[Botany]

Feel good thread! No wonder TFG is shittin' kittens and is threatening to sue the White House to keep
the records of what he was doing secret.

1. There are some good attorneys on this committee

[Botany]

2. I believe Adam Schiff was a U.S. Attorney @ one time.

And the rest of the Committee members are pretty impressive too.

[fwvinson]

3. So, when the hell is this shit going to happen?

[StarfishSaver]

5. What "shit" are you expecting to happen?

[Budi]

6. It is happening. Subpoenas are prepared & launched

[toasty]

8. Not Fast Enough

Every day the TFG's attacks on American democracy accelerate. Every day his base of crazies become more and more emboldened. At this point, I'm all for cuffing him and stuffing in a cell at Guantanamo to mitigate the fallout of his lies.

The dots have been connected. Act on it.

[Hekate]

10. You'd be happy if this "legal process" was applied to thee & me? Just let random members of the...

… public “connect the dots”?

[toasty]

13. "legal process"

Well who'd know, especially given that Merrick Garland seems to be AWOL.

[Hekate]

14. What do you think his job is? And how do you "know" he's AWOL? I await your analysis.

[toasty]

15. I don't "know"

I believe I used "seems". And you know, appearances are everything. That's why trump is who he is....that being a snake in the grass criminal and there's plenty of evidence to support that. Nine months after a bloody insurrection attempt and trump is still free to pollute American airwaves and interwebs with his bombastic lies.... well, things are NOT moving fast enough for my liking. If you're satisfied with the progress, well then good for you. Go have yourself some cake.

Like many I've read here.... I don't have much faith trump will ever be held accountable.

I have zero faith in Garland's DOJ. ZERO

It has become tragically clear that the laws in place for common people do not apply to the wealthy. It needs fixing, and fast.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. Luckily it doesn't

matter if you have faith in Garland and the DOJ. Biden does and that’s the opinion that matters, not random DU posters.

[Elessar Zappa]

19. And it tastes great!

[toasty]

17. PS...

I enjoyed your post Mon Sep 6, 2021, 07:30 PM

Edit: misplaced....meant for Hekate

[Hekate]

20. You just replied to yourself

[George II]

21. Attorneys General don't normally hold daily press briefings to detail their investigations.

[Hekate]

12. What exactly? They appear to be busy.

[Budi]

4. Speaker Pelosi stood her ground against McCarthy & launched a missle back on him

Bravo!! What an excellent team.

[Metro135]

7. This committee better start kicking some ass soon

Because of we lose the House next fall - a distinct possibility - it's ALL OVER.

[DanieRains]

9. I Think That Is The Plan

I trust Nancy on this at least a little.

[Botany]

11. Cheney, reportedly told Jim Jordan 'you fucking did this' during Jan. 6 riot

[Hekate]

22. If we lose the House, that's on the D voters who can't be bothered to get off their asses ...

… and vote.

I remember all too well how Obama was “shellacked” in the midterms — here at DU there was a constant stream of whining from people who had not gotten their pony, and I wondered how that translated into the general public, especially given how many Dems seem to need the excitement of a presidential campaign to get motivated.

[StarfishSaver]

23. Thank you

I am so sick of these "if you don't do what we want you to do when we want you to do it, you're gonna lose" threats.

And not just because the notion that Trump and the Republicans are so awful that Democrats must stomp them into the ground immediately, but if they don't these folks will just let Republicans take over, is stupid as hell.
