Josh Hawley Caught With Hands In Cookie Jar: JANUARY 4- "it depends" on what happens January 6th."

On January 4, 2021 Eastman held a meeting on the coup plot.

Trump goes to Georgia saying it’s up to Pence.

Joshua Hawley goes on Fox News and in response to being asked who the President will be he says “it depends” on what happens January 6th.

and stop it!! We need to throw him out of office NOW in MO. Perhaps there are other Missourians who have some decent ideas on how to do this under the MO constitution? Hints anyone?

The only alternative is expulsion by 2/3rds of the Senate, and that ain't happenin'. We can call on him to resign, but that'll just bounce off.

Sadly, I don't have much hope in terms of our voters tossing him. But I'm gonna work on it.

Sworn to uphold the Constitution, telling the world the president he will recognize depends on the outcome of the brawl he knows is coming.

Fucking traitor. He should be shot.

I interpreted it to mean, "You got a huckleberry inside, boys." But if that's not what he meant, then Hawley should explain himself.

Interesting.

I hope the committee takes down lots of Republican traitors. I'd almost rather get them than Trump.

will be among those who, if they've said or done anything to continue the lie past then, they can be charged with obstruction and/or aiding and abetting the crime of fraud.

... because Mike Pence and Bill Barr knew about it too, along with most of the Repukes in the House and Senate. Even Boebert and MTG knew about it, and they had zero authority. (Boebert hadn't even been sworn in yet.)

But if Hawley did something to HELP Chump on Jan. 6th, it's a different story. I sure hope the select committee is pursuing this.

They claim that democrats have voted not to certify in previous elections. It's the old "you made me do it" excuse.

But, they leave out one big fact. In previous protest votes the losing candidate in question had already conceded and nobody was ever expecting the losing candidate to remain in power because of the protest.

This time around the republicans were actually trying to change the outcome of the election.

Big difference.
