He can’t even be a fair loser! This man doesn’t care about anyone, or anything, only himself. He’s a very sad person.

[digitalcurry]

Dear Howard Dean, Thank you for saying it ! To finally SAY IT. Hold traitors accountable. Put them in jail.

[ellendoyle]

They need to indict all the members of Congress who knew and helped with this attempted coup too. No one is above the law. I do not care if their trials take years. They should not be in government nor allowed to still spread their hate. The Secret Service needs to be taken apart and restructured, if kept at all. There is plenty more information that we all need to see about who the money backers were too. Thanks Ari.

[roncantrell]

ALL of the Congressmen and Senators who were in on this need to be prosecuted and removed from office

[moiraesfate]

Whoever deleted those files in the secret service should have already been arrested.

[Taecoconut]

Americas really screwed up. The fact that those people haven’t been prosecuted and in jail yet shows how terrible their system is

[lushoberg]

Please, please, please make these traitors face consequences! Especially trump.

[TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Howard Dean said a few things that, up to now, I had not heard from anyone and my guess is that he's got a few more things on his mind to speak about in that regard -- I'd like to hear more from him

[richardjohnson]

Not only did people once face the firing squad for this sort of thing, but in many places and times you might end up choosing between a rope or a guy in a black hood holding an axe

[ToadyWoods]

I really can’t believe the Secret Service has not been held accountable or even disparaged to any significant degree. I hear very little suspicion towards them.

[elainejohnson]

Ari and guests were awesome. Very clear in describing the tough situation our country is in.

[zombieowen]

"Either omission or commission." Well said, Mr. Dean. It's nice to finally hear someone use the word traitor.

[isadorasmith]

Absolutely agree with the statement about the Secret Service needs to be reorganized

[leonarddarson]

Our DOJ must hold all these offenders accountable and bring them to a trial by judge and jury.
And to do so without delay in the same manner as every other citizen of America. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT but the same EQUAL JUSTICE as afforded the common citizen.

[billyrubin]

Back in the day, traitors used to be executed. These days, they’re not even prosecuted. WTF!

[BaldwinBay]

Secret Service is no longer a secret.
What a Gang of Traitors.

[mehere]

Needs to be more sharing of the footage of Pelosi, phone call asking Pence if he's ok & telling him that he should not tell anyone where he is so as to keep himself safe in the capital building on Jan 6th! That's what shows true leadership & appropriate respect for others in the government!

[barryvyner]

It gives me a small measure of hope that two intelligent, rational people who occupy important positions in your country, have stepped up and said in very plain and forceful language what most of us have been shouting at our screens for quite some time - do something decisive about this loose cannon who is clearly without any moral compass and who will, if not stopped, gleefully destroy the democratic process in America for his own aggrandisement.

[gailbrault]

Correct about the secret service something not quite right going on!

[annacarmona]

I agree that punishment is needed for everyone that had anything to do with 1/6 including leaders that were aware of the plan & said nothing allowing it to happen. They should not be allowed to hold any leadership position.
