The house select committee on Jan 6

Or not recorded in the first place

From the article above -

But the presidential call log, typically generated from data recorded when calls are placed by the White House operators, is supposed to be a comprehensive record of all incoming and outgoing calls involving the president through White House channels, the officials said.

The fact that Trump’s call to Lee was routed through an official White House phone with a 202-395 prefix – either through a landline in the West Wing, the White House residence or a “work” cellphone – means details of that call should have been on the call log.

It was not immediately clear how a Trump White House official might obfuscate or tamper with the presidential call log, or who might have the authority to make such manipulations.

You contrasted the two cases. I just responded to you.

I see that you actually visited the USAO page and were able to copy and paste the list of charges. Did you look at the statement of facts or the plea agreement?

What about the child porn case? Have you read any of the court documents for this case? The indictment? Statement of facts? Or did someone tell you what was presented to the court? It might be helpful to know what was actually presented in the case.

Do you not think that a mentally fragile man refused bail and held in solitary confinement with privations for 12 months would agree to any plea agreement to escape his political incarceration and torture? Maybe they drove him to make a plea to avoid having his lawyers activate discovery of the unreleased video footage of the protest and FBI plants.

How is Hillary destroying her phones with hammers OK with Libs. But Trump not using his official phone while outside the WH not OK?

You think the NSA can’t find his calls?

You’re confused. Trump DID use an official White House phone but the record doesn’t reflect the call. Why is that?

Jacob Chansley got Organic Food while in prison because a judge ordered it.

If he was driven to make a plea to avoid having his lawyer blow wide the whole FBI plot… then having his lawyer say so to the judge would have been a wise course of action.

If he used an official phone the NSA will be able to find the calls. You think Trump didn’t know NSA capabilities?

I don’t think they would have told the defendant why thry were keen to avoid discovery.

Like Michael Flynn tried to say to the judge? Did that work for Flynn.

I will take Hillary not the POTUS versus Trump who is POTUS for $800 Alex.

I think that Trump was so indifferent because he thought that everyone worked for him. Remember when he called the Joint Chief’s of Staff “His Generals”?

You are crazy if you think Trump thought he had the deep state in his corner.

I didn’t say anything about the “deep state” because I believe that it was a fantasy. I do believe that Trump felt that any part of the federal government and all of the states were under his control. He even said as much when he said that the states would do whatever he said. Remember that?

You definitely qualify as crazy now. Trump fought four year war against intelligence agencies out to oust him. And he made it very clear that he knew they were against him. There is no way he expected the FBI. NSA or any other alphabet agency was going to protect him.

Trump controlled each agency of the federal government. He could have made any changes that he wanted to. You are the one that is crazy because you think that he didn’t have the power to make any changes he wanted to. Over his time he got rid of multiple folks who started investigations of his practices. The Intelligence agencies did their job and yet Trump denounced them on the world stages.
Do you really think that was right? Trump put his head so far up Putin’s ass where he prayed he could get a tower deal. Tell me with a straight face that he was looking out for the best interest of the USA in that public exchange.

The world is changing. The old global order aiming for one global hegemony is falling out pf favour with the people. It has not provided what it promised. We are moving to a new order of independent civilisation states that have autonomy and interact with one another as those interactions appear favorable for the citizens and their particular civilization.

The US will have its own civilization, as will China, as will Russia. Trump saw that and was trying to set a co-operative framework for US civilization state to deal as an equal with the emerging Russian civilisation state.

Neocons and Libs are stuck in the global hegemony mindset that favors wars and arms manufacturers that would force hegemony onto independent states. Trump saw and approved of the coming order. Dems and neocons were resentful of losing their international status.

Not a prosecutable crime.

Testimony that the election was rigged.

Fragile enough to trespass into a restricted area.

Still doesn’t explain why the call logs were erased.

This is interesting because it involves Sicknick and the bear spray. These are two that do deserve to have a more punitive conviction and sentence IMO.
