No, I am not hoping. Hope is something I can't afford. I learned that long ago.

I am waiting and seeing without making any proclamations regarding what they have and what they don't have.

It's clear there is still a lot to uncover, given the frequent bombshells we have privy to. Just last Friday we learned of Mike Lee's involvement. It's obvious with the continual drip drip drip of new information that there's no way they've uncovered all there is.

I've watched this play out sooooo agonizingly slowly, just as you have. At times I've been utterly frustrated and felt the same thing you said - if they had something we'd know. But that's just an opinion. NONE OF US really know what they have or don't have.

So maybe it's not a bad idea to step back and wait and see. But if you can't stand doing nothing, then call the members of the committee, write emails, beg them to hold these motherfuckers responsible. It wouldn't be a bad thing for them to know that the public REALLY wants to see some perp walks.

So, give a past example of when DOJ restricted congress from holding hearings. Fiendish Thingy Apr 2022 #35

Lots of folks will see it as a stunt, especially if they don't have any hard evidence. Hoyt Apr 2022 #10

No, they're not even close to issuing a report yet Novara Apr 2022 #12

Yeah, because they don't have anything, just a bunch of unconnectable dots and evidence that hardly Hoyt Apr 2022 #13

and you know they "don't have anything" for a fact exactly how? Novara Apr 2022 #15

Same way you know they have the evidence that will convince 12 jurors trump planned out a coup. Hoyt Apr 2022 #19

Mike Lee, is he one who said, "Exhaust all LEGAL and CONSTITUTIONAL means" of contesting election? Hoyt Apr 2022 #21

Lee also said: Novara Apr 2022 #23

It is not illegal to contest Elec votes. In fact, at least 7 Democratic reps tried it on 01/06/2017. Hoyt Apr 2022 #24

That isn't what he did. Novara Apr 2022 #25

Pretty much the same. Hoyt Apr 2022 #26

Not at all. Choosing electors to override the voters isn't the same thing. Novara Apr 2022 #29
