Cheney: Bannon's actions suggest Trump was involved in Capitol riot planning

..."Based on the committee’s investigation, it appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advance knowledge of the plans for Jan. 6 and likely had an important role in formulating those plans. Mr. Bannon was in the war room at the Willard on Jan. 6...

I have to hand it to Liz Cheney for standing up to her dangerous colleagues in Congress.

FBI agents swarm Washington home of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska

FBI agents swarm Washington home of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska
FBI agents on Tuesday swarmed the home of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in Washington, D.C., an agency spokesperson confirmed to NBC News...Next door neighbor George Conway, the husband of former President Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, walked over to the house on Tuesday afternoon to snap a photo of the law enforcement activity. Conway said he has never seen Deripaska at the home.

Remember when Steve Mnuchin tried to lift sanctions on Deripaska’s companies?

Yeah. Me too.

I think what's most important about the raid on multiple homes of Oleg Deripaska is it shows that Merrick Garland hasn't forgotten about 2016, Russia, Manafort, Giuliani, and the Trump campaign and he's not going to just let them get a pass. - BlackKnight10K tweet
