The conviction of Proud Boys leaders for "seditious conspiracy" on Jaunary 6 energized MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace. She was ready to pounce—on Donald Trump. She was hoping to parlay that into a prosecution of Trump. It had everything but the "lock him up" chants.

But then came Leonnig's blow to Nicolle's dreams:
"I know, and I think many of the people on your panel know, that prosecutors do not have evidence in hand linking the effort of Enrique Tarrio, Stewart Rhodes, and other lieutenants of theirs, to Donald Trump. They do not have the smoking-gun evidence that shows that Donald Trump was directing an effort to violently overthrow the government. "
And if that weren't deflating enough for Nicolle, Leonnig then delivered an unsubtle slap at Wallace for substituting her hopes and dreams for reality:
"Let's be careful about what we know and what we don't know."

Sorry, Nicolle! Better luck next time.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Nicolle is sorry…
Something is going on with WaPo. I think Bezos is seeking truce with Trump.
Too many, as Rush would say, ‘random acts of journalism’
Don’t need evidence if you’ve got the judge.

” No Evidence Linking Trump To Proud Boys Violence”
No evidence linķing Proud Boys either but they are in stir.
No Evidence Linking Trump To Proud Boys Violence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course not....isn’t any evidence linking the Proud Boys to violence, either. Doesn’t matter, now that the Proud Boys are convicted, I suspect PDJT’s indictment is about to be served.
evidence?
they dont need no stinkin’ evidence
they will smear him
Actually, since there’s no evidence linking the Proud Boys to violence or sedition, and there is negative evidence for a charge of attempting violent overthrow of the US government, Trump and his fans should be very worried - the government can obviously get convictions on this charge against the facts and against the law.
