Trump Linked To Proud Boys As Explosive Texts Revealed In Coup Probe
New texts revealed in the investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection show militia leaders trying to connect with former Trump doctor and Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson. Meanwhile, Trump’s former lawyer is hiding more than 37,000 pages of Trump-related emails from the Jan. 6 committee, asserting attorney-client privilege. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the latest in the investigation.
" If you love freedom, then you are going to have to pay for it. Not only by paying taxes but by making the commitment to live by the principles that are essential for freedom to survive. That includes respecting the rule of law and if you have set that aside for political reasons, then you are a threat to our democracy and our freedoms. "
"Stand back and stand by" is NOT "Stand down" but it IS the kind of command you expect in relation to a coup that is contingent on voting outcomes.
All kinds of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were standing around Roger Stone just outside the hotel holding the infamous planning war room. It was on the news.
"Stand back and stand by." I will never forget the complete horror I felt when I heard that said during that debate. I even stopped watching and rewound the DVR to make sure I had heard that correctly. That was a very defining moment for me. Right then I started saying to anyone that would listen that we all needed to collectively put on our thinking caps to try to imagine what Trump would do to stay in office should he lose.
I recall Donnie saying he didn’t know anything about the Proud Boys and didn’t know who they were or what they stood for. I recall him then mentioning Antifa. Or am I mistaken in my recollection? Donnie is such a liar and an awful human being.
