On Saturday, Trump is set to throw red meat to his base — and continue gearing up for a possible 2024 presidential run — at the Houston-area "Save America" rally. In this alternate reality, the ongoing investigation into his election scheming is all a witch hunt, those "alternate electors" were just trying to help America, and he and his fellow plotters are the real victims.

Back in the real world, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday it was investigating the Trump campaign’s bogus elector slate scheme, which has quickly become a focus of the House select committee investigating Jan. 6. The scheme began in December 2020 and involved Republicans in seven states’ sending Congress forged and fraudulent alternate electoral slates naming Donald Trump the winner of the presidential election.

Like the Justice Department’s Jan. 13 indictment of 11 Oath Keepers on charges of seditious conspiracy and the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena surge, this Justice Department announcement represents another milestone toward full accountability. Importantly, revelation of the phony electoral slates, together with a newly unearthed draft executive order that would have directed the Defense Department to confiscate voting machines, highlights the existence of something we have been calling “Plan A.”

This plan was the first phase of the Trump administration’s plot to overturn the 2020 election. ..... read more ....

1. This is so warranted. I've wished it would happen right from the onset of the big lie.

Allowing them to serve is dangerous for our country.

[Samrob]

2. That should be a no-brainer. nt

[Polybius]

3. We can't

Because then we'd have to expel the Democrats who voted to overturn the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections (even though it was justified in 2000 and 2016). As bad as it sounds, lawmakers have that right to certify or not.

5. Lawmakers do not have a right to attempt an illegal coup.

Plus, there were NOT any Democratic lawmakers voting "to overturn the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections" as you say. There were objections to the 2004 Ohio electors in both the Senate and the House, forcing a debate with good cause. How Kerry Votes Were Switched To Bush Votes

9. I was talking about the objections

There were objections in 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2020. That's allowed.

[L. Coyote]

10. Those objections were not part of a coup.

[SouthernDem4ever]

15. Very true. Bothsiderism's don't apply here

I wish more people would get that.

[paleotn]

22. Lets see.....was their an insurrection in 2000, 2004 or 2016

fomented by said congress critters? Me thinks not. False equivalence.

[NightWatcher]

4. I want to see which of them had links to co-conspiritors. If there's texts saying

"We're all going to vote to not certify and then say ... because they are going to make trump win..." or words to that effect.

If they are linked to participants they should be removed or investigated and charged for aiding and advancing the conspiracy.

[L. Coyote]

6. They all knew the election was secure and the results were correct, no excuse for not knowing.

They are the "participants" BY THEIR OWN ACTIONS.

7. Rts TY I Hope they're All

Brought Way Down By their Insurrection Domestic Terrorism

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Absolutely.

Dumping the traitors in Congress is the only way to restore Democracy.

[malaise]

11. K & R

Expel them and Lock them up!

[MineralMan]

12. At the very least, those votes should be the focus of campaigns

against every one of them. Democratic candidates should use those votes in every ad they run. Now, that's a winning strategy.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. One thing to be duped, another to foment sedition and insurrection. Accountability needed for latter

[wendyb-NC]

14. They should all be removed

They should be deemed unworthy to run for or serve in office again.

[SouthernDem4ever]

16. Absolutely. They have deemed themselves not to be trusted to follow the law

or the constitution.

[OMGWTF]

21. They should lose their right to vote and own a gun as well.

[KS Toronado]

17. In my mind, all 147 aided & abetted in the coup.

Those up for reelection should have difficulties they deserve.

[bringthePaine]

18. ASAP!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

19. And they haven't even released info on the ID and plots behind

militia across the Potomac AND the overnight RNC/DNC bomber

[monkeyman1]

20. well shit ,just signed the petition & hope all D.U.'rs do the same ?

[bucolic_frolic]

23. All 147 votes should be automatic to expel. Call it self-deportation, and thank Mitt Romney.

[Generic Brad]

24. Make that 148 to be removed

Lindsay Graham was also involved in the Georgia scheme.

[moondust]

25. Does anyone seriously doubt

that many if not all KNEW they were participating in a coup? They KNEW "widespread election fraud" was a Big Lie and they were happy to play their part in the scheme because they KNEW they would be rewarded for helping to install their dictator.

Toss 'em out.

[L. Coyote]

26. I can't wait for a jury of Georgia voters to deliberate on their votes being threatened.

[brooklynite]

28. A pointless demand...

Expulsion requires a 2/3 vote of the entire House, per the Constitution.
