1. Looks like the party's really over for these

ReTHUG state party leaders.

2. Excellent!

7. I commented in another thread that I was puzzled by that move.

I thought that since the DOJ has announced (the deputy AG lisa Monaco did) that they were investigating, congress would cooredinate with them and stay out of the way as is typically the case. Would not that pose problems for congress to try to interview the same people that the DOJ is investigating ? Could that jeopardize the investigation?

[Justice matters.]

17. They will probably invoke their 5th Amendment rights

IF they show up.

3. Names:

The committee subpoenaed the following people:

Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino from Arizona. Cottle is listed on the Arizona Federation of Republican Women's website as being the group's vice president.

David Shafer and Shawn Still from Georgia. Shafer is the chair of the Georgia GOP and was a plaintiff in some of Trump's longshot lawsuits to overturn the election in Georgia. Still was the Georgia GOP's finance chair and is now running for a Georgia Senate seat.

Kathy Berden and Mayra Rodriguez from Michigan. Berden was a national committeewoman at the Republican National Committee and served as a Trump delegate at the 2016 GOP convention. Rodriguez unsuccessfully ran for a Michigan House seat in 2020.

Jewll Powdrell and Deborah Maestas from New Mexico. Powdrell recently told the Albuquerque Journal that he signed the fake certificate at the behest of former Rep. Steve Pearce, the head of the New Mexico GOP. Maestas previously served in that role, leading the state GOP.

Michael McDonald and James DeGraffenreid from Nevada. McDonald is the Nevada GOP chairman and reportedly promoted false voter fraud claims in 2020. DeGraffenreid's Facebook page says he is a national committeeman from Nevada for the RNC.

The committee subpoenaed Bill Bachenberg and Lisa Patton from Pennsylvania. Bachenberg is a board member of the National Rifle Association and spoke at a pro-Donald Trump fundraiser in 2020.

5. Lock them up!

So fools in the future don't think they can do this again !!!

We live in a misinformation world now, the only legacy of Trump is that everybody is slightly dumber.

10. They should be isolated so they can't coordinate their stories.

Round here, if the cops suspect you, they show up at your door and take you in for questioning on the spot.

They don't want you talking to other suspects or to have time to make up stories and alibis.

I don't get this "Let's invite them in for a chat, and if they won't come, we'll issue a subpoena, and if they still won't come, we'll have months of appeals and maybe the subpoenas will get enforced and maybe not."

11. Maybe the Feds want them coordinating their stories - over the phone, helps with the wiretaps.

[Sneederbunk]

6. Subpoena all impostor electors.

[PRETZEL]

9. That was my first thought also

why only 14 and not the full 56 (I think that's the number I heard)?

[jmowreader]

12. It looks like they're taking down the ringleaders first

[malaise]

14. Nicolle Wallace eat al discussing this now

Rather scheme and the seditious criminality- the party’s over.

[kimbutgar]

8. No, in house detention

I’m sick mom hearing these insurrectionist traitors getting a slap on the wrist and being sentenced to home so they can continue watching watching, OANN, newsmax and right wing radio propaganda.

[spanone]

13. K&R

GOP is a criminal enterprise....nothing more.

[malaise]

15. +1,000

Lock them up.
They are going down - Nicolle Wallace is correct - this is the Slobfather not noun/verb/9/11.
At the helm is the Slobfather.

[DownriverDem]

16. Yay!

I sure hope the Michigan cheaters get locked up!

18. It's the Midas touch in reverse: Trump destroys everyone and everything he touches.

The whole concept of karmic justice is dead if the despicable POS manages to skate on this one.

[malaise]

19. I think his luck has finally run out
