Trump Organization lawyers spent days suggesting today's criminal charges would be trivial and underwhelming. Reality is telling a very different story. https://t.co/7CW7HzQkDc

"So far, the danger is to Trump’s friends and his business, not the former president himself. But the danger could spiral," @davidfrum writes. https://t.co/C8msEjWk0z

After reading this indictment, I continue to think Trump will not be charged without Weisselberg’s cooperation, which I don’t expect.

New 40-minute short doc. The Visual Investigations team synchronized and mapped thousands of videos and police audio of the U.S. Capitol riot to provide the most complete picture to date of what happened on Jan. 6 — and why. https://t.co/jBNiYRRjTs

We spent months collecting, synchronizing and mapping thousands of videos of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to provide the most complete picture to date of what happened — and why.

NEW: McCarthy threatens to strip any GOP member of their committee assignments if they accept an offer from Pelosi to serve on 1/6 commission, @jamiegangel reports.
— Ana Cabrera (@AnaCabrera) July 1, 2021
After the votes on impeachment, the Jan. 6 commission, and now a House committee, it's fair to say the Republican Party–the whole institutional party, not just a Trumpist wing–is against investigating what led up to or what occurred on Jan. 6, or any accountability for Jan. 6.

Donald Rumsfeld, Killer of 400,000 People, Dies Peacefully https://t.co/coHKGmgWko

I interviewed both Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld.
— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) July 1, 2021
McNamara visibly bore the weight of his catastrophic role in Vietnam. (If you’re in doubt, watch ‘The Fog of War.')
Rumsfeld shrugged off his catastrophic role in Iraq.
'De mortuis' and so on. https://t.co/rC3zwPwwF1
Reaction to Rumsfeld's death is deeply divided https://t.co/8OwCKNkmpk pic.twitter.com/86F0HrPMdw

Reading the takes, from generous to scathing, on Donald Rumsfeld. He was a man of courage, wit, & intelligence, a bureaucratic samurai. But it was all overwhelmed by his tragic, costly hubris. “Often in the wrong, never in doubt” captures the Rumsfeld of both Afghanistan & Iraq.
