The Jan. 6 Investigation

ABC News announced that Jeffrey Clark, Trump's pick to take over the DOJ because he was willing to do Trump's bidding, had his home raided and searched this morning. They said Clark was standing in the street watching in his pajamas.

Is that the sound of toilets flushing in Mar A Lago I hear?
 
So Louis Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Andrew Biggs and Scott Perry all asked for presidential pardons... all testified to, under oath.

Has anyone heard if Scott Perry still denies asking for a presidential pardon?
 
Brit Hume on Fox said "Far from proving Trump nearly blew up our democracy, the testimony has shown his effort collapsed because Republican officials who voted for him refused to go along."

Is that the defence? Trump tried to overthrow democracy but a couple of guys stopped him so it's OK?

Its the standard GOP "no harm = no foul" defence. The Zelenskyy extortion scandal showed that... "So what if Dear Leader tried to extort Zelenskyy by withholding weapons to get dirt on Joe Biden. It didn't work... he didn't get what he wanted, and Ukraine got the weapons, so he didn't do anything wrong."
 
It's Monopoly Rules: if you get caught stealing from the Bank, your punishment is to have to return the money, nothing more.

It's called Privilege, aka Private Law for Republicans, common law for everyone else.
 
Brit Hume's also on record in January saying trump's claims of widespread fraud are utter balderdash and likely led to the event on January 6.

“All of that stuff he said for weeks on end after the election — that he’d won it in a landslide, and that it was all stolen from him, and that Mike Pence had the authority, which he most certainly did not, of reversing the results at the last minute last week,” Hume told host Tucker Carlson. “That was utter balderdash and he fed it into the veins of his supporters, and one could make a pretty good case that that’s part of what got them into a fever that led to last week’s events.”

So it seems he's more defending the Republicans than trump on this one.
 
Looks like Mo Brooks is willing to talk to the Jan 6 select committee. Of course if, like me, you have been following the US Senate primaries, it won't be very hard to guess why he's had this change of heart.... Trump first endorsed him in his bid to become a Senator for Alabama, then "un-endorsed" him and endorsed his opponent, Katie Britt instead.

Maybe Marjorie Taylor-Green wasn't far off with her "gazpacho" comments. After all, isn't revenge supposed to be a dish that is best served cold!?
 
This thread is about the Investigation into the Jan 6 insurrection. It is not about gas prices, Biden, or even Trump generally.

The Jan. 6th committee is going to have a meeting that was scheduled last minute due to new information. I'm not sure what it could be, but it must be important, or at least interesting. Link, quote:

The Jan. 6 committee will hold a last-minute public hearing Tuesday to present new evidence and hear witness testimony, after having previously said it would take a break until mid-July.

The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET, according to an advisory the committee sent out Monday. In an unusual move, the committee has not identified the witness, as it did for previous hearings.

Thanks. I heard a snippet of this in my background radio noise and now I don't have to look up when the hearing will be.

My guess(es) would be

a. Trump's former White House Counsel, Pat Cipillone.

b. Mark Meadows’ former top aide, Cassidy Hutchinson (the women who testified on video in the last hearing to several Congressman applying to The Fat Orange Turd for pardons.)

Perhaps both.

That's my guess, too. it must be something important or they wouldn't have added a new session early like this. I know I'll be watching.
Can't wait to see how our resident troll handwaves this away.
