NBC NEWS: Jack Smith’s final report “said that Trump ‘inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence’ by spreading ‘demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false’ claims about the 2020 election.”

People do weird things, but once again for the people in the back:

It doesn’t make a lot of sense that a Joe Biden supporter would try to interfere with the certification of his election win.

Watch this space.

Interpretations of the video differed wildly: Cotton said he “saw two survivors trying to flip a boat, loaded with drugs bound for the United States, back over so they could stay in the fight.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Jim Himes, Democrat of Connecticut, called it “one of the most troubling things” he has seen as a lawmaker.

“This should be the end of this case. If they continue, undeterred by a court ruling and a grand jury’s rejection of the charges, it will be a shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

By law, the Department of Justice CAN go to another grand jury and try again. But even if they succeed (a big IF in this case), the DOJ will have handed Letitia James even more evidence for her vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss the charges. And that motion was already quite strong.

“It’s alarming and insulting that Fake News NBC would compare an individual who placed live bombs throughout DC to the countless individuals who were over-prosecuted and targeted by a weaponized Biden DOJ. This false equivalence is one of the many reasons why trust in the media is at an all-time low.” Abigail Jackson WH Spokeswoman

In its chaotic Jan. 6 probe, the FBI wrongly questioned a Biden staffer about Capitol pipe bombs
A Capitol rioter yelled the name "John Richter" on the floor of the Senate. Months later, the FBI showed up at the wrong John Richter's house.

NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.
Statement from Peter Koski, attorney for Jack Smith: “Nearly six weeks ago Jack offered to voluntarily appear before the House Judiciary committee in an open hearing to answer any questions lawmakers have about his investigation into President Trump's alleged efforts to unlawfully overturn the election results and retention of classified documents. We are disappointed that offer was rejected, and that the American people will be denied the opportunity to hear directly from Jack on these topics. Jack looks forward to meeting with the committee later this month to discuss his work and clarify the various misconceptions about his investigation.”

At least initially, the alleged National Guard shooter is charged with murder (and other crimes) in D.C. Superior Court.

If they stay on this path and don't go federal, they'd avoid potential issues over whether the National Guard was lawfully deployed in D.C.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino used to call Miranda Devine “one of the best reporters in the business.”

Today, after a critical New York Post story, he calls her “Deep-state Devine.”
