6th. but nobody can tell me that if it had been a group of black lives matter protesters yesterday, if there were not they would ve been treated very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the capitol. we all know that that s true. it is unacceptable. totally unacceptable. according to the senate report, in the lead up to january 6th, the intelligence community focused intensely on black led racial justice protests. while effectively ignoring threats from right-wing domestic terrorists. in the summer of 2020, just a few months before the attack, protests erupted across the country over the killing of george floyd. according to the senate report, during those protests, intelligence leadership was particularly focused on civil unrest in portland. everything relating to it was treated as being urgent. intelligence collectors were pressured to find evidence to ....
But obviously we have a civil burden much lower. that would involve some novel application of laws that typically would not have been applied in that type of situation. we just have not had that fact pattern. the fact pattern in the mar-a-lago case is exactly what you described when you reported on the former fbi agent that just got sentenced to prison. this happens, i don t want to say all the time, but routinely enough where it is very open and shut, black and white type of case. any case brought against the former president of the united states should be just that. no special counsel or attorney general is going to want to push such a novel case, because the ramifications for losing that case are going to be horrible for the country. obviously, the conviction is horrible for the country, but good for the rule of law. we will see what happens with january 6th, but i expect the ....
