Looked and didn't see anything on how J6 committee has been withholding

evidence and interview transcripts from the DOJ?? Big news today

Remember this was a huge discussion here - about separation of government branches. Hard to buy into - when the ultimate goal is justice?

But will listen to the arguments again. Hope they have a good reason not to cooperate because that was some really bad image control, before their final report. IMHO 😊

Do wonder who is driving this? Which particular members? Hope it's someone with valid reasons!!! Jeez even the Chief Legal Correspondent on CNN said it was insane ( not to be cooperating)

What is up with people saying " John and I's car?"

It sounds so ignorant. Surely it's not proper.

Question about Covid

My girlfriend was with someone ( couple hours inside) whose husband had Covid. The very next day she got an email, "well I've got it too."

(I told my friend not to put this person on any brainiac list)

But ....

Is each strain different?

When is a person infectious? In the arc of Covid?
When they're symptomatic?

Assume this person was incubating the infection since her husband had it.

Do not understand why this isn't a documented sequence by now. Or is it constantly changing?

Trump Might Have to Face His Worst Nightmare--a D.C. Jury Opinion by Mitchell Epner

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-might-have-to-face-his-worst-nightmare-e2-80-94a-dc-jury/ar-AA14Dp4n

I cannot imagine the 11th Circuit allowing this circus to continue until Dec. 1, and that’s part of why I expect that the 11th Circuit will promptly overrule Judge Cannon, ending the entire process.

Snip

If The 11th Circuit Rules Against Trump, What Is Likely To Happen Next?

If the 11th Circuit rules against Trump, I would expect an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, which would be quickly denied. As soon as that happens, I expect that newly appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team will indict former President Trump on multiple counts.

Although Trump has tried to keep this case in the Southern District of Florida (where Republicans recently routed Democrats in statewide elections), I expect that the indictment would be issued from the District Court for the District of Columbia. The crimes related to the removal and retention of national security documents in violation of the Espionage Act were arguably committed when Trump removed them from the White House, making D.C. a possible venue for an indictment on those charges.

Trump would almost certainly fear a trial in front of a Washington, D.C., jury even more than he would fear a trial in front of a South Florida jury. Trump received only 5 percent of the vote in the District in 2020, by far his lowest total anywhere. By contrast, he won Florida in 2020

May not be a forum for this.. but does anyone have an Airbnb?

What are your top 5 most egregious FG acts?

Think we need to focus? He admits he throws many balls up in the air.

For me, the fact that a US House Committee concluded he purposely hid Covid from the citizenry and withheld PPE from doctors and nurses has got to be up there. For me anyway.

And like DU barbtries mentioned... Separating children from their parents at border...


What do you think?

Will trump get indicted?

Very relevant IMHO... Preet said if there was nothing

there, and there was no intention to prosecute then they would not have bothered appointing a special counsel
