Mo Brooks BOOM! "President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Bide

[Yorkie Mom]

President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency. As a lawyer, I’ve repeatedly advised President Trump that January 6 was the final election contest verdict and neither the U.S. Constitution nor the U.S. Code permit what President Trump asks. Period.

1. Get thee to the greatest page

RFN!
The Party’s Over!

[Ocelot II]

2. Trump often stabs people in the back - and sometimes they return the favor.

[Grasswire2]

3. missing info, tho

We need to know WHEN Trump made that request of him.

[live love laugh]

8. When's a nice-to-know but it's damning no matter when he said that IMHO.

[Carlitos Brigante]

4. Oh fuck! This whole time I somehow missed that this shit kicking asshole was running for

the Senate. I thought it was for his House seat. Now there's something to not look forward to.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Brooks speaking out bc tRump removed his Endorsement (tfg's capitalization). . . nt

[Rebl2]

40. Yes and

otherwise he would not be speaking out now.

[alittlelark]

6. Holy Moly !!!

[CrispyQ]

7. Yes, but we still don't know what Trump's "intent" was. -nt

[onecaliberal]

32. I know, right...

If anyone here thinks allowing this bullshit to stand and letting these people get away with it all doesn't weigh people down and dissuade them from voting, you're fooling yourselves.

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. Which is greater - his stupidity or moral character??

[rurallib]

15. he has no moral character - all he cares about is Trump's endorsement

and his winning the senate seat. Greed, power, money.

[GB_RN]

48. Well, You Do Know What GOP Stands For, Right?

It’s not short for Grand Old Party. GOP = Greed Over People.

By the way, the Democratic Party had original claim to the nickname GOP until the Republicans appropriated it. I don’t know the details of when that took place, but that bit of trivia came from the resident US historian, Zenger*, at Electoral-Vote.com, in one of his articles there a few weeks ago.

*Zenger, or Z, is his pen name on the site. He’s a PhD and teaches US history at USC.

[GoCubsGo]

10. It's disappointing that...Trump lets Mitch McConnell manipulate him again."

But, it's the Democrats who are "in disarray"? I hope these GOPer battles not only continue, but escalate to the point of self-immolation.

[Roland99]

11. He's been silent over a year? He's just as guilty!

[Captain Stern]

36. Pretty much.

I'd actually be able to dredge up at least some bit of respect for the guy, if he'd come out about this as it was happening.

But, now he's decided to come clean?

Nah...hard pass for me. I can't bring myself to even feel a little bad for him. Fuck that guy. He paid his money, and took his chances. trump's going to shit on him like he does all of his 'friends' eventually.

[Rebl2]

41. Yes he is

[Marius25]

12. And why is Trump not in handcuffs yet?

No other person on Earth would get away with committing this many crimes.

[Cha]

13. And, there it is.

💙💛

[dixiechiken1]

14. And nothing will change, for them OR us ..

Mo Brooks will keep getting re-elected & TFG will keep on grifting. Same shit, different day.

[Hortensis]

20. :) If you'd said that any time these past 40 years you'd have been wrong.

Of course, many things on the right changed drastically for the worse in that period, but it was still change.

Buckle up. It's a rocky ride. What it isn't is same-old forever.

[Bev54]

25. He would have to win the senate seat because it is too late now for him to

run for his house seat again. I don't think he will make it.

[L. Coyote]

16. Brooks dropped to third in the polls, not? He and #FailedCoupGuy sealed their own fate, ignominity.

Just in case Republicans are reading this, that long, weird last word means "public shame or disgrace."

[NQAS]

17. You know...

I don’t want to be a downer, but…

Yes, this should be a BOOM.

But the way things have been looking, it’ll be more of a Pfffttt

I’ve been here for 20 years and there has been so much stuff that should be a “boom, this is it.”

But it almost never is.

LIHOP/MIHOP - look it up if you weren’t around after 9/11

Colin Powell lying about uranium

Torture at abu GhrAlain

The whole Iraq debacle under bush.

And on and on.

It’s never “this is it.”

So, this is good news but I’ll reserve my excitement.

[Pinback]

19. You know what this means -- that's right:

[Retrograde]

18. And yet Mo voted against impeachment

What a fine patriot is Mo Brooks - he only protests Donnie's unspeakable coup attempt when Mo himself is hurt.

[Hortensis]

22. All anyone needs to know. The party needs fumigating.

[twodogsbarking]

21. Trump couldn't find anyone as corrupt as he is.

He did his best but failed.

[Traildogbob]

23. He better double up that bullet proof vest.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. You gotta get Mo really really really mad for him to tell the truth /nt

[James48]

26. What more evidence do you need to indict?

Jesus- A Congressman testifying about a whacko who attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States.

I say again- why is he not in jail now???

[Zeitghost]

51. With regards to this specific issue

It's because asking someone to perform a governmental procedure they are not constitutionally allowed to do is not a crime.

If I request that my Congressman declare me Emperor for life, I haven't committed a crime, I'm just a moron. Even if they follow through and put it to a vote that passes, it's still not a crime, it's simply a bad law for the courts to strike down.

[Traildogbob]

27. And all these repubs

Are raging, spittin and hissy fattin about Judge Jackson and weak on crime bullshit. As they laugh at subpoenas from congress. Can not scream , “ Fuck the GD GQP to hell loud enough, ASAP. Lindsay’s butt buddy tried to over through our government, is he stomping out mad and squealing about weak penalties for his BFF? Republicans need to all be locked up, yes you, Hawley, Cotton, Cruz, Blackburn et al. End this shit in. I embers. Ship em all to Putin.

[The Wizard]

42. Putin has the on the payroll.

[Traildogbob]

43. Putin and

American oligarchs. Greed and lies to get more and more. Jesus needs to come flip some tables with the rage Lindsay falsely demonstrates.

[LW1977]

28. Paging Merrick Garland..

Hint hint hint, wink wink

[Jetheels]

33. Not sure a wink is gonna rouse him from his sleep.

[3825-87867]

29. We may need a Go Fund Me setup for

Garland and the DOJ!

Hearing aids (the real good ones) and seeing eye dogs ain't cheap!

Either that or Biden needs to reaffirm the DOJ IS doing things required by LAW...and BEFORE the mid terms.

I know the "Wheels of Justice" turn slowly but I'm beginning to wonder if they need training wheels and that may mean we need a power attachment.

[Akoto]

30. One assumes he wouldn't dilvulge this without proof. Wonder what he has? nt

[NewHendoLib]

31. Will someone please lock that disgusting orange blob up and

Toss the key???

[Joinfortmill]

34. Well, there you go.

[bluedigger]

35. Sounds to me like he would have kept mum if Trump hadn't turned on him.

Fucking traitor.

[YoshidaYui]

38. They all kiss Trump's ass

!Sorera wa subete orokadesu! They are all stupid!

[Pepsidog]

39. Had Brooks released this statement on 1/7/20 I might give him some credit. Too little too late to

jump off the conspiracy bus now. Shameless, feckless, corrupt, racists, spineless, and most of all “UnAmerican”
is the only way to describe the Republican Party. We are living a dystopian nightmare where a once noble and grand democracy is descending rapidly into a kleptocracy brought about by 30 years of right wing propaganda, Christian Fundamentalism, aided and abetted by Russia. Hillary was prescient when she describes a right-wing conspiracy over 30 years ago. And here we are left with a SCOTUS that if not changed will rollback fundamental rights even more for the next 40 years or more. My hope with Hillary was in her SCOTUS picks that would leave our country in good hands for the rest of my life and most of my kids. Now where is the “hope” to come from, who will save our country. Who is the next Teddy or Franklin Roosevelt to take up the fight for soul of our country. I thought Obama was gonna be that guy and while I love him, I can now see he was far too moderate and decent to do what needs to be done. That is stomping out the Republican Party. It’s gonna come down to either our view of the country or the Republicans view and so far they have proved far more effective at deflecting and diverting the attention of Americans who believe that CRT is really a thing and Democrats are baby killing predators. The spectacle of 1/6 and it’s acceptance as ordinary political activism proves that American politics is sick I just hope there is a cure to what is killing our Democracy.

[Scrivener7]

44. Huh. The DOJ really oughta do something about that.

[70sEraVet]

45. Mo Books is just now realizing, that when Trump was bragging about how if he shot somebody

in the middle of 5th Ave, he wasn't talking about HIMSELF doing the shooting. -- he meant that one of his loyal cult followers would be doing the shooting FOR him.
Mo Brooks may be a rat, but he's not the kind of rat who stick his neck into a trap for someone else's cheese.

[Grins]

46. Fine. 06 Committee. Under oath. Go! NM

[Grins]

47. Said the guy who put on a bullet proof vest before he went to the Ellipse.

Because he KNEW what was going to happen. Because he was in on it.

And whatajerk to admit it!!

[czarjak]

49. Mo went to college? Taking names and kicking ass time!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

50. If the MAGAT King is not convicted of the crime of Seditious Conspiracy,

and sentenced to a prison term, I will lose whatever little faith and trust I have left in the US justice system.
