1. GQP congresscritters (more than a few) knew . ...

[secondwind]

2. Wow! I can't believe what I just read...!!

[Firestorm49]

18. When, just when, does an act become treasonous? Are ramifications a thing of the past -

just like all of the other “them rich folk” perks that deny accountability?

I’m sick and tired of it. I want there to be repercussions. If we can’t even do that as a party, you might just as well tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ever forgiving ass goodbye.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Agreed.

[agingdem]

3. the 1/6 Select Committee has the receipts..

and I'm so enjoying watching Trump and his vile co-conspirators castrate themselves...

[Botany]

4. TFG fired Sec. of Defense Mark Esper less then one week after he lost the election and replaced ..

... him with Christopher Miller. Prior to Miller's 1/4/21 memo the D.C. National Guard had the autonomy and the
authority to respond own their own to things like the 1/6/21 violent coup. The D.C. National Guard could have
been there in minutes and put a stop to that crap.

BTW just last week TFG was blaming Nancy Pelosi for telling the guard to stay away.

5. Compare to other protests n/t

6. Max Miller is running for Congress,

and his platform is to disband 1/6 investigations.

[FakeNoose]

7. Miller is running in the Ohio 13th Congressional District - Cleveland and northeast Ohio

Come on Cleveland Democrats, this is a challenge to bring this guy down.
Do not let him get into Congress!

ANY Democrat is better than Max Miller.

[True Blue American]

13. That area should be leaning Democratic!

Another sleazeball. Miller fits right in with DeWine and his hacks.very interesting.

[llmart]

14. I always thought of that area as being mostly Democratic.

I haven't lived there in almost forty years, but my family is still there and I still think of it as more liberal than the southern regions.

Democrats need to get out the vote in every election, not just presidential election years.

[True Blue American]

12. Yep

From Ohio! And now DeWine has been named in another laws suit. They completely ignored the Independent committee we voted for twice. More gerrymandered than the last one Boehner developed. The corruption of Republicans has become so bad in Ohio yet the old die hard rural keep voting Republican.

27. I see Max Miller is being subpoenaed by the Jan 6 Committee

8. Every one of these folks who committed sedition / treason ought to be locked up

[Kablooie]

9. Wow.

I don't think I've ever seen a memo like this that deliberately removes all tools law enforcement need to do their job.
It's so obviously a setup for the coup.

I wish something serious could be done to all the leaders of this insurrection but so far all I've heard of is the very bottom, low level pawns who didn't have any idea what they were getting into, being punished.

[bringthePaine]

10. memo speaks for itself - all should be declared enemy combatants

[zaj]

11. If this same letter were issued during BLM protests, what would be...

... the problem? Is this a coup hiding behind a "we were doing the right thing" defense?

[flying_wahini]

15. So when we see treason and the evidence in front of our very eyes and

these people are proven guilty and they continue to do it what else can we do?
Our people in charge can’t prosecute or punish them because we don’t have the numbers
then what else can be done?
The short answer = they have already won.

Chris Miller and these other fools belongs in prison.

[msfiddlestix]

16. I feel like the House Impeachment Committee was in possession of this memo

and made it public via Impeachment trial..? Am I miss-remembering timelines and events?

I just feel like this memo was out there shortly after.

Guess I had better do a refresher course on the end times of TFG's reign of terror. Somethings seems to have blurred in memory.

[simplesimon]

17. Memo must not have been read in its entirety by Army sec

Guard forbidden "...to interact physically with protesters except when necessary in self-defense or defense of others..."
Defense of "others" was exactly what was needed and called for.

[PatrickforB]

19. GOP - the party of TREASON, conspiracies, stupidity, gun violence and DEATH.

These traitors make me want to vomit.

[Marcuse]

20. Stand down and stand by.

[TeamProg]

21. Writings of an insane person. n/t

[Frasier Balzov]

23. Reason given for neutering them? Bad optics of confrontation.

The optics we got instead were far from reassuring.

[BlueJac]

24. OMG , What craziness.

Just when are we really going to do something to these despicable people? They are still planning in darkness out of sight and infiltrating into our into our government.

[LittleGirl]

25. WTF did I just read? OMG ! There it is! nt

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Just when I think "that should be enough" it never is. Day after day, month after month.

[RussBLib]

30. yes, but... how much more do we know now....

... than we knew a few months ago? And how much more is there to learn? Bringing charges now could be premature.

[RussBLib]

29. and on whose authority did Miller act?

As if we don't know
