I bet McCarthy is kicking himself for removing those three Republicans from the committee hearings.

Fine.

Now it seems that Democrats are taking their own sweet time. What's the rush, really?

Why settle for Trump, when you could round up a whole bunch of treason weasels?

DOJ is working it like a RICO case. Not to worry. They'll get there.
When they do act, there won't be an indictment, there will be fifteen of them covering different subjects, and DOJ will have enough evidence to convict on more than one.

I still think Fani Willis is going to beat DOJ in breaking the ice, though. She has a slam dunk in Georgia. What may be holding her up is getting everything ready on Lindsey Graham (Senator Ladybugs) and Rudy Giuliani (Rudy Colludy). Once she's done, they're done.

When has something like this ever happen to this country? I'd say this was a pretty significant event that deserves a complete investigation. How many investigations and waste of "taxpayer dollars" did those Benghazi investigations require? I don't recall Dems crying at this level that this was a waste of time and tax dollars. And January 6th was certainly much more serious than Benghazi.
More serious than Benghazi? I should say so.

Not only did a mob attack the Capitol, and threaten legislators, this was only one part of a plan to overthrow the election that day that included false slates of electors, and the VP throwing out legitimate electors.

Eastman's memo outlines the main points. Clark was, apparently, willing to do his part.

Several Republicans inquired about pardons.

It may take a while to get this all straightened out.

The really stupid part is that Qevin was likely acting on Trump's orders to withdraw them. You can tell that is the case because Trump was saying it was a bad decision this week and excoriating Qevin for it.

Could be. Could be. We'll see.

You obviously can’t distinguish between their obsession to put him behind bars and thinking they want him to run again. If they wanted him to run again they wouldn’t be spending 5+ years to get him.

Lol at their impeachment nonsense. They started impeachment talks almost immediately after poor Hillary lost, and without conviction it means nothing.

Sure they are, and I’m certainly not worried. What’s hilarious is that he hasn’t even said he’s running again.

I think you missed the part about all these witnesses were Trump staff members, Republican election officials and poll workers, and Trump family members.

What probing questions would you have wanted to ask them?

You might want to watch more of the hearings before you answer.

I am not sure McCarthy is smart enough to realize it's his own fault that he doesn't have representation on the committee.

If you have really been watching you can see how the testimony presented looks like a Trump inner circle Confessional Chamber.

They would not have been accepted by Pelosi because they are do-nothing-but-Mitch-and whine
If any other Republicans would have been acceptable to the committee they would have had to come from those who voted to impeach Trump—
None of those 3 did or even now will admit the Big Lie IS a big lie
