The report concludes: “Trump was the driving force at every turn as he orchestrated what would become an attempted political coup in the months leading up to Jan. 6, calling his supporters to Washington, encouraging the mob to march on the Capitol and freezing in place key federal agencies whose job it was to investigate and stop threats to national security.” It notes that the former president did not make any effort to stop the attacks until it was clear they wouldn’t succeed, and that lawmakers assumed he was backing the rioters.

Stop calling it an "insurrection." That word implies a popular uprising, undirected and unplanned, of people who are "mad as hell and not going to take any more."

It was an act of Treason. Treason! Treason, as defined in the Constitution:

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

And I think there will be enough witnesses. Charge Trump with what he did: TREASON.

I was one of the architects of the Financial Institution Development Program funded by the World Bank for the capitalization and modernization of the Russian banking system back in the early 1990s. We analyzed/assessed approximately 350 banks across Russian to determine which 125 would receive World Bank funding/capital infusion. I was the architect of the Scorecard used to qualify and rank these banks. This team of dedicated international development experts, hired and directed by World Bank "management" objectively scored and identified the 125 banks. In the eleventh hour, World Bank "management" added two banks - which did not even yet exist - to the list of awardees. Both of these "banks" were directly linked to Putin. Alpha Bank was one of these banks. This is VERY TELLING....
