January 6th Committee to hold Public hearings all February, Tuesday to Friday, in Primetime, 8pm. Get your popcorn ready.
But, but HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP, or something. This is getting fun to watch. I’m sure his die hard supporters will continue the mental gymnastics to defend Trump and company, but he seems to finally be slowly sinking and the rats are jumping off the ship.

Rethuglicans are splintering as the DOJ starts looking into the self incriminating traitors who formulated and exicuted the fraudulent "Electors" scam. Even Roger Stone is whining about Stephen Miller!
MAGAts are metamorphisings into mutant blowflies!

(Yes I can't spell)

Barr was fine with stealing the election, was a violent coup one step too far for him and that's why he resigned? He's a traitor to this country so I don't care if he changed his mind at the last minute, he didn't warn anyone so fuck him, lock him up with the rest of the cowards.

Rep. Comer to Newsmax: Vital to Investigate Hunter Biden Over Cobalt Deal
Rep. James Comer, the leading Republican on the House Oversight Committee, told Newsmax on Friday that it is vitally important that the National Archives release any information about Hunter Biden's alleged involvement in the sale of an African cobalt mine to a Chinese company in 2016, as the matter is one of vital national security.

"Hunter Biden, in one of his consulting firms, worked with China to be able to navigate a sale that never should have happened, a sale from an Arizona-owned company for that mine's cobalt in the Congo," the Kentucky lawmaker said in a panel discussion on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," about President Joe Biden's son.

"Hunter Biden just made the sale without any restrictions or any hesitation or any problem from the federal government," said Comer. "China is a threat to our national security, and at this time, the Obama administration was pushing more electric vehicles [and] cobalt is an essential component of making batteries for electric vehicles."

Last month, The New York Times reported the president's son was a part-owner in an investment firm involved in a Chinese conglomerate's $3.8 billion buyout of one of the world's largest cobalt deposits, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The sale makes the United States "even more dependent on China," and that means a "national security threat to the United States," Comer told Newsmax.

It also means that "Hunter Biden is a national security threat," said Comer.

"We want to preserve the documents so that when we have subpoena power, Hunter Biden can come before the House Republicans and explain exactly what happened," said Comer, noting a probe could happen in January 2023, "when the House flips and we can finally provide some type of oversight for the Biden administration."

Comer said Republicans on the committee want to know why the Obama Administration didn't intervene to stop the sale.

"We'll try to communicate with people from the Obama administration, but it just seems like any time Hunter Biden's involved in some money-making scheme, whether it's with the current Biden administration or the former Obama-Biden administration, he just gets a free path," said Comer. "We believe some of the artwork that he sold ended up in China. We're still working on that, but back to this cobalt.

But the Biden administration won't hold China accountable for the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic let alone for buying up companies to put the United States at an economic disadvantage, said Comer.

Jan. 6 committee spoke to Bill Barr about plan to seize voting machines
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on Sunday said the panel has spoken to former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr regarding a draft of an executive order by the Trump administration that would have deployed the National Guard to seize voting machines.
Last week, Politico published a draft of the order that would have directed national defense forces to seize voting machines. The order was never issued and the Jan. 6 committee had declined to comment on the documents at the time.
Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," Thompson was asked by host Margaret Brennan if the panel intended on speaking with Barr regarding the drafted order.

"Well, yes we do. To be honest with you, we've had conversations with the former attorney general already," said Thompson.
"We've talked with Department of Defense individuals. We are concerned that our military was part of this big lie on promoting that the election was false," he said. "So if you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it's a discussion, the public needs to know."

Brennan asked Thompson on whether the Jan. 6 panel had evidence that someone in the U.S. military was working on this potential plan of seizing voting machines.
"We have information that between the Department of Justice, a plan was put forward to potentially seize voting machines in the country and utilize Department of Defense assets to make that happen," Thompson said,
He clarified that there did not appear to have ever been an operational plan in place, but there was "reason enough to believe that it was being proposed."

What is this the new HunterGhazi? Im not sure what that has to do with the Republican insurrection other than something they will try to pretend is a reality to distract from them trying like hell to cheat Americans out of their ability to vote.

Yup, That is exactly what this is. Trump has always done exactly this tactic of distraction and obfuscation when questioned on his own misdeeds.
His little army of political servants pull this all the time too. Hunter is a boogeyman to the right.
It would be more amusing if it didn’t play so well with the right wing base. They will be foaming at the mouth over this horseshit and continue claiming January 6th was a bunch of peaceful protesters.

That will get a response.

Trump - "We were seizing the machines to prove the election was stolen!"








A fun read. And furthermore,

The Salon article they refer to:


The committee's chief said they want to wrap it up by early summer. This give the DOJ plenty time to review evidence and testimony before announcing its own investigations that can continue regardless who wins the elections for congress in November. Biden's administration will have another two years to do the legal heavy lifting before levying charges and scheduling court hearings for indictments. That work in the DOJ is already underway.

Why not? We pretty much know most of the story already, the press has been well informed and next come the public hearings to nail down public testimony. Then interim reports and then a final report with criminal referrals to the DOJ along the way and at the end. The hot potato will be in Garland's hands then, but the leader of the criminal gang should have his head chopped off in NY by then and be in custody anyway. Garland will do Donald while he's already in prison, muzzled and perhaps even broke.

Like ancient warriors, when the King or chief of one side was slain, they lost heart and purpose and fled the field. I figure Donald is gonna cause a lot of chaos inside the GOP on his way down, ya don't wanna give Mitch too much time to pick up the pieces before 2022.

ATLANTA (AP) — Judges have approved a request for a special grand jury by the Georgia prosecutor who’s investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others broke the law by trying to pressure Georgia officials to throw out Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis last week sent a letter to county superior court Chief Judge Christopher Brasher asking him to impanel a special grand jury. Brasher issued an order Monday saying the request was considered and approved by a majority of the superior court judges.

The special grand jury is to be seated May 2 for a period of up to a year, Brasher’s order says. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney is assigned to supervise and assist the special grand jury.

Willis wrote in her letter to Brasher that her office “has received information indicating a reasonable probability that the State of Georgia’s administration of elections in 2020, including the State’s election of the President of the United States, was subject to possible criminal disruptions.” She said her office has “opened an investigation into any coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections in this state.”

JOE BIDEN
The special grand jury “shall be authorized to investigate any and all facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to alleged violations of the laws of the State of Georgia, as set forth in the request of the District Attorney,” the order says.

Willis has declined to speak about the specifics of her investigation, but in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month she confirmed that its scope includes — but is not limited to — a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a November 2020 phone callbetween U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.

In a statement last week, Trump called his call to Raffensperger “perfect” and said he did not say anything wrong. Graham has also denied any wrongdoing.

Special grand juries, which are not used often in Georgia, can help in the investigation of complex matters. They do not have the power to return an indictment but can make recommendations to prosecutors on criminal prosecutions.

Willis wrote in her letter that the special grand jury is needed because it can serve for longer than a normal grand jury term, which is two months in Fulton County. It also would be able to focus on this investigation alone, allowing it to focus on the complex facts and circumstances. And having a special grand jury would mean the regular seated grand jury would not have to deal with this investigation in addition to their regular duties, Willis wrote.

Willis’ investigation became public last February when she sent letters to top elected officials in Georgia instructing them to preserve any records related to the general election, particularly any evidence of attempts to influence election officials. The probe includes “potential violations of Georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local government bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election’s administration,” the letters said.
