members of congress named and all asked for pardons.
My two ‘heroes’ Gosar and Biggs just got mentioned.
Meeting December 21, 2020 was attended by Pence, Meadows, Giuliani. Mo Brooks organized the meeting around the premise, “only citizens can exert the necessary influence on Senators and Congressmen.”
Other attendees: Br – (name I missed), Biggs, Gaetz, Gomert, Gosar, Harris, Heitz, Jordan, Perry, MTG to discuss the “Eastman theory.”
And Mr. Cipollone thought that the Eastman theory was “nutty.”
the br is brooks.
I think that the 2022 elections are going to be a case of Republicans pulling out all the stops to gain the House and Senate, no matter what they have to do. Because if they don’t, it seems possible that a lot of them are going to jail.
They’re going to do everything - ANYthing legal or not in order to secure victory. This is a do or die moment for many of them.
No, they named someone else, too. It started with ‘Br,’ but it wasn’t Brooks, I don’t believe. It was a name I’m not familiar with. I’m familiar with Brooks.
Cipollone throws Trump under the bus simply by extolling, at length, what V. P. Pence did.
Jan 5th speakers - Stone, Flynn, Ali Alexander, Jones - all riling up the mob in Freedom Plaza.
Man, that Freedom Plaza rhetoric is fiery. All that “1776” stuff.
trump kept the door to the oval open so he could hear the rally on jan 5th. the one where the people considered “too radical” to be with trump on the 6th were speaking.
he really enjoyed it and had people come in to hear it.
I’m going to reissue this reminder every 100 posts, because it will be easy to miss in a fast-moving thread. No one is going astray, and I really hope no one will. Thanks.
Lesko! The Committee hits the Arizona congressional trifecta!
Liked her remarks. A voice of reason (except for the Antifa reference). Paraphrased: “… hundreds of thousands of people … if they don’t get what they want, they will go nuts.”
Trump demanded that language pressuring Pence to overturn the election be added back in to the speech he was giving on the Ellipse on January 6th.
Vis a Vis Flynn, I just did a quick check on grounds a pension can be “suspended.” It doesn’t look promising. Closest is, Are reported to be, or are found to be, mentally incapable of managing their own affairs, and no guardian, trustee, or other legal representative has been appointed
The Committee is working to make the point that this was all planned (with Trump in on it), not a spontaneous event. But by emphasizing all Trump’s ad-libs in his speech, aren’t they rather blurring that message?
after the conversation with pence saying he could do nothing.
Brad Parscale comes across as the sanest person in Trump’s orbit.
Yay, some direct testimony instead of recordings, even if it is a slug.
