Kevin Kruse:
1. Per 6thA, crimes are tried in districts where the crimes took place. Defendants don't get to pick
2. GOP thinks "diverse" juries are important? OK sure.
3. W. Va., 92% white, is not remotely "diverse"
Don Moynihan:
Easy solution: do your coup in WV if you want a WV jury.

CHUCK TODD: If he had proof he won #Georgia, why did he threaten the secretary of state with a criminal charge?
#LAURO: That wasn't a threat at all. That was an aspirational ask.
TODD: You're not allowed to use speech, though, in order to get somebody to commit a crime #Trump

#Trump lawyer John Lauro on CNN punts when asked if it's wise for Trump to call #JackSmith "deranged" & "mentally ill": "My focus is on addressing the issues."
LAURO: The transfer of power was certainly peaceful

Lauro suggests that Trump #legal team may ultimately oppose having cameras in courtroom during J6 trial

#Pence on CNN on whether Trump was asking him to pause certifying the election or overturn it:
"But frankly, the day before #Jan6, if memory serves, they came back - his lawyers did - and said we want you to reject votes outright. They were asking me to overturn the election." #TrumpIndictment
FYI, Andrew Weissmann posted this tweet today:
"#Trump is intentionally provoking the US and the Judge so he can then play the victim and heap scorn on both. Very transparent and deliberate plan."

"Thomas, who in the ensuing years would tell friends how he had scrimped and saved to afford the motor coach, did not buy it on his own. In fact, the purchase was underwritten, at least in part, by Anthony Welters, a close friend who made his fortune in the health care industry."

#Trump is understandably mad about the indictments. But he can see the charges under the KKK Act as meant to honor his father.

“The Truth post cited is the definition of political speech, and was in response to the RINO, China-loving, dishonest special interest groups and Super PACs, like the ones funded by the Koch brothers and the Club for No Growth”
