The ONLY person shot that day was an unarmed protestor. There were no weapons and claiming there were when none were used makes you look like a shrill moron.
I never said anybody was "shot." I described the weapons that were used.
Sane and honest people can read what you wrote. The insane and/or dishonest, not so much:

It tells me that the jackasses are gonna get even more desperate to stay in power so they can control the 1/6 narrative to use it as cover for their own misdeeds.
I do not think two wrongs make a right; I think Trump et al did nothing wrong. Keep on investigating 1/6 (I think you're gonna get a lot of faulty memories and a lot of diplomatic middle fingers from the GOP witnesses though), nothing will come of it. But there is some seriously evil shit going on with HRC and the turnip-in-chief that should be investigated with at least as much energy and tenacity that is being expended on Trump. And this must be spearheaded by the democrats if it is to have the laxative effect that demonic hoarde so desperately needs.
Dude, 1/6 was all Trump.
My advice is never to trust liars and both the Clintons and the Trumps are families of liars.

Of course it was! Everything is all Trump, all the time with you people! It was another opportunity to keep him off the ballot, right?
Thanks for the unsolicited advice, but if I wanted someone I "trusted" in the WH, I'd cast a write-in vote for my old Labrador Retriever. I voted for Bush 41 because he was the former director of the CIA, so I figured he was a crook on SOME level. And I'm pretty sure Trump rubbed elbows with the mob at some point, being in the building trades in NYC. The important thing was, they understood the battlefield.
HRC (and we're starting to see cracks in saint barack's armor here too) and the 'tater head crime family understand a different battlefield. They are in a constant battle to cover up colossal blunders in statecraft, and downright illegal misdeeds. So excuse me if I throw in my lot with the "liar" who took office without a salary and addressed EVERY ISSUE I WAS CONCERNED WITH TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY.
Fuck trust. These people are money managers at their core, and HRC has no discernable economic policy, and I wouldn't trust the tater to manage a piggy bank.
Awesome.
I never saw any politician as a saint. Anyone who does is a fucking moron. Another reason to require passing a test before voting.
Being on a planning committee for something proves you are involved with the thing. The law can get very expansive when it comes to a criminal enterprise. Being involved with the enterprise is enough to be involved with the entire conspiracy.
And remember, there is no need for a criminal level of proof.
They were no longer members, so you are wrong. The legal question was whether they could run again, and they were prohibited from running again based on administrative decisions. That only requires a clerks decision.
There has to be some evidence the committee was planning some type of crime and that he actively participated in that planning. People are on committees and never attended a meeting. I think a criminal enterprise might be beyond the scope of the 14th.
I'm not defending the guy, but I think those who want to see him punished are stretching the law to achieve their desired goals.
They voted to expel those members. You cannot expel somebody who is not a member. Some argued that the states did not have the power to secede and therefore were still part of the Union and members of Congress.
No, there just has to be evidence that some sort of crime was the outcome of the planning, and that "Madison" did not do positive steps to break from the conspiracy. "Madison" is quite proud of his refusal to take positive steps, and hundreds of people have been proven guilty of crimes stemming from his planning.
You finally got it. "Madison" may be expelled, but that is a completely different topic. This topic is whether "Madison" is qualified to run.
Does that evidence exist? Source?
It would have to be more than "some sort of crime." It would have to be something covered under the 14th Amendment, Section 3, disqualification clause. There is no provision for disqualification on felonies or misdemeanors or other crimes.
There have been hundreds of convictions, so I would say the evidence exists.
The convictions have been those participating in the riot or trespassing. The Oath Keepers were charged with seditious conspiracy because they have evidence of them planning and coordinating their actions.
But, I am not aware of any charges (or investigation) of a planning committee involving members of Congress. Who else was on this committee?
