    1. @A. BarkerYeah — fast and slipshod. You’ll be satisfied with perp walks — and then blame everyone else for the rush when they are acquitted.

  1. Every office, every closet had to be searched before declaring the Capitol secure.

    1. Somehow never has to face any consequences. Actually caught red-handed at Marlago holding 15 boxes of classified documents. No charges.

  2. How is it a surprise that Putin’s good friend would have alternative facts, alternative electors, alternative news, and an alternative constitution?

  3. Jeffrey Clark….what a sad, sad little man. Not particularly bright, no great accomplishments to his name, not very good-looking…and Orange taps him! I’m gonna bet this was the most exciting thing to ever happen to him. It simultaneously turns my stomach and makes me want to cry.

  4. Meanwhile Clark took the 5th and executive privilege, so he is admitting it all was a crime and also it was not something he concocted but came down from the executive or Trump. If you watch FOX and the next day do all these things including the letter on your own that is the 5th there is no privileged executive communication, so claiming executive privilege means Trump was in the middle of it.

  5. “Just say it was corrupt and leave to me and the Republican Congressmen” — that was the game, to allow the repetition of a claim to become the defacto truth.

  6. Goodness sakes, he’s a man in his late 70’s. He’s responsible for his own actions. He wasn’t unduly influenced by his minions; rather, he encouraged and supported them in their attempts.

    1. encouraged and supported is putting it mildly. the terms browbeat, threaten, cajole, and intimidate come to mind.

  7. Why did those 3 Republicans ask for pardons??? I thought people that break laws ask for pardons.🤷🏼‍♂️

    1. EXACTLY. people were telling him what he wanted to do was illegal but he wanted it done anyway.. and given a pardon, “just in case.”

  8. These criminals are still defending him. Amazing. Of course, they were breaking the law! Of course, he was asking them to do so!

  9. After Bowers’ testimony and then shocking statement he would vote for Trump in 2024, I am very fearful for democracy.

    1. @Lee Neil , that’s just what i though . People who can’t win a argument . Result to insults and name calling . It’s the only thing a child has in their arsenal .

    1. You are exactly right! I am glad to see some people still have integrity! We know their boss is a pathetic liar!
