There are members of this forum who still maintain it was, "A Riot Gone Wrong".

We now have clear evidence that the Traitor planned to seize voting machines.

We have clear evidence that at seven states forged Election Certification Documents that had they been used, would given the WH to the Traitor. We know that Ghouli was in charge of this operation.

We know that the Traitor was in direct communication with the "War Room" at the Willard Hotel.

We have video of the Gallows Erected at the U.S. Capitol Building, they wanted to hang Pence and Pelosi.

Fuck those members. They put their party ahead of their country.

Right now, with all the evidence that is flying around, anyone who still believes that drumpf did not direct his operatives to implement a bona fide coup d'etat in the United States is in denial of the facts.

There's no way Ghouli wouldn't have run it past his boss for approval, unless of course his boss ordered it first.

Ivanka was on the phone to someone. A lot. They subpoenaed her call records, though I don't know if the Congress was stonewalled on those too.

Now they're trying to institutionalize voter suppression before it's too late.

Not only are they conscious of guilt, but they're still doing the crime, legally or otherwise.

Texas AG rejects demands to hand over documents related to Jan. 6

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) this week refused to turn over records of his participation at a pro-Trump rally that occurred just before supporters of the former president stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.

The Travis County district attorney’s office allotted Paxton four days to turn over the records or face a lawsuit, according to The Associated Press. But in a Friday letter, Paxton's office reportedly denied the district attorney’s demands and refused to acknowledge any violations, the news outlet noted.

January 6 rioters are running for Republican office as GOP pivots toward lawlessness

"If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed — if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth." Anyone who read these lines in 1949, when George Orwell published his dystopian novel “1984,” would have had ready reference points for the totalitarian world it describes: Soviet Russia, where Stalin still ruled, or perhaps the recently vanquished fascist regimes in Italy and Germany.

Hmmmmm. Evidently, John Eastman, the seditionist who compiled the coup memo, clerked for Clarence Thomas. Thomas’ wife, Ginnie, is a hyper political QAnon/MAGA operative who helped plan and fund the insurrection. Thomas is the only SC justice to side with Trump on the NA records sought by the J6 committee. Thomas needs to be removed from the SC.

Such a removal requires the same impeachment process as for a president, meaning that the bar is set incredibly high. The offender would need to mess up on a historic scale, and even then it's hyper-partisan and adversarial, making consensus border on impossible absent some incredible violation.

They couldn't even get 2/3 for a president inviting followers to march on over to the Capitol and forcibly terminate a Congressional process mandated by the Constitution. That's a direct violation of the presidential oath of office.

What sad commentary on conservative supporters of Clarence Thomas, that one of only like 12 "minorities" they like is married to a WS.

Ruh-Roh, former A.G. Barr has been Speaking With The January 6th Select Committee.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congre ... n-n1287900.

WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot has spoken to former Attorney General William Barr, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson said Sunday.

In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan asked Thompson, D-Miss., whether the panel intends to speak with Barr about a draft executive order prepared for former President Donald Trump that appears to be among the files the committee has been seeking to obtain from the National Archives.

"We've had conversations with the former attorney general already. We have talked to Department of Defense individuals," Thompson said. "We are concerned that our military was part of this big lie on promoting that the election was false. So if you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it's a discussion, the public needs to know. We've never had that before."

Barr, an ardent defender of Trump during his presidency, resigned in December 2020 amid lingering tension over Trump's false claims of election fraud.

A draft of an executive order prepared for Trump, obtained Friday by Politico, would have authorized the defense secretary to send National Guard troops to seize voting machines around the country in the weeks after the 2020 election.

Start the Steal: New MAGA Emails Reveal Plot to Hand Arizona to Trump.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... n-1287447/.

The technology was complicated, but the plan was simple: Scan mail-in and absentee ballots in populous Maricopa County, remove the “invalid votes,” and recertify the state’s 2020 election count, surely declaring then-President Donald Trump the rightful winner.

This scheme to subvert the election outcome in Arizona is laid out in newly released emails obtained by Rolling Stone. Sent in early December 2020, the emails cover a critical moment when the post-election push by Trump and Republican allies to find fraud and overturn the presidential election was in full swing.

The emails show how a group of fringe election sleuths pressed state legislators on a plan to disrupt the 2020 election certification and potentially change the vote count in a battleground state that helped deliver Joe Biden the presidency. The emails also reveal that several Trump advisers, including campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis and legal adviser Bernie Kerik, were included in the discussion.

For those that missed it. Newt Gingrich went on Fox yesterday and claimed that if Republicans win the midterms, they will imprison members of the J6 committee. They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for sometime now, but the warning is still alarming. The J6 committee is a legitimate body recognized the the courts. Not sure what they think they can do since congress doesn’t control the DOJ, but these are the same people who attempted a coup and continue to do so, with non stop threats and talk of revenge, as fascists do. So here’s what they’ve told us. They want to impeach Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (neither can be removed without 2/3 of the senate). They want to throw Biden in prison. They want to remove Dems from Committee assignments and expel them. They’ve said theses things, over and over. And they want to throw J6 members in jail. That’s their platform.

Good link thanks. Notice he says they should investigate the committee which is a little different from lock them.up.

However either statement is divisive and bad for the country.

That’s not what he says. He’s stating a threat, He is saying what the committee is doing is wrong and he thinks they risk going to jail via a Republican controlled congress for investigating J6, and he includes the AG and FBI. He claims they are a lynch mob harassing innocent people.

The committee is a legit body carrying out a legitimate investigation. Innocent people don’t talk the way Newt is talking. Innocent people cooperate and don’t ignore subpoenas or try to hide evidence. They prove they are innocent, that’s how the law works. You will twist yourself any which way to defend the party you cheer for.

And BTW, your own hero, Lindsey Graham, stated he wants to impeach Joe Biden.

viewtopic.php?p=13631#p13631, in which it's noted that Newt Gingrich compares the committee to a lynchmob.

Newt Gingrich says that Jan. 6 Committee is ‘basically a lynch mob’ that could go to jail if Republicans get power - Business Insider Australia

Quotes from Newt Gingrich about Jan. 6:
“You have both with the Attorney General Garland and with this Select Committee of January 6th, people who have run amok,” said Gingrich, who served as speaker from 1995 to 1999 and unsuccessfully ran for president in 2012.

“They are breaking the rules. They are going after people in a way which is reminiscent of the British monarchy using closed-door systems that we outlawed deliberately because we had seen it. We knew what it was like. They are running over peoples’ civil liberties,” he added.
The committee is “literally just running over the law” and “pursuing innocent people,” Gingrich said, claiming the committee is “basically a lynch mob” and that Garland is “misusing the FBI.”
“What they need to understand is on January 4 next year, you’re going to have a Republican majority in the House, and a Republican majority in the Senate,” Gingrich predicted Sunday, adding “all these people who have been so tough and so mean and so nasty are gonna be delivered subpoenas for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every email.”
“I think when you have a Republican Congress, this is all going to come crashing down, and the wolves are going to find out that they’re now sheep,” Gingrich said. “And they’re the ones who are, in fact, going to, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kind of laws they’re breaking.”

Republicans Mock Newt Gingrich Over Threat To "Jail" January 6th. Panel.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/newt-gin ... b85c85fa30.

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich is facing criticism from some in his own party after suggesting over the weekend that members of the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection “face a real risk of jail.”

On Sunday, Gingrich joined Fox News to talk about his op-ed in Newsweek, titled “The Wolves Will Become Sheep,” in which he compared the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot to Cuba’s “Castro brothers torturing, imprisoning and exiling political opponents.” He went further on Fox News, threatening jail for those committee members if Republicans retake control of Congress in this year’s elections.

Still denying that Newtie never said that members of 01-06 Panel should be arrested and sent to Jail Glenn.

Arresting Political Enemies Glenn, not exactly the way a Democracy should work Glenn.

But then again, the Traitor quotes Stalin and sucks up to Putin. This is America the Traitor wants Glenn, is it the America you want as well?

The J6 committee is a legitimate body investigating one of the most serious crimes in American history. It’s a bipartisan group headed by two staunch republicans. Claiming the committee is abusing power by gathering evidence and conducting an investigation and making threats against the committee for doing so, should be extremely alarming to anyone who believes in democracy. Innocent people who have nothing to hide, don’t make threats against the law and the process of the law. That’s what fascists do.

Liz Cheney is one of the most staunch republicans there is. She doesn't agree with what Biden stands for. She constantly says so. She voted for Trump, twice. She voted against his first impeachment, but voted for his second impeachment after the election, because SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. She is privy to intel that the public does NOT know about. She would not be part of the J6 committee if Trump was innocent.

Here's what she said about Newt's comments

--------------------------------
Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney
A former Speaker of the House is threatening jail time for members of Congress who are investigating the violent January 6 attack on our Capitol and our Constitution.

This is what it looks like when the rule of law unravels.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Will Be Allowed To Seat A Special Grand Jury To Investigate The Traitor's Attempt To Overturn 2020 Election In Georgia.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/24/politics ... index.html.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis requested last week to seat a special grand jury starting May 2. Fulton County Superior Court judges approved the request on Monday.

The special grand jury will allow Willis to seat a panel entirely focused on gathering evidence in the Trump investigation. She said she needed such a grand jury in order to issue subpoenas to compel witnesses to testify and to gather additional evidence.

Willis has said she expects to decide on whether to bring charges against Trump in the first half of 2022.

Judge Refuses To Dissmiss Case of Men Accused of Plotting To Kidnap and Kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/ju ... -governor/.

The men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer lost a motion to dismiss their indictment on Tuesday, as a federal judge found they did not meet their “heavy burden” to show entrapment.

Made public amid national turmoil in late 2020, the case of the men accused of conspiring to abduct Whitmer appeared to symbolize militant anti-government sentiment and anger over COVID-19 restrictions boiling over among far-right groups across the country.

The FBI claimed that the men surveilled Whitmer’s vacation home earlier that year, casing possible locations to detonate a bomb to distract authorities.
