+ Woodrow Johnston, the vice president of McShane LLC who had been hired by the Republican Party to investigate election fraud, tried to recruit the Proud Boys for a November rally held at the Clark County Election Department in North Las Vegas, The Post reported. + In doing so, he contacted Sarah Ashton-Cirillo -- a liberal activist who was working closely with people on the far-right under a fake identity -- saying that they would "need to get the Proud Boys out" to Nevada, according to The Post.

    Representative Liz Cheney called out House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy for what she described as his "active" role in trying to block the select committee that is investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.    Cheney made a point to directly appeal to her colleagues during a meeting on Wednesday to take up a resolution finding former Donald Tr*mp associate Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for defying the House panel's subpoena and refusing to cooperate in the probe.    Cheney, the Wyoming Republican, said she's heard from several GOP members that they "don't want this target on their back" and that they're "trying to keep their heads down" on the issue."    They don't want to anger Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, who has been especially active in attempting to block the investigation of events of January 6, despite the fact that he clearly called for such a commission the week after the attack," Cheney said.    Earlier this year, McCarthy opposed the creation of an independent,

bipartisan commission to examine what happened during the January 6 riot.    The select committee investigating the matter is controlled by Democrats, who have subpoena power. Pelosi appointed Cheney and Representative Adam Kinzinger to the panel, the only two Republicans to vote in favor of the investigation.    Cheney was promoted to be the panel's vice chair last month.    So far, the panel has requested testimony from four former Tr*mp administration officials: Bannon, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino Jr. and Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel.    The January 6 panel has also demanded records from more than a dozen social media companies as part of its probe. McCarthy previously threatened to use a future Republican majority to punish companies that comply with the request.    Bannon has argued that executive privilege protects him from having to provide information to the panel.  Bannon was not working in the administration at the time of the January 6 insurrection, and legal questions have been raised about whether Tr*mp, now a private citizen, can claim executive privilege in the committee's probe.    The full House of Representatives will vote on Thursday (10-21-2021) on whether to hold Bannon in criminal contempt.  Following expected passage of the action in the Democrat-controlled chamber, the matter would be referred to the Department of Justice.    "I ask each one of you to step back from the brink," Cheney told her Republican colleagues on Wednesday (10-20-2021). "I urge you to do what you know is right, to think of the long arc of history.  We are told that it bends towards justice, but it does so only because of the actions of men and women in positions of public trust."

+ Miller will tell the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday (5-12-23021) that he was concerned before the insurrection that sending troops to the building could fan fears of a military coup and cause a repeat of the deadly Kent State shootings, according to a copy of prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press. + His testimony, in the latest in a series of congressional hearings centered on the riot, is aimed at rebutting broad criticism that military forces were too slow to arrive, even as pro-Tr*mp rioters violently breached the building and stormed inside. + Miller will be joined by former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who is also testifying for the first time about the Justice Department's role in the run-up to the riot.Miller will say he was determined that the military have only limited involvement, a perspective he says was shaped by criticism of the aggressive

response to the civil unrest that roiled American cities months earlier, as well as decades-old episodes that ended in violence. + The Defense Department has “an extremely poor record in supporting domestic law enforcement," including during civil rights and Vietnam War protests in the 1960s and 1970s and the fatal shooting 51 years ago of four students at Kent State University by Ohio National Guard members, Miller says in his prepared remarks. “I was committed to avoiding repeating these scenarios," he says. + Miller also denies that former pres-ident Donald Tr*mp, criticized for failing to forcefully condemn the rioters, had any involvement in the Defense Department's response. + Miller will be the most senior Pentagon official to participate in hearings on the riots. The sessions so far have featured finger-pointing about missed intelligence, poor preparations and an inadequate law enforcement response.  The Capitol Police have faced criticism for being badly overmatched, the FBI for failing to share with sufficient urgency intelligence suggesting a possible “war” at the Capitol, and the Defense Department for an hourslong delay in getting support to the complex despite the violent, deadly chaos unfolding on TV.

+ More than 150 House Democrats, well over half of the caucus, have signed on to articles of impeachment written by Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California and Jamie Raskin of Maryland that focus on the breach of the Capitol complex and accuse the pres-ident of inciting an insurrection. If passed, it would make Mr. Tr*mp the first president in the nation’s history to be impeached twice.

+ In late 2020, Trump allowed drilling to commence in a 1.5 million-acre coastal section of the 19 million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an area believed to contain around 11 billion barrels of oil, The New York Times reported. + The area, known as America's last wilderness, has been subject to attempts to harvest its natural resources for decades.  But on Tuesday (6-01-2021) Interior Secretary Deb Haaland paused the leases so that the Department of the Interior could assess the environmental impact of drilling, and clarify the legality of the leases, the department said in a statement. + The Tr*mp administration may have failed to consider the "reasonable range of alternatives" required under the National Environmental Policy Act, the department said. + The suspension has been met with anger from conservatives. ... + On January 20, Biden signed an executive order prohibiting new leases from being dispensed in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  However,

environmentalists slammed the Justice Department this month (May 2021) for backing Tr*mp's decision to start selling leases, after it said in a May 26 filing that it found the project to be "reasonable and consistent," The Guardian reported. + At the time, Kristen Monsell, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, told the newspaper it was "incredibly disappointing to see the Biden administration defending this environmentally disastrous project." + As well as contributing to rising fossil fuel emissions, environmentalists say that drilling will also impact the lives of the thousands of animals that live there, such as polar bears, caribou, snowy owls, The Associated Press reported.

+ The development is the latest step towards the 74-year-old Tr*mp, who left the White House in January, possibly becoming the first ever ex-U eader to face criminal charges.  The grand jury was set up recently and will sit three days a week for six months, reported The Washington Post, citing two unnamed people familiar with the case. + The panel is also hearing several matters unrelated to Trump's case, the paper added.ABC also reported the move. + The Washington Post said it suggests that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance may have found evidence of a crime, if not by Tr*mp, then by somebody close to him. + A spokesman for Vance refused to comment when contacted by AFP. + In the United States, prosecutors typically refer important cases to grand juries, made up of citizens who examine the prosecution's case in secret. They hear evidence and can request additional documents before deciding whether criminal charges should be brought. + Vance and New York state Attorney General Letitia James, both Democrats, are investigating Tr*mp's business dealings.They are probing whether the Tr*mp Organization committed tax evasion, insurance and bank fraud.

+ The U.S. House of Representatives broke new ground Wednesday by impeaching a president for a second time, a week before he leaves office, indicting Pres-ident Tr*mp for inciting a riot with false claims of a stolen election that led to the storming of the Capitol and five deaths. ... + The House took a final vote Wednesday afternoon, one week after the riot and just two days after the impeachment resolution was filed. It was a stunningly swift response from a House that took nearly three months to impeach Tr*mp in 2019 on charges of abuse of power and contempt of Congress. + But with just seven days remaining in Tr*mp’s term, it became increasingly certain Wednesday that Tr*mp would not be removed from office prematurely.

 + A day before rioters stormed Congress, an FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit internal warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and “war,” according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post that contradicts a senior official’s declaration the bureau had no intelligence indicating anyone at last week’s demonstrations in support of Pres-ident Tr*mp planned to do harm. ... + “As of 5 January 2021, FBI Norfolk received information indicating calls for violence in response to ‘unlawful lockdowns’ to begin on 6 January 2021 in Washington. D.C.,” the document says. “An online thread discussed specific calls for violence to include stating, ‘Be ready to fight. Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal.’  ” ... + Yet even with that information in hand, the report’s unidentified author expressed concern that the FBI might be encroaching on free-speech rights. The warning is the starkest evidence yet of the sizable intelligence failure that preceded the mayhem, which claimed the lives of five people, although one law enforcement official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid disciplinary action, said the failure was not one of intelligence but of acting on the intelligence.

+ "He's the most popular Republican in the country by a lot," Graham said of Tr*mp in an interview with Fox News. "If you try to drive him out of the Republican Party, half the people will leave." + Yes they will!  And if half (or even a third) of people who identify as Republicans right now left the party if there were a concerted effort on behalf of the establishment -- such as it is -- to rid the party of Tr*mp, then the GOP would have approximately a 0.0% chance of winning a national election.  Which Tr*mp knows.  And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell knows. And House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy knows. (Worth noting: Republicans lost control of the White House, the Senate and the House during Tr**mp's time in office.) + All of which creates a simple dynamic: Tr*mp has the Republican Party right

where he wants it -- using his cult following among a large-ish segment of the Republican base to hold the party hostage.  + What's all the more remarkable about the barrel that Tr*mp has the Republican Party over is that the GOP establishment has no one to blame for it but themselves. + When Tr*mp initially began to show movement in the 2016 GOP primary polls, the general view among Republican establishment types was that he would flame out.  When he won the GOP nomination, they said that either he wouldn't win or if he did he would moderate his behavior to be more presidential.  When he won the White House, they said they could use him to get conservative priorities through because he didn't care about policy. + While these establishment types were busy rationalizing how they could support Tr*mp -- a man whose commitment to the Republican Party is, um, loose at best -- the backers of the billionaire businessman were pouring out of the Trojan horse that had been dragged into the GOP camp. + And by the time these "leaders" realized what was happening, it was too late. Tr*mp was not only fully in charge of the GOP base but was also purging voices within the party that disagreed with him -- tightening his grip all the while.Which brings us back to Graham's assessment of what the GOP would look like without Tr*mp. It wouldn't look like much -- and certainly wouldn't be a competitive national party.

+ “Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” Ms. Cheney said. “I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former pres-ident’s crusade to undermine our democracy.” + Her defiant exit — and unmistakable jab at the House Republican leaders working to oust her — illustrates Ms. Cheney’s determination to continue her blunt condemnation of Mr. Tr*mp and her party’s role in spreading the false election claims that inspired the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. + On the precipice of the vote to remove her on Wednesday (5-12-2021), she has embraced her downfall rather than fight it, offering herself as a cautionary

tale in what she is portraying as a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. + Emphasizing that framing, Ms. Cheney wore a replica pin of George Washington’s battle flag on Tuesday night as she spoke on the House floor.  “I think Liz understands it’s not worth selling your soul for No. 3 in the minority,” said Barbara Comstock, a former Republican congresswoman from Virginia and a friend of Ms. Cheney’s. “She’s just not going to do that.” + Ms. Cheney’s remorseless last stand — and the chilly reception it received from House Republicans, who cleared from the chamber as she began her remarks — also highlighted how Republican leaders, even in their eagerness to rebuild their party after the riot and Mr. Tr*mp’s stormy departure from the White House, have tethered themselves to his election lies as a matter of survival.

+ Brian Kolfage - the cofounder of a failed crowdfunding effort to build a wall along the US-Mexico border with Steve Bannon - is facing a new tax case after being indicted on federal fraud charges last year. + Newly unsealed court documents show that a federal grand jury in Florida indicted Kolfage over accusations of fraud and filing false tax returns.  Charging documents reviewed by Insider said Kolfage's tax filings for 2019 represented an income of $63,574.  But the documents said Kolfage personally received hundreds of thousands of dollars that year through his "We Build the Wall" project and other organizations. + The charges were first reported by Bloomberg News.In August, federal prosecutors in New York filed an indictment against Kolfage and Bannon, accusing them of using some of the $25 million raised for the "We Build the Wall" organization to line their own pockets. + Two other conservative political operatives, Andrew Badolato and Timothy

Shea, were also charged in the scheme.  The prosecutors accused Kolfage of using $350,000 in donor money to fund a lavish lifestyle, including spending money on home renovations, a boat, a luxury SUV, a golf cart, jewelry, plastic surgery, and credit-card debt. + Kolfage launched the "We Build the Wall" fundraiser in December 2018 during a government shutdown in a failed attempt to raise $1 billion to privately build a US-Mexico border wall.  Tr*mp said he knew nothing about the project after Bannon was charged. + Trump pardoned Bannon, his former campaign chairman and chief White House strategist, on his last day in office. He didn't pardon Kolfage, Badolato, or Shea.

+ Facebook has increasingly become one of the most vital weapons in a political campaign’s arsenal, with its ability to juice small-dollar online-fund-raising numbers into the millions, expand and acquire contact information, help build out data on a campaign’s voter file and provide the most sophisticated advertising platform available. + Few campaigns had tapped into Facebook’s potential for advertising and fund-raising as aggressively as Mr. Tr*mp’s. His successful 2016 campaign said its prolific use of Facebook had allowed it to send millions of different, hyper-targeted political ads to small slices of the population. + “Facebook was the method,” Brad Parscale, the Tr*mp campaign manager in 2020 and digital director in 2016, told “60 Minutes” in 2017.  “It was the highway which his car drove on.”  That continued in 2020, as his re-election operation devoted a nine-figure budget to Facebook advertising.  And much as he did with his Twitter account, Mr. Tr*mp often turned to Facebook’s advertising

platform in times of political crisis. + During Mr. Tr*mp’s first impeachment trial in September 2019, his campaign began flooding Facebook with ads criticizing the impeachment as a hoax and subversive effort by far-left Democrats. + Though Mr. Tr*mp is out of office and living at his resort in Florida, he retains broad influence over the Republican Party.  But his platform for reaching Americans has diminished greatly without access to big social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, which has permanently suspended the former pres-ident.  Some Tr*mp aides think that the absence of Facebook, which was crucial to his success in 2016, will hinder him if he decides to run again in 2024, which he has told several advisers is his plan. + Facebook’s ruling was delivered by an oversight board, which also said the company’s indefinite suspension was “not appropriate’’ and gave Facebook six months to come up with a final decision on whether Mr. Tr*mp would regain access. + His Facebook ads proved a useful tool to draw out big crowds to his signature rallies.  Days before the president was scheduled to arrive in a given city, Facebook users around the region would begin seeing ads about the rally, with a link to sign up for a free ticket. + The decision by Facebook does not immediately hamper Mr. Tr*mp’s fund-raising ability — he still maintains control of a large number of supporter email addresses and phone numbers. But fund-raising lists must be continually refreshed, and Facebook has proved a crucial place for Mr. Tr*mp to do so.

+ A Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General report made public Thursday (4-22-2021) also found that tensions between the department and the Office of Management and Budget resulted in unprecedented procedural hurdles that produced delays in the disbursement of the congressionally approved funds. + It all started after 2018 when OMB began requiring HUD to send grant notices for disaster funds through an interagency review process for approval, making it hard for HUD to publish the notices needed to unlock funding in a timely manner.  Investigators found that OMB had never before required such a review process for a notice allocating recovery funds. + Former HUD Deputy Secretary Brian Montgomery told investigators about a phone call he had with then-OMB Director Russell Vought in which Montgomery told Vought the actions from his office were equivalent to holding disaster-relief

funds “hostage,” according to the report. + Investigators said they were unable to obtain testimonies from  officials who ordered the interagency review process.  Former HUD Secretary Ben Carson and another former HUD official also declined to be interviewed by investigators. ... + The Tr*mp administration's OMB also insisted on overhauls to Puerto Rico’s property management records, suspension of its minimum wage on federal contracts and other prerequisites to access relief funds, according to the report. Some HUD officials worried such requirements were potentially beyond HUD’s authority to impose on grantees. + The Office of Inspector General began the review in March 2019 after Congress asked it to look into hurricane aid delays as the island sought to recover from a storm that resulted in the deaths of 2,975 people and triggered the world's second-longest blackout.

+ Biden is signing a flurry of executive orders, memorandums and directives to agencies, his first steps to address the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of former Pres-ident Donald Tr*mp's signature policies. ... + With the stroke of a pen, Biden has halted funding for the construction of Tr*mp's border wall, reversed his travel ban targeting largely Muslim countries and embraced progressive policies on the environment and diversity that Tr*mp spent four years blocking. + Biden also reversed several of Tr*mp's attempts to withdraw from international agreements, beginning the process of rejoining the Paris climate accord and halting the United States' departure from the World Health Organization -- where Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, will lead the US delegation. + His first action was to impose a mask mandate on federal property, a break in approach to dealing with the pandemic from Tr*mp, who repeatedly downplayed the virus. Biden also installed a coronavirus response coordinator to oversee the White House's efforts to distribute vaccines and medical supplies.

+ Signaling his commitment to quickly confront climate change, President-elect Joe Biden is planning to move within days to quash the controversial multibillion-dollar Keystone XL pipeline, according to two individuals familiar with the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it had not been announced yet. + The politically symbolic pipeline, promoted by the oil and gas industry since it was first proposed about 15 years ago, has drawn opposition because it would

carry tar sands, or heavy bitumen, from the boreal forests of northern Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The energy used in extracting these molasses-like petroleum supplies would contribute heavily to climate change. + The move is one of a flurry of environmental actions Biden plans to take after being sworn into office Wednesday. He has already announced that he will rejoin the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change on his first day as president, and his aides are looking at other policies ranging from approving wind projects off the East Coast to restoring protections for national monuments that Pres-ident Tr*mp unilaterally undercut.

+ “So if you read my speech … people thought that what I said was totally appropriate,” Tr*mp insisted as he headed to Texas to tour parts of the barrier he ordered constructed on the US-Mexico border as part of his hardline immigration policies. ... + Democrats have directly linked the speech, and previous Tr*mp comments, to the carnage that unfolded when rioters, some carrying Confederate flags, fought with police and looted congressional offices. House Democrats have led demands that Tr*mp be removed or face a historic second impeachment. + A handful of senior Republicans in recent days joined calls for Tr*mp to go. And, crucially, the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, indicated to associates that he believes Tr*mp deserves to be impeached, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, with the Kentucky Republican thinking it will make it easier for the party to purge him, as a liability. + The outlet further reported that the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, has toyed variously with asking Tr*mp to resign, supporting impeachment and considering a vote to censure the pres-ident.  And the senior House Republican Liz Cheney said she would vote to impeach Tr*mp.
