The full quote is much more enlightening IMO:
What I’m asking you to do is to say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.
Frankly, I’m surprised that the current slate of indictments haven’t extended to MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, and the rest of their traitor caucus compatriots.
So there is a really real discussion within the Federal Government if Trump supporters in the Govt should be subject to a security review to have their clearances revoked for Anti-American sentiments and activities.
Wait. Hold on a fucking minute.
I cant even have a security review to have clearance before I get a job that requires it (and then what happens if you don’t?) but these people aren’t even reviewed?
Fuck, you want to talk about compromised information, that’s a fuckload of security risks
I think it would be very hard to prosecute, because the Constitution gives direct protection to Members of Congress who are discussing matters at the Capitol in their official capacity, in the Speech and Debate clause. And since validating the Electoral College count is expressly spelled out in the Constitution as a thing Congress does, it will be hard to argue that the Speech and Debate Clause doesn’t apply.
MTG passed out pictures of Hunter’s penis in Congress, after all, and is not likely to face any repercussions at all. (If she does, it will be because she tweeted it, too.,…)
I think it all really depends on what you have evidence they said, saw and knew.
Yeah, I agree it will be impossible to convict a congressional rep for voting against certification. BUT if you have evidence that person was attending meetings where a criminal conspiracy was taking place and especially if you have evidence they were directed to stall, and especially if they knew what was to happen after the vote failed… Then idk maybe they can be charged as part of a conspiracy. But just voting NO on it? I don’t think that’s criminal in and of itself.
Especially since the propaganda machine is working on the current round of charges.
Once Trump goes down the rest will follow
I agree. But I’m also not particularly opposed to a hammer being used in place of a screwdriver in this specific instance.
I want to see his goddamn kids also thrown in jail.
Nothing will hurt him more than if Ivanka is roped into his corruption.
But I guarantee you it won’t happen.
Really, you think so? Trump strikes me as a person who ultimately doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself when backed into a corner.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I want to see them in jail, too, but I think just about any negative repercussions to his own life would hurt him more than seeing his kids suffer consequences. Push comes to shove, I can see him throwing those kids under a bus, even Ivanka.
Nothing will hurt him more than if Ivanka is roped into his corruption
I’m gonna take Ivanka out to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again!
