Great. How long did Watergate and 9/11 commissions take?

OH, Jeez... its all about the children now...
Barnett deserves every day of that in jail. F him and his MAGA feelings. Good to see he didn’t draw the soft on crime Federalist. McFadden.
Where? Hannity?
Liz Cheney was recently quoted as stating the Committee had adequate evidence for criminal referrals for Trump and others...
No. It’s where we’re heading. The traitors haven’t been brought to justice. Those standing idly are complacent and guilty as well.
The imposition of martial law is what our old friend Brushy Bill/ William Bonney would talk about in his posts. That was his hope.
No pre-coup planning, though....
I wonder where he is today?
Won't even need to be another Trump admin. Simply another GOP admin, because they keep loading up on the crazies instead of marginalizing them.
None of them want to admit it, but the reality is that a vote for the GOP of today is a vote for fascism. They will seriously dump Ukraine and side with Putin and his money.
Where did all of the silent enabling get us, Mitch?
And, he’d do it al again if given the chance.
Rudy has unlocked his phones. Not purely a 1/6 issue, but I figured this was as good of a thread as any.

MM is on tape indicating he has no "red lines"
If the GOP nominee is Trump or Putin or a serial killer, it's MM's job to support him w/o question.
There are no ethics, morals or principles in the present-day Republican party. It's only about 'power' and 'money'.
Not governance.
Not everyday Americans.
Not democracy.
The sooner people figure that out, the sooner the GOP can get back to being a responsible party and balance against over-regulation, etc.
"Felony Obstruction Of Congress"....you say...???
Yes!!!! We are going to win!! Soon we can lock everyone up, the day is coming!!!
Out of curiosity, have you followed any of the 1/6 commission?
Obviously. I want all the pieces to be put together so we can throw them all in jail. The entire GQP Putin leadership needs to be charged with treason.
Edit: I would also like to see consequences for independents and moderate Dems who haven’t stood up to the traitors
Sumbody's gettin' all pissypants because his idols are getting tossed in jail.
I'm curious who you identify as the independents and moderate Dems that have stood up to the traitors? Seriously curious.
Manchin for one. Even though he may have condemned publicly, behind closed doors he was signing away his soul to Russia.
This could be its own thread, but Stephen Miller went before the 1/6 Committee today. He has been fighting the subpoena, but ended up testifying. Makes me wonder if he’s trying to gauge what information they have, and may pass along to the DoJ? He was knee deep in the coup, and openly spoke of alternate electors from the states Trump lost.

Yep. He’s probably leaking to Putin as well. He’s still likely getting bags of cash from Trump.
What's pretty amazing and astonishing here is how close these guys are to the Putin mantra of "it's not 'who votes', but 'who gets to count the votes'..."
None of the people who engaged in these discussions should ever be able to either hold any public office, but also never able to be involved in any election functions. Ever.
Once you put a "king" in power who has cronies that will do these things for him, it's simply Game Over for democracy. Just like the Russian oligarchs have learned with Putin now.
Democracy may be slow and messy at times, and you're not going to get everything you want when people who disagree with you also have a vote. But once you cross the line into autocracy, you will not get your democracy back without a real and bloody revolution.
The committee filed a motion for summary judgment late Friday night that sets out to prove Meadows' centrality to Jan. 6 and former President Trump's efforts to overturn the election – and the relevance of his testimony.
You can read the Jan 6th Committee's motion for summary judgment here january6th.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Meadows, who handed over some documents to the panel before refusing to testify and ceasing his cooperation, is challenging the legality of its subpoenas. The motion is aimed at defeating Meadows' lawsuit and forcing him to sit for testimony.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former executive assistant to Meadows, testified that at least ten lawmakers – mostly members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus – met with Meadows on Dec. 21, 2020, according to the filing.
Some of the members professed belief in a legal theory that then-Vice President Mike Pence could unilaterally reject electoral votes on Jan. 6, Hutchinson said.
Ah, a Christmas Coup. How heartwarming
Guess who was there? She named Reps. Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louie Gohmert, Jody Hice, Paul Gosar, Debbie Lesko, and Scott Perry (R-Pa.), but said a "handful" of others were present or dialed in as well.
If you needed to repel an invasion of zombie lepers by meeting them with something worse - there's your team.
She testified that in a December meeting that included Meadows, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani's associates, the White House Counsel's office raised concerns about a plan to have alternate electors cast votes for Trump and that this plan was "not legally sound."
The filing also sheds more light on the origins of an assertion committee members have made with increasing intensity in recent weeks: that Trump's inner circle was forewarned about the possibility of violence on Jan. 6.
Hutchinson testified that people "brought information forward" to Meadows that "indicated that there could be violence on the 6th."
Specifically, she said, then-White House chief of operations Anthony Ornato raised concerns about intel reports warning of potential violence and Meadows responded, "All right. Let's talk about it."
Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in a statement, "It’s essential that the American people fully understand Mr. Meadows’s role in events before, on, and after January 6th."
"The Select Committee’s filing today urges the Court to reject Mark Meadows’s baseless claims and put an end to his obstruction of our investigation ... His attempt to use the courts to cover up that information must come to an end.”
