More than two years have passed since Donald Trump incited a violent and deadly insurrection against the United States. In the time that has elapsed, abundant evidence of Trump’s complicity has been presented by the press, by law enforcement, and by the House Select Committee investing the January 6th riots, most of whose witnesses were Republicans and former Trump staffers.<\/p>\n

Trump, of course, has spent the past two years whining that he’s innocent and asserting that the whole thing is just another witch hunt and\/or hoax. And on Wednesday morning he reanimated his raging with the release of a new ten page statement<\/a> mostly rehashing the same tired untruths that he’s been peddling all along.<\/p>\n

This latest chapter in Trump’s traitorous tale of villainy and victimhood wasn’t much more than a warmed over rerun of his prior prattling. However, he did feature a new wrinkle in the fabric of his fantasy fiction referencing the utterly contrived conclusions of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files”<\/em> document dumps<\/a><\/strong>. Trump began saying that…<\/p>\n

“Recently, it was shockingly revealed that Twitter colluded with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to Rig and Steal the 2020 Presidential Election in favor of Joe Biden, and to deplatform and illegally censor me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Contrary to Trump’s hyperbole, there were no revelations, shocking or otherwise, and no evidence of collusion with the FBI<\/a><\/strong> to “Rig and Steal the 2020 Presidential Election.”<\/em> The only thing shocking about any of this is the dishonesty of Trump, Musk, and the hacks who worked for them.<\/p>\n

But Trump was just getting started. He continued with his pitiful defense of the charges that he incited the riots in Washington, D.C. on January 6th. He claimed that he was the consummate peacemaker, saying that…<\/p>\n

“The two exonerating Tweets, and the Rose Garden Video, which were posted in the early afternoon of January 6, 2021, and attempted to be hidden by the Unselect January 6th Committee, clearly and unquestionably state my desire that all protestors be peaceful and follow the Law.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s a purposefully deceitful summary of the events on January 6th. First of all, he’s leaving out his hostile rhetoric at his speech on the Ellipse, where he told his cult followers that “We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”<\/em> As for his Twitter and video responses to the violence, aside from being weak and insincere, they weren’t released until long after the riots began and much damage was already done. According to the timeline<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n
