For the last time: Where are the arrests and Indictments???
No answer. Crickets…….

You must have missed my earlier answer. Here it is again.
There may, or may not be arrests, when they finish their investigations

The investigations into the congress people's part in Jan 6th is ongoing, and hasn't been closed yet.
Yes, for those particular people, not indictments or arrests. That wasn't my point.

Should say "no" indictments, instead of "not" indictments.

All of the flags are backwards. They were actually running away.

Haha!

So your answer after now two years since the event is No Arrests and No Indictments.
Thank you for verifying my point. The “walls” are most assuredly not closing in.
You may now move on to your next ridiculous attack on the right.

I don't think I will.
January 6th was a dark day in our history. (We are watching Brazil duplicate it; curiously the loser there utilizes the services of Bannon.)
940 people were arrested so far, with 482 pleading guilty to various crimes. A few went to trial and were convicted, the rest are pending.
The founder of the Oath Keepers was convicted of seditious conspiracy.
George Washington University is following this in case you are interested:

In addition to the bogus lawsuits that have been dismissed, there are open investigations into the fake elector schemes, and other matters, as well as what was referred to the DOJ.
The committee uncovered a wide array of coordination leading up to that day (Jan 6th). Many implicated plead the 5th, over and over again.
Roger Stone, Eastman, Flynn, etc. All afraid to answer questions because their testimony could incriminate them. (It is their right to refuse to protect themselves.)
Much of that coordination involved congressmen Jordan, Perry, Gosart, Green, etc. They refused to testify before the committee, and some were referred to the Ethics Committee. And a number of them asked the White House for pardons.

Maybe it will all go away, save the hundreds still pending from the insurrection. I hope there is accountability. We'll see.

Leave him alone. If he didn’t have this overwhelming obsession that drives his life, he’d die.

Despite Paul and others taking their cues from the DNC thru their mouthpieces in the MSM, last week's Speaker battle was actually the ‘Most Significant Win For Conservatives In A Decade’.


You see, what we saw last week is what "Democracy" actually looks like. It's what standing up against the party looks like. The Founders didn't design our form of gov't for the 4 or so leaders in Congress to sit behind closed doors and hammer out bills to be shoved down the rest of Congress's throat. Do you understand that Paul? The Founders wanted everyone in Congress to be involved and have a chance to debate a bill. That, too, is what Democracy looks like.


The Conservatives won, therefore America won, with better governance, and an opportunity to begin rooting out corruption.


Rep. Andrew Ogles provided a list of McCarthy’s concessions to journalist Roger Simon, which is quoted in full below:

1) “As has been reported, it will only take a single congressperson, acting in what is known as a Jeffersonian Motion, to move to remove the speaker if he or she goes back on their word or policy agenda.

2) A ‘Church’-style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the FBI and other government organizations (presumably the CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people.

3) Term limits will be put up for a vote.

4) Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them.

5) The Texas Border Plan will be put before Congress. From The Hill: ‘The four-pronged plan aims to ‘Complete Physical Border Infrastructure,’ ‘Fix Border Enforcement Policies,’ ‘Enforce our Laws in the Interior’ and ‘Target Cartels & Criminal Organizations.’’

6) COVID mandates will be ended, as will all funding for them, including so-called emergency funding.

7) Budget bills would stop the endless increases in the debt ceiling and hold the Senate accountable for the same.”

Are you an election denier as well? Then why are all these defendants pleading guilty to trump judges. I know they are stupid morons but why plead guilty if they did nothing wrong. Anyway, now McCarthy has given up so many concessions, your party is led by Greene, Gaetz, Boebert, and a bunch of extreme right wing whackadoo's.

Lesson #1-Not an election denier but do believe there were enough irregularities in the 2020 election to raise some suspicion in certain states. As a Democrat, sounds like you are "all in" for the tools of voter fraud:1) No voter ID, 2) Widespread mail-in voting (which is NOT exactly the same as absentee voting), and 3) Ballot harvesting. Most European countries do not allow mail-in voting because they know it is a main pathway to voter fraud. The Democrats in Pennsylvania illegally expanded mail-in voting in 2020, which went against the state constitution, and the state Supreme Court there recently ruled as such.

Lesson#2- If Jan. 6th was an "insurrection" as you Democrats like to call it, it had to be the worst planned insurrection in history. Usually, insurrectionists are ARMED and the vast majority of the rioters did not have firearms. The only person to be killed in the riot was an UNARMED white female gunned down by a black Capitol cop who should have been fired from the force long ago for past rules violations but because it didn't fit the Democrat narrative, all of the elements of the murder were kept under wraps for months except the name of the victim. I never agreed with the Jan. 6th riot, but if you Democrats (and they are the only ones doing this along with the corrupt and extremely biased liberal lame stream media) want to call it an "insurrection," then all of the "protests" over the George Floyd killing (which went on for months, involved the murders of many innocent people, and caused millions of dollars in property damage) were "insurrections," defined as "a violent uprising against an authority or government," Certainly, the attack on the Federal Courthouse in Portland in which the George Floyd rioters set fire to the building would easily qualify as an "insurrection" except by word-game playing Democrats. If Jan. 6th was an "insurrection," then lots of Capitol Police were accessories as they let in and held the doors open at many entrances for the rioters/protestors to go into the Capitol. Lastly, just because some defendants pled guilty doesn't mean justice was done. Many of them just didn't have the financial resources to fight the charges versus the UNLIMITED financial resources of the U.S. government. And besides, Republicans/conservative rarely get a fair trial in the Democrat run kangaroo courts of Washington, DC, while Democrat defendants routinely get passes. Furthermore, why won't the corrupt Democrat hack-run Fascist Bureau of Instigation release ALL of the video from the Jan. 6th riot???? What do they have to hide? Why no further word on any investigation of the person who planted pipe bombs? Perhaps another FBI agent in disguise?? I noticed that you pulled one phrase from my original post which mostly had to do with the Democrat run Jan. 6 Committee, which conducted a sham investigation allowing NO cross examination of any "witnesses," releasing the Social Security numbers of many Trump officials and "supporters," so it appears that you are "all in" with such doxing which is a typical leftist tactic. Many of the unjustly released SSN's were those of Republican governors and their families whom were nowhere near the Capitol on Jan. 6th, but that's apparently OK with you too.

Lesson#3-Your party is led by a bunch of woke wacko kooks:
The "Squad" members- anti-Semites
VP Kamala Harris- doesn't even know the difference between North and South Korea
Adam Schiff- world class pathological liar (we're still waiting on that huge "evidence" that Trump colluded with the Russians which Schiff claims he has but NEVER produced and actually NEVER had)
Joe Biden - another world class pathological liar who's not really governing but has an UNELECTED committee of Democrat handlers who are. It's amazing that naive and clueless Democrat voters would elect such a bumbling idiot who doesn't even know where he is half the time, but that's what Democrats do because it's all about party and not country.
I could fill pages and pages on this thread of the woke wacko kooks in the Democrat Party.

And BTW, I am a registered Independent and not a hard core Trump supporter.

I don’t blame them at all. The committee was not looking for the truth. They knew the result they wanted and were only interested in things that supported that conclusion.

Even the Washington Post finally admits the truth…….after SIX years!

Talk about “Disinformation”.

Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters
