Discussion Harry Dunn on Substack today

76 Upvotes

I remember where I was four years ago today. Do you?

I was gearing up to do my job on January 6, 2021. That day was just like any other day, except on that day, our lawmakers were preparing to certify the results of the 2020 election. President Biden had won, but Donald Trump and his associates were actively working to overturn the results of the election before January 6th.

At the time, I was a Capitol Police Officer. I would report to work daily, man my post, and make sure that our Capitol Building is protected against all threats. We rarely had any actual threats, so oftentimes the job may have seemed mundane. But, little did I know that on January 6th, my life, and our country, would change forever.

Now, four years after that devastating day, Donald Trump is gearing up to take office again. And with him will come chaos and obstruction. We saw it during his first four years, and we are seeing it again already. Donald Trump and Elon Musk worked to shut down our government because they were unhappy with a bipartisan deal cut between Republicans and Democrats. As a result, there was complete chaos on Capitol Hill for days.

Days later, Trump is back to his old ways of threatening those on the January 6th Committee like former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who stood her ground.

Luckily, Democrats did not bite. Instead, they fought tooth and nail and kept our government open and ensured that disaster relief aid would be passed and our troops and federal employees would not be furloughed during the holiday season. They showed true leadership. Donald Trump and Elon Musk did not.

This is just the beginning though. As I write to you during this holiday season, I reminisce about the days before our Capitol Building was almost burned down. We really thought that Trump’s 2020 loss would be the end of him and the MAGA movement. Yes there was some chaos in the final days of his term in 2020, but there was hope for the future.

Now, writing this post, a lot of that hope is lost for me and many of you. But, that is exactly why I am standing my ground and not giving up.

During the next four years, I am going to be more active than ever. I am going to stand my ground against any threats I face from Trump and his cronies. And, I am just getting started. Earlier this week, I met with Senator Lisa Murkowski to oppose the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director. He is far too dangerous to serve.

Standing our Ground, Harry Dunn on Substack

Our HOA president was there on January 6th

Tonight I found out my shitty HOA president was present for the January 6th insurrection and live streamed it to his YouTube channel. He never entered the building though so he was never charged with anything. He’s an absolute dick and I’d love to turn him in if this is still considered a crime.

"Arizona prosecutors seek access to trove of Trump allies’ emails, texts

410 Upvotes

It been a long-known fact the FBI has cloned the phones of Scott Perry, Paul Gosar, and Jim Jordan and is sitting on the evidence of their collusion with the Jan. 6th insurrectionists. Now comes word Arizona prosecutors have received a cache of additional evidence in their indictments for the attempted subversion of the 2020 election by Trump and his co-conspirators; conspirators who treasonously attempted to Overthrow the Government of the United States.

Until now all this evidence has been kept under seal and hidden from the view of the citizens of America,

But not for much longer.

Soon the dastardly and bastardly treacherous plot will be revealed, and a good portion of the Republican Congress will be exposed for their disloyalty and will suffer the complete contempt of the American people.

Trump's crimes, though not yet punishable, will be exposed also, and his eventual impeachment assured.

'The wheels of justice...'.

Look at this:

By Kyle Cheney

The Arizona prosecutors who charged some of President-elect Donald Trump’s top allies for their roles in his effort to subvert the 2020 election have obtained — but not yet reviewed — a large cache of their emails, texts and phone records. Recent court filings show that Attorney General Kris Mayes’ team obtained search warrants months ago for data from the Google and Apple iCloud accounts of close Trump allies such as Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Boris Epshteyn. The data covers the three-month period between Nov. 1, 2020, and Feb. 1, 2021. But a court order prohibits prosecutors from combing through the material until each defendant has a chance to review it and screen out irrelevant information. And in the meantime, Meadows has asked the judge in the case to scrap the data altogether, claiming the state’s search warrant was overly invasive and lacked evidence of his connection to the alleged conspiracy.

Arizona prosecutors are continuing to advance one of the only remaining significant criminal cases arising from Trump’s 2020 gambit to stay in power. And the fight over the data shows the prospect that significant details of that effort may still remain shielded from public view. A grand jury convened by Mayes, a Democrat, in April indicted 18 Trump allies related to the 2020 plot. The grand jury identified Trump as a co-conspirator in the case but opted against charging him, partly at the urging of prosecutors.

There is more, much more:
