New Reporting Shows White House Role In Directing Trump Mob To Capitol | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

No bipartisanship with a party that refuses to condemn right-wing terror.

[billsoderholm]

As Beau of the Fifth Column says: “If no one is held accountable for this insurrection, it is merely training for the next time”.

[angelcantu]

If there’s no justice over January 6th, there never will be about anything.

[JohnMaun]

I didn't tell them to rob the bank, I just drove them there, gave them the guns and ammo and counted the loot afterwards. -John(Barron) Dillinger

[jimkeogh]

The fact that "the commander in chief" wouldn't call in the National Guard at any time between inviting the rally to march to the Capitol and his taped address to ask the insurrectionists to "go home" should tell you all you need to know.

[galeholley]

Was not surprised. He knew the riot was going to take place and sat back and watched it.

[astrosaurus]

"no one's saying "go commit violence"" Guliani literally said "let's have trial by combat"

[brianthomas]

So glad we’ve returned to the days when the biggest terror threat facing our country isn’t sitting in the Oval Office.

[etc.]

His whole administration was intended to tenderize us for this.

[MegaSid]

Apart from in the history books can't you just Stop calling him "President' or even "former President'?
He doesn't deserve that title. Wish you could strip it all together.

[usafinland]

I hope all this repetition will lead to the arrest of Trump and his goons.

[vincef]

C’MON MAN‼️ How can donny NOT BE LOCKED UP after this⁉️🤨

[janechambers]

Even instructions to hit men do not mention violence; they instead "take care" of their victims.

[sergemenard]

This started a very long time ago...when trump installed one of his men as head of the postal service!

[paulswetz]

Though it odd that you would use a baseball bat to attach a trump flag to it and other things of that nature if you did not have an underlying use for it.

[ashokmehta]

It is about time that a full, thorough and independent investigation is carried out of why and what happened on Jan 6, 2021. Who were the masterminds?

[Lord_Samael_de_Monasteriis]

"FIGHT, FIGHT & FIGHT SOME MORE". The word "fight" has a very specific definition. If you wanted to call out for insurrection; how else would you do it?

[bobrob]

Trump should be punished for what he was trying to do imo.

[videopokergal]

Thank you for your responsible journalism, much appreciated!😁

[cody]

Yeah this man should be sleeping in a federal jail cell instead of mara lago
