12 Feb 2021 | Former President Donald Trump's legal team on Friday accused
legislators of hypocrisy as they played lengthy video montages of elected
officials speaking about committing assault against Trump, threatening his
supporters, and backing protests last year that regularly turned violent.
Going on the offense in their first day of presentations during Trump's
second impeachment trial, the attorneys used a strategy pushed by many
conservatives. Michael van der Veen argued that Trump did not use any
inciting language on Jan. 6 before the breach of the Capitol, but that
numerous members of Congress have.
*CNN Repeatedly Claimed Capitol Officer Sicknick Died Due to a Fire
Extinguisher Hit. They've Quietly Admitted That May Not Be True
<https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/cnn-admits-sicknick-story-not-true/>* |
06 Feb 2021 | CNN quietly snuck out a report this week, without posting the
story to their homepage and barely covering the news on air. It suggests
despite the multitude of claims since January 6th, Capitol police officer
Brian Sicknick was NOT killed by a blunt force trauma. Posted on Tuesday
<https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/02/politics/brian-sicknick-charges/index.html>,
CNN's new story was not shared by any of their leading personalities,
reporters, or anchors. The eighth paragraph of the story claims: According
to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that
the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that
early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not
true.

request for the tally in August because "right around the same time,
[then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,"
according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.
