The Jan. 6 committee reportedly interviewed current and former staffers of Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger’s office on Wednesday about former President Trump’s unsuccessful attempts to subvert the battleground state’s election results, according to Georgia Public Broadcasting.

People keep saying waaaahhh the organizers are getting off scot free and ignoring where the investigation is pointing. I don’t get it.
Moving along the body albeit slowly towards the head of the venomous snake.
Is their a genetic advantage to a smaller bladder capacity or something? Cuz I sure don’t see it.

The January 6 Committee is doing as well as a congressional committee can and it is impressive that Cheney is swinging with both fists. But to my perception, the problem seems to be that somewhere along the way, thanks to Manchin and Sinema, the rest of Biden’s agenda developed 4 flat tires and we have no spares. With every day that nothing gets done to protect democracy or bring us any closer to anything that actually is going to protect the environment, or materially improve people’s lives with education, healthcare and living wages, the effort to “get to the bottom” of something that happened almost a year ago now looks less like justice finally getting done and more like politics to the average “just the headlines please” news consumer. This is not the 2021 I was hoping for - it is not even close - and every day in which Joe Manchin gets more press than Joe Biden we are sinking deeper into the cesspool the Republicans are so busily creating locally.
Alex Jones looks very much like he’s going to get indicted on conspiracy to obstruct charges for luring a large number of rally-goers to the east side of the building, where Joe Biggs – indicted Proud Boy and former Alex Jones employee – was waiting for them to help breach the doors on that side. Jones says Trump ordered him to bring the crowd to the Capitol, which he accomplished by falsely claiming that Trump was going to give another speech there.
If Jones goes down, that’s one degree of separation from Trump.
As Schumer just flat out asked Sinema and Manchin what they do want to do while in the Senate with a Dem majority, a slim majority, but still.
Any relation to Rep. Andy Biggs R-AZ?
We already know what they want: set-for-life money from just two short years of selling out, and no one calling them out on it.
The two big pieces of legislation we have already achieved from the Dems and Joe are BIG.
The Voting Rights
Build Back Better
Will have to become Law. We must celebrate what we have achieved and redouble ourselves for the above two…in very important ways, they are our survival.
Given the circumstances we are in I understand the despair. We have not had this degree of Americans fighting Americans in this manner nor two separate realities the Right wishes to impose on us
I dunno. Decades of the Democrats playing Lucy by pulling the football away at the last second is bound to leave a few folks pissed off.
Oh please. Trump learned the art of the screw from Roy Cohn.
Alex who? Never heard of him.
Jeffrey Epstein? Never liked him. Didn’t know him.
Donald Trump Jr? Who?
It’s that easy when you’re a sociopath
As Brad Pitt said in Moneyball, “No one gives a shit if you lose the last game of the season.”
Former White House chief of staff Meadows “was on the phone when President Trump asked the secretary of state to ‘find 11,780 votes’ to change the election results in Georgia,” committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney noted during a House Rules hearing on Tuesday ahead its vote to advance a resolution to hold Meadows in contempt to the full House.
I’m not a lawyer, but Meadows being on this call where Trump is clearly illegally interfering with the electoral process is probably problematic for him. I imagine criminal exposure. Is this the Select Committee sending Meadows a message through Georgia election officials?
It would be like cleaning up Love canal. Toxic waste is toxic waste.
re/ GA & Raffensperger:
"Oh, Lindseeyyyyyyy…"
I have always considered that to be a direct admission of guilt.
This wasn’t a call stating that election laws had been broken, or impermissible changes had been made in the system, or allegation of any kind of fraud, or a single scintilla of proof that Biden or Dems, Dominion or Hugo Chavez, had rigged or stolen anything.
This was flat out asking him to change the vote tallies. With a set number in mind.
