It’s been an especially crappy day for disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump.
First, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal for an intervention on the special master appointed to look at documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in August.
An order from the high court was handed down that read:
“The application to vacate the stay entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on September 21, 2022, presented to Justice [Clarence] Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied.”
Even his old buddy Clarence Thomas couldn’t save him.
Later in the afternoon, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol voted unanimously to subpoena the ex-president for testimony regarding his role in the insurrection.
According to The Washington Post:
The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, voted Thursday to subpoena testimony and documents from former president Donald Trump, a dramatic culmination of its year-and-a-half-long investigation, and a sign that the committee wants to continue its work beyond this Congress.
“This is a question about accountability to the American people,” Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said ahead of the vote. “He must be accountable.”
The unanimous vote came at the end of a meeting that also revealed new details about warnings from the Secret Service that armed supporters of Trump would go to the Capitol, with one agent describing that morning as the “calm before the storm.”
That was all it took to trigger Donnie in a major way. But since he’s banned from Twitter and Facebook, he had to settle for a meltdown on his failing Truth Social site, which is reportedly on the verge of a complete financial collapse.
“Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago? Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the Committee is a total “BUST” that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly – A laughing stock all over the World?”
That was followed by this one:
“The Unselect Committee knowingly failed to examine the massive voter fraud which took place during the 2020 Presidential Election – The reason for what took place on January 6th.”
And that was followed by an attempt to blame others for Jan. 6, even though he and his ragtag bunch of would-be revolutionaries are the ones solely responsible for what took place:
“Why didn’t Crazy Nancy Pelosi call out the ‘troops’ before January 6th, which I strongly recommended that she do. It was her responsibility, but she ‘didn’t like the look.’ Crazy Nancy failed the American People!”
He’s scared. He realizes everything is falling apart.
