Maybe because the Republican Party is actually the Trumplican party and evidence produced by the J6 committee may not paint a nice picture of the Trumpiest members of Congress. Going into the midterm elections obviously they don’t need to deal with any reason to see their constituents be disgusted by some of their members.
You really believe charges weren’t filed for lack of evidence to prosecute? Gotcha. I guess all those crystal clear images of riots/crimes happening we all saw on tv were not enough evidence. Good grief.
Pretty sure a good bit more were mom and pops who lost their lives work. But whatever.
Please be precise. We are talking about when charges were filed, but the charges were dropped. Consider what this means, e.g., a judge looking at the evidence.
Hey thank god it wasn’t a skateboard. We’d need an AR to defend ourselves in that case
Would this full under witness tampering? Keep quiet about me and I’ll pardon you when I’m president again.
I challenge, anyone…. On the face of the earth…. To a debate on how anyone being charged with crimes on J6 is being treated unfairly.
Wrong thread. This thread is about investigating who coordinated J6, what was going on in the White House on J6 and the days up to J6, who coordinated the fraudulent electors, telephone calls to Secretary of States and election officials, was there any contact between members of Congress and the rioters, the Big Lie itself and how it brought the protesters that became rioters to the Capital etc. The crimes and investigation on the riot itself has been the duty of the DOJ. Yes the committee may have started with the events of J6 I think the committee would have already concluded their work and would not have subpoenaed friends, White House officials and members of Congress if that was what their investigation was about. And yes the DOJ will pursue any crimes by all those who were involved further up the ladder if warranted. We already know the DOJ is looking into the fraudulent electors of several states.
Don’t forget the 10 or so far charged by the DOJ of “seditious conspiracy” which carries a sentence of up to 20 years. I am thinking we are going to see people like Brannon and Giuliani charged with that as well. Tough to convict on this but I have heard some experts say the DOJ has a very good case. May be some lawyers lose their licenses to practice beyond the states that Giuliani has already lost his. Any other names out there you agree that are in serious trouble? Powell, Eastman, Meadows?
That Dems would/should lose seats over higher ups in and around government doing what they did around J6 is a pretty sad state of affairs.
Trump tonight said if he wins in 2024; “We will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. Because they’re being treated so unfairly”
I believe the audacity of this statement has basically sealed his doom. Only a low percentage of voters with flatworm intelligence will support him now.
I don't know if I'd go that far but it's not gonna persuade any of the 81 million who voted against him that they made a mistake.
I follow a couple of political observers who are of the opinion that the number of undecideds is at an historical low. Winning now is a result of motivating your voters. Hilary wasn't great at that and Donald squeaked in. Only to demonstrate how laughably unfit he was for the job and in turn motivating record numbers to usher him out.
Some…but if they already were still considering him…not sure how that statement would have changed that. He has said and done many things far worse than that.Joe Mammy said:
Maybe people want to move on from this event. The average American is hurting from out of control inflation and COVID-19. They have little interest in this event anymore. Dems are in for a bloodbath come midterms, because they fail to listen to what is important to the American people.lazyike said:

My poll showed 82% of Democrats approve of this investigation. I think it's the 60% of Republicans that just don't want their party exposed or tarnished before the midterms. There are only 9 House members on this committee. That leaves 420 some members of the House, the entire Senate and the Biden Administration to deal with other issues of the nation. I think it is very important we find out who, what and how individuals were trying to change the real election results so we can once again have the vast majority of the country have confidence in our elections and those that have falsely threatened that confidence pay the price for it.
Nothing says "law and order" more than pardoning people that attacked police, vandalized the US Capitol, and called for the hanging of the Vice President for doing his job.dozer said:
Not only did he know about it but he was directing it. I mean it’s not really surprising that he did it but there are witnesses talking to the media and likely to cooperate. We’re gonna find out that all those crazy plans we heard rumors about were attempted. How long until we find out martial law planned?
Yet there are still people on this board that support this person and would happily vote for him again.
And there simply isn’t anything that will change that. Often they simply don’t listen to any news so they won’t know that he tried to have voting machines seized or now is saying Pence could have overturned the election. And to turn on him would be an admission they were wrong, certainly not a characteristic you will find in ardent Trump supporter. And there are quite a few of them who would be perfectly fine with it even if he had been elected illegally.
