I don't think people understand that she said that what was entered into the record was everything she had. There was not going to be any new information.

let her.

Hopefully the press will investigate more and GA and NY will indict trump on charges. I'm not hopeful as it doesn't feel like he'll ever face true justice.

She said she would testify to what was entered into the record. There would have been no new information. We got the information entered without her needing to testify.

It would have been a waste of time to call her to testify and the result would not have changed.

,... for causing a public uprising with injury and/or death.

I do not know their laws there. But hopefully something is on the books that allows his indictment.

Throw the book at him.

There would never have been enough votes to convict. No matter what.
Now let's get on to the more important job of passing Joe's agenda and clean up the mess trump left.
