online between the proud boys and other groups long before the insurrection.
So he had to know they were talking about weapons and violence.

As good and thorough as the house managers have been, i fear that there will be little impact and we still won’t get 17 crossover votes.

I would be shocked if they changed their minds about the vote.
The GOP has totally lost their way. The entire party needs to be dissolved for the good of the country.

And yes, I wonder if criminal prosecution is a real possibility.
The evidence is all there.
