#SeditionHunters - Thursday’s arrest of Alan Hostetter highlighted extremism in Orange County, CA, but even he is junior-league. We knew OC would send their finest, and here he is, the highest-profile #SeditionVIP yet: former U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA 42). 1/

Not surprised. Was this reported previously?

[babylonsister]

1. First I'm aware of his involvement. Lock him up!! nt

[marble falls]

2. Did he go inside?

[stopdiggin]

19. agree. a fairly important distinction.

hoping it doesn't need explanation - but attending the rally is different on several levels than storming the Capital.

[Lettuce Be]

20. Exactly. Simply being in the crowd is not a problem

He supports the other guy. He was there. Doesn't matter.

[joetheman]

3. He's been Moscow's man in D.C. for decades. Read up on his history.

Amazing that he wasn't run out of Congress as a traitor.

[malaise]

9. McCarthy agrees

12. Smoking gun, not a "failed attempt at humor." And the trip on July 4 to Russia by GOP delegation.

And so much more that should be hammered daily, but was just let pass.

[malaise]

13. We sure hammered this at DU

And now Putin calls the Slobfather intelligent.

[BobTheSubgenius]

32. Obvious flattery always works on the unintelligent.

Doesn't rise to the level of irony, but it's kind of funny. I can just imagine him preening when he heard that.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. I know DU is on top of it. Lame stream media is what I was referring to. Timid, spare a few.

[malaise]

34. I knew dat but wanted to stress that we were on top of it

[Evolve Dammit]

36. You were my bastion of rationality and sanity for 10 years before I posted. Thank you all.

[malaise]

38. We were all there to keep one another informed, sane and in good spirit

[Evolve Dammit]

39. It kept me sane through the Bush/ Cheney/ Iraq years that's for sure. That and numerous rallies I

will never forget (that the media suppressed). Attended one in DC that there was between 300,000 and 400,000. Only C-Span covered.
It's been a long slog since the Supremes stole it in 2000 at behest of Jim Baker and Bushes. Bolton, Stone bangin' on the glass to stop the recount. Haven't recovered from that travesty which laid the groundwork for the orange one (unitary executive, Constitution irrelevant, we create our own reality, etc.).

[wnylib]

42. That DC rally with 300,000 to 400,000

Was it in January, 2003, befote the Iraq invasion started? Jesse Jackson as one of the speakers? If so, I was there, too. The media that did report it said there were 10s of thousands present. Media went all out in supporting and promoting that war before it even began.

[Evolve Dammit]

49. I'll check my archives and get back to you. It was a busy time as US hurtled into war based on lies

Showed me how easily you can warp the message and people will follow. To this day, I would wager most believe Iraq was responsible for 9-11, if they know that much.

[Ligyron]

27. I'll bet that trip compromised a lot of them.

A honeypot full of blackmail no doubt.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. That should have been a huge news event. And it wasn't.

[Renew Deal]

4. It's no surprise that this agent of Russia is involved.

He’s a well known traitor.

[1cheapbeemr]

5. Aka Putin's favorite congressman

Shocking, not surprising

[Hugin]

6. I watched the insurrection live and I've now been viewing these stills...

For around five months as these assholes are dragged in one-by-one.

You know what I haven't seen since that were quite prominent in the real time coverage?

The white nationalist and para-nazi symbology. I know I saw it scattered all over the place. There were flags and etcetera. Granted, not as much as the Trump drag, but, a significant amount.

I have yet to see any in the evidence photos. Even in the background. The confederate symbology is also fading.

Anyone else see this going on?

[skydive forever]

26. Yeah

I’ve noticed. It’s being memory holed right before our eyes

[Justice matters.]

28. There was that disgusting traitor though:

[PatSeg]

7. Holy crap!!!

That's the first I've heard of it.

[malaise]

8. Just a reminder: McCarthy "There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

[Pinback]

29. Great reminder.

Another puppet in Putin’s Playhouse.

[oldsoftie]

10. Not clear enough to convict IMO

Maybe a computer could prove it, but those arent great shots

[Marthe48]

11. I see a resemblance

to photos of rohrabacher. Who is the Asian guy he's with? With a checkbook?

[LymphocyteLover]

14. Love how he's next to a guy with a Russian hat

[turbinetree]

15. Lock him up ....POS

[FelineOverlord]

16. Well well well. Look who took part in the Jan 6 mob!

22. Pastor Joe Pedick??!!!

Pedick???

[calimary]

45. Yeah! How 'bout that one!

[TNNurse]

17. Oh, I so want to see him being lead away in handcuffs.

[Hortensis]

18. Not confirmed, yet. I wouldn't put anything beyond this creep.

Fwiw, most of the thousands who walked to the Capitol were not violent and did not attack it. Many left in alarm when the animal roar of the mob started.

Btw, just saw that he and his wife moved to York, Maine after his district gave him the heave-ho, and they've recently gotten involved in local Repubilcan politics, in the background.

They're photo and press averse (wonder why?), but this may be from December 2020.

[barbtries]

21. isn't he supposed to be in prison?

it may not be surprising when i mention that my lost brother lived in OC for 30 or 40 years. Apparently there's only one so-called news channel there (fox).

he and his wife retired to OR but their viewing habits traveled with them. They could be Q by now for all I know; my younger brother visited them and had to leave after 2 days. This was a few months ago. In the house it was Fox, in the car it was Limbaugh.

very sad to me. i love these people and cannot stand them.

[Paladin]

23. No surprise. Rohrabacher has always been garbage. (nt)

[HuskyOffset]

24. He's a Profa Russian agent

That dude is a total pro-fascist Russian agent, for sure.

[BlueWavePsych]

25. Kick

[Initech]

30. I'm shocked, shocked! Well not that shocked.

[Jilly_in_VA]

31. Well, well indeed.

Surprised? Im not. Lock his fat ass up!

[Evolve Dammit]

37. It's Rohrbacher or I'm Elmer Fudd. Though that's entirely possible you wascalaly wabbit. Tough year.

[BigmanPigman]

40. Too baf he didn't go inside.

I think they could have nailed him for that.

[calimary]

44. Are we sure he didn't go inside?

[BigmanPigman]

46. I read on DU earlier that there is no evidence of that...yet.

[SunSeeker]

41. My former congressman. Once a traitor, always a traitor. nt

[calimary]

43. Yeah, that sure does look like Dana Rohrabacher.

SCHMUCK!

I'm both surprised and not surprised. Seems like the kind of event a jerk like him would want to be part of.

[lagomorph777]

47. Dana Russiabacker! Arrest his ass immediately!

[The Wizard]

48. The photo looks like

the extras from "Night of the Living Dead." The Congressman has deep ties to Putin.
