It Looks Like the RNC Raised Money for Stop the Steal, [View all]

The select committee has subpoenaed records from the RNC vendor Salesforce. After Trump lost the election he went on a money request to back Stop the Steal, the rallying cry of the insurrection, the RNC may have used its funding to support the coup attempt.

The RNC must be worried because it is suing the select committee to prevent it from getting the records.

Madison Cawthorn just did a town hall where he said, "how sorry I am.....we were not able to stop the 2020 election from happening."

I was recently accused of advocating being like Russia because I made the statement that Merrick Garland is going to have to be partisan because the Republican party is complicit in overturning our democracy. I stand by my statement. The Republican party is rigging the next election, the Republican party is passing laws that subvert our democracy, the Republican party is passing laws that go after anyone who is not a part of the master white race and gender.

It's time our DOJ goes after the Republican party, not because it is a rival of the Democratic party, but because the Republican party is violating our Constitution.

Have at me, I am upset that most of these investigations have to be carried out by the select committee when they should be carried out by DOJ. Did not DOJ say it would follow the money? Just asking.
