My fears for this night:
1. That Clarence Thomas and his conservative brethren have unleashed a MAGA militia armed with AR-15s on our streets just in time for the midterms to intimidate and bully voters.

1. That Clarence Thomas and his conservative brethren have unleashed a MAGA militia armed with AR-15s on our streets just in time for the midterms to intimidate and bully voters.
2. That our system of government was saved only by the concerted action of Rosen, Donoghue, Engel and the assistant attorneys at DOJ who stood up to Trump to prevent the Clark letter from being sent. Had it been delivered it would have put a gloss of legitimacy on the slates of alternate electors sufficient to upend the peaceful transfer of power. Barr was not a hero in this. He left at the critical juncture to save his own skin. A single utterance of “Bullshit” does not make you an American hero.
3. That there is a major flaw in the administrative procedures governing the use of “Acting” secretaries and attorneys in the executive branch that avoids the Congressional vetting of replacements and does not mandate replacements from the in-place chain of command. Trump used this to great potential effect at Defense, Homeland Security and Justice especially with Clark.
4. That Klukowski could be brought into Justice so easily at the last minute to apparently act as Clark’s handler and conduit to Eastman. My gut tells me that Eastman is the true author of the Clark letter to the States.
I do have some prayers for the night:
1. For Rosen and company for putting America ahead of Trump and possibly their careers.
2. For Nancy Pelosi for her wisdom in rejecting McCarthy’s proposed slate of committee members and preventing these hearings from being a circus, for McCarthy being stupid enough to walk away, and for Cheney and Kinsinger for stepping up.
3. For the members of the committee for unraveling the tangled web of this seditious conspiracy and presenting it with such clarity.
Let's not hold Rosen and Donaghue too high on a pedestal. Judging by their years of experience, I would guess they have plenty set aside for a comfortable retirement, especially after they write a book together about all this, and are hired as top dollar speakers at events and security and/or think tank consultants.
While I don’t put anyone on a pedestal, I do think that Rosen and Donaghue deserve credit for their service to our nation, I was particularly impressed with Donaghue’s steely, you could tell the man had a backbone, he did serve after all in the 82nd Airborne, meaning that he was a paratrooper, resolve when he stood up to the clown in chief. Donaghue’s put down of Clark showed his disdain for someone who would kiss the ass of the insipid imbecile, to me he was a stand up guy. Yes we had an idiot for a president but it’s a good thing that we didn’t have idiots running the Justice Dept.

Also, pray for Rupert to have a conscience, hahahaha, just kidding…
