CNN Exclusive: Jan 6 investigators believe Nov. 4 text pushing 'strategy' to undermine election came from Rick Perry
CNN ^ | 17 December 2021 | Jake Tapper and Jamie Gangel, CNN

Washington (CNN)Members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol believe that former Texas Governor and Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was the author of a text message sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows the day after the 2020 election pushing an "AGRESSIVE (sic) STRATEGY" ...

...The text was first presented publicly on the House floor Tuesday night by Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, and reads: "HERE's an AGRESSIVE (sic) STRATEGY: Why can t (sic) the states of GA NC PENN and other R controlled state houses declare this is BS (where conflicts and election not called that night) and just send their own electors to vote and have it go to the SCOTUS." Raskin cited the text in the debate over holding Meadows in criminal contempt of Congress, using it as an example of evidence that needed further explanation from Meadows, which the former chief of staff is refusing to provide. "How did this text influence the planning of Mark Meadows and Donald Trump to try to destroy the lawful electoral college majority that had been established by the people of the United States and the states for Joe Biden," Raskin asked. "Those are the kinds of questions that we have a right to ask Mark Meadows."...

THis is the mindset of the rabid dems: any challenge or discussion of challenge of obvious and flagrant wonky election results is 'planning to destroy the lawful electoral college'

(the same electoral college that is pulling funny business with their state pacts to vote as blocs to diminish influence of the electoral college and promote urban controlled 'popular vote', as evidenced in this article going back to 2006: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/elj.2006.5.384)

Biden obvious had and still has severe dementia.

The state legislatures had a duty replace Biden electors.

The Founding Fathers made last minute changes of electors possible because they knew the ability might be needed.

See ... It’s like this. If the Democrats don’t like something that doesn’t go their way, they can actually threaten to kill. If the Republicans don’t like something that doesn’t go their way, the Democrats can actually threaten to kill.

At least they’re consistent.

So, again, why are PRIVATE text messages being released to the press and the public before the committee has completed its investigation and come to a conclusion?

Because this isn’t about truth finding - this is a political fishing expedition to try Trump for anything and everything to stop him from running in 2024.

And, AGAIN, the committee is a mockery of the Constitution and our Republic. They have already lied as part of the investigation and falsified evidence. The committee should be immediately disbanded.

You’re right. If things aren’t going their way, the Dems change the rules.

No free speech. No dissent.

This is a despotic totalitarian government.

Even the Democrats I know now hate the so-called “Biden Administration.”

They realize this crap their party has been up to for the past couple of years is emphatically NOT what they signed up for.

And not a one of them is making fun of Donald Trump anymore.

Good for Rick Perry. I always thought he was a RINO.

Rick has the usual GOP big-government lust, but he definitely has his moments.

Seriously - I’m failing to see a problem and nothing that shouldn’t have been discussed considering the fraudulent voting.

Lez is barking up the wrong tree again that silly bitch 🐩

Yeah, a number of people I work with were all Trump haters.

They’re kicking themselves hard now. They’re don’t want to admit it but they know they screwed up by voting for Biden.

I’m more of a mind to ask CNN why aren’t they at the forefront of doing exclusives and extensive investigating and reporting on the pedophiles, sex perverts and other sexual deviants they have within its ranks. More concerned at that than I am of made up revenge stuff for January 6.
