This last Saturday night, two hours after Trump posted the tweet, this site posted an article entitled “Trump Puts Out a Statement that Practically Screams ‘I’m F**King Terrified”
Perhaps we could have been more artful in our title, and yet the “Statement” seemed to warrant it. We wrote:
Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States (and a man who desperately wants to be appointed 46.75th president of the United States had a very bad week. Indeed, it would be hard to imagine him having a worse week.
The “Statement Read:”
“All the Democrats want to do is put people in jail. They are vicious, violent, and Radical Left thugs. They are destroying people’s lives, which is the only thing they are good at. They couldn’t get out of Afghanistan without disgracing our Country. The economy and inflation are a disaster.
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 El
Frank Figliuzzi, a former Deputy Director of the FBI addressed the tweet on Sunday.
“I don’t think the former president hides his emotions very well at all.
And typically, historically, for him, when he sends out something like this it’s indicative that he’s learned something he didn’t know.
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.”
Much more interestingly, especially to those of us frustrated by the inaction we see from DOJ, Figliuzzi said that he believed that the Select Committee was working in cooperation with DOJ and the FBI:
“For those all over social media who are understandably frustrated with timing and wonder if DOJ and Merrick Garland and the FBI are doing absolutely nothing. I’m an evidence guy. I see glimpses that not only is DOJ not doing nothing, but rather that they understand the role of the select committee.
Figliuzzi also pointed his finger directly at Brandon Straka, who is now cooperating with the FBI, which could really create problems with respect to criminal liability for Trump:
“He spoke at the rally. He’s been arrested, and he’s cooperating, enough cooperation for DOJ to stop what they’re doing with Straka.
Other Oath Keepers are cooperating. We know a high-ranking Oath Keeper was asked by FBI agents, ‘were you in contact with members of Congress or their staff.’ We’ve heard Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) tell reporters in the last two weeks who authored the texts being released by the committee. He said House members and staffers, the same language the FBI is using when they question Oath Keepers. I think things are happening.”
Trump must worry most about the evidence regarding plans made well before January 6th and, specifically, what they planned for the day. If Trump knew ahead of time what the more violent groups had planned and approved of it, or – worse, agreed to assist in it, then Trump’s criminal exposure increases exponentially. Straka is a guy who could hand over that evidence.
