When it was all happening, I kept thinking to myself, "why aren't they being arrested right away?" If I went down to a local precinct and tried to break into the voting machines there, I would be hauled away by the police immediately. All this stuff the GOP did was illegal, every last one of them involved needs to be prosecuted. You can't take voting machines. You can't try to break into voting machines. Justice is coming.

The Democrats are certain the Republicans will take no prisoners when they're in power. That's why they are hands off thus far. This approach will backfire. There is no doubt the Republicans will create new dirty tricks, legal and illegal, to push the Democratic party out of existence. The fight is already a no holds barred struggle.

The marshall's need to arrest them as soon as they testify. Admitting guilt with impunity is a thing of previous month's hearings. Or should be.

Threaten everyone until they are 100% compliant.

Yes we have to fight back, you are right.

One political part is really a crime syndicate, on a permanent crime spree with no consequences.

The you know what is hitting the orange ventilation system. Once that dam breaks, fingers will be pointed and it will reveal the congressional malfeasance. I guess justice finally decided to sacrifice the GQP legislators. Gonna be a blood bath before it's all over.

his plausible deniability is broken, but it has to be really bad for these criminal conspirators anyway. The J6 committee has been investigating the Meadows-Waldron for some time, but last I read months ago Meadows had said he didn't actually act on any of Waldron's recommendations.

After GOPers W and Cheney committed election fraud in Florida, with a little help from the GOPers on the Supremes and his GOP Governor brother. Then GOPers put in weird voting machines bought from their GOP pals. And then GOPers commit election fraud again in Ohio in 2004 with some help from the GOP computers in Chattanooga and GOP Election Chief Blackwell.

And then this GOPer tries to steal voting machines and data to prove the GOP president did not lose and Dems committed election fraud? Where was he in 2000 and 2004?

So GOPers commit several crimes to rig elections and then worry that their opponents will do the same crime?

They are so convinced their opponents are doing what they themselves are doing that they commit other crimes to try and make it look like their opponents did what they were doing all along.

This sounds really crazy. The GOP is nuts.

I refuse to state it any differently. They all deserve to be tried accordingly, and it is THEIR right to have a speedy trial. Let's get on with it.

They'll use the power of an autocracy to crush anyone who gets in their way - if they come to power.

We (current democracy) should take extraordinary measures to get them to justice as soon as possible.
