Well they can't give Republicans time, like you said they're supposed to, if Republicans don't show up, like they didn't. Maybe you knew that but you acted like you didn't.

Well they can't give Republicans time, like you said they're supposed to, if Republicans don't show up, like they didn't. Maybe you knew that but you acted like you didn't.

There's not much Republicans can defend.  That's why no one wanted to be on the committee.  Therefore, it needs to be made political.  A good strategy would be for Republicans to accuse Democrats of labeling all political opponents as supporters of the "terrorists who tried to overthrow the government." The committee was conducted politically with nothing being solved.  The Justice Department itself could've taken on the entire matter easily.  Instead it was politicized in an effort to get people to vote Democrat.  They turned a political tragedy into something they benefited from.  That's the nature of politics, but what goes around comes around.

Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes sentenced to 18 years in prison for plot to keep Trump in power

Stewart Rhodes, the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Thursday for leading a far-reaching plot to keep then-President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election.

The sentence is the first handed down in over a decade for seditious conspiracy.

“A seditious conspiracy, when you take those two concepts and put it together, is among the most serious crimes an American can commit,” said District Judge Amit Mehta. “It is an offense against the government to use force. It is an offense against the people of our country.”

Mehta on Thursday previously ruled that Rhodes’ actions amounted to domestic terrorism.

“He was the one giving the orders,” Mehta said. “He was the one organizing the teams that day. He was the reason they were in fact in Washington DC. Oath Keepers wouldn’t have been there but for Stewart Rhodes, I don’t think anyone contends otherwise. He was the one who gave the order to go, and they went.”

They say the reason why Garland and Wrary are slow in investigating Biden and Trump on Docugate and J6 is proof especially Wrary of favoritism

We have no results yet from either case and Mueller investigated Russia Collusion in a timely fashion, Biden did commit a misdemeanor with taking 30 classified Documents but Trump committed a felony let's not diminish what Biden corruption is he committed a high crime misdemeanor and Petrius was put on probation and for 2 yrs and paid a fine but Biden is running against Trump and this is a 3/4th crime after Russia Collusion then GA and then J6, he did commit Russia Collusion Tillerson, Flynn and Sessions all resigned due to Russia Collusion and Trump committed Cass A felony


Just like Clinton committed a misdemeanor, during Lewinsky and Bush W promised honor and integrity and Waterboard and Abu Garib of innocent Iraqis

The Constitution says you can impeach and remove a Prez for high crimes misdemeanor or felony but if it's Trump v Biden of course it should be Biden, as Prez. Trump committed Treason with Proud Boys on J6

I am registered with the State bar in Law school to take the Bar exams, you can't even touch a crime or appearance of a crime in order to register for State bar and most politicians are Lawyers including Biden, Harris, Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton

It falls under moral character even if you aren't convicted , your law license can be revoked if you commit a crime and Biden and Trump should know better on Docugate

Jessica Watkins: Oath Keepers member and Army veteran sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for January 6.

Jessica Watkins, an Army veteran and member of the far-right Oath Keepers, was sentenced Friday to 8.5 years in prison for participating in a plot to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election culminating in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Judge Amit Mehta said ...
“Your role that day was more aggressive, more assaultive, more purposeful than perhaps others’. And you led others to fulfill your purposes,” Mehta said. “And there was not in the immediate aftermath any sense of shame or contrition, just the opposite. Your comments were celebratory and lacked a real sense of the gravity of that day and your role in it.”

Another Trump Cultist bites-the-dust.
In prison where they belong.
Glad the courts are consistently throwing these domestic terrorists/insurrectionists, behind bars.

It amazes me how blue avatars can still say that Trump and DeSantis are gonna win and DeSantis just said he is gonna pardon insurrection

Comer wants us to believe that Biden is corrupt he is corrupt but treason and J6 is more important than Hunter BIDEN

Why do DeSantis and Trump want to pardon J6 so much they are convicts and as a lawyer which DeSantis is you aren't supposed to pardon guilty people

If they were blk or brown it would be the death penalty with Rs and J6

As I said KKK and Proud Boys have always been associated with Rs it's not unbelievable Hoover missed the clues and Lee Harvey Oswald and Nixon and Reagan got elected as a result of the Civil Rights leaders Hoover didn't coordinate with them but the clues he had were telling that Kennedy should not been in Dallas but somewhere safe like Los Angeles with Oswald as a criminal at large threatened to kill Kennedy and GBi agent

With the rate these convictions are coming I expect Trump to campaign on restoration of felons' voting rights.

The Proud Boys are the KKk they were Dixiecrats during slavery turned Chang Gang and Republicans after Chain Gangs when Public Defenders came into being the name just changed that's why they are a minority party they can't win New South states they can win only the old S and Rocky mountain States

As I said the reason why they are trying he pardoned because they are white not blk and DeSantis is a lawyer too

Trump White House Aides Subpoenaed in Firing of Election Security Expert
The special counsel is scrutinizing the dismissal of Christopher Krebs, who contradicted baseless claims by the former president that the 2020 election was marred by fraud.

The special counsel investigating former President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to cling to power after he lost the 2020 election has subpoenaed staff members from the Trump White House who may have been involved in firing the government cybersecurity official whose agency judged the election “the most secure in American history,” according to two people briefed on the matter.

The team led by the special counsel, Jack Smith, has been asking witnesses about the events surrounding the firing of Christopher Krebs, who was the Trump administration’s top cybersecurity official during the 2020 election. Mr. Krebs’s assessment that the election was secure was at odds with Mr. Trump’s baseless assertions that it was a “fraud on the American public.”

Mr. Smith’s team is also seeking information about how White House officials, including in the Presidential Personnel Office, approached the Justice Department, which Mr. Trump turned to after his election loss as a way to try to stay in power, people familiar with the questions said.

A prominent Long Island funeral home director and frequent donor to GOP causes was arrested Wednesday and charged by federal prosecutors with spraying wasp insecticide at police officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol.

Peter G. Moloney, who campaign finance records show has given thousands of dollars to GOP campaigns and committees — including Donald Trump, the Republican National Committee and Lee Zeldin, a former congressman and New York gubernatorial candidate — was also charged with assaulting a member of the media. Moloney is slated to make his initial appearance at a federal courthouse on Long Island on Wednesday afternoon.

Trump ally Bannon subpoenaed in special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 grand jury probe
The Washington, D.C.-based grand jury is separate from one investigating the former president's handling of classified documents.

Former Trump White House official Steve Bannon has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., in connection with special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Jan. 6 and former President Donald Trump's efforts to stay in office, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The subpoena, for documents and testimony, was sent out in late May, the sources said. The grand jury investigating Trump's actions surrounding Jan. 6 and in connection with efforts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power is separate from the grand jury in Miami that heard testimony on Wednesday about Trump's handling of classified documents.

A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment. Bannon's attorney Harlan Protass declined to comment.

I'm pretty sure they announced they had "parted ways" or some wording like that. (i.e. not officially fired, but almost definitely not coming back.)

Nevada 'fake electors' appear before D.C. grand jury investigating Jan. 6
Even as Trump is set to appear in court in Miami in the classified documents probe, a grand jury investigation into the aftermath of the 2020 election is continuing in Washington.

With Donald Trump set to appear in Miami for one set of federal charges, back in Washington, another grand jury investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and Trump’s efforts to stay in office is also moving ahead in full force.

Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald, a close Trump political ally, as well as Jim DeGraffenreid, the state party’s vice chair, were spotted by NBC News entering the area where the Jan. 6 jury is meeting at the Washington federal courthouse Tuesday.

When asked about having to appear the same day as Trump’s court date, McDonald joked to an NBC News reporter: “Not on my bucket list.” McDonald had previously confirmed to NBC News that federal authorities seized his cellphone as part of the investigation.

The appearance comes a week after former Trump White House official Steve Bannon was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in Washington in connection with special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Jan. 6. The Bannon subpoena, for documents and testimony, was sent out late last month, the sources said.
