Jim Jordan and Republican conspirators are creating an excuse for not jumping....

...directly into hearings about January 6th Committee transcripts, etc. The majority of them have dirt on their hands and they are in no hurry to have it pointed out to them.

So, they blame Biden.

Biden is somehow preventing them from jumping right in because he is requiring them to follow the rules and start over as a new Congress, if they wish to have hearings and witnesses, etc.

Of course, they are making excuses to their followers, the insurrectionists that follow Trump, that they just can't wait to make those evil Democrats pay for their sins.

When the truth of the matter is that they are waiting to see where the DOJ is headed and to see if their names might be on a witness list, or even worse, a target list.

They need to ask to have the questions beforehand that pertain to the J6 committee work. Then have their answer prepared from the actual report of the J6 committee. Every Dem who does show up should point out how Jordan would not be interviewed and list all the Republicans who refused or took the fifth. Then point out how most of the actual testimony was provided by Republicans such as Cassidy Hutchinson.

Also, I imagine the Dems already have this figured out anyway and don't need me. Haha.

Isnt the republican company line it was just tourists visiting the capital? Not a thing generally investigatable.

Expose its political motivations, dissect its unfairness, and reframe the Capitol breach as a security failure rather than an insurrection.

But its not like actually investigating that will do them any good. The whole point is the PR aspect, and any actual work done will only backfire. Better to talk about it than actually push forward.

If you hang out with trump long enough, you will eventually be either a witness or a co-conspirator.

WhoTF can they call as witnesses that would not implicate them in some manner?

Imagine this scenerio

Gym J: how did you find out that the oathkeepers were coming to DC on the 6th, fully armed?

Answer: Well, from you and Marg
