'What the F-ck Is This?': Team Trump Blindsided by Jan. 6 Committee Getting Doc Footage

Mean as hell, dangerous as ****, but dumb.
This may become the smoking AR-15 that takes out a cabal. Poetic justice.

The Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed documentary filmmaker Alex Holder in regard to footage and interviews Holder and his team shot while following former President Donald Trump and his inner circle throughout the 2020 presidential campaign.
Holder's company, AJH Films, confirmed to Rolling Stone on Tuesday that he has been subpoenaed, will sit for an interview with the panel on Thursday, and has "fully complied with all of the committee's requests."
Trump's team was blindsided by the development, which was initially reported by Politico.
In some of the highest ranks of the Trumpworld diaspora -- including among several who testified before the Jan. 6 committee -- news of the documentarian cooperating with the congressional panel (and also potentially having reams of behind-the-scenes footage of Trump's crusade to nullify the 2020 election) came as a bizarre surprise. "What the fuck is this?" a former top Trump 2020 official messaged Rolling Stone on Tuesday after seeing the Politico item.
Another former senior official on the reelection team insisted that the first time several members of the Trump campaign leadership even heard of the documentary was when Politico reported the committee had subpoenaed the Holder. A third ex-official simply said, "Terrible idea," and pleaded baffled ignorance to the doc project.
The stones of Stonehenge have silently marked the winter solstice for thousands of years.
Find out what the winter solstice is and why prehistoric people might have built this extraordinary monument.
The Winter Solstice
The earth rotates on a tilted axis. When this axis leans towards the sun, it’s summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the south. This is reversed as the earth continues on its orbit until the axis becomes tilted away from the sun.
During the solstice, the earth’s axis is tilted at its furthest point from the sun. This means that, for us in the northern hemisphere, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. It’s also the shortest day of the year - and the longest night.
Solstice and Stonehenge
Marking the passage of time was important to many ancient cultures. For the people of Stonehenge who were farmers, growing crops and tending herds of animals, knowing when the seasons were changing was important. Winter might have been a time of fear as the days grew shorter and colder. People must have longed for the return of light and warmth. Marking this yearly cycle may have been one of the reasons that Neolithic people constructed Stonehenge – a monument aligned to the movements of the sun.
The stones were shaped and set up to frame at least two important events in the annual solar cycle – the midwinter sunset at the winter solstice and the midsummer sunrise at the summer solstice.
At the summer solstice, around 21 June, the sun rises behind the Heel Stone and its first rays shine into the heart of Stonehenge. Although the tallest trilithon at the monument is no longer standing, the sun would have set between the narrow gap of these uprights during the winter solstice.
