The Untold Story of How the Republican Attorneys General Association, Funded with Large Sums from Corporate Felons, Including OxyContin Drug Pusher Purdue, Participated in Recruiting the Mob that Attacked the Capitol — Pam and Russ Martens

If there was ever a DEFCON 1 warning to Americans that campaign finance reform must be a top priority of the incoming President Biden administration, it is the cautionary tale of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and their recruitment efforts of the mob that descended on the Capitol of the United States on January 6. Five people are now dead from that siege, including a Capitol Police officer, and dozens injured. The U.S. Attorneys office for Washington, D.C. has also confirmed that two live pipe bombs with timers were found in front of the Republican National Committee and Democrat National Committee, both located near the Capitol.

When one thinks of a group with the word “Association” in their name, it invokes the idea that this is a fraternal organization or a trade association. What doesn’t come to mind is that it is a campaign financing group to elect Republican Attorneys General – the highest law enforcement officer in a state – by taking vast sums of money from the very companies committing crimes in those states. But that is what RAGA has been doing for many years now....

Some good news and bad news...

The good news: The Auschwitz guy has been arrested.

The bad news: The Confederate Flag guy is still at large.

Again, take this to court.
After charges are filed, then you can release the untold story.

The whole story has not been told yet, but we are getting an idea of the outlines.

Charges are being filed and suspects pursued not yet in custody are being pursued by the FBI. The guy behind Pelosi's desk was apprehended and charge, and shortly thereafter he shot himself.

The books that tie all this together will begin to appear in six months to a year, although preliminary accounts will be rushed to press with incomplete information. I am quite sure that publishers are already writing up contracts.

In the meanwhile, it will dribble out piecemeal.

This is in error. Different person. Sorry for the mistake, which was misreported by SouthFront.

Assuming that crimes were committed, this runs the risk evidence will be destroyed, suspects flee the country, etc.

Journalists are not law enforcement, and are supposed to keep quiet if there's an investigation. If we never hear about RAGA being charged, what does this untold story amount to?

Tim Miller @Timodc 5h

Some insight into where many GOP electeds are at. Here is Senator @kevincramer being asked if he supports *secession* over election theft on a talk radio show and keeping the door open.

"You do make a point though, that is worth discussing."

If North Dakota were to secede from the United States, it would be a nuclear power with the world’s fifth-largest nuclear arsenal.

If any state/organization needs to secede/break up, it’s the Republican Party, Face it, it’s now the party of nutters.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but this is quite freaky. Just watch the video in the article linked below. Note that his hands are clasped and just after he mentions censorship, the hand motions start, then he clasps his hands again:

The claim was first made on the QAnon-focused forum called the Great Awakening, where the poster claimed that Trump’s hand movements at the 4:20 mark in the video represented “dash-dash-dot-dash,” which is the Morse code for the letter Q.

That's rich coming from Matt who believes -- with zero evidence -- that the presidential election was stolen.

Note: Two branches of the US government pushed the "stop the steal" protests -- the Executive Branch (the Orange Cheetoh) and part of the Legislative Branch consisting of Republican lunatics.
