If Rs win in Nov, there will be very little appetite for prosecution of Trump because the Crts are R anyways Trump judges were installed before Biden judges and they adhere to SCOTUS

Whom can Rs thank partly is Putin because Gas prices went up again due to war they were never gonna normalize as long as the Ukraine War is going on even though they went down temporarily

I am still optimistic but storm clouds are brewing over Ds, there are a lot more blue avatars again on the forum

D4P just polled the states its a red wave, but it's votes that count

I am so tired not of the Committee but the hesitation of DOJ of Prosecuting Trump, and if GOP win Trump as I said earlier is gonna get emboldened and the R Crts are gonna lack an appetite for Prosecuting Trump, but Rs aren't winning anyways 24 we have the 303 map

The Crts are R anyways thanks to Hillary losing in 2016

What happened to the accused deserves a speedy trial

Clarence Thomas was ‘key’ to a plan to delay certification of 2020 election, Trump lawyers said in emails

Quote
A lawyer for former President Donald Trump described Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “key” to Trump’s plan to delay Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory through litigation after the 2020 election, according to emails recently turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6.

“We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue” a temporary order putting Georgia’s results in doubt, Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a December 31, 2020, email, adding that a favorable order from Thomas was their “only chance” to hold up Congress from counting electoral votes for Biden from Georgia.

John Eastman, another attorney for Trump, responded to that email saying he agreed with the plan. In the email exchanges with several other lawyers working on Trump’s legal team, they were discussing filing a lawsuit that they hoped would result in an order that “TENTATIVELY” held that Biden electoral votes from Georgia were not valid because of election fraud.

Having a case pending in front of the Supreme Court, Chesebro wrote, would be enough to prevent the Senate from counting Biden’s electors.

I would not doubt if there were some secret discussions between trump's lawyers and Ginni Thomas (a trump cultist and conspiracy wacko), to relay their desire/plans in delaying certification, to Clearance Thomas.

Standing before the jury Thursday, defense lawyer Bradley Geyer hoped his client would forgive him for the story he was about to share in the trial of five Oath Keepers charged with plotting to prevent the peaceful transfer of power on January 6, 2021.

When he met Kenneth Harrelson more than a year ago, Geyer said, the Oath Keepers member hardly knew of the institutions or processes involved in the certification of the 2020 election.

"He didn't know there was a House of Representatives and a Senate. He didn't know anything about the Electoral College," Geyer said, adding that Harrelson thought at the time it was a place where "politicians went to get educated or whatever."

Geyer professed Harrelson's ignorance in an opening statement defending him against charges he participated in a seditious conspiracy to interfere with the certification of the 2020 election and keep former President Donald Trump in power. In a half-hour address to the jury, Geyer argued that Harrelson was so disinterested in politics that he could not have had the intent to stop the transfer of power from Trump to now-President Joe Biden.

If it comes out that his wife was involved in these efforts, without any hesitation this must happen if America wants to dissuade future attempts at subverting our elections.

It looks like this didn't help Ds in the Midterms and they are spending money on it, it looks like it's going away after the Midterms

Gingrich will likely appeal, but most such appeals in this investigation have failed.

Trump sues January 6 committee seeking to block subpoena for his testimony and documents

Quote
Former President Donald Trump has sued the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, as a way to challenge its subpoena for documents and his testimony, according to filings in a federal court in Florida.

A spokesperson for the January 6 committee declined to comment.

Trump’s attorney, David Warrington, said in a statement that “long-held precedent and practice maintain that separation of powers prohibits Congress from compelling a President to testify before it.”

I am not happy about this either:

Jan. 6 committee staffers told preliminary plan for final report would focus largely on Trump, not on law enforcement failures, sources say
The House resolution that created the committee said its mission included examining “the preparedness and response” of Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies.

Can't wait for the Jan 6 committee to be disbanded. Maybe we get a Hunter Biden one as a replacement?

Yeah, because Hunter Biden has attempted a coup and his responsible for multiple deaths, including police officers.

You might be excited to learn that we basically had two already! Both the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee conducted investigations into Hunter Biden's dealings and found no evidence of wrongdoing. Now we can put this all behind us, right?
