Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-29-2022?s=r
"The missing logs might not, in the end, obscure any phone calls made in that time, though....because last summer, the January 6 Committee instructed 35 telecom and social media companies to preserve records of calls....Crooked Media editor in chief Brian Beutler recalled McCarthys threat to punish telecom companies that cooperate with the January 6 Committee.
While Eastman presented a plan by which Pence could refuse to count Bidens electors, Cruz wrote a plan for congress members to object to the results in six critical states that Biden won, establishing a 10-day audit that would have enabled Republican-dominated state legislatures to overturn the election results in their states. Ten other senators backed Cruzs plan, offering a path to create enough chaos to keep Trump in power."
And then there is this: "Department of Justice yesterday revealed that it wants 131 more lawyers to handle January 6 cases. In the request, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said, "Regardless of whatever resources we see or get, let's be very, very clear: we are going to hold those perpetrators accountable, no matter where the facts lead us,... no matter what level.

(91 posts)Eastman and Cruz are also linked by having both clerked for Federal Appeals Court Judge Luttig, although I don't know if they were there at the same time.

He's flaming idiot who needs to be thrown in prison for treason among other crimes.
