just for you:
The members of the current committee are irrelevant, because that all came after what I was talking about.Republican didn't "refuse" anything. Nancy Pelosi appointed them.
Here are the 9 lawmakers investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack
Seven Democrats and two Republicans — all selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — make up the committee tasked with investigating the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.www.npr.org
"The panel comprises seven Democrats and two Republicans all appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She previously rejected several GOP members originally selected for the panel by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy — Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio — citing "statements and actions" made by the pair that she felt would "impact the integrity of the committee." Both Banks and Jordan had publicly expressed concerns over the panel itself."
Translation: Your third failed attempt at trying to implicate Trump is blowing up in your face again, and you're grasping at everything in desperation.Republicans voted against having an independent investigation. You've fallen for their trap. They wanted you to have exactly this reaction. Congrats.
and what prosecution would that be? LOLBecause they wanted to avoid possible prosecution by the blood-thirsty Democrats.
Come on, man! House Republicans had their chance to be part of this and refused. House Democrats gave them EVERYTHING they wanted and Minority Leader McCarthy balked.
you republicans had your chance to be part of this committee. In fact, you had some there in the committee.Well, I'm used to watching non-political trials where each side makes their own argument. This is like the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case but with only the Johnny Depp side speaking. I guess that's how the political process goes, though.
No, that was a legitimate response to the idiotic claim that this whole commission is a partisan witch hunt. A favorite talking point that the spineless party-over-country Republicans ensured their low-info voters would have.Translation: Your third failed attempt at trying to implicate Trump is blowing up in your face again, and you're grasping at everything in desperation.
You've lost. Again.
Fact - the 2020 election was fiction perpetrated by Democrats.
Fact - Pelosi and Schumer both rejected Trumps approval of National Guard troops.
Fact - Schumer rejected them again on Jan4.
Fact - the capitol police are controlled by Pelosi.
Fact - it took minutes for the Democrats to invoke slavery
Fact - the political prisoners are being held in solitary confinement for 18 months without charges or discovery.
- “This committee is really a kangaroo court. It’s set to hold primetime hearings tonight for the sole purpose of trying to build some kind of criminal case against Donald Trump to prevent him from running for president in 2024, an election he would certainly win based on the Biden regime’s performance.” Peter Navarro: January 6 Committee Is Going After Me to Block Donald Trump in 2024
- Julie Kelly: “Facts don’t matter in Collaboration Theater.” Justice Department Colludes with Congress to Bolster the “Insurrection” Narrative
- “Kelley was arrested Thursday morning on ‘unspecified’ charges, according to The Detroit News, after federal law enforcement raided his home near Grand Rapids. The conspicuous timing of the arrest, just hours before the Select Committee on Jan. 6 launches its prime-time summer show trials, raises questions about to what extent the FBI is colluding with Congress as lawmakers conduct a political witch hunt in the lower chamber.” Biden Promised to Throw His Opponents in Jail. The FBI Arrested a GOP Gubernatorial Candidate the Next Morning

What do the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and the other organizations you list with no evidence have in common? What is their shared goal in the Jan 6 insurrection?Again, small minds aren’t capable of understanding the scope and scale involved in such a coup. The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers barely scratch the surface. This conspiracy involved elements of the DOJ, Capitol Police, Secret Service, and United States Military. A subject that is off limits to this committee.

Pelosi and Mitch McConnell had joint responsibility--to some extent--for security in the capitol. Why all the focus on Pelosi and none on McConnell? (We already know, don't we).They? The witch hunters? Those who will not introduce Nancy Pelosi's correspondence refusing the National Guard?
"Have they set a date yet for prime time hearings on the riots that left 19 dead,2,000 officers injured,97 police cars burned,over 600 acts of arson,2300 acts of looting & over $2 billion in property damage?"
LOL … the trump thugs/terrorists literally tried to DESTROY our democracy on the hallowed grounds of an iconic democratic institution.
And the violent/criminal right-wing dopes were energized by LIES and baseless conspiracy theories about a stolen election from some filthy, corrupt con man and his pathetic sycophants in DC and right-wing media.
little marco is trying to compare a game at the local little league to Game 7 of the World Series.
And FAILING miserably...

No one is is paying attention to this manufactured drivel.
However, they are paying attention to the highest inflation rate in 40 years.
Minorities are flocking to the GOP in droves. Hispanics especially, and Democrats are in full panic.
These silly diversionary tactics don't work when real-life Democrat policies are destroying American lives daily in their pocketbooks.
Democrats got their revolution. It's just backwards from what they intended.
Capitol police needs to review its use of force policies. Attempted breach of the US capitol needs to be met with machine guns, not batons.
???It’s over!
I’ve heard rumors Trump is already negotiating a deal.
Do you want to shoot into a crowd of angry rednecks?

I expect notWhile Jan 6 - and many other abuses - SHOULD bar Trump from being able to run again, I do not think this hearing will do anything to impact it's likelihood. :-/
It does look like a "dog and pony show". How can anyone expect a fair representation of the facts when every single member of the committee has a shared hatred of Trump?
President Trump's seven-part plan to overturn the 2020 election and prevent the transition of presidential power.
- President Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to the American public claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.
- President Trump corruptly planned to replace the Acting Attorney General, so that the Department of Justice would support his fake election claims.
- President Trump corruptly pressured Vice President Pence to refuse to count certified electoral votes in violation of the US Constitution and the law.
- President Trump corruptly pressured state election officials, and state legislators, to change election results.
- President Trump's legal team and other Trump associates instructed Republicans in multiple states to create false electoral slates and transmit those slates to Congress and the National Archives.
- President Trump summoned and assembled a violent mob in Washington and directed them to march on the US Capitol.
- As the violence was underway, President Trump ignored multiple pleas for assistance and failed to take immediate action to stop the violence and instruct his supporters to leave the Capitol.
What was Trump doing on Jan 6 for those 3 hours and some minutes? We need to see phone logs, visitor logs, staff depositions, and telephone transcripts.trump didn't ask Pelosi for the National Guard.
The committee proved last night that trump never asked her to call the National Guard.
They presented proof of it.
Yet the trump people present no proof trump asked Pelosi for the National Guard.
On top of that, trump doesn't need to ask her to do that. trump is authorized to do it. Why didn't he?
Why was it pence who made the calls and not trump?
trump never, not once asked anyone, much less Pelosi, for the National Guard.
