Okay, maybe I do need to explain it.You still don't get it.
I fully understand that they wrote the letter with caveats, plausible deniability, etc. These are intelligence pros, after all. You think it gets them off the hook. But it doesn't -- and here's why...
The purpose of the letter was to give the Biden campaign and supporters in the media the imprimatur to be able to say that "intelligence says it's a Russian op." That way, it's not just Biden denying it on his own. He would now have the cover of people who deal professionally with Russian ops to say it was a Russian op.
This was why the Biden campaign asked them to do it.
The purpose of the caveats is to be able to squirm out of it when/if necessary, like they're doing now....so that people who are predisposed to be supportive of Biden also have the cover to say "That's not what they said!"....like you're doing now.
Again, notice that the caveat magically disappeared when Biden referred to it in the debate and elsewhere. It also magically disappeared when the press referred to it -- like here:
I'm sorry. But it's no sale to me. In fact, it's not even close to a sale. What they did was inexcusable and I'm glad we can bring closure to it with something resembling accountability for the people who did it.
He considers them "patriots" and patriotism to him isn't about the country, it's about him. These are his people in his mind. They'd never harm him, remember?
As much sympathy as I have for the J6 criminals, which is something approaching zero, I wouldn't really care much if he gave clemency to the non-violent ones. Giving clemency to the violent ones who assaulted police officers isn't defensible and sends a terrible message.
The most patriotic among us? I'd have to disagree. I'd classify them as a couple thousand idiots who got caught up in a riot. My suggestion is don't hang out with dumb people. Did you have similar feelings during the summer of love?
Thanks for fact checking this.
DisgustingLooks who is out.
Ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio back home after Trump's Jan. 6 clemency
“If we would have gotten a fair trial, I wouldn’t have been in a position where I needed a pardon,” he told reporters.www.nbcnews.com
And that’s exactly why the convictions were complete crap. They were never given a fair trial as the Constitution requires.
Of course they won't see a trial. What they did isn't criminal -- it's protected by the 1st Amendment.
And, once again, the caveat was just a rhetorical gimmick to have it both ways.
Gee whiz Wally, how was I to know that I can't climb through that window that my buddy broke out by hammering it with a chair?
Got it! The Great American experiments such as MK Ultra and Project Mockingbird need enemies.
It should also be noted that there enough members of the mob shouting 'hang Mike Pence' and calling for Nancy Pelosi and she was literally trying to climb through to an area where they were. And she was warned about it. As someone else here said, tragic but justified.
Not to mention pushing past the barriers that were put up to prevent them from entering the building and killing 5 cops along the way. But hey, white supremacist Nazis are gonna do their thing no matter how much truth you throw their way.
Nah, not until he comes up with another but what about to try to distract from it.

Dumbest analogy I think I’ve ever seen. Just colossally stupid.
Uh not if it’s a drug overdose or natural causes like a heart attack as in this case. No workers comp so not in line of duty. So no
Cops killers are fine, but he draws the line at white supremacists.
Me- says something that’s objectively true.He's clueless.
But in addition to the four who took their own lives in the weeks that followed, about 170 law enforcement officers were injured that day, many seriously. Some had to retire and/or are on disability. Michael Fanone, for example, was beaten to a pulp, tased, burned, suffered a heart attack, threatened with his own weapon, listened to chants of "kill him with his own gun!" and referenced his four little kids while pleading for his life.
Fvck everyone who attacked cops. Karma's a bitch. I hope they one day get what they deserve.
Capitol Police chief: Jan. 6 pardons send message that "politics is more important than policing"
President Trump pardoned about 1,500 people convicted of crimes related to the Capitol riot.
Very stupid. Over 2,000 cops were injured during blm bs. A fat cop has a heart attack a week later that’s not a blm injury. Or commits suicide. Overdoses. Whatever
He does nothing but lash out. He has to be the most unhappy person on earth. Never an ounce of humor. Sad stuff
You believe nonsense. Don’t ever claim to support the police or say you believe in law and order and the rule of law again. You are supporting clemency for those that assaulted and injured cops. There is nothing Republican about that.
Yeah, I just jumped into a "discussion" about this with people from my home town. All they can do is cry about the dumb bitch who deserved to get shot and deny that cops are dead as a result of J6. I don't know why I waste my energy, I guess that's the point of all the chaos so that we get too burnt out to continue to fight for what is right, but someone has to do it I guess. 🤷♀️

The trump haters have no legs to stand on with the J6 stuff when most everyone got away with no punishments over the Floyd riots. 196 buildings torched in Minneapolis and only like three people got jail sentences. Give me a break if they had wanted to prosecute these people they would have. Instead they simply turned a blind eye and went on defund the police rants.As I said. Over 2,000
