Can the former administration "run out the clock"?

[BrokeLoser]

I've never belonged to a political party, and I could never be a Democrat.

Lots of progressive extremists like you aren’t registered Democrats….they just always vote Democrat.

trump called the Jan 6th rioters a "bunch of loser retards" because they failed to restore him to the presidency.

trump doesn't want that known.

Please post that quote with a source.

MY GOD! Assemble the firing squad!

Obviously the Justice Department wouldn't bring a case unless it was confident it would win it. I assumed that was obvious.

Still waiting on some interesting, on-point responses.

Sure, Jake

The Republican strategy is to run out the clock and hope for the best in the mid-terms. Despite all the talk that it will be a blow out, I am not all that convinced it will be, at this point any way.

At any rate, I am also not convinced that all the Trumpers not complying with Congressional subpoenas is a great strategy either. What are they all afraid of?

More and more evidence will leak out that the insurrection was more coordinated from the top than thought.

If the Republicans gain the majority in 2022, they will attempt to sweep the investigation under the rug.

Regardless of whether there are indictments, I expect the insurrection as well as the "Big Lie" will be a great part of the 2024 presidential election, especially if Trump is the nominee.

Yeah, there are many pieces to this. Over 300 interviews so far, and we have no idea what they have. No doubt they're trying to get people to flip, and that could happen at any time.

And at the same time, while these guys are sure as hell going out of their way to LOOK guilty, who knows if there's really anything there.

What an incredible mess we have created blindly following personality's,& abandoning principals.

I'm glad I've triggered you again. For the ten thousandth time. Tough shit.

Mac you’re becoming more of a predictable prog extremist with each passing day…haha
“Should you make me look foolish and disagree with my position I’ll claim you’re triggered and refuse to engage or I’ll just pretend…I WON!”

Maybe we have some people here who are knowledgeable on this stuff.

While the Jan 6 committee is still relatively early in the process, some facts have come to light that certainly indicate that the former administration (a) played a significant role in the planning of the insurrection, and (b) shared plans (such as a freaking Powerpoint, of all things) on how they may be able to overturn the 2020 election, and (c) is trying to leverage the slow justice system to "run out the clock" on the committee, with the assumption that the Dems will get their asses kicked in 2022 and the GOP will immediately, obediently and shamelessly silence the investigation.

So, two questions on this:

1. What do you think the chances are that they can successfully "run out the clock"? I've seen predictions all over the place on this. Some think they can, some don't.
2. If the Justice Department actually goes forward with specific charges, say, "conspiracy to commit sedition", that would take it out of the hands of Congress and the GOP in 2022, wouldn't it?

Trump Is Trying to Run Out the Clock, But He's Running Out of Time

The D.C. Court of Appeals hit him in the gut with a ruling that even the current Supreme Court will be loathe to overturn.

You can never run out the clock on a witch hunt.

This is self-inflicted. Our system allows for this, it enables this, and it incentivizes this. We have to fix our system.

They have nothing. The fact that all you retards are waiting breathlessly for this "committee" to indict Trump for something, Just like both impeachments, your fantasies are never going to become reality.

The paramount “PRINCIPLE” to be adhered to by the President Of The United States is so simple……Follow along, get this, all they are required to do is be a good president. They are not required to verbally coddle you and Mac1958 nor are they required to fill the role of father figure or pastor for those seeking mentorship.

Mac1958 Food and fuel prices are skyrocketing, Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, Covid infected illegals are pouring across the border, murder rates are at an all time high. Just a few things you might focus on rather than the FACILITATED break in of January 6th.

Okay, got it. That's actually an answer of sorts.

You think they would learn from the 2 year Mueller investigation farce. But they never do, they swallow the same bait every time.

I'm not sure what the issue is. When the gop takes the maj in the House, they will have maj's on every committee, and the dems' investigation will end. I'm not sure what the point of the House investigation still is. Apparently no one has found evidence that Trump explicitly ordered the capitol and congress be attacked, or that Trump's campaign financed the riot.

You’re misleading yourself AGAIN. What he’s saying is; beat that case of severe TDS and post about the shit that SHOULD actually matter once in a while. This would help you gain some credibility here among the sane folks not owned by Trump.

 

[candycorn]

Of course they can run out the clock.

Not only that...they will run out the clock.

Congress is a child branch of the government with zero power at all.

No way to know. The fact that they're ACTING so guilty doesn't count.

Lots of assumption-making, but no meat yet, agreed.

 

[MarathonMike]

I just did. It was a facilitated break-in of the Capitol. It took two to Tango, you had a few dozen angry Right wingers who were aided by Capitol Security in their misguided break in. That is why the Capitol police chief immediately resigned.

The "planning" of the Jan 6 demonstration was legal and authorized by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. For some reason bi-polar lefties seem to think the right of the people to assemble is now illegal. In a just world, rogue elements of the FBI would be charged with treason for their role in using a foreign agent to obtain fake documents to undermine the President of the United States. Stealing a beer out of Pelosi's frig pales in comparison.
