Calmes: The GOP just keeps stoking the 'clear and present danger' of Jan. 6 (via latimesopinion)
The House Jan. 6 committee will hold its final hearing Dec. 19 at 10 a.m. Pacific, when it will vote on criminal referrals and may release its report.
There’s more. Trump, who’s been silent about the officers who died in defense of the Capitol, early this month sent a supportiveto a fundraiser for the so-called patriots who attacked it on Jan. 6. He’s already said he would issue an apology and pardons to the rioters and plotters who are prosecuted, if he’s reelected. More recently, he dug lower still, calling for the “termination” of the Constitution to “throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT.
This from a lawmaker who soon will be newly empowered in the House majority and is a celebrity among the party’s radicalized base. She has emerged as perhaps McCarthy’s most prominent backer in his beleaguered bid to become speaker; if he wins despite the opposition of some of Greene’s fellow right-wingers, he’ll be in her debt.The latest case before the Supreme Court might directly implicate Ginni Thomas in one of the attempts to undo the 2020 election.
And then there are the other House Republicans who are likely to be singled out in the Jan. 6 committee’s report for various degrees of culpability in helping Trump become a truly historic president: the first to resist the peaceful transfer of power. This week we got something of an advance look at who they are.on hundreds of previously unpublicized text messages that 34 Republicans in Congress sent to Mark Meadows, Trump’s White House chief of staff, after the 2020 election.
In late 2020, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania wrote to Meadows: “11 days to 1/6 and 25 days to inauguration. We gotta get going!” Other Republicans supported having Republican-controlled legislatures in states that Biden won discard their slates of Biden electors for Trump’s, on faux fraud grounds.
