One Flew Over the Coup-Coup's Nest

So, Trump says "It seems like" the FBI staged the false flag Jan. 6 coup.

Well, gee, blaming another power authority to create mistrust of them...what a very fascist thing to say.

Of course, if I was on the verge of being caught for preparing a coup attempt, I'd probably blame everyone else I could.  Though blaming the FBI, the very people investigating me, is admittedly more than a bit nuts.

It's sort of like when the authorities have a manhunt for the mastermind of a bank robbery, and they discover a trove of damning security camera photos and air-tight evidence all pointing at you, are finally closing in on your home, sirens roaring, and the local newspaper calls you for a comment, and you say, "Actually, it seems to me like the police actually did it."

Mind you, beyond being fascist, even by Trump standards, how odd a thing to even suggest. After all --

If the goal was to stage a coup, why go only halfway and stop? But if that wasn't the goal, and it was instead to support Biden to make sure he won -- Biden already won and had the Electoral Votes, and those were being counted...so why interrupt the counting??

And...if the FBI was involved, why would they now be investigating those involved? And arresting them? And giving them their day in court -- so they can point the finger at the FBI and give proof? I mean, usually when you attempt to stage a coup, you try to cover it all up, refuse subpoenas, plead the 5th and cry that it's all partisan.

And…and…if the FBI was who staged the attempted coup, why on earth did “first degree” Proud Boy Matthew Greene just plead guilty yesterday to a conspiracy charge?  Especially since Trump specifically said to the Proud Boys – “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”  It seems like Mr. Greene got impatient for Trump to come to his aid and just didn’t “stand by” long enough.

Yes, yes, yes, I know full well why Trump is saying this. It's just odd even by crazy Trump standards. But not even odd for only the reasons above, but perhaps most of all for this  --

Because for anyone who actually believes Trump, that Jan. 6 was a false flag coup staged by the FBI...surely then they must support a major investigation to find out -- right?!!

Create a Select House Committee to investigate it. Put together a Senate committee to investigate it. Get the DOJ to investigate it. Sue in federal court over and over -- Republicans have shown in their 60 "Stop the Steal" (sic) lawsuits they're all for that. Give out subpoenas. Track down witnesses and get them to testify under oath. Find the documents. And if anyone refuses to come testify, throw them in jail!!!! Right??

And for all those who support a major investigation into this -- as Republicans who follow Trump surely must -- they must therefore certainly want Trump most of all to testify under oath, because he was still president on Jan. 6 when this all took place, and when it was all planned and set up, in charge of the FBI. So, more than most anyone, Trump himself would want what he knows on the official record to undercut all the traitors -- and so would all his supporters want to hear from him, too. Right??

Either that, or...well, if not, then you must think Trump is just nuts and terrified of being investigated himself.

UPDATE:  After posting this, I now read in today's Washington Post the far-right's latest conspiracy theory that the Jan. 6 bomber is an inside job. Even with Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for phone records to be subpoenaed! So, I look forward to them crying out loudly for a Special Counsel to investigate all that!!! And demanding phone records are subpoenaed for everyone being looked into.  You can read the full article here.
