Jack Smith, hero & truth-teller, makes it clear that Trump (and the others), in trying to overturn the election, was trying to overthrow the government. "Overthrowing the government," to my ears, hits even harder than overturning the election. The election is specific in time, 2020. The government goes back -- way back to 1789.

Jack Smith's deposition is required viewing & needs to be done in a public forum. Like all the other special prosecutors.

"On balance, Congressman Jim Jordan’s 'Weaponization' work is backfiring.

It could also be the Epstein Files. DOJ missed its reporting date to Congress over the weekend, and the full release of the files is still nowhere in sight.

"What is Donald Trump running away from so hard? Is it the fifth anniversary of his January 6 insurrection, which we will mark on Tuesday? It should be.

It could be Jack Smith’s newly released testimony, which is damning and damaging—and we haven’t even gotten the release date of Volume II of his special counsel report, due sometime in February unless Trump manages to hang it up in court."

"It’s no good pondering whether what just happened in #Venezuela was a “war crime” or mumbling about how perhaps #Congress should have been notified. There has to be an actual war before you can have war crimes, brothers and sisters. These were just straight-up crimes, committed by a criminal president and a criminal regime, and the entire world knows it."

And #Epstein and #JackSmith.

In addition to the criminal invasion of #Venezuela and the kidnapping of #Maduro and his wife, I am determined to remain focused on the following because I/we can definitely hold a bunch of things in our mind at the same time. Even if the #media cannot.

2. #JackSmith
3. #Healthcare
4. #Fascism
5. #ICE

3. Due to court rulings, Trump has been forced to remove National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland.

4. Jack Smith's damning testimony was released on New Year's Eve.

"It is against this backdrop that the Trump administration launched a strike against Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday, January 3."

Heather Cox Richardson provides background to the invasion of Venezuela:

1. DOJ ignored the 19 December deadline to release the Epstein files, and law required it to written justification for any material in the files by January 3, the day Trump invaded Venezuela.

2. What has trickled out from the Epstein files so far is already damning for Trump.

I'm so with Joyce Vance on this. "I’m more interested than ever in learning what’s in the #Epstein Files and seeing Volume II of Jack Smith’s report. They wouldn’t be trying so hard to distract us if it didn’t matter."
