Top House Republicans are telling rank-and-file lawmakers they won’t be pressuring them to vote a particular way when the chamber considers impeaching President Donald Trump for a second time.
The article of impeachment accuses Trump of incitement of insurrection for goading a crowd of his supporters to surge to the Capitol last Wednesday as Congress was affirming Trump’s election defeat by Democrat Joe Biden. Five people died as the mob sieged the building. BLM stands for Black Lives Matter. Pantifa is a derogatory term for antifa, far-left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations and other events.
Trump has also addressed last week’s riot at the Capitol. He says, “We believe in the rule of law, not in violence or rioting.”President Donald Trump is at the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas trumpeting one of the pillars of his presidency: his campaign against illegal immigration and building a wall along the southern border.
He says the objective “is that there is no interruption in our continuous efforts to put the health of the American people first.” The Post says the memo described how people had been sharing maps of the Capitol’s tunnels and discussing rallying points to meet up to travel to Washington. The newspaper reported that the document detailed posts calling for violence, including that “Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Antifa slave soldiers being spilled.”The Associated Press has not obtained the document. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Army also said Tuesday that officials are working with the Secret Service to determine which Guard members may need additional background screening. Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado had asked Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to have the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command screen Guard members coming in to ensure they were not “sympathetic to domestic terrorists.”
Schumer sent a letter Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, saying the attack on the Capitol as Congress was voting to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s win was “domestic terrorism.” He said those who stormed the Capitol should qualify as “insurrectionists for the No-Fly List.”
“.....looking at....” any other time people would have been charged this is ridiculous
_Politics I think Trump was trying the get them killed.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
Seems bad
The ONLY people guilty of sedition/overthrowing the govt are Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Hillary, Schiff, Brennan, Comey, Page, Biden, Kerry and other Democrat elites who plotted a coup against the President.
Insurrection - not riot
Start your search in the House of Representatives!
Start with those who incited this. trump, Rudy, Lin wood. Cruz, hawley, mo brooks, and on and on. Get get them.
Can we charge the government for not doing their jobs for the past I don’t know how many years
Should include trump, a dozen GOP senators, the two top GOP House leaders, and another couple dozen GOP House members.
I hope they clean House.
Nothing will happen
Meanwhile all summer long
Considering? The capital was attacked by an angry mob that just left a Trump rally where he to!d them to 'take back our country'. 'Stop the steal'. Considering sedition? What would it take? Maybe if he personally lit the match that burned it down?
Another day goes by & my life is still ravaged by these sex criminal & accomplices. I’m still without the ability to repair emotional, psychological & financial damage to my life. Will someone please help me heal? Will you please help me get a FBI/TheJusticeDept investigation?
Wouldn’t it just be one gigantic kick in the ass if this all came down to Flynn, Bannon, Stone, Putin and that entire silly little Russia hoax thing?
Hopefully 45 is at the TOP of their list.
Need to start with the Republicans objecting to electoral college votes. Use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that deals with acts of insurrection by elected officials
