Maybe she’s a Giants fan.

Nah, couldn’t be. She actually hit something.

He needs serious prison time, but mental health treatment and a legit shot at rehabilitation and to teach others a lesson if he changes his ways.

Some of you point to the 'gallows' at the Capitol riot as evidence the riot was an armed insurrection. Call it a threat, call it an ugly symbol, call it a prop, call it what you like. But it wasn't a real gallows. https://t.co/JKZuLjVacl https://t.co/1cBZq9XacO https://t.co/EN08epVxJi

Honestly, he’s the embodiment of a person who regretted the things they did from what I’ve seen of the transcripts.
Most of it is just him admitting everything and crying.

He’s right about 1776, but the folks then were under no illusion that they wouldn’t swing if they failed.

“Give me liberty or give me death,” wasn’t a slogan, but more a statement of fact.

Meanwhile these guys are comparing wearing a mask to Auschwitz.

He regrets that he had but one whimper to give for his anti-country.

It’s almost like I had a crystal ball.

Newsweek – 16 Oct 21

Ted Lieu lashes out after DOJ pushes back against Biden's advice to prosecute...

Lieu reintroduced the Inherent Contempt Power Act in April, which would enable Congress to independently enforce subpoenas.

Representative Ted Lieu lashed out on Saturday after the Department of Justice(DOJ) declined to follow President Joe Biden’s advice to prosecute Trump political adviser Steven Bannon and others who defy subpoenas from the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot.

Gordon_Cameron · 2021-10-17T16:22:06.213Z

I love my rep.

Calelari · 2021-10-17T16:44:08.660Z

I mean, I expect the end result will be what you’re implying, but (paraphrase) “we’ll make our own decision without White House input” is not the same as “we will decline to prosecute these referrals”.

Thrag · 2021-10-17T17:26:41.890Z

The way they phrased that it sounds like some final decision. Thanks for the heart attack Newsweek.

“Former President Trump abused the office of the presidency and attempted to subvert a peaceful transfer of power,” Biden spokesman Mike Gwin says. “The former president's actions represented a unique – & existential – threat to our democracy that can't be swept under the rug..”

“…As President Biden determined, the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield information that reflects a clear and apparent effort to subvert the Constitution itself."

Good news for the Jan. 6 Committee: The Trump executive privilege lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has expressed horror about the Jan. 6 attack and extended sentences beyond what prosecutors have asked for in a couple cases.
