Headline:

BREAKING: President Trump Reveals the Dirty Jan. 6 Committee Illegally Destroyed their Records and Documents Now that He Has Full Subpoena Power

President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell report on his Truth Social platform that the sham committee overseeing the investigation of the January 6th Capitol riot has destroyed their documents and records illegally.

On Tuesday, Trump wrote:

So now that I have full Subpoena Power because of the Freedom of Speech Sham Indictment by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and the DOJ, it has just been reported that the Unselect January 6th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs has illegally destroyed their Records and Documents. This is unthinkable, and the Fake Political Indictment against me must be immediately withdrawn. The system is Rigged & Corrupt, very much like the Presidential Election of 2020. We are a Nation in Decline!

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes, during a recent interview, said that special counsel Jack Smith made a huge mistake in indicting Trump related to Jan. 6 incident because it gives him the power to subpoena people.

“They’ve made a huge mistake with this one, because even though we thought what was going to happen was they were going to go after him for treason or sedition, they did criminally charge him, but they didn’t go to that extreme. As a result, he has due process, so he can subpoena people and bring things in,” she said.

A couple thoughts:

Donald Trump makes himself hard to like on a personal level. By this point, I've seen a slew of Ramaswamy interviews, and Vivek has no problem going straight into the lion's den and interviewing with hostile reporters. During these interviews, Vivek is clear as to his position, and he doesn't back down, but he's also extremely polite and well spoken. Trump's tendency to use childish labels like "Crooked Joe Biden" and "Deranged Jack Smith" just comes off as petulant. (If Trump could figure out how to create these labels and use them in clever, witty ways, I'd be much more amenable to the labeling.) Now statistically speaking, Trump is far and away the most likely presidential candidate for the GOP side—that's undeniable. But I think he could learn from the smooth urbanity of someone like Vivek.

All that said, I hope Trump uses his subpoena power to the fullest and, with the help of capable lawyers, airs all of the dirty laundry. He's the cornered animal right now, so he has little choice but to fight, even fighting dirty if necessary.

What will MAGA conservatives do if Trump is sent to jail? Will they try physically to prevent this from happening? Will there be fire teams of vets and loyalists rescuing the president as he's driven to the lockup, pouring hot lead into the motorcade, then carrying Trump off to some undisclosed location? Or will the MAGA right bow passively before the court's decision to imprison Trump? And doesn't imprisoning Trump turn him into a martyr?

Much to think about, but to me, it feels as if civil war is creeping closer.
