It was nice of the Stop the Steal leaders, apparently (but not surprisingly) including Paul Gosar, to do their organizing via Twitter DMs. Hopefully the FBI got those records before Elmo took over.

Oh boy is Mike Roman going into @JasonLeopold's scrapbook of people who've been "directed" to do things.
When asked if he interacted with the former US Attorney for SDNY AFTER the election, Roman decided he should invoke the Fifth (note, he ALSO did not turn over all docs, invoking the Fifth, which is not how it's supposed to work).

It's important to remember that the partisan makeup of the #January6thCommittee was entirely decided by republicans. They were offered to be equal partners with the same format of the 9/11 committee, but they declined.

They chose not to participate (other than a few that defied their party) because they WANTED it to be viewed as partisan. They knew what Trump did was unlawful and they wanted to provide political cover for him anyway.

The NYTimes today published a piece showing that this newly elected GOP Congressman from NY fabricated most of the life story he told on the campaign trail. The fact that this statement on his behalf ends with a fake Churchill quote is just...I mean come on now...if I wrote it in a piece of fiction you'd give me a stern talking to about how hamfisted that detail was.
