Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday undermined a key pillar of his old boss’ defense in the special counsel’s probe into 2020 election interference, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Donald Trump “knew well he lost the election.”
December 18 is when they had meeting where they decided to plan Jan 6th. I think before that trump likely asked Barr to make DOJ use something illegal to hold power.
BTW: I found it interesting when Barr was discussing trump's documents handling indictment, he said that AG still had some discretion about who special counsel charges and some other things. Then he realized that this applied to Mueller and him so added that that case was "obviously" bogus.
Former President Donald Trump received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith in the January 6 investigation but his former attorney, ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, evaded a similar fate after meeting with prosecutors....
Well, to be frank, he was responsible for many things, but I don't think there was anything (at least currently publicly available) that he had part in planning January 6th.

Yeah, that's the best way to ensure trump's 2nd term.
If they are seriously thinking of actually giving 3rd party a chance they should work on promoting ranked choice voting.
There's no chance in hell 3rd party will ever win as long as we have first part the post, and the only thing it will is making sure that the least desirable candidate will win.
Also, fuck you Lieberman, you already showed your colors.
From those you listed, the only person that was willing to cross party lines was John McCain.
Manchin, Sinema basically are Republicans that just run as Democrats, their voting record shows that (especially Sinema outraged her voters, because she changed after being elected, Manchin doesn't hide who he is, so I have less problem with him). Lieberman is just spiteful and was willing torpedo single payer that he himself was pushing, because he lost primaries). Murkowski only says that she is moderate, but she still votes with the party when her vote would actually made any difference.
McCain was a Republican and believed that is the right way, but unlike those rest you listed he put country first. If you would have discussion with him and convince him that specific bill actually benefits Americans he had no problem to vote against his party (last example was where he actually stopped repeal of ACA).
Also, I can't believe that Joe Biden out of all people is currently labeled as far left.
In Europe his position would be considered as a right wing politician.
But anyway even within US, he was known to be moderate and actually a politician who had talent to struck deals with both sides. More so that the examples GP gave.
Murkowski and Collins always vote like that when it doesn't matter. Notice that GOP likes to pass everything with a single vote. No one from the GOP expected McCain would vote the way he did.
Maybe, but that's not it in this case. It's from where the paycheck is coming. It matches his other views.
GOP was infiltrated, by pro Kremlin politicians. I think the word "tankies" for them is appropriate. Yes that term was for communists supporting use of taka about population. The Russia is no longer communist, it switched to fascism, but the practices stayed and the same people are still supporting it.

I actually think he was the best person for the current time. Of course I would love he was younger
Apparently US intelligence picked up in April 2021 that Russia was heading for the attack.
Biden did not waste time, his experience, familiarity with world leaders and negotiating skills helped get the west in order. Putin was convince that he did not have enough time and called a bluff.
Another thing is that Biden relies on experts.
I honestly would be more concerned with inexperienced person like Newsom during this time. He might eventually do fine, but the time to get up to speed might be long.
