In reply to the discussion: *30 lawmakers asking Capitol security officials for details, say reported suspicions visits on 5th [View all]patphil
(6,172 posts)When at least 34 Representatives sign a letter about suspicious tours, at least one Representative had her office panic buttons removed, a gallows is built to hang the Vice-President, and many of the insurrectionists look like they came ready to do what they did, then it's reasonable to assume you have a conspiracy.
Also reasonable to assume they had sympathetic Congressmen and Congresswomen who were assisting this attempt to halt of the vote.
And the only reason they would block the vote would be to keep Trump in power.
One doesn't need to know the who of a crime to identify that a crime was committed.
That will come later with Justice Department investigation.
This whole thing was too big for just Trump though...he isn't that good at planning.
And now we see with today's impeachment vote that he still has strong Republican support in the House.
I can't for the life of me figure out how 197 Republicans could vote against impeachment at this time.
It appears that Trump still has an iron grip on the Republican party. Is it out of fear, or because they believe in what he is trying to do, or both?
