On Saturday night, we did an article two hours after Trump put out a statement, a portion of which read:

They’re letting thugs and murderers into our Country—their DA’s, AG’s, and Dem Law Enforcement are out of control. This is what happens in communist countries and dictatorships, and they don’t think they’ll be held accountable for rigging the 2020 Presidential Election.

In other words, Trump made it quite clear what was on his mind. Yesterday (Monday) former Deputy Director of the FBI, Frank Figliuzzi said the statement screamed that Trump learned that something big is about to drop, specifically because he listed “D.A.’s first.”

His targeting of Democratic DA’s/District Attorneys, something is stirring. Word has gotten to him that something is happening, about to happen to him. He doesn’t like where the investigation is going. He’s lashing out. It’s the possibility that either the state of New York or Manhattan district attorney’s office and/or the DOJ is getting closer to him. Some word has gotten back to him that triggered that message.”

So that involved a statement that came out Saturday night when we covered it. The analysis came out on Monday. Now on Tuesday, Trump puts out yet another statement targeting the “Unselect” (how clever) Committee:

The Select Committee wants to stay as far away from Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, etc. as possible? If we just pretend, momentarily, that there was a problem with the last election, there would have to be an investigation into how January 6th came about (lack of security, clues missed, etc.) regardless. Trump seems to think that January 6th is 100% justified over his questions – never proven – about the election.

No, Trump is panicking that the “Unselect Committee” is honing in on exactly the right information in order to find out what happened prior to January 6th and it had nothing to do with a problem on Nov. 3rd. Trump now knows that Straka is working with the FBI, that Meadows put out PowerPoints blaming the Chinese, and other ridiculous stuff, the Committee now wants testimony from Rep. Scott Perry, who was involved in the attempt to get Jeffry Clark to replace Rosen at DOJ and texted Meadows to go “Signal” on January 6th.

Trump knows that at least right now, the process is finally starting to work. We are finally starting to see behind the curtain, and how much Trump had to hide, namely – his central role in the entire matter. Pence worried about a conspiracy involving the Secret Serviee. Imagine what it must take to get a Vice President fearing the Secret Service.

Imagine how terrified Trump must be right now. Hardly a day goes by he doesn’t howl about the Committee and try to resurrect his old trope about the stolen election. Where is the Republican Commission? Remember? McCarthy promised to put together a Republican committee to investigate it? Maybe they could look into Georgia, Arizona, etc.
