Appeals court: 'There is a direct linkage' between Trump and Capitol riots
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has delivered a unanimous ruling rejecting former President Donald Trump's efforts to keep archived White House records away from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots.

One particularly notable part of the ruling comes in the three-judge panel's explanation for why Congress is fully justified in seeking Trump's White House records, as the judges argue that Congress has a direct interest in investigating an attack launched against it.

"The January 6th Committee has also demonstrated a sound factual predicate for requesting these presidential documents specifically," the court writes. "There is a direct linkage between the former President and the events of the day."

And water is wet. More at 11.

I've been saying the water is wet since Jan. 6. It's good to see the wheels turning.

Direct linkage or not, it doesn't change the fact that Trump is a narccissist.

Excellent news that the committee is subpoenaing Mark Meadows' phone records. He does NOT want those texts to go public, but the committee does, and I sure do.

It's not illegal or unconstitutional to be a narcissist, so I'm not interested in that, it's too late for that.

Do you want a narcissist controlling your country?

To be honest more then what's in charge now.

To be honest, and probably offend several, both Trump and Biden are old idiots that shouldnt be there.
When Trump and Biden are the best we have to offer, we have failed in my opinion.

He already did. But he doesn’t anymore, that’s why it’s too late to worry about that aspect. Now what I’m concerned about is justice served and preventing a repeat.

Eh. Biden wasn’t my first choice in the primary, but he was the only choice in the general. Anyway I don’t think one can achieve political power without some measure of narcissism.

Don't forget "Trump 2024". Sadly he will beat Biden in my opinion.
So we will stay at sucky for four more years. But by 2024 we will be at 8 sucky years since 2016

That depends on the person in question, and how well they perform their job as President.

I don't think trump has the courage to run again unless he's guaranteed he will have a way into office. I'm concerned about what some states are setting up in their election commissions. And with many voting laws that will limit access to polls.

Exactly.
Trump clearly inspired & enabled the violence.
That was an obvious consequence of his behavior
even before Jan 6.
Of course, the unanswered question is whether he
conspired with the malefactors to wage insurrection.

Maybe not, but you have in the USA this quaint thing called the rule of law. If you want to stop someone standing for elected office you need to use legal means.

(Trump is not just a narcissist, by the way. There are other, more potent, reasons for not wanting him to be president again.)

I agree. Unless its a for sure win he won't run. He doesn't want to be a two time loser.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Narcissism is a qualifier for public office.

 

[Shadow11]

We will see if America wants to stay on the same path with Trump others will run for the seat in the republican party - will he get the nomination when the time comes?
