At least one PA State Senator spent campaign funds on buses for the insurrectionists ... surely a need to investigate if other campaign funds from other elected officials were used ... also corporate donors, nonprofits, NRA possibilities.

(11,092 posts)is that people keep pointing to things like hired buses ... Talk radio fundraisers, etc. Which while sad and misguided - are pretty much out in the open and legit political activity. It may be beating a dead horse - but what is really needed here is evidence of funds transferred and funneled for the purchase of tactical gear (radios?), arms, explosives, strategy meeting and exchange - showing direct links between GOP operatives and groups like the Proud Boys, Boog boys and Oath Keepers. In other words did Giuliani (or the NRA) actually transfer money to these guys? Meanwhile ditch the fluff about chartered buses!

(11,092 posts)Neither have I. But that is where the emphasis of investigation (if you're truly looking for coup or insurrection activities) should be focused. Keep digging.

You know what would be better, the DOJ, the FBI doing the investigation. The select committee doesn't have the same power as the DOJ.
