We now know that a group of American citizens who either worked in the White House, Justice Department, or were current or former members of Donald Trump’s administration or family engaged in a prolonged effort to stage a coup d’etat. These were men and woman, many with law degrees, some of whom were elected officials or appointed to government positions as advisors or lawyers to former President Trump. In this post I identify the conspirators and their groups who played a part in the coup and now subpoenas have been issued by the Jan 6 House Committee.

Update: The GOP cancelled the meeting because Trump cancelled his!!
A group of Republicans will meet at the Cobb GOP headquarters at 799 Roswell St NE, Marietta, GA 30060, which is about 6 miles from my home. I won’t be there. But if you are so inclined, you can witness a bunch of people who think that the insurrectionists were patriots. They weren’t. They participated in political violence, and were out to kill elected representatives of the U.S. government, especially Vice President Mike Pence, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. And for your information, the program will begin at 5 P.M. but be there at 4:30 to register and have some Trump vodka.
