If anyone would feel justified on squealing on T****'s botched coup / lynching, it’s Q-Tip.

There must have been a fly on the wall that could tell us something.

If at the time they didn’t see the gallows from the windows of the Capitol, they surely saw it in the following days’ news reports.

One would think that that image helps provide clarity.

Will Q-Tip keep his hands-off of this information gathering effort?

I’m glad to see the house investigation.

But I want teeth. I expected the FBI would investigate the January 6 insurrection. But for some odd reason, Trump appointee Wray seems to have limited his agents to below the Boogaloos and Proud Boys level.

We aren’t seeing any signs of a federal investigation of any Republican politician or staffer who were involved in the insurrection. No lawyers have stepped forward with statements. There have been none of the usual grifting, none of the defense fund pleadings, that we always see during investigations of Republican crooks.

Garland and Wray are letting this slide.

I noticed a hell of a lot of males worked for Pence. I also wonder which way Marc Short is going to jump. He left the WH over Trump’s comment about Charlottesville.

Pence needs to get back to Indiana and what he was good at. You know… Blowing an 8 billion dollar surplus, and causing AIDS/Hep epidemics by shutting down needle exhanges. :frowning:

Correction : to Indiana. People of Illinois please accept my apology.

It’s important to understand the difference between how the DOJ operates and how the House 1/6 committee operates. We’re hearing a lot of things about the committee because much of that work is necessarily done in public. The DOJ doesn’t operate like that. They won’t tip their hand with current investigations, and you won’t hear what information goes to a grand jury if one is called for criminal charges related to the insurrection. You’ll only hear about it when an indictment drops.

So it’s too soon to be getting frustrated about Garland’s DOJ. We have no idea what they’re working on, and that’s by design.

‘45’ is still alive and (as Youngkin and a pivotal number of ‘blind’ Virginians proved) he’s still the circus’ ringmaster.

OT but North Dakota has now passed the 20% mark for COVID-19 infections. One in every 5 people in the state have now had it.

The amount of dead American s by COVID just shy of ND’s population count. So I will assume that deaths in ND will be noticed.
