Poor Donald Trump is scared silly that he might pay a price for his treasonous, failed coup attempt. He’s lashing out incoherently at his political foes<\/a><\/strong>. His former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, who already turned over damning records to the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection, is now retreating to the shelter of the 5th Amendment to avoid incriminating himself – and Trump.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

It may be too little to late for Meadows whose defiance of a congressional subpoena will likely result in a charge of criminal contempt<\/a><\/strong>. What’s more, among the records he provided is a PowerPoint presentation detailing Trump’s plans to undermine democracy<\/a><\/strong> and install himself as dictator. All of this malarkey is rooted in his “Big Lie”<\/em> about the 2020 Presidential election that he is afraid to debate.<\/p>\n

Adding to Trump’s woes is the D.C. Court of Appeals ruling<\/a><\/strong> rejecting his bid to suppress the release of his communications with the insurrection plotters. In a desperate play to spin this bad news in his favor, Trump fled to his personal media panic room, Fox News, to pump out some positive propaganda. He called into Laura Ingraham’s program where he knew he would be greeted with slobbering sympathy and unfettered freedom to lie.<\/p>\n

Trump wasn’t disappointed. Ingraham allowed him to reframe the deadly riots in the Capitol on January 6th by violent StormTrumpers as merely a protest. Instead, Trump maligned the millions of Americans who honored democratic ideals by voting on Election Day as the “real”<\/em> insurrection. Then Trump unleashed this morsel of mendacity (video below)<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Ingraham:<\/strong> Do you think your nominees to the Court are going to uphold your claims of executive privilege in this case?
\nTrump:<\/strong> Well, I hope they do. I’ll tell you, the biggest loser would be Biden because if it ever changes, and I think it will, then he won’t be able to use it with respect to Hunter and all of the things that are going on that are so terrible. So I would think he’d want to see this upheld, frankly. I think it’s very important for him. Honestly, I have nothing to hide. I wasn\u2019t involved in that. And if you look at my words and what I said in the speech, they were extremely calming, actually. But I would think that the Democrats would like to see it, and I think secretly they would like to see it upheld.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course Trump hopes that the Justices he placed on the Court obey his divine will. That’s why he put them there. But legal experts are predicting that they might show some measure of independence and allow the D.C. Appeals Court ruling to stand.<\/p>\n

More to the point, Trump inexplicably declares that “I have nothing to hide.”<\/em> Which is a peculiar stance for someone who is suing Congress to keep his White House records hidden. An innocent person would be anxious to release documents that he thought would exonerate him. But Trump wants people to believe that he is appealing the Court decision to the Supreme Court because he has nothing to hide.<\/p>\n

And if that weren’t preposterous enough, Trump is claiming that the sermon he delivered<\/a><\/strong> to his cult disciples prior to the Capitol riots was “extremely calming.”<\/em> Which part of that speech do you suppose he was referring to? Here are some excerpts that he might regard as calmative:<\/p>\n
