Things seem to be unfolding rather quickly. Former White House aides and advisors are scrambling to cover themselves as they receive subpoenas to appear and produce documents.
It’s rare when lawyers — as opposed to their clients — take the Fifth Amendment. But Jeffrey Clark, the former Justice Department lawyer who reportedly tried to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election, is now claiming the privilege against self-incrimination to avoid testifying before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He has just been joined in that posture by one of Trump’s main outside legal advisers, John Eastman.
The lawsuit comes after the committee signaled it would pursue a criminal contempt referral against Meadows because of his refusal to sit for a deposition in the investigation into the Capitol riot. Meadows alleges that the subpoenas are "overly broad and unduly burdensome," while claiming that the committee "lacks lawful authority to seek and to obtain" the information requested.
And apparently Mark Meadows had a power point outlining how to overturn election results.
The 38-page presentation, entitled "Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 Jan," is dated one day before the Capitol riot. It's believed to have been submitted by Meadows after he was subpoenaed by the panel in connection with the insurrection.
Maybe not in fairyland but in the real world they do. Democrats are going to lose big this November. Lets see how much dems show interest in hearings about the Biden family and their corruption and when reps continue the 1/6 hearings and and look at all the data.

In other words, you made it up. Your fundament still seems to be in fine working order. Your gain, gastroenterology’s loss.
less than 3-4% of the country have been following the hearings. A total nothing burger. Those that participated in the mostly peaceful exercise are being rounded up or investigated. The most peaceful insurrection in human history.
Cite your source. Otherwise it’s just a made up stat.
averaging 11.6 million viewers most over 70 years of age. Probably old folks homes have the TV on CNN all day like the airport used to force viewers to watch.
...Republican views on Donald Trump have darkened somewhat over six weeks of televised congressional hearings on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by the former president's supporters, a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Thursday showed.
The two-day poll, finished hours before a scheduled eighth hearing of the congressional probe, showed that 40% percent of Republicans now believe Trump is at least partly to blame for the deadly riot, up from 33% in a poll conducted six weeks ago....
But six weeks of televised hearings have focused on the former leader's pressure on his vice president to help overturn his election defeat, as well as Trump's dismissal of close advisers questioning his false allegations of massive voter fraud.
Now, one third of Republican respondents think Trump should not run for president again in 2024, up from a quarter who held that view in early June when the bipartisan congressional probe began broadcasting hearings. Most respondents in the poll said they had followed the hearings at least a little, with only one in four saying they didn't hear anything about them....
This is a point I can't understand after being glued to the TV for 16 hours watching January 6th unfold and all the violence that was viewed by my own eyes... along with watching the January 6th committee hearings.

..Some 57% of Republican respondents said they believed most of the protesters at the Jan. 6 riot were peaceful and law-abiding, a share essentially unchanged from early June. Four people died on the day of the attack, at least 140 police were assaulted, and one Capitol Police officer who fought against the rioters died the next day

We have Desantis in the bullpen so we don’t care. January 6th partisan kangaroo court that no one cares about. “It’s the economy stupid”. I remember someone saying that once.
