Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan step forward to fight Pelosi's Jan. 6 witch hunt
American Thinker ^ | 12 Jan, 2022 | David Zukerman

Some positive activity in the political war to keep alive our legacy of liberty.

Mark Meadows, former chief of staff to President Trump, filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court, January 7, in support of the former president's claim that his official papers should be covered by executive privilege and not released to the Jan. 6 House Select Committee. The matter is now on appeal before the Supreme Court as a result of the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upholding the decision by President Biden that executive privilege is not justified to keep the Trump papers from the Select Committee. The appellate ruling from Judge Patricia Millett included the curious assertion, at the top, of "multiple" deaths at the Capitol, January 6, 2021, with the added contention that the Trump-supporting "mob" came armed with "weapons." The only violent death was that of Trump-supporter Ashli Babbitt, shot and killed by a Capitol cop. There were no reports of demonstrators carrying arms, to my knowledge.

A comment in the amicus brief goes to the heart of this matter. "For Executive Privilege to fulfill its intended purpose of allowing full and free communication among Presidential advisors, it must be able to survive a party change in the Presidency and a hostile Congress." If there were any doubt of the hostility that President Biden (and congressional Democrats) have for Donald J. Trump, those doubts should have been dispelled by the following excerpts from Mr. Biden's denunciation of his predecessor, January 6, 2022.

And here's the truth: the former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. He's done so because he values power over principle.

I will withhold my judgement of them until they show they won’t just cut and run when the pressure is put on them.

what is an amicus brief in the Supreme-Court-of-Malta
actually worth?

nothing.

it is used for plausible deniability by the corrupt GOP
who should have impeached Biden like they went after POTUS.

They should go in front of the inquest and keep asking - why is Ray Epps walking free? Why have the “matching bullhorn” brothers not been ID’ed and brought to justice? Why did a liberal blogger go free? Who was the guy inciting violence in the Capitol behind the police and why is he still free?

And, where is the video from the days events? There are cameras all over the place and yet there still hasn’t been video evidence of an insurrection by anyone.

Rep Omar said on 9/11, “Some people did something” with 2977 innocent lives lost.
But Jan 6 was a terrorist attack worse than that. Ashley was the only innocent murdered.
Enough. Disband the new DOJ Domestic Terrorism task force who plan to use Patriot Act statue to prosecute anti authoritarian types with enhancements from the Act.

As opposed to making a post on an internet board. Your courage is impressive.

How can they impeach Bidet when they don’t have control of CONgress?

If they gain control of House and Senate, then they can move forward with impeachment.

Someday people will wake up and realize that this riot was enticed (and partially orchestrated) by people friendly to the demokrat (spelled communist) party. Just ask Ray Epps.....

It worked so well in the kidnapping case against a certain governor that they thought 'what the hell? Let's do it again, these American people are so gullible'......

Why isn’t Pelosi being charged for inciting a riot she refused Trumps request for troops and refused the D.C. top cop request for troops 6 times?.
