Agree. He will most likely try to run out the clock until January when the new Republican majority will almost certainly dissolve the Committee.
Had not considered this but it makes sense Former Trump official: He 'wanted people to die' in the riot so he could declare martial law and stay in power (msn.com) "I believe Donald Trump wanted people to die," said Taylor. "He wanted people to die who were elected officials, en masse, so he could call out the military, so he could invoke the Insurrection Act, so he could prevent the peaceful transfer of power. That's not a conspiracy theory. In fact, in hindsight, it's pretty damn clear to me this is what he had in mind from day one in office." This plan from Trump, said Taylor, explains something that had mystified himself and other national security officials about the former president from day one: why he continually refused to condemn right-wing domestic terrorist groups every time there was a violent incident. "Why did he make excuses for domestic terrorist groups? Because he was on their side." "We saw in testimony the other week in courts that the January 6th plotters knew they were engaging in an insurrection, an armed insurrection. That's what they intended," said Taylor. "And we have people, extremists ... two hops away from the president of the United States who were planning on making that happen. He wanted people to die on January 6th so that he could use those presidential powers to prevent our democracy from transitioning to a new president. And I think the committee presented that in extremely powerful passion."
The committee, from testimony almost exclusively from those pesky RHINO's, clearly established intent. That the committee did that strongly suggests a referral to DOJ is forthcoming. Any MAGA sheep who watched the hearings AND still defend and support Trump are willfully stupid and beyond redemption.
The bipartisan Jan 6 Commission has compiled a tremendous amount of corroborated evidence (almost exclusively from REPUBLICANS, including White House insiders and Trump associates) that Trump: . . . . knew he had lost the election, . . . . declared victory anyway, . . . . made up BS about election fraud, . . . . set the date, . . . . invited the mob, . . . . knew the mob was armed, . . . . incited the mob to fight, . . . . pointed the mob to the Capitol, . . . . tried to join the mob, . . . . refused to call off the mob, and . . . . failed to defend the VP & US Congress. Is there anyone here who believes it is far fetched to think that Trump incited the Jan 6 insurrection as a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law, and remain in power as our first dictator??? Anyone???
I think not so coincidentally, we also know nut jobs like Flynn and pillow-man were in his ear about the Insurrection Act.
My only question is that it seems a bit too complicated for everything we've seen of Trump. Maybe one else came up with it .. "Uh, would that mean I'd still get to be president?"
In addition to Hunter Biden…wouldn’t the new House Republican majority also investigate Pelosi for alleged acts (or inaction) on or around Jan 6? It wouldn’t surprise me if they go after her for not protecting the capital — what did she know and why didn’t she act? Mysteriously lost text messages will suddenly be found… … but Good Luck… … she acted like a boss: The Most Revelatory Piece of the New Nancy Pelosi Jan. 6 Footage
I don’t like to give negative rating so I will just disagree with you in a reply. Pelosi, like so many from both parties, has done nothing but enrich herself and her family since she has been in Congress. She is the antithesis of a public servant. She is one of the ruling class, and will not give up her power until she dies. She is another Byrd or Thurmond, a lifer.
