They are all trying to stop the NY AG from going further with the investigation of Trump. They are also trying to scare the jury members and their families. It's a type of obstruction of justice preemptively. I just hope Fani throws a wrench into all of this by indicting Trump by Wednesday.
Kevin and folks like MTG are holding the entire US justice system hostage with their lies and threats. I hope the Special Counsel has charges against all the Congress critters including Kevin and MTG who took part in attempts to obstruct justice and any crimes they are guilty of concerning J6.

(15,649 posts)rationale for their extreme behavior relative to all the ethical and criminal inquiries into Trump since his election
and maybe before when I consider McConnells response to Obama admin on intelligence agency reports about Russian interference in the final stretch of the 2016 election.
They are all compromised directly or indirectly.

(47,318 posts)No way Trump is worth it.
He is a liability. And they know it.
They are fighting for something else.
And typically GOP leaders fright for themselves and those paying them.
They secretly hope Trump goes away forever. What they're doing is pandering to his followers, the MAGAT base, hoping to keep their votes.

(22,767 posts)I'd be more than happy to see Gym Jordan, Bobert, Margerine Trailer Grease and McCarthy all in prison, along with a few others. But aside from the former Oaf of Office, those are my top choices. Especially #1 and #3 on that list.

Plus, the judicial system is already stressed by the uneven justice.
