Feats Of Clay

By Baxter

Jack Smith's stolen-documents indictment of Benedict Donald was so elegant — 49 succinct pages, complete with flashbacks to Trump's "but her emails" declarations that he would keep sensitive national secrets safe — that we can hardly wait for his charges on the insurrection of January 6.

The insurrection involves so many additional players — including multiple members of Congress — that it's a sure bet that many of those folks are freaked out in anticipation. As Trump would say, it will be wild! And as others would say: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Biggs, Clay Higgins, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, et. al.: You in danger, girl.

Higgins in particular has grabbed some attention these last couple of days. After the Trump indictment was revealed on Thursday, the Louisiana Congressman tweeted something unintelligible to most normal people: "President Trump said he has been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3 pm. This is a perimeter probe from the oppressors. Hold. rPOTUS has this. Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges. Rock steady calm. That is all."

We won't bore you with translations of all the references, but journos and others who study right-wing extremism immediately rang the alarm bells that Higgins was calling Proud-Boys-types and others to foment violence at Donald's arraignment on June 13. Apparently all the attention caused Higgins to think twice, because today, he followed up with this: "Patriots, we’ve manipulated the MSM to establish deep commo, now copy this…do NOT trip the wire they’ve laid for you. Maintain your family. Live your life. Know your bridges. Hold. Let Trump handle Trump, he’s got this. We use the Constitution as our only weapon. Peace. Hold."

He got visited by the FBI, didn't he? Either way, we cats have no idea if he understands how ridiculous he sounds, and we HISS.
