Arizona election audit and Liz Cheney's ouster?

Get real media! The simple truth is we have an entire political party that was and is complicit in trying to pull a permanent coup d'etat. And they still are! The Rs are not just doing this to regain power.

How do you explain their instant amnesia after the Capitol assault (an assault that frightened them so much they condemned it and it's leader in it's immediate aftermath)? Why did they do that? Just to save their jobs? Just to keep their base voters loyal to them in their next election?

I don't think so. I think it runs far deeper than that:

(1) Far too many of them were directly complicit in the attempt to upend and ultimately overturn the 2020 election results via fraudulent, illegal activities starting on November 7 and leading to and including the Capitol assault itself.

Every one of those far too many are at risk of being charged with serious crimes and potentially losing their personal freedom. Does anyone really believe they would just sit on the sidelines hoping that a Biden DOJ would rather turn the page, move forward not look back, and not pursue them? They have too much at risk.

(2) This isn't their first attempt. In fact, their first attempt actually succeeded in 2016.

Too many of them can be implicated in deliberate foreign interference of that election. What they are doing now is directly related to their involvement in Russia's interference. Collusion with a foreign government to rig the 2016 election results in their favor. How many of them were "agents" of a foreign government along with the former one? How many were compromised? The acts and behavior exhibited by Rs in Congress today directly result from the illicit and illegal activities they were party to in the 2016 election. The big lie, the fealty to Trump, has all been to cover their asses; ultimately, to keep themselves out of jail.

That's what I think. It's all connected and it's as corrupt and illegal as it gets.
