    Do you guys think Garland would refuse to bring charges against him because of fear of civil unrest by the MAGA mob?
    No. Because of spinelessness and maybe even sympathy to the movement.
    Uhmm really? 
    Maybe "sympathy to the movement" is a bit cynical. But he's definitely not a bold actor. As SCOTUS justice he may have been OK (certainly better than Trump's picks) but with all the shit going on, I think he's been timid (at best; spineless at worst).

    Nice. Whatcha gonna do Minority Leader? Aiding and abetting an insurrection? In violation of your oath of office? You don't say?

    About 24 hours before the January 6 Capitol attack, Republican member of Congress Barry Loudermilk led an unofficial tour through the House office buildings, passing by the security checkpoints located at the entrances to the tunnels leading towards the Capitol building.

    The tour included a man who took photos of the tunnel entrances and the US Capitol police checkpoints, and then joined thousands of Donald Trump supporters the following day to march on the Capitol from the rally on the Ellipse.

    That person’s activity was captured on security cameras and turned over to the House select committee investigating the insurrection at the Capitol. The panel made the footage publicly available on Wednesday in a letter demanding cooperation in its inquiry from Loudermilk.

    The footage showing the man, and others, stopping to photograph the tunnels and checkpoints bolsters the allegation from Democrats that the tour amounted to a reconnaissance event in preparation for the Capitol attack.

    It also cast doubt on Loudermilk’s previous denials that he led a tour connected in any way to January 6. Loudermilk first denied he led a tour, then said he gave a tour only to families with young children, then said he gave a tour to about 16 people.

    The video evidence additionally challenged a recent letter from the US Capitol police chief Tom Manger, who informed Loudermilk that “we train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance … we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.”

    The tour was also notable because officially, tours were banned at the time due to Covid measures. The only people in the Capitol that day should have been members of Congress and staff, reporters, US Capitol police and official business visitors.

    He’s shook. He can’t believe that he’s before a congressional investigative committee testifying on this particular subject. He never thought that part of his golden years would be spent defending the republic from an attempted coup. Never even in his lifetime. And yet, there he finds himself. Sad times.

    Judge Luttig was the hero today. Basically said there was no way he was going to let Pence make any other decision but also made it clear that Pence had no intention of going that route.

    I think Pence is an absolute douche but I do give him credit for doing the right thing.

    But Pence should have acted way before Jan 6th. He knew tRump was unfit and would not entertain the 25th amendment talk from the cabinet.

    The threshold for being unfit is, and should be, HUGE (YUGE?) though, and it is tossed around way too flippantly these days. I despise Trump as much as the next guy, but no one could have predicted he'd encourage an overthrow. Sure, in hindsight, certain people will claim to have, but I don't buy it.

    Hillary predicted he wouldn’t go quietly / would do anything possible to stay in office. She didn’t accurately predict Jan 6th tho, madam Cleo she ain’t.

    I've said it 100 times and I'll say it again.... 

    How 74 million so-called Americans voted for this dumpster fire in 2020 is beyond me. 

    Aside from all the horrendous things revolving around this man and there are a lot ... hopefully this shit storm also illustrates how awful your system is.  You had these people who were... perfectly fine breaking the law, subverting democracy... and at the end of the day could be like:  "Oh... by the way, could you put me on that pardon list when you get a chance?"   As if they're making reservations for an upscale restaurant. America: Land of the Entitled. 

    If no accountability comes from this... your country is doomed. Another Trump, likely worse, will come around and pick up where he left off... or ...  perhaps... absolutely fucking remarkably so... it will be Trump again.
