Democrats idea of freedom, in their sick demented and dangerous minds destroying peoples lives is such a small price to pay. A democrats idea of how to win an election has nothing to do with allowing people to vote. I guess the next Democrat plan would be for competing candidates to start ‘accidentally’ falling out of windows.

Fact check: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not tweet that governors should keep businesses closed to prevent Trump’s re-election

Reuters could not find the alleged tweet in ProPublica’s “Politwoops” archive, which tracks deleted tweets by public officials (here). Deleted Tweets from Ocasio-Cortez can be found here .

So they couldn’t find it, I guess that’s what happens when it gets deleted. Thanks for stopping by.

"The committee has washed their hands of the investigation the new congress is in session, it’s over."

The Jan6 Committee's term has ended and the investigation is indeed over. They did not "wash their hands" of it, they published all of the under oath testimony and made criminal refferals. Expect Trump to be criminally indicted this year and face trial at least for obstruction of justice.

Unlike the quest to go after Hunter Biden and try to find a crime to pin on him, the Jan 6 Committee has a crime, the Capitol Riot, and investigated the causes.
I look forward to the new House's committees and I expect they will be an embarrassing failure.

Given the opportunity they would have generated more political hay and squeezed it for every drop they could get out of until next presidential election. But as it stands, they had no choice but to end it. Washing their hands of it means making it someone else's problem so it can be said any failure to act on it, whatever that is, it's not the committee's fault. BOONDOGGLE!

I don't look foward to any of it. I thought the Clinton impeachment was a political boondoggle just as much as this Jan 6th committee and any another 'committee'.

One of my American friends on FB has got the full report(It looks like a very big book)

She's gonna read the this report.

What I ask myself is-Can she read it with an neutral mind ? I tell you she can't or couldn't stand his(Trump) guts.

The committee was established with a fifteen month time limit and could not continue until the next election. What's your point about hand washing?

The Electoral Count Reform Act has been signed by Biden and will prevent the fake electors scheme from ever being attempted again, and there are also improvements to the Presidential Transition Act so the new President Elect and the shadow cabinet get access to transitional records and resources unlike needing to sue for the materials as Biden had to do when Trump refused to cooperate like a three year old bully.

LOL. "they" had to sneak it into the 4,155 page, 1.7 trillion spending bill to do it. Kind of makes you wonder what other crap was snuck into that boondoggle of a legislation.

Typical business as usual for Congress no matter who's in charge.

I’ll say it again, they throw it someone else’s lap and when nothing happens again. They can say don’t look at us we did our job allowing all the political drama & controversy continue.

The Committee never had any power to prosecute. Try again.
