Does anyone yet know the names of the Senators and Congressmen who watched Power Point presentation?

...on January 4th?

Not only do the American people need to know these names but so do the people that voted for them the last time around. It was obviously a planned coup attempt and none of them reported it to the FBI. We can only assume they agreed with the plan.

Perhaps most of their supporters agreed with them? But there may have been some that do not and those voters should be informed of their traitorous act.

Did they know at the time that VP Pence did not agree with it? Did any of them raise any objections about what was planned?

If they all plan on running for re-election, the voters deserve to know who they are and just what they participated in? They do not deserve to represent the people of this country.

Contrary to what some of them are saying, there was nothing "constitutional" about their actions. They were anti-democracy and anti-constitutional. It was an attempted coup and it was in writing.

All the threats towards anyone who denied shithole the throne should have known. They should have known the clear and present danger from shithole and his comrades and yes there were quite a few GQP congresscritters there at the presentation. Prior to that, GQP congresscritters showed fellow treasoners around the Capitol Building and giving them the location of certain potentiall targets, which Pence was on the top five list.

The National Guard were told by letter to stand down. Thank goodness one of the Capitol police deterred Romney from the hallway where shithole cults were coming through because I knew if Romney were confronted he probably would have not survived.

And the list goes on and on.

To distract from an even bigger story?

Although it seems like a pretty huge story to me.

Schiff would have access to many more memos than we have seen thus far.

So, the only way to punish them is to keep them from winning their next election.

They should be branded as anti-American. Let them wear it proudly, if they wish?

It’s kind of like that saying when people keep telling you who they are, believe them. I had high hopes for the Mueller investigation. I still have hope for the 1/6 committee, but I’m starting to feel like we keep trying to play by the rules while the other side continues to cheat and lie at every turn. People are getting numb to the RW lies. Things that would have outraged people 5 yrs ago are not even noticed. We are really on the precipice.
