The Jan. 6 committee has referred former President Trump for criminal prosecution, including acting to incite, assist or aid or comfort an insurrection. Four Republican House members have also been referred to the House Ethics Committee for failing to comply with subpoenas. Some believe nothing will come of this? What do you think? Is justice finally being served or is this a witch hunt?
Let’s talk about it…
Thomas Mc: “Lol Ethics in Washington? Nothing will happen and Americans don’t care about facts or evidence they just care about how it makes their beliefs feel. In short, we are truly on the other side of our decline.”
Todd Forbes: “Witch hunt! They are obsessed with Trump! Ask yourself-why? Could it be that he threatens to expose them? Or that he can’t be bought? Or controlled? That he might get others to see the swamp for what it is? If he wasn’t, then they wouldn’t care!”
James Johnson: “Just like always, no proof of any wrongdoing by Trump.”
Steve Story: “BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH… ANOTHER NOTHING BURGER.”
Lori AV: “Donald Trump gave a voice to the ugliest part of our society and instead of condemning his actions, the Republican Party embraced it all. The chaos and disarray you’re witnessing is what the Republican Party chose for themselves.”
Greg Dunn: “DOJ won’t take this to trial. Too much comes out in open court, and an agency can’t plead the fifth.”
Bob Eidukot: “What about criminal charges against the Dems for all these witch hunts?”
Steven Beall: “The referrals are unconstitutional. Article 1 specifically limits the power of Congress through legislative actions only. The referrals are not a legislative action by naming President Trump and other individual(s) and referring them to the Justice Department. It’s not legislative and it tramples on the authority of the executive branch. I would not be surprised to see an emergency court order to stop them. Pelosi knows this, but damn the constitution. Orange man is a danger to the Democratic Party, and she can’t have President Trump, who is very popular in the Republican Party, become the next President. This is why the Democratic Party is neo-Marxist Fascist. They know it’s unconstitutional but do it anyway. Damn the constitution.”
Tom Kevlock: “I highly doubt the DOJ is corrupt enough to pursue these ridiculous charges. If they are… it’s over. We’re done. It’ll be time to cast off the government.”
Diane Mundell: “Let’s see the tax returns for every member in Congress and Senate for them right now if you want to see Trump’s tax returns we the people want to see everybody else’s.”
Beth Brockhoff: “One sided, sham show continues.”
Earl Edwards: “Yup, they had to rush this, since the committee is going to dissolve after January. I welcome a trial, as it will at least allow for a fair rebuttal. As for the rest, it is only to distract the libtards from the real problems in this country.”
Drew Beaman: “Brought to you by; Distraction, Division, Propaganda, Misinformation, With Lies and Corruption.”
Rob Ford: “The government seems to live in a world of make believe. If they had anything, they would have already had him, after years of trying to get him on something. At this point, they are trying to make up charges, like they do everyday against people who they don’t agree with, or they feel is a threat to the ones who are really in charge.”
Kevin McAllister: “Good. He’ll get a real trial now.”
David Gerald Evans: “I’m pretty sure everyone knew this over a year ago, the committee hearing was meaningless, and still is. All a propaganda show to deflect from all the other crises going on. This will be proven if he is not charged.”
Marie Simpson: “LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!”
Bobbie Billy: “Donald Trump Exposed the Corruption going on in the Congress & Senate! That’s why they’re Scared of Trump! Drain the Swamp! Trump 2024!”
Michael Bub: “This is the best thing that could happen. I can’t wait to see President Trump get his day in Court to expose every one of these dirty crooks. Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Schiff, all of them. Everything coming out from Twitter; get the popcorn ready.”
Christopher Alan: “This witch hunt is hilarious. Trump is exposing how corrupt and desperate the democrats are.”
Tandy Laster: “Biden’s entire family is as corrupt as it comes. BIDEN IN HANDCUFFS and stop the witch hunt on Trump. Just another political game.”
Eric Turner: “Run again, lose again!”
Amanda Brown: “PUT THAT TREASONOUS ORANGE POS IN PRISON!”
Edwald Garcia: “Mr.Tiny sausage fingers is going to jail this time, and there’s nothing any of you brainwashed members of the orange liars cult can do about it. Delicious!”
Ron Floyd: “Trump for prison 2024, let’s Make America Great Again.”
Kristina Williams-Horner: “If We do not hold him and others accountable for their horrible crimes against our country, against our Democracy, against our constitution, against all that we stand for as the United States of America, it will happen again!!”
The aging baby boomer contingent speaks: This reminds me of the political churn during the the Viet Nam War. Brought down three presidents if you count JFK. And nearly 70000 young Americans and a million Asians. An untold number of Americans had their civil rights trampled when they protested the carnage. Whether or not ex president Trump goes on trial, I have to predict to the millennials , it’s gonna get worse. It will take more intestinal fortitude and grit to get through this than so far exhibited by young Texans who failed to turn out to vote in droves recently. Do you know who your elected representatives are? They got phones and staff waiting to pick up and hear what voters think. I doubt they read La Prensa because no one mentions their names. Only the name of a disgraced former president who is little more than a distraction from the ongoing legislative circus. Here are my elected officials: Congressman Castro who has no serious opposition on the horizon. Senators Cruz and Cornyn who look they are solid for the foreseeable future and really need to have their cages rattled. At the statehouse, Sen. Menendez is too busy serving the road builders to think much about civil rights of ex presidents. I have no idea what my county commissioner Calvert is doing beyond creating a duplicate public health authority for the metro area. And right up at the state rights top, Gov Abbotts mind seems to be mostly on the border between the US and Mesoamerica while failing to acknowledge that his arch enemy President Biden is mostly going along with Trumpian initiatives in that long running struggle against human flotsam and left wing riffraff eternally washing up on our southern shores.
