Those who were begging for pardons for 1/6 knew without a doubt that they were involved in a crime. I'd love to see a complete list of the names published.

Both parties are involved. That you don't like Cheney and Kinzinger doesn't change the fact that they are affiliated with the Republican party. You'd probably dislike any Republican who took part in this, anyway.

I'm peeved that the next 'hearing' (dog & pony show) is at 10am tomorrow morning! I hope to get it on the radio so I can listen and get other stuff done.

Biggest mistake by McCarthy. Kind of like the USSR walking out of the Security council in 1950. If you are not in you have no say.

It probably costs a lot of money to book prime time on TV, particularly on every station. They wanted to do that to get maximum viewing for the first hearing, but probably don't have money to throw away on that kind of thing every time.

That list had to come from the WH files. I also wish to see that list.

No thanks. I’ll pass. Will they release things they deem to be “outrageous” Trump behavior? I have no doubt. But that’s what partisans do. Their effort is to politically harm people they have a problem with. That does not get to the point I was making.

It wasnt a crime. It was just your normal tour. Thats what they preach over at Fox News. They want to put this all behind them and move on. Imagine if the parties were switched. The Dems and far left stormed the capital. Fox would be showing it 24 hours a day. Yes crimes were committed. Thats why they were begging for pardons.

Police officers don't usually end up with a TBI, dead or otherwise injured during a normal tour. They refuse to see it.

So it seems you are ok with people getting away with bad behavior because you don't want to see them politically harmed? Strange way of thinking.
