Diff tween MSM & law enforcement

The real story of the factors that led so many ordinary people to fall for an obvious trolling effort is far more interesting, pathetic, and important.

DoJ protest strategy shifts

No longer "low hanging fruit"

Likely building up confessions & plea deals to get to higher-ups. (we've seen a number of items that might lead to Roger Stone, for example. The Matt Gaetz diversion gave him a chance to blow off steam, vent against Dems, but won't last)

And at what point does it tangibly touch Trump?

Still, it won't be quick. But unlike Mueller investigations, there's more chance of real followup than the illusory one under Barr and predecessors, esp. because there's no Rosenstein snake playing both sides but really helping Trump. Instead it's the actual DoJ. But still, these things take time to get to actually desirable targets, not small fish.

Nancy Pelosi:

America’s heart has been broken by the tragic & heroic death of one of our U.S. Capitol Police heroes: Officer William Evans. He is a martyr for our democracy. May it be a comfort to his family that so many mourn with them & pray for them at this sad time. https://t.co/CVKmYpgDvv

Hmmm, where's the statement about how if a mentally-ill white person had hit two white cops with his car at a barricade and came at them with a knife, he would not have been fatally shot? That there was no need to use their gun, they did so because he was a young black male?

Daily News' cover gets the fear thing, and also, by using the word "maniac" sort of wipes out a lot of conspiracy thinking. I have a tendency to think that is a good way to approach it! Makes readers rethink where they are putting their thoughts, i.e., are we doing a post 9-11 thing again?
