US Person is never surprised by the depth of denial and outright arrogance of the people who did Trump's bidding in his desperate attempt to steal the 2020 election. Authoritarians seem especially adept with the trick US Person calls the 180 degree deflection. An example: the slogan "stop the steal" bellowed by the insurrectionists at the Capitol is completely false when applied to Democrats, but completely true if you applied it to Repugnants. It was only the Loser in Chief who was trying to steal the election. His TV attorney, Rudy Giuliani, even put pressure on local election officials to turn over allegedly fraudulent voting machines to his supporters. He tore up and flushed White House documents, some of them classified, that he had removed to Mar-a-Lago, illegally. The National Archives found them pieced together with tape when they were returned by the deranged former guy. People have been criminally prosecuted for less, just ask former lawyer, Sandy Berger. See Presidential Records Act of 1978. Somebody should wake the Attorney General, or has the entire coup attempt become jjust another DC political clusterf--k? If DOJ will not act, we should ask the Soup Police to save democracy!
This week, former trade advisor, Peter Navarro, refused to cooperate with the House Select Committee, which promptly issued him a subpoena to testify. He is claiming executive privilege when he has already revealed much of the material the Committee wants to hear about in his tattletale book. Ever hear of waiver, Mr. Navarro? Navarro has already wrote that he, "spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It [the Green Bay Sweep] started out perfectly." He was responsible for authoring a playbook on alleged election fraud with subtitles like, “The Immaculate Deception, “The Art of the Steal,” and, “Yes, President Trump Won.” He told the Committee to talk to Trump's lawyers about his testifying. That ploy is not going to work. Undoubtably he will be cited for contempt of Congress after calling the Committee, "domestic terrorists"--more 180 degree bull. Contempt apparently knows no bounds of propriety with Mr. Navarro. He was given until February 23rd to comply with legal process. Meanwhile, other former White House staffers like Sarah Mathews and Kayleigh McEnany are cooperating with congressional investigators. Over 500 interviews have been conducted so far. Drip, drip, drip goes the truth.
