January 6th legal proceedings and investigations megathread

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Maybe this is totally out of line, but something I thought of while watching some clips on Twitter this morning...if he would have any interest (and even aligns this way), should Democrats try to recruit Michael Fanone to run for office? I mean, I'm not sure where he's from originally (if it's not DC, but the accent is difficult to pin down) but he would be a great face for the party and he seems to be genuinely motivated by the horror he went through.

He must be from somewhere in the South. But aside from that, I've continued to watch the testimony, and Kinzinger is certainly outraged about what happened on January 6. Active-duty and retired law enforcement and military, I would imagine, would be more deeply affected by what occurred than many of the rest of us. But unfortunately, aside from Kinzinger, all of the other Republican veterans in Congress have allowed partisanship and their loyalty to Trump to override this sentiment, and it's a disgrace.

I'm glad US Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell isn't walking a beat in the Bronx.

This post is bad and you should feel bad

And Sergeant Gonell is an Iraq War veteran, so he certainly had to experience tense and harrowing moments on duty before what happened on January 6.

Are you literally trying to push /pol/ to execute daily 1/6s? Because electing cops who were present at 1/6 is how you push /pol/ to execute daily 1/6s.

It would be the end of America.

I do believe he said he voted for Trump in 2016, so I'm not sure how aligned he is with the Democratic platform, I think he's more motivated by his own trauma than politics.

From hearing him talk, I got the impression that-like Kinzinger-he was a conservative Republican or at the very least right-leaning. Like I said earlier, this is an event that should transcend partisan boundaries.

Stefanik says that Pelosi is to blame for the attack.

This woman truly has disgraced herself over the past several months. She went from being a moderate, "reasonable" Republican to a fire-breathing Trumpist who bathes herself in conspiracy theories.

OK, you've crossed the line for me.  Ignore time.

This is the hyper-masculine toxicity that makes society so difficult. Who are you to judge him because he was afraid of losing his life? Just because he's a police officer doesn't mean he doesn't feel fear. Any normal human being would have been afraid of a mob.

And if those insurrectionists had been dealing with anybody from the Bronx they would have never got through the doors in the first place.

In what way is electing him incitement of terrorist filth? Because they'll get mad we're not pretending they didn't attempt to overthrow our democracy and assassinate its leaders? "Stand up to us and we'll try to lynch and rape members of your government more?"

The terrorists are already going to try again the next time they lose an election. If they attack earlier because they're offended we're not bending and spreading, genuine Americans will be ready to defend out government and put them down.

We need more patriots in office, instead of terrorist sympathizing Republicans.

Because some people are losing so much faith in America right now that they're considering terrorism in response? Instigating them may not be a smart idea.

The N-bomb was used almost as often as the F-bomb. That little surprises me. Both words  usually signify someone with little self-control.

Completely uncalled-for.

So you'd rather appease the terrorists?  That doesn't have a great track record.

Terrorism is never an acceptable response to anything. They didn't lose faith in America, they convinced themselves that their cult leader could not lose and when he did lose they decided to use violence. If they can't accept losing they need to seek professional help, not be appeased by the government.

They didn't lose faith in America

/pol/ users daily admit to loving the idea of America but only hating it/supporting violence because they feel that their chances at individual happiness and success have been stripped away. One of the people who died of a heart attack on 1/6 was a lifetime union member and Obama 08/12 voter whose job was shipped to China.

The insurrectionists treating real Americans like subhumans will not be solved by real Americans treating the insurrectionists like subhumans. (though I still believe that those found guilty of physically assaulting officers do deserve the death penalty/life imprisonment as to set an example)

Running 1/6 officers as Democratic candidates will be the equivalent of holding a dog bone in front of a rabid pitbull's face. They are going to do what you've forced them to do.

[Calthrina950]

I can't even. Jordan would have been attacking those officers and trying to impeach the legitimacy of their testimony. That's precisely why Pelosi excluded him from the committee.
