John Boehner, the Republican former House speaker, issues a stinging denunciation in his new book of Donald J. Trump, saying that the former president “incited that bloody insurrection” by his supporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and that the Republican Party has been taken over by “whack jobs.”
The criticism from Mr. Boehner in his book, “On the House: A Washington Memoir,” represents an extraordinary public rebuke by a former speaker of the House toward a former president from his own party and shows how much the Republican Party has shifted since Mr. Boehner left Congress in 2015. And his remarks came as Mr. Trump has sought to retain his grip on Republican lawmakers’ loyalty from his new political base in South Florida.

WASHINGTON — On Jan. 6, Joe Biggs, a former Army staff sergeant turned Proud Boys lieutenant, led the far-right group to the Capitol from the Washington Monument, charged over the wreckage of police barricades, pulled down another barrier, faced off with the police and then filmed himself.
“We’ve just taken the Capitol!” Mr. Biggs shouted to the world.
All that was laid out in court documents, but it was also in plain view. Mr. Biggs, indictedlast month on charges that included conspiracy and destruction of government property, potentially faces decades in prison for his role in the Capitol riot.
He has himself to blame. Like other Proud Boys, he helped document the prosecution's case.
“Wanting to show how smart they are, they’ve basically outlined the charges against them,” said Grant Fredericks, a forensic video analyst in Seattle who examined the online evidence against Mr. Biggs and Proud Boys facing similar charges.

Damn dude, with all these original thoughts in your head, you should probably do more bong loads and start a drum circle club.

because it's an active investigation that is producing the largest criminal case in history? i guess it's not going away anytime soon.

So nothing on this...?
Huh.
You can clearly hear the Capitol Police officer address the other officer who Escorted this lunatic in conversing.
Why wasn't he instantly, tazed/maced/cuffed?
Huh?
The entire video is less than 40 sec.
Anyone?

So you're saying we will never get to the bottom of it and it will all be swept under the rug and nobody will be held accountable. Got it. Thanks.
No, I'm sayin that people like you have no leg to stand in on terms of asking why we are still talking about the capitol riots, after you guys were in a 4+ year rage spiral over Benghazi :trout: You guys questioned why the response was so slow to help an embassy in a hostile foreign country 1000s of miles away, while Trump refused to dispatch police officers for hours in his own backyard :trout:
