A timeline question?

[kentuck]

Did the Congressmen request "pardons" before January 6th or after January 6th?

Did they request a pardon after the coup attempt failed?

1. An excellent question!

Bet the J6 has the answer.

2. I will be listening for it.

I wonder how many asked for pardons? Were they the pardons that Jared was working on?

3. You gotta hand it to DUers, they're up before the worms working hard to save democracy

A legitimate question for the fall ... "Did you, Congressman (or candidate), request a pardon from President Trump?"

Perry, Mastriano, Brooks, Gosar, Boebert, Greene might not want to tell the public.

I doubt pardons were coveted before Jan 6, but by the 10th there was a market maker.

4. I think you are probably right.

We may find out tomorrow morning with the Second Hearing.

5. After, according to Liz Cheney

Several Republican members of Congress asked for a pardon from then-President Donald Trump after the Capitol riot, Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the House January 6 committee said Thursday.

Cheney made the comments at the committee's first public hearing into the Capitol riot on Thursday night.

She called out Rep. Scott Perry in particular, saying: "Representative Perry contacted the White House in the weeks after January 6 to seek a presidential pardon."

That is good to know.

7. I expect the committee will tell us who they all were.

Indulge me. Imagine for a moment that all the congressassholes who helped the insurrection in any way are expelled.

Doesn't that give you a warm fuzzy feeling?

I know it isn't likely to happen but a girl can dream.
