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

well that pretty much clears Trump, eh?

 

An interesting outcome of the sedition charges filed today... they open up 14th amendment charges to any elected officials that are found to have happened...

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

 

**** just got real...

 

Ahh, Patriots...



Klepper to Matt Gaetz: "Isn't this a little bit childish, Matt, or is that what attracts you to this?"

 

Gee britt... you are 0-2 on these bad takes on January 6. Maybe you should stick with regurgitating right-wing talking points on fox news...

excerpt:

When it comes to Trump, in fact, the indictment includes a message from Rhodes that actually seems to cut against any potential entanglement by the former president in the conspiracy. At 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 6, just after rioters began storming the Capitol, Rhodes texted on Signal, “All I see Trump doing is complaining. I see no intent by him to do anything. So the patriots are taking it into their own hands. They’ve had enough.” This certainly doesn’t sound like a message from someone who had been plotting with Trump or was waiting for his signal to start smashing windows.

So however significant this indictment is, it’s not a sign that the D.C. grand jury is about to unveil charges of seditious conspiracy against the former president—at least not on these facts. Does this mean that accountability for Jan. 6 in criminal court will only go as far as Stewart Rhodes? Not necessarily—as Garland noted in his speech, investigations progress gradually. And the criminal cases brought thus far in the sprawling web of Jan. 6 prosecutions also describe how the Proud Boys engaged in their own efforts, separate from the Oath Keepers, to plan the Capitol attack and rile up the crowd. It’s possible to sketch out what a similar seditious conspiracy indictment might look like against the Proud Boys, which have also been linked to Stone—and perhaps, through Stone, to the White House. But while the Oath Keepers indictment doesn’t rule that out, it doesn’t promise it, either.

Of course our wonderful AG was at the capital during the insurrection. The thing is we all know Paxton does nothing without it being a team effort alongside Patrick and Abbott. Where are they during all of this and why haven’t we heard what role they had in the overall coup? My guess is Paxton is willing to go to jail in order to protect others.

I hope AG Garland has a sack. The state of Texas has been run by criminals for far too long. It’s an embarrassment and still hard to believe these guys can represent our state.

 

Riots is a bit of an understatement. How about Insurrection or Domestic Terrorist attack?

 

Mr Paxton is awaiting trial for a six-year-old securities fraud charge, which has been hanging over him since he assumed office in 2015. His walls will hopefully be coming down soon. Criminals can only hide so long before being caught.

 

mostly peaceful protests?

 

Through orange colored glasses obviously. The truth gets so distorted through tainted vision.

 

Y’all are being silly. Paxton has an alibi. He was in the Oval Office blowing trump while people were storming the Capitol.

 

obviously

you should teach philosophy

 

About as realistic as you being a stand up comic.

 

And just in case one of the three try to claim attorney-client privilege...
