Federal prosecutors obtained more than 130,000 email messages in a Jan. 6-related investigation that appears to be focusing on Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), newly released court filings show. In particular, prosecutors were focused on Perry’s communications with three lawyers – two of them officials at the Justice Department – who took part in efforts to try to use DOJ to help reverse the outcome of the 2020 election, according to the filing.

Show no mercy to anyone who attempted to overthrow an honest election. Even less mercy to those who took an oath to serve and protect the US Constitution and behind the scenes attempted to reverse the election. This is why the Republican Party is dead and needs to be replaced. And just where are the “Moderate Republicans”? My answer - they no longer exist.

Just look at and read the texts. And all this Nation hears is silence from the center to the right. The sound is simply deafening.

Not sure that this shows us much of anything, other than further confirmation that DOJ is actively investigating the fake electors/state legislatures part of the attempted coup.

Well, the SOMETHING is that he never tells me anything about what he’s doing. He hasn’t called me once; not once. Are his fingers broken?

My advice to all of them is to start negotiating your plea deals NOW, before TFG is indicted. Testify against him, and MAYBE you’ll do only a year or so at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, grooming the golf course. Sure, you may lose your law license for a few years, but there will always be Wingnut Welfare once you’re out.

Though I did, this is an issue that American conservatives have to solve.

Testify against him. I am shocked. These are upstanding righteous Men (and Women) who will stand by the courage of their convictions and never rat on their leader DJT…

Just messing with you. They will dime the Orange POS out in a heartbeat.

A Patel spokesman said: “Mr. Patel categorically denies reaching any immunity ‘deal’ with the government. Rather, his testimony was compelled over his objection through the only legal means available to the government – a grant of limited immunity.”

I’m glad I was not on the team reviewing these 130,000 emails. These deplorables are deplorable writers, and I deplore the fact that I have gone temporarily blind reading all these Meadows texts. It’s worse than grading exams I tell you.

Rep. Scott Perry may be going through some things soon.

Of course, not enough for McCarthey (or whoever gets the Speakership) and other Republicans to do anything with regard to his status in the House.
