New excerpts from the Book I Alone Can Fix It by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig reveal just how much Trump pressured Mike Pence to overturn the election and who else he pressured aid his efforts. White House reporter for the Los Angeles Times Eli Stokols and former chief of staff for the CIA Jeremy Bash discuss.

#Trump #Jan6 #Capitol
Breaking news: everything you assumed about the last president was probably right! He tried as hard as he could destroy every thing we rely on, and he’s still trying!..
@SE Texan you are funny. Here, I’ll get you a fiddle while America burns.
@SE Texan <<
Breaking news none of your puppetmasters are reporting the election fraud nesara gesara, fed under treasury, tribunal witnesses, coalition of 3000 calling out crimes against humanity, shedding spiked proteins after taking the experimental shot, tell me when to srop, sheeple…
@1776 SAR SUSAN CONSTANT ..
Careful they are tracking comments and thoughts. Need to go underground soon
Like they did in Cuba. (In news now)
Remember the rule they have to let us know blatantly or somewhat cripted before the next move .
Keyboards and internet giving you trouble. Hope not sometimes i use my friends equipment , hardly ever home.
Stay well interesting times ahead.
Still trying is the key.
How many Trump supporters does it take to change a lightbulb? None. Trump will say that he alone fixed it beautifully while his supporters are still applauding him in the dark 3 weeks later.
Absolutely correct. I’m reminded of ‘1984.’ The success of the ‘Party’ was that you genuinely believed there were four fingers raised when only three were raised.
SPOT ON!
@Gary Kelley I’ve literally never worked with a Trump supporter who was a hard, honest worker. Never. Not once.
@Gary Kelley That’s pretty weak.
Classic. Pretty much sums things up.
We all know this already! The question is… when will he be held accountable? The magnitude of Trump’s terror on Americans cannot go unpunished!
@Michelle Whatshername so that’s a yes, that ewe follow…… Got it 👍
@Walter Bo you don’t make sense honey
@K.W. Matterhorn mango maniac is what the media calls Trump.
@evan doe har har har…..you are very funny fella…
@Dan Alexander Audio thanks buddy 👍👍👍👍👍👍
watch “HOW TO BECOME A TYRANT” on Netflix to know who trump is.
Thank you! I will check it out!
Saw it, enjoyed it. It was tongue in cheek, but the message was clear.
The magas are just like the N Korean people are with the kims. And thats SCARY
I just binge-watched it the other day. So many recognizable elements that we’ve seen the last 4 years. Good series.
aides said Trump had a huge grin on his face while watching the attack on the Capitol on TV
Rubbing his hands with glee like a poo eating fly feasting on dinner
I believe that.
45 said he would walk to the Capitol with them. But he didn’t, he left his flock to deal with the consequences.
There is a video of him dancing in eith Don Jr his girlfriend, ivanka and bunch of others
@Tunde Brazlik Yes, I’ve seen that video. Trump is a dangerous sociopath.
Call Criminal trump the Former guy. Don’t call him President please
He defiled and besmirched the office and integrity of the presidency, he’s a complete disgrace
@Kevin Turner What??? By attempting a coup he stands for freedom? He lost the election fair in square but the deluded egomanic refused to accept reality and behave with dignity. What a disgrace to all his predecessors in the job
@zog zog Back during Austria’s Nazi gov official Kremlin-backed pay-off scandal, these “politicians” stated that they “favored” Trump.
PI ‘s then leader stated, “Trump is a strong leader who wants the same for his people (aka: his supporters).”
@Derek S Yes. But as with all authoritarian regimes, the Hungarian state controls the press – which is directed by those same racist fascist gov officials. Poland has become another such country.
@G K R. Keep sending him your money he needs it.lmao
When will this traitor be arrested & put in jail in isolation?
@Dan Alexander Audio So you attack a Hispanic who delivers today’s news. This makes you a half wit and a racist..
Not soon enough.
Yes, when?
Put him on an island for the rest of his pathetic days .
@Dan Alexander Audio – ‘Loblow’ needs to show everyone those photos where Rep. Petty *punched cops and broke windows* before her arrest… 🙄
We need to make sure a child doesn’t become President ever again.
@CynAnne1 I reported that one.
Do the same when you see duplicates. Check his start date, too.
The word petulant would enhance your description.
Right
@Steve Madrid you need to say no to drugs it causing hallucinations
Yes, Yes, Yes. Never to have a child as President. Even if the childs cult followers wish to install their false idol as their leader and have the cult obey and follow instructions from their worshipful master.
Republican Senators and Congressmen supported this. They are also at fault.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, check it out.
After They were safely in Bed with “My Pillow”…
@protostars gta enabled BS the help plan the attack and planning to try it again!!!
those traitors need to be rounded up, regardless if they were aware of how bad it was or wasn’t, they aided in this madness and must pay for their crimes. Strip them of their power, wealth, and influence, lock them up, for life if necessary.
FOX helped, the electorate is uneducated incapable of critical thinking
Without an educated population it will willingly succumb to authoritarianism. It’s too late I’m afraid
I never would have dreamed that in my lifetime the chairman of the Joint Chiefs would accurately call a sitting US president “Hitlerian”.
@Scahoni 🤐 STFU and go sit down son!
@Scahoni The NSDAP hijacked the word “socialism”. They were fascists. Once they gained power they put actual
leftists in new prisons called “concentration camps” starting in 1933. The first official one was Dachau.
@Yvonne Plant .. Well we don’t want any of that smelly socialist around here
But true
And here all these years I’ve thought military service a waste of good intellects, and ‘military intelligence’ a contradiction in terms.
As it turns out, here fifty years after MartinLuther King, Jr., and seventy after Mohammad Karamchand Gandhi, it’s top level military in this country who save it through effecting satyagraha (even without vaunting the name!) — passive resistance!
We and many would do well to be instructed accordingly.
The GOP will never give “permission “ to investigate their “cash cow trump” and their dreams of Fascism.
@Kevin Turner lmmaaaaoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!1
@Kevin Turner there are two types of t=rumpers: too stupid to breathe, and racists. The two are not mutually exclusive.
@Kevin Turner go stand on a busy freeway 🤡🤡
@Kevin Turner whataboutism
/ˌwɒtəˈbaʊtɪz(ə)m/
nounBRITISH
the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.
“the parliamentary hearing appeared to be an exercise in whataboutism”
Kevin I send you this from Ireland , we suffered from the same problem with Catholics and Protestants .
@Kevin Turner <<
I certainly hope that professionalism in the military will prevail. Lt. General Charles Flynn, brother of former NSA head Mike Flynn, was in the meeting to discuss deployment of the National Guard on Jan 6th…I hope we remember how that went!!🙄
AND his brother still hasn’t be charged with $hit !
And WHY has not both Flynn not being court marshaled????
@Crazy D Not only hasn’t he been charged, he’s now in charge of the Pacific fleet!!😮
They were very slow to act, so everyone knows where the traitor ‘s brother stands
The depth of the corruption of morals in Republican circles is reflected by the fact that whilst the Vice President of the USA and his family hid in fear of a mob that threatened their lives, his brother (Greg Pence, Indiana Congressman) voted against the establishment of a Jan 6th Commission. A traitor to family as well as country.
When Trump won I knew we were in for the worst years imaginable, always saw the thuggery of Trump. A friend from Barcelona told me to be careful because I was no longer living in a Democracy.
@steve jette Just habit, when I write surnames…lol
I have never like the idea of a President with no, NO, NONE, NADA, ZILCH, experience in politics or law. Like was he ever class president in school?
I mean just his word choice and how he talked about people and how quickly he switched from liking to disliking people, UGH, an utter embarrassment for our country and ALL former Presidents.
@Ashley Green Absolutely, he expresses himself with 4th grade vocabulary, and he had the nuclear codes!!!
@Trudy Zaldivar – I often opined that the ‘biscuit’ #45✳ carried was *actually* President Obama’s expired “Costco” card, with the logo scratched off. 💳
@Ashley Green nevermind President, trumpdiggity is the worst American citizen ever!
Trump doesn’t love them… He only loves what they’ll do for him.
@Scahoni we don’t care is Joe loves us, we just care that he does his job right
Is this shill 101 handbook or is that original ?
@Mr Critical .. But you hated Trump even though he did the best job of any president in history? … makes no sense
@Scahoni well there’s a good reason behind that…he didn’t
@Mr Critical .. This hatred of Trump is bizarre
ACCOUNTABILITY – DOJ needs to hold top USA officials responsible! For the People!
I really can’t stand the Lord of the FLIES🪰 but I have to admit I have a smidgen of compassion for that loyal lap dog. He couldn’t even trust his own security detail.
Mike pence should never come out of the hiding. His days of politics is over. This book seals it 😬😬
@JoAnn Holmes Mike Pence not leaving the capitol when he had the chance to get away says a lot. He stayed there because he didn’t know if he would ever get back to certify the electoral votes. If he had left and never came back due to trump not allowing him to, Trump would still be President. It was all those so called Christians who funded the rally and insurrection and continue to support trump that make me sick!! And those so called Christians are everywhere. Quite a few have even said they’d do it again!!!
Book of lies
Gitmo Spa
Betraying the country has consequences.
He danced with the devil. His “morality,” is bull. No one who truly loves the Lord can align themselves with Trump.
You can picture Trump cackling like a deranged lunatic while his minions scaled the Capitol walls.
On which planet ?
@Scahoni name the 3 times please.What was their goal in each of the 3 ? Was there violence in all 3?
You can skip the broad Clinton pardoned,I know that story and she shouldn’t have been pardoned anymore than Alice the trump family cocaine supplier.
@1776 SAR SUSAN CONSTANT In his imagination it was probably planet Bob.
Hence the true meaning of “TDS” actually applies to Trump’s mental state.
@Scahoni when was this?
If Flynn was in 1-Term Fatty’s room instead of Milley, there would’ve been a military coup on 1/6, and likely bloody battles among generals.
