...The consensus is that the weaponization hearings are not going to result in criminal convictions, and in essence, are a dumb show signifying nothing.



My guess is that the social network big tech companies will lose their exemption (Section 230) which will open up a whole can of whoop ass and make work for lawyers. But even this may be watered down by the lobbyists.


As far as the fresh hell Twitter files opened up for the FBI, since the FBI has been spying on Congress and aligned itself to one party, my guess what ever happens, its not going to be pretty.

Not every investigation is going to turn up some secret conspiracy. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Pretty sure the committee can only recommend charges against various folks and it’s up to Merrick Garland to act, which we know he won’t since he’s highly partisan. Either way, I think it’s important for folks to know what is going on inside government.

History will remember these times as bad times
I think it will reveal that the extremists on both side will look foolish and that the people in the middle were the ones that paid dearly for it.

Exactly Correct.

The reality is that the only Charges that a House Committee can actually bring are articles of Impeachment.
