These comments coming from the GOPers like McCarthy and Graham are shameful and dangerous.

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.

rationale for their extreme behavior relative to all the ethical and criminal inquiries into Trump since his election … and maybe before when I consider McConnell’s 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.

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.

Something I imagine they can easily get in hot water with quickly if they piss off the right judge.

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.

Jury tampering, witness tampering, attempted obstruction of justice, and possibly some kind of infraction of House ethics rules?

I really don't think these directives are coming from Putin. It has to be the dark money people and the right-wing extremist groups, they have a lot more to lose when Chump finally goes down.

For this same transaction and he was only following orders. Giving the orders should be worth double the prison time.

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

The people screaming "Lock her Up!" over emails apparently cannot conceive of any circumstance which justifies even charging or trying a serial criminal.
