There is a good reason why they use the term "insurrection." Insurrection historically refers to an "armed" attempt to overthrow an established government. Just for the record, none of the protesters were armed with a weapon. Back to the point. They are hammering home the word insurrection because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment uses that term - nobody can hold office who is part of an "insurrection" (paraphrasing). The target is obviously Trump. It won't work in the long run in terms of preventing him from holding office, but you can bet on three things. (1) The Jan 6 House Committee will refer "criminal" charges against Trump to the Justice Department before the Republicans take over, (2) the Justice Department will bring criminal charges against Trump and get him in a court room as soon as he runs or gets the nomination, and (3) the media will have a field day through out it all.

Why did Speaker Pelosi turn down repeated requests to send the National Guard to prevent a riot?

As far as your #2, They’re not going to wait until he runs or is nominated, they will arrest him around 30 days before the midterms

“democracy came to the brink of disaster”

It was the stealing of a presidential election that brought “democracy came to the brink of disaster”, not the protest against the steal. And you’re right, this is all about the ‘rats trying to keep Trump out of the White House, complete with show trials not unlike the old Soviet system.

lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster.

Did they hire David Copperfield?

Do republicans have any response prepared for this show trial media event?

“... as lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster.”

If this was an honest report, it would instead be speaking of showing the American public how democracy is in the middle of a disaster, after the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats.

The hearings should always be referred to by their correct name:

Liz Chaney's I Don't Like Donald Trump Cause He Was Mean To Me and My Dad Totally Official Hearings.

[Roadrunner383]

Another political clownshow.

The Dems spent years holding hearings, lying and spreading disinformation about Trump and the Russian Hoax, holding Impeachment hearings, etc.

I thought Sect 3 was removed by later legislation because it only addressed the results of our Civil War and the punishment of the insurrectionist states. It is therefore, defunct law.

And when you have video of the DC cops holding doors open to attract protesters inside, it’s not insurrection. It’s entrapment.

Show trails like Stalin in the 1930s.

Is it not now at the brink of disaster?

[Delta 21]

Shouldnt all this be presented to the DOJ for determination if there are any charges to be made before the entire nation gets plastered with bias? This shit has been the plan for the last 6-8 years. Illegal and wrong.

These people make Benedict Arnold look like the patron saint of patriotism.

I think it would be laugh-out-loud funny if a real insurrection (aka revolution) happened while they were doing their little kangaroo court TV parade.

And if everyone on that panel got processed by a very efficient military tribunal and executed before sundown it would bring tears (of joy) to my eyes.

They should all exit via an ant pile.

But that’s just me.
