The House voted Tuesday night to refer former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to the Justice Department for a potential criminal charge over his refusal to answer questions about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Lawmakers passed the measure largely along party lines in a 222-208 vote. Two Republicans voted with Democrats: Reps. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, and Adam Kinzinger, of Illinois.

Meadows, a former House member from North Carolina, initially provided numerous documents to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot before deciding against further engagement, claiming executive privilege.

The investigative panel voted unanimously Monday night to advance the contempt of Congress measure, saying Meadows should face a criminal charge for defying the panel's subpoena to testify.

10. And they pretty much call the shots in today's GOP

The only major party in the developed world that meets all 14 criteria for fascism (and then some).

6. Rep. Adam Kinzinger slammed his GOP colleagues

(CNN)Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger slammed his GOP colleagues, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, for invoking Nazi-era imagery to mock President Joe Biden's latest Covid-19 vaccination efforts.

"It's absolute insanity," the Illinois congressman said of his fellow House Republicans' comments in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
He went on to say, "This is outrage politics that is being played by my Party and it's going to get Americans killed."
"Our Party has been hijacked, my Party has been hijacked. It is on the way to the ground. And for some people, it's a fun ride, right? We can put out this outrageous stuff on Twitter, 'Yeah I'm getting all these retweets and everybody knows me, I'm famous,'" he said. "But this plane is going to crash to the ground."

[Ahpook]

A few of these clowns will be thrown for visual reasons, but that orange turd and the rest of the assholes will walk.

What a joke!

11. Sad but true

Without Ted Lieu's bill on inherent contempt, that's the situation.

Meanwhile, they're plotting a fascist takeover in '24 every waking minute.
