Hoping so, hoping so

 

This article in Salon seems fairly confident that the House committee on the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the planning for the attempt to overturn the results of the Presidential election by Trump and associates, is closing in on the top characters.

I certainly hope that optimism is justified.

With new subpoenas, Jan. 6 committee closes in on its ultimate target: Donald Trump

Here's an example of the optimism:

"Because the Supreme Court denied Donald Trump's claim of executive privilege on Wednesday, the committee will now have yet another trove of official documents, visitor lists, call logs, talking points and plans to challenge electoral ballots before they question Giuliani and his compatriots. White House documents released by the National Archives will also produce names of new witnesses the committee will want to question. One document received by the committee, and published by Politico on Friday, exposed a fantastical plan to use the military to seize voting machines and electoral records in all 50 states and have them "analyzed and assessed" by the — get this — director of national intelligence. It was, in effect, a plan for a military coup using a "national security emergency" as a pretext — the "emergency" apparently being Trump's loss in the election."

Let the good times roll.  And roll over everybody involved.
