7 Jan 2021 and beyond - the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol

I’m not pulling anything. Just quoting the linked article.

So they had committed other federal felonies?

I have no idea. The article is tantalizing to say the least.

There may be more to the story than I originally thought, given that two of the Congresscritters named have made some interesting statements.

First, Mo Brooks throws his staff under the bus:

Boebert effectively lawyered up, throws in the phrase “anywhere in Washington DC” because, well, any future questions regarding her participating insurrectionist activity at places other than the Capitol has already been addressed by her statement saying she didn’t perform Insurrectionist activity at places other than the Capitol.

Which was nothing anyone accused her of…

:thinking:

“And as for what they might have plotted at their hotel just outside of city limits, well…”

Ford’s pardon of Nixon was phrased to cover any Federal crimes he might have committed during his entire Presidency. A Trump pardon of anybody taking part in eeeeeeevil shenanigans on Jan. 6 could have also been very broadly worded.

Wow, that should have been in a different thread – my apologies!

I knew we should’ve hired more Swiss Guard!

Note how she said “on January 6th”. She carefully omitted January 1st through the 5th. Could she have led a group of MAGATs on a tour of he Capitol area before the 6th?

Yup. Just reads like something crafted by a lawyer, or a legalese-minded PR firm.

Well she said that “She had no role in the planning…”

So Lauren, who did have a role in the planning?

A year ago, I wouldn’t have agreed with that sentiment. But now I do.

I am shocked.

But its his experiences with pedophiles that makes him uniquely qualified to point them out. He is only doing these things because he loves children. He is a boner-fide an expert in his field. :eyes:

Damn I could do this all day. Who thought comedians would be lacking for material once Trump left office.

I saw what you did there.

That’s a confession by Brooks.

You don’t become a Conspiracy Theorist for the money.

You do it for the children.

Certainly not the lulz.

Well, of course.

Late Friday night filing by Trump expands documents requested to be hidden, detailing even more avenues of legal exploration:

The Jan6 committee immediately responded with their own filing:
