Reps. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan plotted with Trump to stop Biden from becoming president, House Janu

January 6 committee says

Republican lawmakers held calls with former President Donald Trump in December 2020 to plot ways to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to court records filed by the congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.

The committee filed deposition excerpts on Friday, which detail how Republican lawmakers, such as Reps. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, plotted with Trump to stop then-candidate Joe Biden from becoming president.

Gaetz, Jordan, and other Republican lawmakers participated in calls and meetings with Trump and his aides after he lost the 2020 presidential election, according to testimony given to the committee by Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

Hutchinson said in the deposition records that various Republican lawmakers, including Gaetz, Jordan, Reps. Scott Perry, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Louis Gohmert, either met in person or dialed into meetings discussing ways to usurp Biden's victory.

Justice isn't blind but it can be real slow in high profile cases.
Probably turn when they sit in front of Jan 6th Committee.

Maybe a sense that he's exposed himself and needs to do another cover-up? He's obviously not in his "comfort zone."

"During these meetings, the Republican lawmakers explored avenues that "could potentially be a constitutional and viable option to either stall certification of the election or to delay the inauguration or to assert that Mr. Trump had actually won," she said."


There is no Constitutional and viable option to overturn a legal election. I know of no Constitutional option to delay the inauguration, to stall certification, or to lie about who won, unless it's martial law. They could - and did - object to the certification but that was the only Constitutional monkey wrench they could throw, and it didn't stall anything. Fuck, even Pence knew that.

The only thing they had left was an attempted coup, an insurrection. Sedition used to be punishable by hanging.



When I think about it, I am gobsmacked that they would do all of this for that piece of garbage criminal orange motherfucker.

Of course, no. 1 would be the Slobfather himself, but I'll take what I can get. These two plus MTG would be a good start. Throw in Josh Hawley, and it would be even better. (I will not be forgiving him for that upraised fist in this lifetime.)

Of course there's a whole list of other people, too. But this would do for a start.

RIDDLE:

Q. What do you call 1 senator and 3 reresentatives in jail for sedition?
A. A good start.
