    The left is thoroughly projecting here. Likely and predictably an emotional reaction to their propaganda around the Jan 6 protest that irrationally deem an insurrection attempt.

    America is moving in to dealing with the recession Dems have caused.

    Here's some breaking news on the pre 1/6 GOP Capitol tour service... it's not a smocking gun until they tie an individual to events on 1/6, but it's a start and caught the GOP in yet another falsehood over that day......

    SNIP
    A House Republican lawmaker acknowledged on Thursday bringing a “constituent family” into the Capitol complex a day before rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after the select committee investigating the attack called on him to address evidence that he’d brought a group inside a Capitol office building.

    Hours earlier on Thursday, the Jan. 6 select committee’s chair, Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), and vice chair, Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), requested an interview with Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) next week, contending that its review of evidence preceding the riot contradicted claims by him and other GOP lawmakers that no such tours had taken place.

    Loudermilk did not explain why he didn’t disclose the tour over the past 16 months, nor did he indicate whether he would appear, but he emphasized, in a joint statement with Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), that no member of the group he led “has been investigated or charged in connection to January 6th.”
    ENDSNIP

    I wonder why that would need to be a "joint statement" with a rep from a different state..... Hmmm....

    Loudermilk, now a well known traitor to his oath to the US Constution. It's the MAGA way, thanks Donald.

    Hey, looked up showed up for 9 of the longest hours in the history of Congress..... without his videorecorder...

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/giuliani-meets-jan-6-committee-010548840.html

    Rudy was reportedly "in charge" of the fake elector scheme....

    Can you imagine having to sit there listening to this buffoon for 9 hours (with breaks) with a straight face?? Most times, I feel Congress is a bunch of overpaid schlubs, but occasionally they have this hazard duty, and I have sympathy....

    More news that’s not new at all lol, further trying to justify the nonsensical claim that jan 6 was an insurrection lol. Americans aren’t falling for it, they recognize it was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest of no consequence.

    It isn’t surprising though, in the face of the nation collapsing under dem control they need something.

    I just hope that the voters can remember the things Trump was responsible for and We learn our lesson when we voted Trump out and Biden in. We could have another January 6 happen or worse if Trump were to try to get in. This country cannot survive If this country were run by a slew of Trumpies.

    Looks like Rudy is continuing to spread the love where ever he goes

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/rudy-giuliani-flips-heckler-profanity-062205862.html

    Wish him well in his next election.... cell block president...

    (Love the description - Henchman to Donald T**** - for some reason, 'henchman' has such a negative connotation)...

    Here's an interesting story that probably should be getting more bandwidth (over, say, the 9th thread on a candidate running a campaign against an opponent with unexplained connections to Russia)

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/tensions-rise-between-doj-jan-131323168.html

    This is another story where I can see both sides.....

    I want DOJ to get everything they need to prosecute those responsible for 1/6 itself and for any other potential crimes against the Constitution for the overturning attempts.

    OTOH, the Committee has done a lot of work, pushing uphill against a lot of resistance, with little to no assistance from the DOJ (Meadows referral anybody??)

    I would imagine if the DOJ tailored their requests to certain witness testimony or documents, they'd find a much more receptive audience.

    I also imagine the DOJ will eventually get everything they want/need.

    Anybody have any thoughts on this mini standoff?

    There will be tensions flaring and things won't be going as easy as they want to. How will the DOJ get Trump to show up at these events anyway? Trump cause a lot of mischief and plenty of grief during that time and Trump and those associated with him should pay the price for what happened on that day. It isn't eight on what Trump did and there was a potential lynching on Pence. Would that be considered the right thing to do? I don't think so. Trump doesn't deserve to be President of the United States ever again and I mean it.

    If's he's actually indicted by the DOJ for seditious conspiracy (or whatever), he'll show up to arraignment and trial, or plead guilty if offered that option.

    If he doesn't, he's a fugitive from justice and can be arrested on the spot

    We aren't there yet...

    Remember, there are a LOT of people who were working with and for T**** in these actions. As always, if you can get them, you can get the big fish

    A current story is that Eastman has T**** written "notes" on their overthrow plan that he is trying to withhold.... Those could be very interesting!

    You're right we're not there but there is that possibility that if and when we do get there, Trump will be on the spot for sure and it will be interesting on what he does and/or how he will handle it. It will be something to see.

    Lmao imagine thinking there is evidence of seditious conspiracy for Trump lol. That is some serious desperation. No one actually believes that, the reality is there is no evidence of it. It was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest of no consequence. People made their own decisions.

    It is rather astonishing to see how some will minimize, normalize really bad group violent behavior.........and use friendly euphemisms to describe it.While denying the reality of what happened.by giving it a more tolerant name or adjective.

    IOW......... that suggests a full support of medieval violent behavior against the gov't..........if the voting results do't suit them.

    Where is the civility in that?? Sore losers on display for the world t o see. and Now over a year later.........they still quibble over semantics and obstruct the progress of the investigation..........

    FYI, Here is the schedule and format of hearings

    SNIP
    According to the draft schedule, the June public hearings will explore Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, starting and ending with prime-time hearings at 8pm on the 9th and the 23rd. In between, the panel will hold 10am hearings on the 13th, 15th, 16th and 21st.

    The select committee appears to be planning for the hearings to be extensive affairs. The prime-time hearings are currently scheduled to last between 1.5 and 2 hours and the morning hearings between 2 and 2.5 hours.

    A select committee member will lead each of the hearings, the sources said, but top investigative lawyers who are intimately familiar with the material will primarily conduct the questioning of witnesses to keep testimony tightly on track.
    ENDSNIP

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-attack-panel-hold-six-060011313.html

    LOL... it's Congress... no way they'll keep to those time tables.

    However, it will probably be watchable, since no MAGA Morons will be on the panel and real lawyers will be asking the questions...

    Here's some fun color coding the help keep the inquiries straight... I guess this isn't really new, but I hadn't seen this breakdown...

    "purple” team = militia groups
    "gold” team = Trump’s efforts to overturn the election
    "red” team = Stop the Steal
    “green” team = Financing for January 6
    "blue” team = government response.

    Hope they have matching shirts.... and side bets with each other to see who can do the most damage...

    I wonder which team presentation T**** is looking most forward too? Put me down for team Gold....

    I’m simply pointing out the reality, it was a nothing burger fiery but mostly peaceful protest. Meanwhile the left has done nothing but do exactly what you cla I am doing, but for blm. The only difference is…the left actually is doing that.

    And I wonder why there isn't more coverage of Loudermilk. He blatantly lied in his original statement, and even went so far as to request an investigation into the Representatives that wanted to see the 'tours' investigated.

    The hangup now is that while he claims he did give a tour to a family, including kids (completely against Congressional rules at the time), they never entered the Capitol itself, which was what Sherill and others claimed they saw.

    Still TBD... but I did have to laugh at this part of the denial statement

    SNIP
    the family did not enter the Capitol grounds on the 6th
    ENDSNIP

    Although there were a lot of other parent/child combos doing activities together, while subverting our government..... so cute!

    And of course the right will make a meal out of the media's mention of the red ball caps worn by the 'tourists'. Loudermilk brought it up himself, saying that there were no tours, and certainly no one wearing red maga hats. Its just too funny!

    This just popped up in my alerts. Sure, I can certainly understand why Trump is completely innocent. Makes perfect sense that he didn't call for back-up for the Capitol police either. When can we nominate him for sainthood? /smdh

    More on this:

    Trump indicated support for hanging Pence during Jan. 6 insurrection, House panel was told

    The House select committee investigating the 2021 attack on the Capitol has collected testimony that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows remarked to others that then-President Donald Trump indicated his support for hanging Vice President Mike Pence after rioters started chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!” The account of Meadows’s comment was provided to the committee by at least one witness, according to people familiar with the investigation.

    He has no problem supporting/ endorsing VIOLENCE and other barbaric behavior.

    He is a throw back from another era in some distant and very violent past.


    Maybe this is why he has s much control over the Rep party. He personifies and reflects their " standards" and philosophy.

    Also out today.... did we know a federal grand jury was issuing subpoenas around election overturning events?? I'm not sure I did...

    SNIP
    A federal grand jury has issued subpoenas seeking information on the role that Rudy Giuliani and other then-lawyers for former President Donald Trump may have played in a scheme to steal the 2020 election.

    On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that a federal criminal investigation into the effort had zeroed on Trump's team of lawyers, including Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and John Eastman.
    ENDSNIP

    https://sports.yahoo.com/federal-grand-jury-seeks-information-212952411.html

    Not sure why this is in Yahoo Sports, but it's probably because Rudy sort of resembles Ty Cobb .... as he would appear today, 100 years after he died.......

    This has already been debunked, it was on pelosi lol. The few that go out of hand were her shortcoming. This fiery but mostly peaceful protest of no consequence was just that.
