January 6th legal proceedings and investigations megathread

I don’t see how that undermines Heaphy’s work for the J6 committee. The AG can’t stop him from continuing to work for them.

Well yes, but he’s just been fired from his civil service job for cooperating with a federal investigation.

Ronna McDaniel is gaslighting pretty hard.

It’s wrong to say we believe the Jan 6th attacks are legitimate political discourse
Literally the next post, the Jan 6th attacks were legitimate political discourse

What the F was her lawyer even arguing about?
Did I hear him correctly? ... That, because he (MTG's lawyer) also represented (or currently represents) donald Traitorous trump, that their side gets to claim "Executive Privilege" for MTG not to answer a question?
What kind of Bizarro world law, is that crap? Some people have no shame.

Only two ways this makes sense

MTG is claiming to be working at the direction of the President or MTG is claiming to be the President

Aure would be nice if anyone prosecuted these people

Can you believe there are people out there that think that all the transpired on Jan 6th was 200 morons breaking a book shelf and rubbing poop on the walls?
These people need mental assistance.

I don't think Mr. R really believes that's all it was; for one thing, he never acknowledges the documented assaults on police officers, which is something that in other settings I think he'd care very much about.  He repeatedly chooses to focus on lesser aspects of the riot in order to downplay the worst aspects.  And frankly, that's worse.

I guess after more than 2000 cops were injured during the 2020 Antifa riots and it was all dismissed as just an idea and mostly peaceful the additional 100 cops injured on 1/6 sort of get lost in the noise. Especially when we are told this riot is so much more special than the 2020 riots despite having 1/20th of the police injuries.

But again Ive said countless times capitol rioters should go to jail. Yall just dont like that i wont fall for your conspiracies again. My understanding is the idiots started rioting before Drumpf even gave the "incitement" speech.

"Your honor, the fire started before my client even arrived at the orphanage. He merely threw gasoline onto the already burning building!"

I recall a video where he told them to peacefully go home and that they were all special (since he knew the likely IQ of who he was dealing with)

Hours after his call arms and when the puscht had clearly failed?
Yeah that’s totally sincere and not ass covering

I’m pretty sure they’ve had more than enough evidence for over a year.

There's definitely not going to be anything before the midterms. Longstanding DOJ policy is to not announce anything politically toxic in the runup to an election.

Except when it hurts Democrats.

We now have multiple testimonies that indicate quite clearly that the President engaged in a seditious conspiracy to interrupt the regular functions of government and entrench himself in power by his proclaim action.


And you guys are sitting here arguing about the specific side details of a glorified secretary’s testimony?

Jesus this country is screwed.

There should be a betting pool on who that was. Whomever that was, was dumber than a box of rocks.

That could be literally anyone in the Trump administration.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

So what's the conservative story now?  What's the excuse?  I don't even know what the alternative narrative is supposed to be at this point.

"This was just a peaceful, legitimate protest" has to be done now, right?

"Trump didn't know this was going to happen" and "Trump didn't want this to happen" both done.

"Trump didn't know what was going on" or "Trump condemned the riots so he doesn't bear responsibility" also pretty clearly over now.

‘F**k you that’s why’ is evergreen

Indict him already:

Jan. 6 Panel Members Call On DOJ To Open Criminal Investigation Into Trump

If the DoJ hasn’t been running an investigation on Trump since the new admin took over Garland should be fired.

The irony in a Twitter handle referencing the Trump investigation that refused to investigate Trump telling us to calm down is something.
