The
January 6 Committee finally released their massive 845-page report yesterday. I
was hoping that rather than crush Trump with a 16-ton weight they might have
chosen to expose him to a death by a thousand transcripts.
Even
though this would have been a much more effective strategy a few months ago,
controlling the daily news cycle with the drip, drip, drip of a transcript
here, a report excerpt there, would likely have suffocated any more MAJOR
ANNOUNCEMENTS and more trading card releases, or any other Trumpian attempts to
distract from his crimes against democracy from getting any media oxygen.
It seems
that we might be gifted with the best of both worlds. There are reports that
more transcripts are likely to be released. After all, a report is just a narrative
derived from more than a thousand interviews – some of them presenting more
than just the hundreds (probably thousands) of invocations of the Fifth Amendment and claims of “I don’t recall” regurgitated by dozens of witnesses. Transcripts likely have countless juicy, gory and hifuckinglarious
details. Drip, drip, drip.
But
now, coming in at slightly less than 16 tons, the big one is out, just in time
for the holiday. It should make a good conman stuffer.
Personally,
I plan to wait for the movie. Rumor has it that the ever-festering Trump will
be played by a CGI potato since there are no self-respecting actors appear
willing to play the disgraced, twice-impeached, failed insurrection leader and
Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president. Not for all the Trump NFTs in
the world.
And it will surely all be detailed in Mike Pence’s
new book:
On
Second Thought…
Former
Deputy Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal said, “The Republican
Party is no longer the party of the Second Amendment, they’re now the party of
the Fifth Amendment.”
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For The Day.
