Rolling Stone Article: Members of Congress Assisted Insurrection Organizers; Gosar Dangles Pardons

Glenn Kirschner

In what can appropriately be referred to as a blockbuster story, Rolling Stone magazine reported that members of Congress and their staff met with and assisted those who organized the January 6 Trump rally/insurrection.

In a related story, CNN reported that five members of Trump's White House staff are also meeting with the House Select Committee and providing information about what was happening inside the White House in the run-up to the 1/6 attack on the US Capitol.

We need Glenn be named Special Prosecutor.

special prosecutor

n. An attorney from outside of the government selected by the Attorney General or Congress to investigate and possibly prosecute a federal government official for wrongdoing in office. The theory behind appointing a special prosecutor is that there is a built-in conflict of interest between the Department of Justice and officials who may have political or governmental connections with that department. The most famous special prosecutor was law professor Archibald Cox, originally chosen to investigate White House (and President Richard Nixon's) involvement in the Watergate scandal. President Nixon demanded that Attorney General Elliot Richardson fire Cox who was being aggressive in his investigation, and Richardson resigned rather than comply, as did Assistant Attorney General William Ruckelshaus. Deputy Attorney General Robert Bork finally discharged Cox.
