House Democrats who led an investigation into former President Donald Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol riot say they are worried about their safety and being arrested if the former president wins reelection.

They fretted to CBS News in a recent piece about a March 18 Trump post on Truth Social that said former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) “should go to Jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who has consistently fundraised off all Democrat investigations and impeachments of Trump, told the network, “My wife and I have had conversations about what life would look like if the worst happened… . You can’t avoid the conversations about ‘What if?’ And I have to think about my own personal safety.”

I think it’s a stretch for President Trump to be prosecuted for 1/6.

People that trespassed, fought with police, etc? Not close.

[nonliberal]

He’s pissed now. I think he will.

PAYBACK IS A BITCH

[BrandtMichaels]

You raise a good point - all those running such deplorable prisons get to go to prison too! It’s a big party plenty of room for everyone.

[SunkenCiv]

Cheney's not a D (at least doesn't claim that label), so it's not just them.

In lieu of jail or prison, they should swing. And left there to rot.

I see several ways around that.

(1) Have a GOP House repudiate their immunity based on violation of Congressional ethics and then have the Trump II Department of Justice prosecute them. Sure, they are likely to win in the end, but bedevil and bankrupt them in the meanwhile.

(2) Fashion criminal charges of conspiracy based on associated conduct, like their destruction of evidence or suppression of testimony.

(3) Call them to testify before Congress and then prosecute them for any lies they tell. Since they are Democrats, they seem likely to tell quite a few whoppers under oath.

[FreedomPoster]

That was my exact reaction upon reading the headline.

[fuzzylogic]

But they know what they did was just a circus proceeding. What they’re really worried about is that the same might be done to them. I don’t believe for a moment that there wasn’t anyone that wanted the result to be prison. What if the roles were reversed, they know somebody would be trying for that even if doesn’t end up happening.

They’re just scared the other team will do what they did.

[nagant]

They have to keep voters from being able to vote for Trump because he’s a threat to our democracy.

[nagant]

Hoisted by their own petard?

I WOULDN’T JAIL THEM.

SEND A F’N MESSAGE OR GFY!

[Chode]

it wouldn’t be a bad idea, LOL, yup...

[Brown Deer]

They deserved to be in prison for treason against the United States.

“Rep.

Trump was President for four years and didn’t put Schiff in jail then ... so there’s that.

Indeed!

 Leviticus 24:17-22 ESV

 

17 “Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. 18 Whoever takes an animal's life shall make it good, life for life. 19 If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. 21 Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. 22 You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.”

 

 

 

Matthew 5:38-42 ESV

 

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[a] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

Liz Cheney can head the national “Republicans for Biden” committee. Don’t think her Wyomingites will be impressed

[suijuris]

Just one more good reason to vote for Trump
