Jan. 6 revelations will 'blow the roof off the House,' Rep. Jamie Raskin says

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., suggested that the House Jan. 6 committee's upcoming hearings will be dramatic and include explosive revelations that the panel has been piecing together behind the scenes for months.

"The hearings will tell a story that will really blow the roof off the House," Raskin said.

"No president has ever come close to doing what happened here in terms of trying to organize an inside coup to overthrow an election and bypass the constitutional order," he said. "And then also use a violent insurrection made up of domestic violent extremist groups, white nationalist and racist, fascist groups in order to support the coup."

Raskin said the committee will present "evidence" that proves there was coordination among then-President Donald Trump and his inner circle and his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

"It’s anybody’s guess what could have happened — martial law, civil war. You know, the beginning of authoritarianism," Raskin said, speculating on what might have unfolded if the plan was successful. "I want people to pay attention to what’s going on here, because that’s as close to fascism as I ever want my country to come to again."

The plan was coordinated "most tightly by Trump and his inner circle," Raskin said. The panel has interviewed more than 800 witnesses, but he said, "The closer you get to Trump, the more they refuse to testify."

Give me a break. Just another unhinged liberal.

Let's see now....Trump warned of a million people arriving and urged for troops to be mobilized.Twitter deleted Trump's tweet for the demonstrators to disperse a few minutes after he posted it.

January 21, 2022:

Just what is “seditious conspiracy?”

That’s the latest count that’s been added to the list of federal charges against Arab resident Joshua James for his alleged role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

It's like ordering fries at a McDonald's.

Someone at the Department of Jesters realized that the talk about "no insurrection charges" was beginning to gain traction, so one of the lawcooks dropped a basket of fries on January 21st of this year. Not any time last year.

Voila. "Insurrection" charges, golden brown and delicious. Order up!

Would you like salt and a couple of packets of ketchup with those?

Plus, they needed one of them to plead on the double, for the optics. Enter young Joshua James.

Less than six weeks to a guilty plea in federal court [March 2, 2022].

It was like Mitt through a goose. Fresh, delicious Talking Points to serve up to any of those scoffers.

“blow the roof off the House,”

Sounds violent. 🤔

When the GOP becomes a majority they can do to Raskin what the Rats did to MTG. The Rats had a vote to strip her of her committee assignments. They can do the same to Shiff and Wadler. Throw in censures in for good measure.

Enough playing nice. They don’t.

Why was capitol security practically non-existent that day?
Where are all the convictions?

Maura Healey is the Rat Party bull dyke Attorney General of Massachusetts who's running for Governor this year and who *will* be elected.

Do you know what “seditious conspiracy” is and what it’s elements are?

No. You don’t. If you did, you would realize how stupid your talking point is.

And for the record, the better approach instead of repeating dumb Facebook slogans, would be to systematically point out exactly why insurrection doesn’t fit what happened.

But that would take work, critical thinking, and a processing elements of criminal law.

I guess that’s too much to ask of the trailer park/social media bots that we have in society today.

I am pretty sure the Clinton, democrat, media run Russian collusion hoax came far closer than this BS.
