The only ones armed were the Capitol Police.

Billy Williams is a colossal ahole.

These US Attorneys proclaiming they will prosecute Trump supporters are appeasing Biden to keep their jobs for 4 more years. It could end up being a litmus test for all appointments. “How many Trump supporters are YOU prosecuting”?

Thanks for the correction.

He still has a problem. He has to have evidence that his target committed a crime. By itself, traveling to DC is not a crime.

Too bad he can’t use his brilliant mind to find crime in Oregon...like maybe in Portland.

I have never seen so much craziness and I am pretty sure I am the oldest person on the internet tonight.

I have never been as big of a fan of law enforcement as some conservatives. I just know that they’ll be the ones on our door steps demanding we hand over our forearms someday. But for the time being, I’m happy to ignore them as they seem to ignore me. But I know that some things will never change even if Joe Biden is president; like black criminality for instance, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens the next time a cop shoots a a black thug. It is going to be thoroughly enjoyable watching that shit show I think. Coming this summer, I’m sure.

Say, U.S. Attorney guy or gal or whatever you self-identify as, how’s those protests in Portland going?

President Trump should fire every US Attorney on his way out.

make it a daily ritual to exercise with your arms.

It can relieve stress

Famiiarize yourself with the action, safety, sight adjustment, like at the optometrist office, reading magazines like at the doctors office, always be sure to have plenty of magazines on hand to read, practice rapid magazine changing, so that it will be like muscle memory when the time arrives

According to the article all options are on the table in terms of charges. In other words, they are looking for any possible reason.

And yes the hypocrisy compared to how Antifa is treated is sickening.

Oh, they’ll drop all the charges once they find out they were leftist antifa radicals posing as Trumpers. They’re probably on George Soros’s payroll.

There was no armed insurrection. Is the Oregon U.S. attorney a Soros’ bot?

The state would have no standing here.

The infraction did not occur in-state.

IIRC, the tradition is for presidents to fire all US attorneys upon taking power. Trump reappointed Obama’s choice. Yet another mistake in a long line of mistakes because he got bad advice. Obama’s US attorneys have obstructed him and actively gone after him throughout his 4 years. It’s amazing how his dismissal of some of these people was framed by the media and the Democrats as indicative of a hankering for dictatorship. This also happened under Dubya. My impression is that the Dems are projecting their goals upon the GOP. Which is why I have repeatedly said that a Gracchi moment may be coming.
