"Donald Trump has been quiet about January 6 lately. But this week, he suddenly unleashed an epic rant on social media about special counsel Jack Smith, raging about false new claims on the right that the 'deep state' deliberately allowed the insurrection to go forward—against Trump’s will."

"The real cause of Trump’s fury? Smith is set to submit a court filing detailing his evidence of Trump’s alleged January 6–related crimes, some of which may become public."

Sargent interviews Kyle Cheney, who says it's no accident Trump is exploding now about Smith's findings, since they're likely to contain damning new information about Trump's Jan. 6 involvement we have not yet heard.

The GOP megadonors behind Jan 6 remain unscathed.

The only way to get 147 election deniers in Congress is a strong-arming pressure campaign by the donors.

Who pressured lawmakers to deny that Biden won?

Intel
AT&T
Cigna

Uihlein
Hendricks
Fancelli
Pat Byrne
Larry Ellison

There were more donors involved in the Jan 6 coup plot. Who else was involved?

"Trump had a number of reasons to melt down today.

Special counsel Jack Smith filed with U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan his detailed report on the evidence he will use to prove that Trump broke the law when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump lawyers tried unsuccessfully to put this filing date off until after the election."

"The filing is sealed and includes previously unseen material, including interview and grand jury transcripts. Trump’s team can respond; its answer is due October 17.

The filing is clearly on Trump’s mind. This morning, he posted on social media that 'Deep State subversives' had ignored his orders to prevent unrest on January 6, 2021."

"Then, in his press conference, Trump bizarrely suggested that he was not at fault for the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The person to blame, he said, was then–House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whom he also accused of stock fraud. "
