Donald Trump caught a significant break this week when the Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a report that said the FBI received information in advance about the January 6th attack on the US Capitol and did nothing about it.
The report is striking because it's bipartisan and clear, once again, the Bureau violated its own guidelines by ignoring information that, obviously, should have been passed along to the public.
In analyzing the report, it is clear (but not stated) that the FBI had assets inside the far right Proud Boys group, some of whom have already been convicted for crimes on January 6.
But, apparently, the FBI ignored the information gleaned from its own spies.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is still investigating whether former President Trump committed crimes by "instigating" the Capitol riot. Now that allegation becomes very hard to prove if extremists crafted a conspiracy weeks before January 6.
It is no surprise that the corrupt corporate media has largely ignored the Senate report, just as it ignored Trump's overture to the Pentagon on January 5th to alert the National Guard.
Nice, honest press we have in this country, right?
So Donald Trump should have one less legal thing to worry about. But you never know what will come out of the swamp.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
