When one reads this full time line, you can't help but think that Trump should be hauled off to jail immediately and have the key thrown away.  Or even worse:  Treason.

 

For all of the people all ready locked up, justice has been served individually, but justice hasn't been served corporately until the ring leader is tried, convicted and put away for life behind bars.  There is no excuse and no cover for this treasonous rat.  To incite people to attack our capital and to later allow it to continue is a clear and present danger to our democracy and Trump needs to be held to the highest standard of the law.

Rep. Liz Cheney’s disclosures of intriguing Jan. 6 text messages between Mark Meadows and both Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News personalities are the big news in the committee’s investigation right now. But don’t lose sight of what Cheney said immediately after she read those texts aloud.

In summing up the texts, Cheney (R-Wyo.) said, “Mr. Meadows’s testimony will bear on another key question before this committee: Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’s official proceeding to count electoral votes?”

 

A casual observer might have missed it, but what Cheney was doing here was pointing to a specific criminal statute — a felony, 18 U.S. Code § 1512 — that she suggests President Donald Trump might have violated. And both its inclusion in her comments and the timing of it shouldn’t be lost on anyone. This was a Republican member of the committee floating a specific potential Trump crime that the committee apparently wants to drill down on; it also came shortly after a federal judge upheld the use of the statute in a key Jan. 6 case.

Cheney, on Tuesday morning at another hearing, cited the statute again — pretty much erasing any doubt about how deliberate this was.

Cheney’s comment matches the language of the statute. It states, “Whoever corruptly … obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” That law defines an “official proceeding” as including “a proceeding before the Congress.”

It also comes after notable development

 

s on that particular statute: A federal judge ruled last week that the law could be used to charge a Jan. 6 case — involving Capitol rioters, at least. The ruling was a win for the Justice Department, which has used the statute in more than 200 Jan. 6 cases, although defendants have been fighting it.

But....the reason Republicans don't like her is because she doesn't talk about issues.

 

Yeah...right.

 

She, almost single handedly, will be looked at as the hero of the Republican party through all of this historically.
