Breaking 1-06-21: MAGA terrorist attack on Capitol

Damn, they are just now thinking that. It's been almost 14 months. Ridiculous. Just charge this lying sociopath and put his nasty as* behind bars where he belongs.

 

And?????

If they're not going to do anything then stop all the investigating....

Just a waste of time...

I think the strategy is to keep it going until midterms at least. The outrage on both sides is the fuel that keeps both political machines running. Problem of the commons. Personal (or sub-group) advantage supercedes collective best interest.

 

They are a committee in Congress. Not law enforcement. They'll surely write a referral to the AG at some point if they haven't already, but it's his discretion to prosecute or decline. My guess is they realize he's trying like hell to ignore the crimes, and they are going to dump as much evidence on his lap in a very public way that'll force him to appoint a special prosecutor.

The legislative goal though is to give guidelines for reforming the electoral count act, and other safety provisions into law. Having a full picture of the loopholes they were trying to exploit actually does matter because they'll try again, and again.

 

Oh I do understand....

But for me... It makes the Dems look freaking weak....

Kinda like a parent saying if you don't stop, i'm going to do this... Basically nothing but threats... After while the kid goes what ever....

The Dems have been crap since last year... Either do something or shut the hell up... We all know what he did was a criminal act... Hell even his own followers know, but they are laugh their ass off at this BS...

Hmm... far be it for me to suggest there is a political benefit from doing this slowly, but... let's just say they won't have to put up with complaints of "rush to judgement".

 

Just another of Trump's mob of felon friends. Roger Stone is not a good man. Epstein was not a good man. Trump loves hanging with the worst possible people.

 

Conspiracy, planned well in advance...

Hmmm...

WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) - A Texas man who joined the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by former President Donald Trump supporters was found guilty for his role in the attack on Tuesday, a milestone victory for federal prosecutors in the first such case to go before a jury.

The defendant, Guy Reffitt, was found guilty on all five of the felony charges he faced, including bringing a gun onto the Capitol grounds and obstructing an official proceeding.

Reffitt's trial was seen as an important test case as the U.S. Justice Department attempts to secure convictions from the hundreds of defendants who have not taken plea deals.

The federal jury in Washington returned the unanimous verdict after just two hours of deliberation.

Reffitt never entered the Capitol, but video showed him egging on the crowd and leading other rioters up a set of stairs outside the building.

Reffitt, who wore a bulletproof vest and a helmet, persisted up the staircase even as police officers pelted him with pepper balls and doused him with chemical spray.

In a video clip played for jurors, Reffitt repeatedly urged rioters to drag House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers out of the Capitol building.

"I didn't come here to play — I'm taking the Capitol," the video showed Reffitt saying at one point. "I just want to see Pelosi's head hitting every stair on the way out."

Prosecutors also accused Reffitt, 49, of threatening his teenage children with harm if they turned him into authorities after the attack.

Reffitt's estranged son Jackson, now 19, turned his father into the FBI and testified against him during the week-long trial. "He said, 'If you turn me in, you're a traitor,'" Jackson Reffitt told jurors during his testimony. "'And traitors get shot.'"

Some 200 defendants have already pleaded guilty to charges relating to the attack, which sent lawmakers running for their lives. Reffitt's trial was seen as an important test case as the U.S. Justice Department attempts to secure convictions from the hundreds of defendants who have not taken plea deals.

They face charges ranging from unlawful picketing to seditious conspiracy, with which 11 people affiliated with the right-wing Oath Keepers were charged in January.

Thousands of people stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after a fiery speech in which Trump falsely claimed his election defeat was the result of widespread fraud, an assertion rejected by multiple courts, state election officials and members of his own administration.

 

This whole thing is ****ing sad and has ripped apart a family. Honestly, this guy should be ashamed of himself. It's a long road to get there but he will have time. I hope he and his kids can eventually reconcile.

 

Prosecute NOW and hang it over the heads of the GOP in the midterms.
