I don't care whose fault it is or who should have done what, but a dude with a bunch of billions in his war chest could throw some cash to people rotting in jail because they stood up when he called.

My "go-to" person who seems to understand the situation better than anyone else and its implications is Chris Cuomo. His family is political royalty in New York State. His dad was governor of New York. His brother was governor of New York State.
Eric Holder says
shitload of differense
Are you blaming Trump for the jailing of his supporters?
Having a good lawyer makes a shitload of differense when being prosecuted and these people who fell on the sword for him need every bit of help they can get.

are there any good lawyers that would be willing to defend them knowing what they are up against with our "new" legal system and risk ruining their careers?
Shame on all of you calling for more bloodshed.
No idea, but you don't know until you try.

try what? hiring a big time legal firm? how do you know that they haven't?
This is a weird conclusion from the post you quoted. Obviosly, Trump is blamed for not helping people who stuck their necks out for him and now being persecuted. He definitely has the means to help with their legal expenses, at least partially. It would send a powerful message.
More over you do realize there were multiple Go Fund Me and other source funding sites that raised millions for all of their defense. But the J6 committee yes the Liz Cheney Persecution Committee seized all of that money and declared it illegal. There was a big uproar over how Kamala Harris could back ANTIFA and BLM thugs, but nobody could pay the legal bills of the J6 persecuted victims.
I think your News Retention memory only runs from Nightly News to Nightly News.
I don't think you have been paying attention. We're past the legal state, there is no legitimate court system in our country at this point.
wo American F-16's dropped precision guided bombs on "Iranian-backed" forces in Syria today
It would send a powerful message.
I don't give a fuck about gofundmes.
The Hamas people hide in tunnels and among civilians in the Gaza Strip.
💣 A photo of a series of recently-collapsed tunnels in Kahn Yunis, Gaza, gives you an idea of what Hamas has been doing with all the aid money and construction materials it has received from the U.S. and other countries over the last decade.
In Gaza, there are cities above the ground, and there is a giant insectile tunnel city under the ground:
Question asked: NBC News ran a story yesterday headlined, “Gaza is plagued by poverty, but Hamas has no shortage of cash. Where does it come from?” The sub-headline explained, “Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and other assets worth $500 million, say experts, and an annual military budget of as much as $350 million.”
How about that? Qatar and Iran are Hamas’ largest funders. One suspects the U.S. is also somewhere on that list, paying U.S. tax dollars over for “humanitarian assistance” to a group worth half a billion. And that net worth is just what Hamas publicly admits to, the legal side of the operation.
So don’t worry. Financially, the terror group is doing very well.
Israel is engaged in as much of a civil war between Left and Right as its godfathers in Europe and North America are enduring. On top of that, Israel decided to become the poster-child for Covid-19 vaccination “uptake.” It seemed like a valiant stand in the first flush of the Covid “crisis,” but now it looks more like they poisoned more than 90-percent of their population. You don’t hear much about it these days, but it’s lurking there, just like the massive vaccine damage that Europe and America have by stealth sustained lurks in the background of rising war fever and disintegrating economies.
CAMBRIDGE, MA — Notorious Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will soon be relocating to the U.S. as a Senior Fellow at Harvard University in the field of international relations.
"We are honored to welcome such an austere scholar to these hallowed halls," said Harvard Dean Rakesh Khurana. "Mr. Haniyeh brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in diplomacy, public relations, and terrorizing innocent Jews — all things we prize highly here at Harvard. We know his valuable and unique perspective will expand the young minds who come here to learn."
Sources say the position will add to the diversity of the staff and provide Haniyeh with a salary of $780,000 per year.
"Inshallah, I hope to remain in this position for years to come, molding young minds to seek the glory of martyrdom as they spill the blood of the Jews," said Haniyeh. "Death to Israel and death to America. Allahu Akbar."
At publishing time, the Dean had politely asked Haniyeh to please stop throwing rocks at Jews in the quad.

The Fed Gov has a terrifying conviction rate. Virtually nobody 'wins' so few try.

Since early Saturday morning, the situation in Israel has had my undivided attention. My "go-to" person who seems to understand the situation better than anyone else and its implications is Chris Cuomo. His family is political royalty in New York State. His dad was governor of New York. His brother was governor of New York State. Chris has worked as a very accomplished television journalist for decades. He is now on the News Nation Network. His show is broadcast at 17:00 and 21:00 Pacific time.
Chris is currently in Israel. He has brought out some surprising facts. First, some 100,000 US citizens live in Israel. Please reflect on this. My reading of this number is that the US is going to get drawn into what happens in Israel during this crisis. President Biden is publicly taking a calm and conciliatory attitude about this crisis. In private I am sure that he acts and talks differently.
Israel has a vibrant and brilliant high-technology industry. 1/5 of Israel's GDP comes from technology earnings. There is a claim that Israel has more high-tech startups than we have in Silicon Valley.
With all this technical prowess, Israel built a wall to separate it from the Gaza Strip. It is a brilliant metal fence with all sorts of electronic sensors and constant drone surveillance. It is far more advanced than anything we have built or will build along the Mexican border.
Hamas defeated this wall. They flew over it with paragliders. They defeated the electronic sensors. They knocked big holes in this fence and drove vehicles through them. I suspect that they spent two years preparing for this incursion. I am also sure that they had help from both Iran and Russia to come up with a plan to defeat this wall.
Your morning newspaper has an excellent article on why Israeli security forces and advanced technology failed. It is a profound warning for the US.
This morning there are many reports of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip rushing to overwhelm the Egyptian border to flee to that country. The resources do not exist in Egypt to handle such a huge influx of refugees.
Israel has set out the goal of eradicating Hamas. The Hamas people hide in tunnels and among civilians in the Gaza Strip. There will be a huge loss of life to achieve this goal.
Thus far, Hezbollah on Israel's other borders has remained quiet. This will not be the case as the hostilities continue. We are heading toward a direct conflict between Israel and Iran.
My advice to Israel and US military planners is to bring in some excellent military advisors from Ukraine. Some unconventional tactics and weapons are going to have to be used. One hint is that Iran has a serious Achilles Heel. Four refineries refine all the oil that they sell for massive foreign exchange earnings. If those 4 oil refineries were taken offline permanently, Iran's economy would collapse. Let your imagination run wild. I was once involved in a high-level war gaming group that looked at an Israeli attack on Iran to destroy its nuclear weapons program.
