“Insurrection” requires an armed opponent, otherwise it is just a protest.

And

You cant investigate what didn’t happen.

Yes, that appears to be the next step.

Collins is about as good we could get from Maine. So I would give her a qualified pass. The rest should go!

It is LONG PAST TIME to continue to just blindly vote party line, it is time to SKIP over the line with the RINO on the damn thing, it is WAY PAST TIME to rid ourselves of these trans republicans!! We need to work like hell to replace them with STRONG senate candidates from other states like John James in MI.!! If we can’t win Maine then let the damn Dem have the seat and throw EVERY small dollar donation at candidates from other states to replace the loss of these backstabbing RINOS!!

The Republicans are involved in this coverup. Shoot down the commission and get blamed for obstruction.

January 6th was a frat party that got co-opted by Antifa and the social media conglomerate arm of the globalist Uniparty. They wanted Trump supporters to attack congresscritters to justify draconian measures against non-Communists. They cannot let that truth out.

Fencing, razor wire, National Guard, etc. all part of 3rd world regimes.

themidnightskulker :" Have thy been arraigned yet? Honest question.
Have thy been arraigned yet? Honest question."

Some have been arraigned, although few and far between as the process is slow.
The Feds have had to reorganized the charges, ever since one of the charging photographs (of Wolf man) included a doctored photo (sloppiness error),
and thus the documentation for (the Wolf man) photograph that was already entered into the court as evidence, needed to be changed.
The process of arraignment had been stalled, but is now moving forward.
Another FReeper provided a Federal hot link to the arraignment and charging documents over a month ago for a current status report .
Perhaps someone else could recall the Fed source document hot link ??

“and former President Trump’s role in it behind them,”

Trump was not key to what happened, his role was minimal compared to pelosi and many Dems and likely Rinos too.

I think they want to squash it because it would show more about them and their wrong doing’s than anything else.

Make NO mistake. McConnell would love nothing more than to have this commission. But he isn’t going to let Nancy Pelosi drive the bus. I bet you anything that when they return from recess Shoemah and Turtle will sit down and come up with a bipartisan hang Trump and his supporters commission. Bank on it.

No he won’t. He doesn’t want to give the Dems that kind of platform heading into the midterms. 0% chance.

I am convinced that most of the trouble makers there were ANTFIA plants. A few hot heads poking already angry people can turn a peaceful gathering into a lynch mob. Jan 6 was the worse thing that could ever happen for our cause. All it did was paint the whole movement as filled with unstable people. The Democrats will use this to try and go after people who disagree. Its already happening.

It certainly is. Already some of those Jan. 6 patriots are cooling their heels in solitary confinement — simply for being present at the rally.

Welcome to the new America. Illegals are released and people who may not have done anything wrong held in prison. We are headed to a very dark place.

Quote: “No he won’t. He doesn’t want to give the Dems that kind of platform heading into the midterms. 0% chance.”

That would make sense. BUT, Mitch does want to take Trump out. He wants his cake and to eat it too. He would like the commission not to be used as a GOP battering ram, but would like it as a Trump battering ram. If he can get together with Shoemah and make that work, in my opinion he will.

Fear not,Rat Party Headquarters,the criminal indictments of a certain Donald J Trump are just around the corner. But then you knew that...they’re coming as the result of your order.

Collins is the very best you’re gonna get from Maine.It’s just about the filthiest of the filthy Rat Party cesspools among the 50 states.
