This is always worth remembering when dealing with anyone defending Trump.
I can already picture the conversation when a Republican trots out the standard narrative in response to today’s events:
MAGAt: It’s nothing but a partisan witchhunt!
Me: Do you think so? Which evidence that the committee reviewed do you disagree with?
MAGAt: I didn’t watch it, because it’s nothing but a partisan witchhunt!
“That stuff Trump’s daughter said! She’s known to come from a family of total fucking liars!”
I’ve never understood the “it’s political” argument. They’re politicians. Nearly everything they do is inherently political.
Um, no.
EVERYTHING Republicans do is to try to get re-elected and enrich themselves. That’s it. Nothing more.
Then they all need to find good attorneys. Most of them are failing badly.
LOL.
Right after hell announces its third skating marathon.
For those who are wondering who Kenneth Chesebro is and why he was specifically named as one who should be indicted in the Committee’s summary, here is a gift article that explains his role in the fake electors scheme:
I didn’t know who he was and I found this from last October.
Oh please, oh please tell me that his name is pronounced “cheese bro”.
It sounds like a made up name for a sketch about Trump. “This is Donald’s friend, the cheese bro.”
LOL, I thought it, too, but I’ve most commonly heard it pronounced “chez-bro.”
Yeah, when I first saw that, I though you were joshin’.
Like, having fun with buddy’s quote.
Do these criminal referrals “really” matter? Not in any procedural or legal sense.
Similarly, it didn’t “really” matter whether the Mueller report included a closing paragraph explicitly summarizing its findings as “Trump is guilty of a bunch of crimes, and he should definitely be impeached”. But in retrospect it would probably have been better if it had.
When Trump was in office and sane people wondered if everyone was just going to act like nothing was wrong here, that was unreal. Bad times, crazy times. That “adults in the room” have stated publicly that Trump and his lying fucking bullshit was wrong, and in their collective opinion, criminal, matters a lot to me. Even if nothing comes from it. Just knowing that not everyone kept their fucking mouth shut. For the history books, and all that.
What is amazing is how many lawyers have put their licenses on the line. The witness tampering by lawyers is mind boggling. Just from this intro material there are many lawyers that are going to need much better lawyers.
In addition to the J6 committee giving the DOJ political cover for charging Trump, I would like to note that the American voter also gave the DOJ political cover by overwhelmingly rejecting election denier candidates last month.
This isn’t supposed to matter, of course, but it does. It would be much harder to do this had the Red Wave actually occurred.
With the American voters rejecting election denial combined with our representatives forwarding this recommendation to the DOJ, We, the People have done our jobs.
It is now time for the DOJ to do theirs.
Remember Michael Luttig, the esteemed conservative Republican legal scholar that testified about how Eastman’s legal theories were bullshit?
I’m not putting that MF in the heroes column, because he’s quite possibly the reason Trump wasn’t impeached.
Colbert compared Jack Smith to General Zod and I’m okay with that.
Zod got stuff done.
Shit.
Just realized…
If Donald Trump sells NFT’s of his arrest, trial, conviction, and imprisonment, I may actually go broke. 
Well said.
In my view, the failure of the red wave was the first real indication we had that the January 6th Committee had done theirs. I believe it was their concerted efforts, against immense opposition from within their own ranks of Congress, that did more to persuade the American people what we are truly facing and how close we came to losing our democracy.
I also believe that our job, meaning that of the American people, is far from done. Our democracy remains in peril.
