that then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows"repeatedly" pushed federal law enforcement to"investigate unfounded conspiracy theories" in the aftermath of the 2020 election. At times, the lobbying got quite weird: Meadows thought Jeffrey Rosen, then the acting attorney general, should look into the idea that a contractor in Italy used military satellites to tamper with U.S. voting machines.
At face value, the revelations shed new light on the frantic efforts from Team Trump to cling to power after voters rendered their verdict, as well as the ridiculous ideas the Republican White House was prepared to entertain. But just below the surface, the story took on greater significance: Team Trump saw the Justice Department, not as an independent law-enforcement agency, but as an extension of the White House's political operations.
An hour before President Donald J. Trump announced in December that William P. Barr would step down as attorney general, the president began pressuring Mr. Barr's eventual replacement to have the Justice Department take up his false claims of election fraud. Mr. Trump sent an email via his assistant to Jeffrey A.
The layers of madness are head-spinning. Start with the fact that an American president wanted to nullify the results of his own country's election. Add the steps that the president and his team took to execute their scheme. Then add the utterly absurd conspiracy theories the Republican White House embraced to justify their attacks on our democracy.
MaddowBlog Rikers is keeping DONALD JAILHOUSE TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL SUITE ready. A new yellow gold American Standard crapper & matching yellow gold single bowl sink. No towel rack or soap dish, they're not available. He'll need to hang his soap on a rope from the shower head. Yay!
MaddowBlog And nothing will happen to him. Dems will get their panties all up in a wad and then pretend they’ve done everything they can, while actually doing nothing.
MaddowBlog LOCK HIM UP!!
MaddowBlog And still nothing gets done about it. How many hearings and evidence do you need before anyone does anything? Shit or get off the pot.
MaddowBlog If a presidential candidate ever had to a legit gripe over having an election stolen from him, it was Al Gore back in 2000.
MaddowBlog If the same nonsense happens again in 2024, the election will be stolen for real and the same system that prevented it last time will enable it then.
MaddowBlog As a country, we are screwed. Big time. The institutions that were in place this past election that ensured the proper election winner assumed office have eroded. The conspiracy theorists have been installed at all levels.
MaddowBlog When Biden is doing so terrible that you have to turn back to trump and aliens
MaddowBlog Wait wait what emails? Do we have them, or is speculation again
MaddowBlog Lock them all up!!!
MaddowBlog But the tarmac though!
MaddowBlog A Creepy one.
MaddowBlog I figured as much.
MaddowBlog Trump and Barr need to be charged with sedition. They tried to overthrow the election through violence and weaponizing the justice department.
MaddowBlog OMG is there ANYTHING the Criminal in Chief HASN’T DONE? The charges alone are going to fill a book by the time we uncover it all…..jeez
MaddowBlog Why has he not been charge ?
MaddowBlog I felt it in my bones before my eyes saw the emails and confirmed that my bones were right😊
MaddowBlog TRUMP 'AUGUST 2021'
MaddowBlog Yet here we are. What will happen?
MaddowBlog He’s still walking a free man. Why?
MaddowBlog The sad fact is that Donald Trump was right. He really could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and it would not matter. So prosecute him if you must/can, but don't expect a political comeuppance. It won't happen.
MaddowBlog Lessons he learned from the best, his friend in Russia.
MaddowBlog Email Emails Emails and we aren't talking about HRC 🤣
MaddowBlog And this should be block A all day!!!!!
MaddowBlog They the left media propaganda are focusing on this, when let’s see..: you’ve ignored Hunter’s laptop evidence, Dr. Fauci’s emails, Hillary’s corrupt emails, etc… I could go on!!! Hmmm 🤔 Don’t forget Biden can hardly stem a thought together. silence! We know what side you play!
MaddowBlog THE LAPTOP.
MaddowBlog Report back when & if there r consequences for this...with Garland & Biden, I won't hold my breathe
MaddowBlog Happened under Obama but nobody cared.
MaddowBlog If you really believe this story you need to get your head out of your — — —!!!! The left pushing their agenda again! Wake up people.
MaddowBlog Still won't except he LOST BY A LANDSLIDE
MaddowBlog treasonous..........
MaddowBlog Letting him get away with it will be a major step towards dismantling our government.
MaddowBlog This man has to be dealt with or another crazy president will take it to the top and put us into a dictatorship!
MaddowBlog Does not surprise me at all. He is just so arrogant and evil.
MaddowBlog So when is he going to be held accountable?
MaddowBlog Slowly brewing and then!
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog msnBS.... President Trump sent e-mails to an attorney general asking for an investigation into all the corruption with the 2020 election.
MaddowBlog Didn't this break any laws?!
MaddowBlog I’m tired of getting my hopes up that Trump will ever be held accountable. At the very least I hope these e mails will prevent him from ever running for President again.
MaddowBlog Normally this would be a National scandal that would bring down an entire political party. Instead, it’s a footnote the government will do nothing about, and the guy may try to run again. His party opponents will say he should step away but then file in behind him when he wins.
MaddowBlog It is despicable that this occurred, but no one will be held responsible for this. Tilting at windmills.
MaddowBlog Yeah, but in his defense it was 🎄The Season for the Treason.🎄 Merry Insurrection everybody.
MaddowBlog Also during the Trump Reich:
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog i think the amount of corruption that is yet to be uncovered will be mind blowing. Never before has a US President worked so hard to CHEAT and LIE. and his base thought that was 'winning' Hilary was right all along. Now LockHimUp
MaddowBlog Me waiting for anything to actually happen instead of just more words..
