As pitiful as 88-year old Sen Grassley (R-IOWA) standing with Trump at Trump's Iowa hate rally last Sat night - Grassley sold his soul to preserve the perks of a U.S. senator.
Reid reminds us that if it weren't for a few honest DOJ officials Trump's long-planned coup attempt could well have succeeded.

"It will never be forgotten, I don’t care who you are. The truth is undeniable."
Good summary of Trump's final effort to corrupt America's electoral system. His final effort then we should say. If he and his major enablers don't pay some sort of serious penalty for what has to be verging on treason then what of the rule of law in America.

Moreover, Clark appears to have been involved in the campaign for the Justice Department to sue ??Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

This coup only failed when DOJ officials threatened to resign en masse upon Rosen’s termination.

Another day, another morally bankrupt corporation exposed.
Telecom giant AT&T has been a "crucial source of funds" for One America News Network over the years, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the far-right outlet, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Executives at AT&T — which owns CNN and other media properties — inspired OAN's creation, according to OAN founder and chief executive, Robert Herring Sr.
Rep. Raskin On Capitol Riot Investigation: 'It Could Not Be A Graver Issue'

Member of the House Jan. 6 Select Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), joined Yasmin Vossoughian to discuss where the investigation into the Capitol insurrection stands as former Trump aides and allies continue to ignore congressional subpoenas. On criminal referrals, he says the decision is "totally within the discretion of the chair of our committee."
The select panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is issuing subpoenas to four current and former top aides to President Donald Trump, including his most recent chief of staff Mark Meadows.
The Jan. 6 committee's chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), had foreshadowed Wednesday that the first subpoenas would go out imminently, as the panel kicks into high gear .. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/23/january-6-investigation-trump-subpoenas-513642 .. with the goal of finishing its work by next spring. The four Trump associates will be commanded to produce relevant documents by Oct. 7 and appear for depositions the following week.
“The Select Committee has revealed credible evidence of your involvement in events within the scope of the Select Committee’s inquiry,” Thompson wrote in the letter to Meadows, saying he has "critical information regarding many elements of our inquiry."
In a statement released shortly after the subpoenas were issued, Trump lashed out at the panel and reiterated his discredited claims about the results of the 2020 election.
"We will fight the Subpoenas on Executive Privilege and other grounds, for the good of our Country," Trump said in the statement, deriding the panel as the "Unselect Committee."
Hundreds of those charged in breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6 have cited Trump's false claims about election fraud as a motivating factor for their decision to travel to Washington ahead of what turned into the violent attack.
The issuance of subpoenas marks a sharp escalation in the two-month-old committee's activity. The panel is bracing for resistance from the four Trump associates — Thompson and other committee members indicated that they would issue immediate subpoenas .. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/21/jan-6-investigation-subpoenas-513425 .. to those they felt would be "recalcitrant."
In a statement released later Thursday, Patel said: "I am disappointed, but not surprised, that the Committee tried to subpoena me through the press and violated longstanding protocol — which I upheld as a congressional staffer — by resorting to compulsory process before seeking my voluntary cooperation. I will continue to tell the truth to the American people about the events of January 6th."
The letters cite a mix of news reports and documents obtained by the committee to suggest that the aides have information relevant to their investigation. For example, in the letter to Bannon — the longtime boss of Breitbart News who helped lead Trump’s 2016 campaign in its final months — the committee cited passages from “Peril,” the new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, as a basis for seeking his testimony.
Patel, a veteran of House Intel Ranking Member Devin Nunes' staff before Trump tapped him for a series of high-profile national security jobs, was the chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller in the waning days of the Trump administration. The panel says it believes he has documents that would reveal the White House's involvement in "preparing for and responding to the attack on the U.S. Capitol."
The committee also cites "Peril" as a basis for calling Scavino, who noted that the book suggested Scavino was at Trump's side the night before the Jan. 6 insurrection and helped Trump develop his messaging in the run-up to the certification of the Electoral College.
"It also appears that you were with or in the vicinity of former President Trump on Jan. 6 and are a witness regarding his activities that day," Thompson wrote.

The slickly produced movie trailer, set to ominous music, cuts from scenes of the 2020 election to clips of allies of former president Donald Trump describing a vast conspiracy to steal the White House.
“The Deep Rig,” a film financed by former Overstock.com chief executive Patrick Byrne for $750,000, is set to be released online this weekend — the latest production by a loosely affiliated network of figures who have harnessed right-wing media outlets, podcasts and the social media platform Telegram to promote the falsehood that the 2020 election was rigged.
