1. Lock him up

Yup

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. +1

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. After the virus, we need to meet up.

I like you....you think like me.

[Hortensis]

2. Wasn't his "resignation" demanded and accepted immediately

by people, including Pelosi, who could have died that day? I still wonder if they would have killed her safely inside or tried to hang her in front of the Capitol for the world to see.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. That is a HORRIBLE thought.......

and one that SO MANY are refusing to acknowledge COULD HAVE HAPPENED!

I'm guessing that the ones that could have done it were not the partying ones that Sen. Ron Johnson (Whacko - Wis.) was talking about.

[erronis]

28. Ron Johnson (Quacko - Wis.)

These aren't your grandparents Quaker Oats.

[Cha]

3. Rt TY..

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Glad to see that little discrepancy cleared up.

Now, charge him with perjury and dereliction of duty and get him back under oath to find out why he did nothing. Someone above him was calling the shots...who was that?

[Dream Girl]

10. I wonder if he received a preemptive pardon

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. Now that would be evidence of some serious Insurrection preplanning.

Congressional Democrats are asking the right questions and following the evidence on the actions of those in charge of the government on 1/6/21.

[TwilightZone]

18. Pardons can't be preemptive.

They only apply to crimes committed prior to the pardon being granted. The president can't pardon someone for future crimes.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. "TwilightZone" is a pretty appropriate name for the whole "future crime" thing.

[Judi Lynn]

17. Whoa, that's a tough one, isn't it? Here he is, on his job, possibly last year:

"Right this way, you big P.O.S."

[Hestia]

29. Michael Flynn's brother, per Rachel being one of the few to air the House report

on Tuesday. There is an article in Wash Post about it

[triron]

5. Part of the reason the capitol police failed at their mission to protect the congress.

Bet Trump had a hand in this. I cannot believe otherwise.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. They didn't fail to protect Congress; they only failed to protect the building from being breached.

The capitol police did a laudable job of protecting people, especially considering the fact that they were deliberately hampered and deliberately denied help.

[lindysalsagal]

6. These had to start leaking eventually. Now, to prove intent and planning and conspiracy.

Shouldn't be hard if we have the political will to do it.

[choie]

8. Baloney!

[theneworiginal]

9. And perhaps there are a bunch of conspiring scumbag Insurrectionists

who are denying the obvious.

[OAITW r.2.0]

31. LOL, bullshit.

But fog of war, been there, - can't see shit, got the fuck out of there.

[OnDoutside]

11. Yay, I got one right ! He was super shifty at that House hearing, full of "I don't recall" BS.

[BComplex]

39. I saw him testify...told my husband "that guy is lying"!!!

It was so obvious!!

[malaise]

12. Does anyone have the clip with Irving responding

to the question 0 who was President on Jan 6?

His response gave me a big hint about the guilty party here.

[Duppers]

13. K & R

[calimary]

15. Keep poking those holes! They let the truth wriggle in.

[JI7]

16. From the Clip I saw of them I thought Sund came off more believable

The clip of them testifying and when a senator tries to clear up this part.

Sund was the scapegoat wasn't he ?

[MerryBlooms]

19. Sund insisted his first call was at 1:09pm and his phone would back that up.

Irving's "I don't recall.", excuse isn't going to cut it.

[bottomofthehill]

21. The problem with calling someone is that they are not always able to answer.

Both the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms were on the Floor of the House for the beginning of the Joint Session of Congress which started at 1. You can see Paul Irving Still on the Floor of the House as late as 1:15 and Michael Stenger leaves the House to bring the Senate back to their Chamber at about that time. Mr Sund said he spoke to them and they were together so that would move the timeline even further back. C—Span time stamps their video every couple of minutes.

[bottomofthehill]

23. The cspan link is below

Mr Paul Irving first appeared on the screen at 12:59 and announced the sSenate into the Chamber at 1pm. Mr Michael Stenger appears at 1pm Mr Irving is still seen on the Floor as late as 1:15, I am not sure about Mr Stenger but they were doing their duty as it relates to the counting of the electoral votes. It is possible that the Chief was calling, but also possible that he did not talk to either of the Sergeants.

32. You are working it!

Republican plausibility.

[bottomofthehill]

33. Just trying to ensure we don't turn into Q-anon party too.

Truth matters especially when it is plain for all to see.

Senator Kennedy was fond of saying “ It’s your lie, tell it any way you want” then he would say, “Just don’t get caught by the truth”.

When you watch cspan you can make your own decision. I still think that all think they are right, but the truth is on the tape...

The chief may well have called, but it does not look like he talked to anyone until a little after his internal timeline seems to tell him.

[OAITW r.2.0]

34. Which Senator Kennedy? LA or MA?

[bottomofthehill]

35. That would be MA

[OAITW r.2.0]

36. Sen. John Kennedy, LA, could take JFK's very words and twist them to his awful advantage.

Unless we call them on it.

[bottomofthehill]

37. Sorry as a Massachusetts native, there is only one Senator Kennedy to us, Ted

The other John Kennedy (no relation, as Brian Williams likes to say) is only referred to as President Kennedy. Old habits die hard.

[Captain Zero]

26. Check his bank accounts, see if he took a bribe.

Was he on another payroll ?

[bottomofthehill]

27. Check and see if the facts support the allegation
