his presidency of the national archives today said in a statement that records turned over from the trump white house, quote, included paper records that had been torn up by former president trump. the statement came in response to a request from the washington post about whether some january 6th records had been ripped up and taped back together. yes, all totally normal. so the court had to force him to hand over the documents but when they were handed over, they were torn into bits and scotch taped back together. totally normal. there had been headlines in every major paper in the country yesterday and today, about former president trump this weekend, pledging that he would pardon people, arrested for their part in the mob attack on the capitol on january ofth. he didn t hint at it. he said he would do it. and this is amazing to me. this was the moment at his rally this weekend in which he said he would pardon the january 6th
of view t storming of the u.s. capitol on january 6th was an attack on u.s. democracy that that should never be happened or too much is being made of the storming of the capitol on january ofth and it s time to move on. 80% of democrats said it was an attack on democracy and 74% of republicans said is time to move on. if you are mitch mcconnell, isn t it as simple as a commission examining the insurrection could hurt republicans at the ballot box so it should not happen? yeah, we don t have to try to understand why he is doing this. his pokes said it out loud, john thu ne, the number two in the senate said a commission will take us off message and not allow us to focus on the biden agenda. the former number two talked about politics here and the campaign season and he is not in the business of helping democrats and he is under the impression that the commission being set up will help democrats.
