Help Me Here - The Repugs Are Saying That The Committee Is Illegal/Unconstitutional But...

[global1]

if the committee is detailing the timeline of a coup attempt and TFG's culpability as the leader of the coup - does that negate the truth that the committee is uncovering? Does it make it any less the truth?

Do they think that their stand that the committee as being illegal/unconstitutional means that they are not guilty of the treason and sedition of their attempt to overthrowing our government - not allowing the peaceful transition of government.

Are they any less guilty?

1. The committee is neither illegal nor unconstitutional

The Article 1 Branch is exercising its oversight responsibilities

4. I Know That The Committee Is Neither Illegal Nor Unconstitutional - That's Why I Posed The Question.

How could the Repugs use that as an excuse to discredit the work of this committee?

It's a stupid stand by them.

The facts are the facts. The truth is the truth.

That's what this committee is doing. They are uncovering the elements of the attempted coup by Trump and his minions.

It's not any less the truth because the Repugs are saying that the committee is illegal/unconstitutional.

It's just stupid on the part of the Repugs to make that their position on this.

5. They can't argue the facts or outcomes, so all they have left is

To try to persuade dummies that the process was bad.

7. But The Repugs Could Call The Process Bad - But Like I Said In My Post....

The facts are the facts. The truth is the truth.

They can't argue with that.

13. I think the question is: what is the purpose of the hearings?

The committee can’t throw people in jail. They can try to persuade the public about what really happened, and they can try to convince the DOJ that THEY must prosecute. The Republicans know the facts are not on their side. So, they are hoping to convince the public that the process is illegitimate so that will cancel out reactions to the facts. They can hope that the DOJ won’t trust what the committee did in its process, to gaslight them.

6. The argument is to their dupes so that they stay duped

and ready to destroy election infrastructure and shoot liberals.

12. "How could the Repugs use that as an excuse to discredit the work of this committee?"

It's what they do...exercise their 1st Amendment right and spread propaganda. They aren't talking to us, rather the kookie radical righteous who don't listen to anyone but the Repugs.

2. They are lying

The committee is legal and constitutional. Trump and his minions are guilty of sedition.

[Takket]

3. They just don't want to face reality

Ignore them. This is the time for patriots to step forward. Not the time for insurrectionits. They had their time on Jan 6.

[Lars39]

8. They are trying to bulldoze their narrative

to be the dominant take-away. Ultimate gas-lighting

[Mr.Bill]

9. They call everything they don't agree with unconstitutional.

They've been doing that for years. There are only nine people who ultimately have the authority to declare anything unconstitutional. That would be the Supreme Court of the United States.

10. Those Republicans who discredit the Jan 6th Select Committee...

will be proving Liz Cheney correct that " There will come a day by defending the indefensible, when Donald Trump is gone, your dishonor will remain."

We know who she was directing that statement to. They know who they are and there are a lot of them.

[Justice matters.]

15. The assholes who solicitated blanket pardons should get subpoenas...

from the DOJ ...

Are pardons from a felon-to-be valid (if they got them)?

[Effete Snob]

11. Trump didn't incite a riot because he didn't say "Simon Says"

Since he didn’t say “Simon says” anyone who went to the Capitol wasn’t listening.

[G_j]

14. of course they say that

they are scrambling for anything, doesn’t matter if it’s true.
