This looks very helpful:
Richard Taus, may be a name to remember, or could be someone scheming to get a cushier prison sentence.

"They're saying now that he's going to a funeral on that day, so we've been going back and forth with the lawyer," Comer told Fox News Digital the same evening. "We're going to hold him in contempt if he doesn't show up for his deposition."
Did they kill Rob Reiner just so Bill would have an excuse not to be deposed? 🤣🤣
Excuse for Bill is still pending? He's due to testify on the 18th.
I'd also add that the whole drama of pushing Erika to "ask questions" also gives extra weight/credibility to the answers, whatever they may be.
They may have not even decided what "the answer" is yet. They may just fill it in with whatever is most operationally beneficial when the times comes.
It's hard to know for sure when the framerate is so low, but it could also be shirt-under-a-shirt adjustment.
The only thing I know for certain w/respect to this individual is that a lot of powerful & evil people don't want the general public to know their identity, for some reason.
Indicates it's not the usual patsy. Logically, why wouldn't they immediately throw Cole under the bus if he was the patsy? Why not recruit a more MAGA-ish patsy, if the intent was to harm Trump? Was the person actually a legit, "high-level" operator that was supposed to have pulled off the attack rather than create a diversion?
Another possibility, maybe Cole was male-to-female transitioning?
All I know is that atmospherically on J5-6, there was a strange calm and order about the whole thing. This was during the peak trauma of St. Floyd, scamdemic vaccine/mask insanity, and trans/pronoun stuff going on as well. There were ZERO ANTIFA or BLM openly on set. There were ZERO police present on day of J6, in a city that frequently feels like a military base (plenty on J5 though). Zero counter-protestors to the biggest MAGA event of the year in one of the most satanic cities in the country. Why weren't they brought out? Why was everything wrapped up before sundown?
Overall vibe: we were unwitting actors in a closed movie set. Like some Amazon tribe that had been instructed by Werner Herzog to just "go do their thing" while he filmed it and a few planted actors made sure to hit certain story points.
Good higher order analysis.
I think a lot of folks are also missing the message in say, Indiana, which is not so much about a vote on gerrymandering, as it was shining a spotlight on the mindset of the average Republican "representative", and the need for deeper red state political involvement.
There is a severe rot in the Republican party and a lot of Republicans/conservatives are completely unaware that their help is needed to fix it.
Imagine your ideal government. Does it function if everyone does nothing? If the best people in your community are afraid to run for office or can't afford to? Do you think your leaders will be responsive when they receive zero constituent contact and single digit election turnout? Do you complain about Republican general election candidates but not participate in the primary?
This is not targeted at any specific person, but I run into so many people who are unhappy with politics but completely uninvolved in politics. They are content to lose and complain rather than to play the game.
Get in the game. It's fun and the more patriots who play the more fun it gets.
We need offramps for retirement savings that invest patriotically and vote their proxy statements patriotically.
We need boards to be modeled on what Cohen has doing with $GME and everyone on the board needs to be INVESTED.
It's tied to Israeli insurrection to an astonishing degree. Needs a Congressional investigation.
Look at the themes. Teachers with students. Parents with stepchildren. Women with tattoos. Women with multiple men. Trannies. Interracial everything. Normalization of women selling themselves for a pittance. Porn extends the narratives and motives of Netflix/Hulu/Amazon.
The public is precluded from exposure to any healthy, inspiring, or uplifting themes.
What exactly is he describing?
If a recount is being performed I would expect each ballot box seal to be broken and a new seal to be created after...
And of course, this would be a machine level recount, not human. It would only detect operator error, not machine error or suspicious ballots.
The question is what we are going to do about it? Very smart people have worked on this issue before and come to a common conclusion: get involved and fix the Republican party.
How do you fix it? First, stop throwing cash at it. Cash is corruptible. Cash corrupts. Very persuasive people will always be hitting you for cash. Learn how to say no.
What do you do instead? Invest a modest amount of your time--but not your life--in politics. I suggest time spent on video games, collectibles, rage reading/listening/watching, are the types of time best invested in politics. Where do you invest? Start with your monthly county committee meetings.
These small committees are the foundational, local pieces of the party. They determine how a county votes, what the rules are for getting on the ballot, and if you have the inside track w/the committee you have the inside track for your race. If patriots control these, they control the country. If they are checked out and absent--their votes don't matter.
Listen quietly for a few meetings and wait for your "spot" to emerge. You could be an election worker, technologist, phone banker, someone who works the fairs, or a candidate or advisor. But find your spot and occupy it as a patriot, because if you do you'll be reducing cabal representation in your county.
A lot of good people enter politics and become bad (more than you'd imagine). Our apathy is part of the reason for that. Don't feel obligated to show up for everything, but part of the reason Republicans don't have balls is because few of their constituents have the balls to show up and hold them to account.
@papitrumpo specifically mentioned it.
He makes a solid & entertaining argument but even in this awesome 9:17 connection:

The "traitor" is in quotes and thus open to all sorts of interpretation.
My observation is that when Trump goes on an over-the-top attack like this, the result for the target is an extreme boost to their liberal perception at modest cost to their conservative perception. I think he enjoys having principled people around because he can play off them and gauge reaction from unknowns (i.e. who sticks up for MTG and who is happy to cast her out?).
And going back to the Elon rift, do you recall that prior to that there was the hilarious narrative that Trump was somehow Elon's puppet? Now we see info emerging that Elon was stirring up problems with the RINOs (Cotton et. al.) because he was getting close to their NGO cash.

Conservatives need to experience their own mini-awakening to the deep corruption in their party, and in red states, at some point. Our local participation is not close to where it needs to be.
I understand this stuff is open to interpretation, but here is the text of the bill:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405/text
And you can see that it gives very broad withholding authorities to the AG, including:
The Attorney general may withhold or redact the segregable portions of records that—
(A) contain personally identifiable information of victims or victims’ personal and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
Feeling very cozy and not even worried about arrests/rope/etc.
What do they fear the most?
PUBLIC AWAKENING
What is happening? Leftists demanding release of Epstein files. ActBlue being investigated for foreign donations. Medicaid grift being exposed in Minnesota. Normies questioning WW2 history. Reality of Democrat gerrymandering exposed. Physical ballot review granted in Georgia. Republican grift machine (Turning Point et al) exposed. Boasberg and foreign judges exposed. Vaccine scientific fraud exposed. Climate change scientific fraud exposed. Border security fraud exposed (never needed legislation or funds--just will). Intentional undermining of public safety in blue cities exposed. H1B crackdown. DEI crackdown. Child trans surgery crackdown. USAID funding removed. Trump accounts activated for the next generation.
People complaining = progress. It's when they are successfully diverted by sportball, streaming, etc. that you should be worried.
Only item I wish we saw more movement on is the SEC. They're definitely the laggard in Trump's cabinet.
