Watch at 14 seconds for that moment when @CapehartJ realizes the answer to his question if the January 6 committee has evidence on members of Congress directly involved in aiding & abetting insurrectionists, wasn’t the answer he was expecting.🔥

1. Good keep it going

The TRUTH WILL PREVAIL and with TRUTH comes JUSTICE!



USA USA USA

[Hoyt]

2. Unfortunately, Rep Thompson also said they haven't "connected the dots" as to whether the tours were

just the usual/common tours congresspeople give to constituents when they come to Washington or something nefarious.

Until they do that, we aren't getting anywhere.

[barbtries]

4. plausible deniability.

i'm sure the traitors have covered that aspect.

[DeeDeeNY]

12. His statement on this contradicted facts I thought were established

that there were no valid tours at all because all tours had been stopped due to Covid.

[spooky3]

13. Exactly. Several witnesses last January said they

Noticed the tours and thought that was strange due to the restrictions.

[DeeDeeNY]

27. So the dots are connecting themselves.

[Bev54]

31. My bet is they are trying to get pics of those who visited before, in the capitol building

to see if they were seen in some of the places they visited during the tour.

[barbtries]

3. of course they did.

the fucking president of the USA did. I've been saying for years that we'll be generations recovering from his administration - but that's assuming that we will.

[jaxexpat]

8. Yep, just in time for going back to the ongoing project of recovering from Nixon.

"Let's see, where were we? Oh yeah. I believe we were about to craft legislation to curb illegal abuses of power by the executive", said the very, very old House Secretary of Minutia, when finally asked. "Was it abuses of power or violations of campaign finance guidelines? I always get them confused", asked the House Arbiter of Relevant Memory, also a very, very old bureaucrat. Most affectionately referred to him as "HARM". Congress thinks people actually like acronyms.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Captions are horribly inaccurate...

Capehart asks if any MOC “aided, abetted, or were in touch with” insurrectionists, to which Thompson replied “yes”, but the phrase “in touch with” is kind of weasel words…hopefully, the committee will reveal all they know about MOC involvement.

[Emile]

6. Pretty sure Margie Taylor Greene gave guided tours

the day before the insurrection.

[Progressive Jones]

7. So did that fucking pig Boebert. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

11. She Also Was Not A MOC Yet

The new Congress was sworn in AFTER that tour.
Who let her give tours before she was officially a member? Questioning the security protocols in play.
She was still just another private citizen at that point.

[Progressive Jones]

16. Who cares if that sow was sworn in, or not? A traitor is a traitor is a traitor. nt

[obamanut2012]

21. Can we not call her a sow?

JFC I am so tired of these gendered slurs on here. It is 2022.

The RW call Hillary a come and a sow, and Kamala a black sow.

They aren't female pigs and neither are wingnut women.

No one ever calls Cruz, Trump, Bannon, etal sows. Because it is a gendered slur.

[jaxexpat]

23. You're right and calling those creatures boars would be more gender affirming than they deserve.

[Progressive Jones]

25. I won't apologize for calling Boebert a sow, but I'll agree to back off. Best I can do. nt

[irisblue]

22. Calling a woman a pig and sow is good for you Progressive Jones?

Gendered slurs, really?

[Progressive Jones]

26. Is she not a pig? nt

[Progressive Jones]

20. Sworn into office on January 3rd, 2021.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Thought She Was The One...

...who gave the tour around Christmas time, before she was sworn in.

[Progressive Jones]

30. Why are unsworn members even allowed into the chambers? Sure, her idiot fans had elected her,

but she didn't belong in the building yet.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. That's My Point!!!

We completely agree.
One of those 2 dimwits gave their tour before they were officially members.
Who approved it? Why? A first time congressperson gets special rules? Again, why & who?
It's both unseemly & pretty suspicious.

[Progressive Jones]

33. My apologies. I'm tired of seeing people let off on "technicalities". nt

[jaxexpat]

9. That's the rumor. Maybe there's some evidence........hmmm.

Probably because of all the time stamped cell phone pics, videos and stuff. Got to be careful with evidence from eyewitnesses and digital recordings. That's how rumors get perpetuated.

[Progressive Jones]

18. Thank You. nt

[Hoyt]

17. Surely Capitol has cameras. Videos of MTG or any GOPer giving a tour

to trump’s rubes would be powerful. Haven’t seen any.

[crickets]

10. "to see whether or not we can connect the dots between those tours

and people who broke into the Capitol."

There's video. There has got to be security cam video. Ooo, it's gettin' good!

eta: There are witnesses too.

[electric_blue68]

19. Thanks for North Jersey vid (Rep Mikie Sherrill)

[crickets]

24. You're welcome. Sherrill is impressive, isn't she?

I'd seen the first video (msn) before, but hadn't seen this one until today. I am so glad people like Rep. Mikie Sherrill are serving in the House. We need more like her.

[electric_blue68]

28. Yes she was good...

In waaaay upper Northern Manhattan, and Western Bronx Northern NJ has been my neighboring State.
Got great relatives live there, too.

[Firestorm49]

14. What. Is this a surprise?

[spanone]

15. K&R

[calimary]

34. He did seem to "perk up" at that moment.

As in "Indeed??? Tell me more!"

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. These assholes need to be expelled
