confederacy into a free labor society. This meant laborers would be free to work for the highest bidder, (though, of course, no labor unions — Socialism!). Not that the highest bidders’ bids were high, but the conditions and pay, and the promise of owning land, were infinitely better than slavery, particularly the especially vicious American variant.
Reconstruction lasted throughout the two terms of Ulysses S. Grant’s presidency and real change was briefly accomplished. Three Constitutional amendments and several powerful laws, with federal enforcement, brought about a short period of freedom for Black Americans, who held majorities in more than one Southern state, voted in large numbers and elected Blacks to represent them in Congress.
Southern whites naturally decried the federal intervention to enforce the freedom amendments, including voting rights, as Bayonet Rule and continued to be outraged by the federal clamp down on the Ku Klux Klan, which had impeded southern style law enforcement for righteously terrified whites.
.
As you might suspect, Reconstruction ended abruptly, and White Supremacy was restored, pursuant to a famous compromise to settle the contested election of 1876. Here’s Andrea Bernstein on the Hayes-Tilden Compromise:
The great-granddaughter of a Black congressman from South Carolina, voted out as soon as South Carolina whites regained control and Black voting disappeared for a century, continues, eloquently and poignantly. History can break your fucking heart.

Закрыть??? Seriously?
The representative’s name is Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.). Mr. Loudermilk denies the J6 Select Committee ever asked him to talk about the January 5, 2021 tour he conducted of the tunnels, hallways, security checkpoints and staircases under the Capitol complex. He said he’d have gladly answered their questions about the tour he already denied giving, before remembering he did show a Georgia family with kids and red hats around the underbelly of the Capitol the day before the riot, plus a guy he didn’t know.
And they took pictures, of course, as tourists do. On a day that the Capitol was locked down to the public, due to Covid and heightened security for the joint session of Congress the next day, the last formality before the peaceful transfer of power, hallmark of American democracy, contested by Trump.
Sadly, the guy Congressman Loudermilk didn’t know was enthusiastic about the prospect for violence at the Capitol on J6 and a buddy immortalized him for Facebook on J6, in a bouyant mood, carrying a spear-tipped flag pole, on his way to Pelosi’s office, happily talking about the asses he was soon going to be kicking.
This is why Bill Barr is one of the most despicable and rightfully hated of Trump’s bullying enablers. To save his skin, the most corrupt AG in American history quit right before the armed attack on the Capitol. Then stayed silent about what he knew to be a supremely destructive Big Lie (that he was instrumental in spreading). Now he poses as a voice of reason, an honest arbiter of who is detatched from reality. Here he was, authoritatively spreading disinformation for the entire year before the 2020 election, soundbite courtesy of Fox News.
Check out the mendacious partisan’s short, pure bullshit resignation letter, shortly before the planned Hail Mary violence to overturn the nonfraudulent election :
