Wouldn't it be reasonable and necessary for Merrick Garland to review the findings in the Mueller report, conduct follow up investigations as necessary concerning Trump's dealings with Russia in connection with the 2016 election, and then determine to move forward with prosecution of Trump at least for obstruction and witness tampering? Doesn't the new attorney general have a duty to pursue this? Mueller's determination to not prosecute Trump was based on Presidential immunity, but it's gone now.
What do you think is the best way to combat the disinformation and outright lies be told daily on Fox News? I find their assault on democracy to be especially dangerous & repugnant.
Why do you suppose that the committees investigating the Jan 6th insurrection have not put the acting Pentagon Chief and/or Defense Chief/ that Donnie John put into place a few weeks before the riot UNDER OATH to ask him/them this, "Did anyone from the administration request that you change the process by which the Capitol police request help---ie make it more difficult to get Nat'l Guard troops.....:(or other questions that would implicate the admin) Isn't it obvious that Donnie put new people into lead positions so that he could DIRECT them to do certain things that would slow down response times in case of a capital breach? Wouldn't putting those people under OATH to testify clarify from whom they are taking their instructions/directions? It seems like nobody is getting to the heart of the matter, IMHO.
Thank you for all you do. You helped me survive the Trump presidency and I am not speaking in hyperbole. I thought I was going crazy seeing people I know and love who are smart that got conned by Trump and his family.
Trump was a monster and article after article you linked to provided evidence I was not going crazy seeing all of this stuff.
They at first thought I was the one who was nuts but most have realized they were conned now.
On a scale of disastrously pessimistic to glorifyingly optimistic, how would you describe your thoughts on whether our democracy will survive, and maybe even strengthen, over the next five years? I still go from one extreme to the other, though I do spend a bit more time on the positive end of the scale since Biden was elected. Who would you suggest we follow on social media to keep our balance?
Any thoughts on the Trump/Turkey Halkbank case that has been renewed now that Biden team is allowing information to be gathered? Also, if Barr interfered in the case, would/could he be in some legal trouble?
Thank you for all your hard work on PROOF and for gathering all the pieces together in regards to 1/6.
One thing, that has been on my mind n haven't been able to find any reporting on is - what was Trump's end game for 1/6?
I mean, I have read most of your reporting on how the planning was formed months, weeks, n days in advance. But I haven't read anything on his plan for the end of that day, had the mob succeeded.
My mind wonders, if he was to show up at the steps of the Capitol n declare himself the President. Or worse was his plan to decapitate (figuratively) US gov leadership (the next 3 in line were in that building that day) n just take over?
If you have any insight on this topic, I would like to hear it. Thank you!
Also, I was a Biden campaign research volunteer who may have additional information helpful to your efforts to investigate Ali Alexander's connection and am wondering how I can send you that info privately ?
Apologies- 2nd question from me of something that’s really bothering me - why do you think Biden will not push back / support ending the filibuster esp for H.R 1?
Press Secretary Jen Pasaki was asked this last night on the Reid Out. Her answer: (paraphrasing) Biden believes in trying for bipartisanship and that he believes it is still possible. IMO Joy Reid’s face looked shocked with that Pekaski’s *naive* answer.
By all media accounts, by all statements coming from the GQP opposing HR1, there is no way this bill will pass with the filibuster in place. Knowing this is such an important bill, that will shape elections for years to come, that the GQP is literally doing a full frontal assault on voting rights (based on THE BIG LIE that there was election fraud in 2020), why on Earth wouldn’t Biden, Pelosi, Schumer push back as hard as possible to end the filibuster? This really baffles and upsets me. Thanks for your thoughts.
Hi! Thank you for highlighting the details of the insurrection in such great detail. Your work is key to this investigation and fascinating.
Leading up to the events on 1/6 I had been following Qanon out of curiosity along with Flynn, Lin Wood, Sydney Powell, Don jr. etc. I found the crossover of military, Trump and QAnon concerning. I observed Flynn’s subtle yet very direct incitement of his veteran/Q following almost daily and was aware of the direction it was going. I mistakenly assumed that the FBI was monitoring as well as I was—a regular citizen. Sadly they weren’t.
If you can answer, I would like to ask what your thoughts are on Michael Flynn’s involvement? I found him to be at the epicenter of the Trump, Veteran and QAnon connection leading up to 1/6.
Additionally, is there any chance there’s a way to contact w/ tips?
I think you have it brilliantly covered but I would like to share two individuals who I observed ( on twitter) to be in connection.
I’m so thankful for your work because I felt at times these things would not have been uncovered. The amateur connections I was able to make seemed to be going unnoticed- until I discovered you!

So thank you. I'll always keep reading you.
Will they ever vote to bar Trump from running for federal office ever again, or is that possibility gone?
I very much enjoyed the lecture you posted from your journalism course. Would you ever consider sharing other lectures?

Why are we not hearing more about January 5 events on major media outlets? Am I missing it? Thanks for your work.
Any thoughts on Cy Vance?
Any idea what Erik Prince has contributed to the Jan insurection?
And btw THANK YOU for the immense amount of time and energy that you give to the work that you do for us.
Seth, do you believe AG Garland will investigate Cruz, Hawley, and DJT related to the insurrection mob violence on the Capitol?
Also, I was a Biden campaign research volunteer who may have additional information helpful to your efforts to investigate Ali Alexander's connection and am wondering how I can send you that info privately ?
