YoBuckStopsHere“Just Say That the Election Was Corrupt, and Leave the Rest to Me”: In Georgia, Donald Trump Appears Beyond F--ked
ZombiepirateThe full quote is much more enlightening IMO:
What I’m asking you to do is to say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.’
ATQFrankly, I’m surprised that the current slate of indictments haven’t extended to MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, and the rest of their traitor caucus compatriots.
I think it would be very hard to prosecute, because the Constitution gives direct protection to Members of Congress who are discussing matters at the Capitol on their official capacity, in the Speech and Debate clause. And since validating the Electoral College count is expressly spelled out in the Constitution as a thing Congress does, it will be hard to argue that the Speech and Debate Clause doesn’t apply.
MTG passage out pictures of Hunter’s penis in Congress, after all, and is not likely to face any repercussions at all. (If she does, it will be because she tweeted it, too.,…)
I think it all really depends on what you have evidence they said, saw and knew.
Yeah, I agree it will be impossible to convict a congressional rep for voting against certification. BUT if you have evidence that person was attending meetings where a criminal conspiracy was taking place and especially if you have evidence they were directed to stall, and especially if they knew what was to happen after the vote failed… Then idk maybe they can be charged as part of a conspiracy. But just voting NO on it? I don’t think that’s criminal in and of itself.
Or took people on tours so they knew where to go when they broke into one of our biggest buildings of power and tried to murder at least our vice president.
