But are they actually gonna do anything about it? Doug mastriano got off scott free, so did pieces of shit like Margery Taylor Green. We're giving dumb schmo's that bought into trump's hype years in prison but the people who actually organized or we're not doing shit about. This is why no one believes that anything is illegal for rich people and why no one trusts politicians.

That's it, huh? An ethics panel? For attempting to overthrow the government?

For refusing to appear before the January 6th commission ... One step at a time.

It's been two years. Getting tired of taking baby steps when they're taking giant leaps.

Think of it like giant leaps on icebergs starting in the Arctic Ocean headed towards the equator, and baby steps on the Arctic ice pack head towards the North Pole.

I'll feel better once we start taking an attempted coup seriously and start jailing people.

It is possible that he faces an ethics panel for refusing to respond to a congressional subpoena

AND

a separate fbi investigation as they seized his phone as I recall. That is a complex investigation and they will have a million lawyers involved deciding what is legal for the fbi to go after and what is politically possible.

AND What is he gonna do in congress after ignoring a congressional subpoena, who will listen to a guy who ignored a subpoena from the body he represents. Dead man walking in congress wo power to compel anyone to do anything 🤷‍♂️

Remember guys it took over 2 years from the time of the arrest at the Watergate hotel for articles of impeachment to pass congress. This is 100 times bigger than that ever dreamed of being.

If they rush through this and lose everything on some stupid technicality because someone forgot to cross a t or dot an i everyone complaining it's taking too long will be losing their mind that the key players are walking.

Let them keep trying and convicting civilian insurrectionists, every guilty is another hook in the mouth of the big fish.

Because I don't think for a second these half wits are holding their silence on who, what, where and when. They're too confident and too proud of what they did. Every person who was on Dougie's bus that gets a guilty verdict is an ironclad count of aiding in the attempt of an insurrection for him.

Once the little fish are all gathered the mid level boys will start to get scooped up. Guys who have money and power put no political ties. Then those guys lead into the politicians because they'll jump on a reduction in their sentence to give solid evidence against the politicians.

It's gonna be a domino effect and there are way too many bones in this yard for this to be a quick setup. Give it time to play out.

The difference is republicans did not rally around Nixon during the watergate hearings. Trump is getting a full throat defense and the goal is to win the election and say it doesn't matter anymore.

Republicans would be smart to throw trump under the bus and be rid of his political baggage bc it doesn't serve the party anymore, just trump. Note he is selling NFT for his personal bank account and not raising funds for the party or anyone else. He also endorsed lots of people and they lost so he's not super relevant but helps motivate democratic opponents with his self centered agenda. They should do the same to Scott perry. What has he done the party?

Seriously read through that whole word salad bullshit fact check. They state trump didn’t order the guard. They also state he recommended that Miller the secretary of defense order 10000 guards to patrol on 1/6 but he refused. So stop with the verbal gymnastics, Trump told them to have national guard there and they didn’t

Trump did say during a 30-second call on Jan. 5 with then Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller that “they” were going to need 10,000 troops on Jan. 6, according to a statement Miller provided to a House committee in May 2021.

But Miller added that there was “no elaboration,” and he took the comment to mean “a large force would be required to maintain order the following day.” He noted that domestic law enforcement believed they had sufficient personnel.

Sorry CNN didn’t tell you that. Wait, Nancy’s handpicked committee didn’t tell you that either. Then it must not be true. No critical thinking, you’re helpless. Goodnight little sheep

Besides a Hunter Biden committee and a withdrawal from Afghanistan committee, what other Republican committees are expected to replace the Jan 6 committee next year?

Considering the GQp will control the House, and Ethics, come January, this is one stupid and empty gesture. Why not refer him to DOJ?
