Across social media and in comments on the news, there’s growing consternation over the state and the work of the January 6 Commission. Earlier this week, for example, we learned that Steve Bannon, the former advisor to the former president who is refusing to sit for deposition before the Committee, won’t face trial for his contempt of Congress until
Thank you for this perspective, because, to the untrained eye, it looks like the criminals are getting away with this whole thing and will continue to destroy our country from within. We need to see the members of Congress who were in on this, go down as well. All responsible, from top to bottom, must be held accountable and the clock is ticking, louder and louder. As far as President Biden wanting to look forward and not back, unwise, at best. Surely he realizes the gravity of the situation and the dangers of not looking back on this, right?
I'm not convinced criminal proceedings are the answer for these insurrectionists. I think a 14th Amendment solution is more appropriate.
"Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
I really appreciate this information. It answers many questions I've had, especially the "what happens if the GOP takes over in 2022". I understand justice moves slowly and that there is not going to be room for error once the shit really starts hitting the fan. It's hard to have patience though when blowhard tRump is still out there touting his lies and riling up his base.

I forwarded this on to friends who will read the letter and in turn forward to more friends. We need to stand together, recruit and spread the word.

Agreed, all Bannon gets out of this is "he would probably relish the martyrdom that comes with the sentence."
“The Justice Department prioritized optics right to the end” will many a fine epitaph on the tombstone of American democracy.
You give me hope my friend.
