GOP lawmakers deeply involved in Trump plans to overturn election, new evidence suggests


"Republican members of Congress were heavily involved in calls and meetings with former President Donald Trump and his top aides as they devised a strategy to overturn the election in December 2020, according to new evidence filed in federal court late Friday.

Lawmakers who attended meetings, in person or by phone, included Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and numerous members of the House Freedom Caucus, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Meadows who provided key testimony about the conversations and meetings Meadows had in December 2020."

They did this for a man who besmirches everything he touches, a thoroughly corrupt monster. I knew it, but I'm still heartbroken.

so slow to do something.

Overturning an election is a good gamble for some; mainly those who don't understand, or care about, long term ramifications.

That lying criminal asshole McCarthy wanted on the 1/6 committee. Lock these assholes up. At minimum ban them from office forever. Do it in honor of every veteran that has ever lost life or limbs for this democracy. GQP swamp draining my ass. These slimy beasts have only bred and multiplied under trump regime.
