Prickly City by Scott Stantis for June 27, 2022

Stantis knows Trump is guilty.

The question is, is Stantis proud of Trump for being guilty?

Who are HunnyBunny and Kevin supposed to represent? I thought Stantis originally meant them to be the Clintons. Neither of them was involved in the insurrection.

Or you can plead the 5th a hundred times.

Shouldn’t Kevin be refusing to testify and suing that the committee isn’t legitimate instead?

The day of the hearing, reports also emerged that federal agents executed a judicially approved search warrant of Clark’s home and seized his electronic devices.

That news sends the country a clear signal: The DOJ is now investigating the same scheme involving Trump and Clark that was dissected at Thursday’s hearing.

We should not, however, allow Thursday’s (5/24/22) focus on Clark to obscure five other important developments that emerged in the hearing. They deserve attention as the astonishing story of Trump’s attempted coup unfolds.

1. Pardons. Liz Cheney hinted in the committee’s first hearing that “multiple other Republican congressmen” requested pardons from the former president in the weeks after Jan. 6.

Now we know there is evidence as to whom: Reps. Matt Gaetz, Scott Perry, Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mo Brooks, and Andy Biggs. ✁

2. Attorneys as villains—and heroes. This was an attempted coup using law books and statutes instead of tanks and guns.

So it’s little wonder that Clark, Trump’s “Mr. Inside” collaborator/lawyer, and John Eastman, Trump’s “Mr. Outside” collaborator/lawyer, along with Rudolph Giuliani, are in legal jeopardy. ✁

3. Voting machines. Donoghue’s testimony revealed a Dec. 31, 2020, conversation with the president in which Trump demanded that the DOJ seize voting machines. ✁

4. Trump’s lack of interest in evidence contradicting his Big Lie. The theme that Trump’s sole concern was power, and not facts or law, is the dominant message emerging from hearing after hearing, Republican witness after Republican witness. ✁

5. Sidney Powell as special counsel? Powell’s recorded testimony indicated that Trump promised her a special counsel appointment to investigate the election. ✁

What does that mean? It means setting Chad Clipart (which includes Mirror Chad) up as the fall guy, and, of course, stiffing him.

Yea, let’s go watch Liz Chaneys audition for the view.

The Los Angeles Times just dropped Prickly City. And replaced it with some dippy comic called Six Chix. They also dropped Doonesbury (Mon-Sat, reruns from 1997, which are dated and which I understand…the current Sunday strip is still in), and Get Fuzzy (also reruns) for all seven days. But…PRICKLY CITY? One of the smartest comics around. For shame!
