  1. Now with Republican majority in the house they should obtain Pelosi emails leading up to 1/6/2021 to see what she knew and when she first knew it. They should also add the former WH Press Secretaries emails who are contributors to CNN. Anyone questioning just where in the Consitution does Congress have the implied or express authority to make criminal referrals on a former President also now a runing candidate? They didn't even bother to amend the Consitution and vote on it. It was just thru Pelosi who put the highly partisan J6 Committee to get such unconsitutional referral to happen and after Pelosi resigned. Certaintly the DOJ Special Counsel should see thru such highly unconsitutional partisan eforts. Waste of time and money that Republicans in house majority will no doubt now hold them accountable for.

  2. Does this pass yalls sniff test?? You really think that trump was part of an insurrection? Y’all save some koolaid for the rest of us cuz that stuff got you guys all kinds of faded. How many times can they pursue one man… with every institution that exists in their pocket and fail???? How many times before you people will take a long hard look in the mirror… please tell me.

  3. Nevermind that it's unprecedented that a former president has never been indicted. No former president has ever behaved the way Trump did. It's not about who he is. It's about what he did; he broke laws. If law truly is not systemically biased, the Trumps and their cronies will do jail time.

  4. Lucifer satan devil old serpant.

  5. Normally elections, as in the people, would decide who is worthy or not to hold office. To have to make a bill tells me they are scared of 'the people'. But I guess I can see why, they claim the people actually put our current moron in chief into office.

  6. IF 14.5 SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD DO THIS THEN WHERE HAS CONGRESS BEEN????????
    ON VACATION????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
    WTF???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  7. TALK TALK TALK FIDDLE FIDDLE FIDDLE BURN BURN BURN. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY OF GUTLESS WONDERS. DEMS, AND DOJ, AND STATE AGS, FIDDLE WHILE AMERICA BURNS. LONG PAST TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE AT DOJ TO GET RID OF THE TRUMPLICANS GUMMING UP THE PLACE. IF GARLAND AND HIS DOJ, AND IF THE STATES AND THEIR AGS, HAVEN'T THE COURAGE IT TAKES TO INDICT TRUMP AND HIS CULT NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, THEN THE AMERICA I HAVE DEFENDED AND THAT I HAVE SPENT 76 YEARS TRUSTING WITH MY LIFE, IS DEAD. THUS REALIZING THE BEN FRANKLIN WORRY: "CAN YOU KEEP IT?" IF YOU DO NOT GROW SOME SPINE RIGHT NOW, THEN THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL BELL WILL BE TOLLING ITS DIRGE FOR AMERICA, "GONE GONE GONE GONE GONE GONE." No person is above the law until YOU FAIL to enforce the law.

  8. ANYONE WHO STILL RIDES INTO OFFICE CLAIMING FRAUD 2020 SHOULD BE OUT.

  15. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

  16. What I want to know is is going to pay for the seven people who died on that day. Some one has to be held accountable.

  17. I've got the perfect plan of preventing Trump from ever running for office again.
    LOCK HIM UP !!!

  18. woketards have beaten this dead horse to a bloody pulp but it still is going nowhere

  19. Wake up DOj. Traitors to America have no rights.

  20. 34 republicans are guilty of sedition and treason. Lock them up

  21. all the killings, robbing,rioting,burning with blm,the democrats need to be held accountable.hopefully with republicans in the house, the democrats get prosecuted.a real take over of the white house doesn't happen with out guns.some people don't know the real facts about the white house and you can't go on the media.they are run by democrats.i used to think i was a democrat,but they some messed up people,alot of them are because of lies and disinformation they put out.

  22. all politicians should receive jail sentences equal to their time in office

  23. Such a pity he can't be barred from the US.

  24. Jesus they're still on this and Trumps still walking around, its like they still have no reason to prosecute him.

  25. Just another way to blow more tax dollars.

  26. You should propose a bill that prevents Trump from leaving the prison

  27. To the D.O.J., you were given a huge CHRISTMAS PRSENT from the J6 Committee. They saved you hundreds and hundreds of hours of work, now DO YOUR JOB AND INDICT TRUMP, AND ALL OTHERS INVOLVED. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

  28. Fantastic job January 6th Committee! You are heroes, patriots, and true Americans. There are millions of Americans out there who are greatful for your service. You have represented your country, the American people, and your families well. God bless you all.

  29. 🤣 @ Trump worried about the DOJ , His problem is with the Suadi prince and what may happen to Ivanka and Jarrod who has 2 billion of the Suadi's money. Trump was counting on winning that election for life or death possibly?

  30. Lock Frump up for his remaining days! Period ‼️😡
