January 6th Prosecution vs. Trump - Loving Updates

[ll74]

Never said she lacked authority to disregard for past rules and precedent. She had the authority to do so and she exercised.

Remember when McCarthy said that he withdrew his nominations and would do their own investigations?

Good times

I have little doubt that when the GOP regains power, they’ll form a committee to investigate and there will be similar theatrics. It’s political.

Can't wait to see....I'm sure we'll hear all about Pelosi's role in the Caption Police (she has none) and we'll get to the bottom of the fake electors.(jk)

Ms. Pelosi said she had decided to disqualify Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana because of widespread Democratic dismay about “statements made and actions taken by these members.”

Her decision enraged Republican leaders, who announced that they would boycott the investigation altogether. But Democrats insisted that the pair’s support for the election lies that fueled the deadly attack and their subsequent statements downplaying the violence that occurred that day were disqualifying.

Pelosi gave them the excuse to bow out and they took it. The GOP would prefer to ignore and forget what happened that day

Cassidy Hutchinson.

Any of you "republicans" that think the J6th committee is a partisan hack job need to STFU and listen to Cassidy Hutchison's testimony, especially her introduction.

She is GOP. She has worked for the GOP and was part of the Trump administration. She is not a "never Trumper," she worked in the Whitehouse and was a liaison between the administration and congress. GOP congressman know who she is and where she worked.

Who is stepping up to refute her testimony? Sure you might hear people arguing a few of her points but not her testimony in general - well Trump does . He now claims that someone he had working just down the hall from the oval office is a "hack job" and that he "hardly knew her." GOP congressmen and senators know the truth but few have sufficient integrity to admit it.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I will let you go back and review rules and protocols adopted for past House committees.

*chuckles*

So now it's the ole" I said it, but you need to find the proof of what I said" routine.

Nope, You said she broke/re-wrote rules, go get the evidence backing that up.

Find one where the majority leader rejected the minority party selections if you wish.

As to if she was the first speaker to reject minority party selections, you may be perfectly correct. But show me where that is against the rules.

Also, show me any other select committee where one party tried to seat members who may be directly involved or a witness in the issue they are investigating. I don't care which party did that, just one other instance.

And I also see you suddenly dropped your "partisan claim"...smart move, claiming the committee was founded on a partisan basis just makes the claimant look like a fucking fool.

 

[icanhelp1]

Wow, I agree with you. McCarthy refused to seat any members, after two out of five were rejected and he can correctly say it was a partisan decision.

When you have a pickup game team captains should be allowed to chose who they want not what the other team captain wants them to have. That's not choice, that's tyranny.

We'll see what the SS agents have to say, that's if they're allowed to testify before the commission.

Yeah, no. Participants and accessories are not supposed to be part of the investigation team.

If national governance were like a pickup game, your orangina homeboy wouldn't even be on the sidelines serving water.

please think of better analogies to sooth your ego, I beg.

 

[dmonty]

The hapless Cassidy Hutchinson “testi-lied” before the moonbat panel of Trump haters. Her “testi-lying” was fraught with “I was in the vicinity of a conversation,” “I heard something to the effect of,” “ I overheard,”…..the girl could testify only to hearsay. Her performance was pathetic. She was used and abused, most probably by Liz Cheney to push a fake narrative that they thought would play well for the fictional TV series that's been ongoing in the Nation's Capitol

 

[LukSkyFokker]

The last time you used the retarded "testi-lied" you were proven wrong. Please, do continue.

Here is part of the transcript.

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I was a special assistant to the president and an adviser to — advisor to the chief of staff. The days depended on what the president was doing that day, and that's kind of how my portfolio was reflected.

I had a lot of outreach with members of Congress, senior cabinet — cabinet officials. You would work on — I would work on policy issues with relevant internal components and members on the Hill, as well as security protocol at the White House complex for Mr. Meadows and the president.

BENNIE THOMPSON: And then you received another promotion in March 2020. At that time, you became the principal aide to the new White House Chief of staff Mark Meadows. Is that right?

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: That's correct sir.

BENNIE THOMPSON: What did a typical day look like for you in your work with Mr. Meadows?

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: It varied with what was going on. We spent a lot of time on the Hill. I spent time on the Hill independently, too, as I was his liaison for Capitol Hill. We did a lot of Presidential travel engagements, but mostly I was there to serve what the Chief of Staff needed. And a lot of times what the Chief of staff needed was a reflection of what the President's schedule was detailed to do that day.

BENNIE THOMPSON: So is it fair to say that you spoke regularly in your position, both with members of Congress and with senior members of the Trump administration?

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: That's correct. That's a fair assessment sir.

BENNIE THOMPSON: And would you say that in your work with Mr. Meadows, you were typically in contact with him and others in the White House throughout the day?

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: That's correct sir. Mr. Meadows and I were in contact almost — pretty much throughout every day consistently.

Was she lying? If so, then Mark Meadows needs to testify.

Each select committee has its own rules. You can figure out how to use Google. The rules for J6 member selection are nearly identical to the rules for Benghazi and other select comm

Each select committee has its own rules. You can figure out how to use Google. I suggest looking at the rules for Benghazi since it was relatively recent, and compare it to the member selection rules for J6. You’ll see they’re nearly identical. Pelosi rejected Jordan and Banks Banks and Jordan because they criticized the select committee's investigation, and because they opposed certification of the 2020 election. Speaker Boehner did not reject Adam Schiff even though he vociferously criticized the Benghazi committee’s legitimacy. Boehner was ok with an adversarial member. Pelosi is not. Of course this is partisan politics. No objective observer can seriously claim it’s anything other than that.

Is there anything keeping them from testifying besides executive privelage?

 

[KeithD]

Is there anything keeping them from testifying besides executive privelage?

Criminal guilt.

Beyond that executive privilege has no application for most of them and for nothing of any of them when the question is criminal activity.

 

[butters]

guilt, desperation to keep their cushy jobs, & fear of reprisals from the rabid maga base at the sideways prompting of trump

 

[rockcasbah]

Or… exercise of every American’s constitutional right to say nothing.

Are you referring to all of Trump's staff who are pleading the 5th?

Ah yes, the solace of the guilty.

Just wanna understand where you’re coming from. Are you saying Ornato is guilty of something? Puts his “cushy job” ahead of country? One of Trump’s harshest critics who has spent significant time around Ornato just described him as “highly professional” to CBS news. Said “he performed his duties not in any partisan manner.”

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Ah yes, the solace of the guilty.

"If I say nothing, my silence will be acknowledged as righteous rebellion in the name of truth!"
