Here's how bombshell Jan. 6 texts put 'a ton of pressure on Merrick Garland'

Seth Meyers mocks Trump's Florida rally as an episode of 'Drunk History' — but he was 'stone-cold sober'

Seth Meyers knocked President Donald Trump for the small rally in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend as the 2020 loser struggled to describe the 1800 election. He falsely believes Thomas Jefferson stopped the Electoral College from selecting a different president.

"Mike — had he had the courage to do what Thomas Jefferson did but a minor version," said Trump. "You know, Thomas Jefferson, he kept Georgia, he didn't send it back. There was a dispute. Hear ye, hear ye, the great state of Georgia is unable to properly calculate its votes. Thomas Jefferson was sitting where Mike was. Right where Mike was. You know what he said? Hear ye, hear ye, we will keep the votes of the red state — he didn't send it back to the legislature. No. All I wanted, and a lot of people wanted Mike to do, is to send that back."

Former FBI official unleashes on Trump's coup: 'I've been careful — but this was a subversion of our military'

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi said on Monday that while he has so far withheld assigning blame to President Donald Trump for the security failures that occurred on Jan. 6, new reports about how the White House wanted to use the National Guard have changed his mind.

"Make no bones about it," Figliuzzi said during an appearance on MSNBC. "I have been measured. I have been careful. I'm an evidence guy. But I'm now seeing the evidence, and this was an attempt to subvert the military for an authoritarian purpose. That's not good."

Post reporter explains why Trump has no chance to ever win any of his Jan. 6 cases

Legal analysts have said that allies of former President Donald Trump are working to run out the clock on the Jan. 6 House Committee. Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, Washington Post reporter Carol Leonig characterized the appeals courts as being completely unwilling to give Trump a break on his lawsuits to protect any evidence from being exposed by the committee.

"A lot of people were listening in, if you will, as advisers to Donald Trump, as cheerleaders for Donald Trump's effort to claim that the election was rigged and stolen, especially in late December," she began. "And this PowerPoint presentation, which my colleagues so, you know, explosively, as you say, report, was one in which it was promulgating ideas and options for how to change the electors, how to claim that there was hacking that made the election corrupt. And Mark Meadows, to our understanding, was being briefed on ways that perhaps the government could help Mr. [Philip] Waldron, this retired Army colonel, help him establish that foreign governments or others had hacked the election."

Videos show embarrassingly sparse Trump and Bill O'Reilly's rally

The Orlando, Florida rally with former President Donald Trump and disgraced former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly certainly attracted thousands of people, but it was a far cry from selling out the venue. In fact, photos show the entire upper mezzanine was sparse. It was supposed to have been closed off, but it appears that some were able to get to the top rows.

While Trump typically didn't charge for his campaign rallies, his joint events with O'Reilly start at $100 for the cheap tickets. It could have been the major barrier to the crowd size as many folks are using extra income to buy Christmas presents.
