and despicable. I do not see how this even benefited them, maybe I missed something. This is just horrible harassment and uncalled for and for gods sake these people have everything so they take away things from those who do not and make their lives miserable.

I am almost in tears listening to this.

WTF didn't the FBI prepare to meet the hostilities - both at the Capitol and at peoples' homes?

Perhaps "the FBI" is not a monolithic organization fighting evil. Perhaps certain elements near the top, as well as other layers, are not particularly loyal to this country and its constitution.

I don't know, but that is what I have somehow surmised over the years.

If so, that would explain why the FBI wasn't prepared.
Also there is Christopher Wray...........

to the smear in any way, shape or form. Totally outrageous. The lawyers should be lined up for a block wanting to represent them against anyone or any entity who made their lives so terrible.

Trump's MAGA fanatics stalked Shaye Moss and tried to conduct a "citizens arrest." Her grandmother was home. These are Black women, in the South. And if you don't know what "citizens arrest" means, it means lynch mob. #January6thCommitteeHearings

And Trump did everything he could to encourage it. The January 6 Committee has done the DOJ’s job for them. If Garland fails to bring all these people before a grand jury, including Trump and his cabal, he will have failed in his job, failed the American people, and failed the rule of law. It’s time for him to act.

I’m sorry, but heading off to Ukraine to consult with them on prosecuting war crimes that might happen in a couple of years or never sends the wrong message about the importance of these hearings and the importance of calling people in front of a grand jury. So far we know of one person, Ron Navarro, who was’t even the closest to Trump.

As I said in another thread on this, it's a goddamn travesty. I'm especially disturbed by how Shaye has been affected.

Looks like PTSD. Inflicted on her by racist, fascist thugs. All because she was doing a civic, public good, of which she was rightfully proud. Now she's been stripped of something that was a not-insignificant part of her identity. And she questions everything she does. The people involved in the instigation of and the harassment she's suffered ought to be in jail.
