* Trump on ignoring his bully pulpit and staying silent while the Capitol was under attack by his “Stop the Steal” rioters: “I hated seeing it. I thought it was a shame, and I kept asking, ‘Why isn’t she doing doing something about it? Why isn’t Nancy Pelosi doing something about it?’ And the mayor of D.C. also. The mayor of D.C. and Nancy Pelosi are in charge.” Indeed, Trump was only commander in chief and these were merely his parasitic partisans.
* Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said a criminal investigation into Trump and his business practices is continuing “without fear or favor.”
* “Criminalizing dissent.” That’s what Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy accused the Jan. 6 committee of.
* “Donald Trump divides the right while uniting the non-right, which is why Democrats are more eager to talk about him than Republicans are.”–Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch.
