'They admitted guilt': Columnist appalled by MAGA's attempts to rewrite Jan. 6 history

With Donald Trump the clear Republican frontrunner as 2024 draws closer, his supporters are urgently attempting to re-write the history book involving the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Philip Bump writes in his latest op-ed for The Washington Post.

In order to absolve Trump from his apparent role in sparking the riot, some of his fans are constructing a narrative that the riot was driven mostly by federal informants and left-wing actors. One of those pushing that narrative is Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who claimed on a recent podcast that “nobody could tell me that those were Trump supporters” who were rioting on Jan. 6 — and that she believes “they were Antifa" and "[Black Lives Matter] rioters.”

'Dangerous and corrosive' Matt Gaetz hammered by Fox analyst for driving GOP into a ditch

In a blistering column, Fox News analyst Juan Williams honored Rep Matt Gaetz (R -FL) as "2023's Politician of the Year" — but not in a good way.

According to Williams, Gaetz has been nothing but a disruptive force who has almost single-handedly thrown the House into chaos by leading the charge to oust now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his leadership position and bring the possibility of any meaningful legislation to a halt.

In his column published in The Hill, he charged Gaetz with being both "dangerous and corrosive," adding, "Gaetz deserves a place in history. He is a living monument to an era of elected Republican officials with no interest in governing."

According to the Fox News regular, Gaetz edged out fellow House GOP bomb-throwers Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) and Lauren Boebert (CO), while the embattled and likely soon-to-be-ousted fabulist George Santos (NY) also received consideration.

"But Gaetz takes the prize, for successfully paralyzing the House for the entire year," he wrote. " With his hands on the wheel and driving toward revenge and chaos — all to raise his personal profile and stir up small, online donations — Gaetz crashed the House of Representatives in a ditch on a low road."

According to Williams, Gaetz's antics have been a contributing factor in multiple House members, both Republicans and Democrats, throwing up their hands and heading for the exits by not running again in 2024.

"Gaetz represents the empty heart of a Trump-led party that is only about Trump," he lamented, before concluding, "As we look to 2024, Gaetz and other Trump acolytes make up a disturbing preview of the future of the GOP. For that reason, Gaetz is 2023’s Politician of the Year."

Far-right attorney John Eastman, one of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering case, told conservative publication The Federalist his legal expenses in the case have left him in a dire financial situation.

'Chaos': GOPers in AZ county cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands in election fight

Two Republican county supervisors in a solidly red Arizona county are costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in multiple unsuccessful election-related crusades in the courts.

The Guardian reports that Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd — who both sit on the Cochise County Board of Supervisors — have now been subpoenaed as part of a possible investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's office. Both Crosby and Judd have tried consistently to switch the county's ballot-counting process to a hand count rather than a machine count, resulting in various lawsuits against the county, along with subsequent legal settlements totaling roughly $300,000. Despite Cochise County voting for former President Donald Trump in 2020 by a 19-point margin, Crosby refused to certify his county's election results even after a judge compelled him to do so.

Judge Cannon accused of trying to 'rig the game' for Trump by ex-AG Garland spokesman

During a panel discussion on MSNBC on Saturday morning, the former spokesperson for Attorney General Merrick Garland dropped the hammer on Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon by accusing her of trying to disrupt the multiple trials of Donald Trump.

Appearing with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., Anthony Coley was asked about Cannon's slowness in bringing Trump to trial in the federal obstruction of justice case brought by special counsel Jack Smith over stolen government documents stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, including a multitude of boxes found stored in a bathroom.

Coley was asked by the MSNBC host, "We haven't heard much from Jack Smith understandably. We have not heard much from Merrick Garland the closer that these trials get pushed towards an election. Would you advise either of them to say something publicly about the need to either hold off or the need to press the gas? And if so, which one?"

"I don't imagine them to say anything else out of the courtroom," he began. "Listening to you talk about this is really interesting because my takeaway is that Judge Aileen Cannon, in this case, she feels like she's a referee who is trying to rig the game before any of them starts. That is how I view this."

"The fact of the matter is that the evidence in this documents case is so overwhelming, we are not talking about George, something that a witness may or may not have overheard secondhand in a coffee shop," he added. "We are talking about, here, solid evidence, firsthand accounts from people who were in Donald Trump's employ, with photographic evidence, videotapes from Mar-a-Lago; the government's case here is airtight, I would note."

"They are really successful in winning these types of cases — up to 98 percent of the time," he added.

Rise of violence between lawmakers alarms historian

Republican lawmakers headed into Thanksgiving break needing to cool off after a series of Capitol Hill skirmishes.

It's not unusual for members of Congress to argue and yell — and former House speaker John Boehner claimed that the late Rep. Don Young (R-AK) once held a knife to his throat during a heated debate — but recent drama feels different in the aftermath of Jan. 6, 2021, an expert told Politico.
