January 6 Hearings Live

Well, if Bannon told the truth, I bet he could get some sort of deal with the DoJ. But it's a tad bit too late for sorry to get him out of this one.

Poor Jason. Check the dictionary for the word "insurrection" and try again. I KNOW that there is a thread where this post is appropriate.

Meanwhile, people were actually convicted of seditious conspiracy (crimes that could lead to prison sentences between 60 and 80 or so years, no, they won't get sentenced that long, but it is just a representation of how serious of a series of crimes these assholes committed)... and Jason apparently feels it necessary to Moore-Coulter it up.

Seems to imply Jason is an anarchist sort of Libertarian.

Fallen officer's family snubs McConnell and McCarthy at Jan. 6 gold medal ceremony

Officers who responded to the Capitol attack pointedly refused to shake hands with the two GOP leaders as they received top honors from Congress Tuesday.

Police officers who responded to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and some of their family members pointedly declined to shake the hands of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy as they accepted Congressional Gold Medals on Tuesday.

Officers and the family of fallen officer Brian Sicknick shook hands with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as they accepted the medals, but quickly moved past the House and Senate Republican leaders — despite McConnell outstretching his hand. All senior congressional leaders were participating in the event to honor U.S. Capitol Police officers, Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police and others who responded during the riot.

Trump campaign paid researchers to prove 2020 fraud but kept findings secret - Wapo

Former president Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign commissioned an outside research firm in a bid to prove electoral-fraud claims but never released the findings because the firm disputed many of his theories and could not offer any proof that he was the rightful winner of the election, according to four people familiar with the matter.

GOP Witnesses, Paid by Trump Ally, Embraced Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theories

WASHINGTON — House Republicans have spent months promising to use their majority to uncover an insidious bias against conservatives on the part of the federal government, vowing to produce a roster of brave whistleblowers who would come forward to provide damning evidence of abuses aimed at the right.

But the first three witnesses to testify privately before the new Republican-led House committee investigating the “weaponization” of the federal government have offered little firsthand knowledge of any wrongdoing or violation of the law, according to Democrats on the panel who have listened to their accounts. Instead, the trio appears to be a group of aggrieved former FBI officials who have trafficked in right-wing conspiracy theories, including about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, and received financial support from a top ally of former President Donald Trump.

Jim Jordan's credibility questioned over whistleblowers' testimony

FBI witnesses who testified to "weaponization" of government committee spread "alarming" conspiracy theories and received financial support from Trump ally.

I understand that Jim Jordan's credibility has been questioned. I don't understand why that is considered worthy of putting in a headline. Did he start out with a reputation for credibility? What I recall is that he started out with this:

 Ohio State University abuse scandal​

​

Things went downhill from there, except that now he has been elevated to the position of chairing House committees. Thank you, Republicans.
