It was entrapment plain and simple. I saw with my own two eyes-- a male Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat literally begging police to call in backup, and they stood there kinda smiling and did absolutely nothing.

[Vanessa-okys]

A lot of people in the federal government need to go to prison.

[ThuPham-lxrc]

Please let’s them free. Those people love the country. God Bless America!

[CarolineEmory-rzpe]

Stop with the talking-ACTION is needed. FREE those in prison. Put those accountable in prison for 20 years each.

Liz Cheney needs to be investigated. She has extreme close ties to the secretary.

[davidcollvins]

We know what happened. Treason we want people freed from prison, and we want accountability.

[vickeyhoward]

Please HELP THOSE PEOPLE JAN. 6, 2020!!

WHY ARE SO MANY BEING HELD IN JAIL FOR THEIR BEING A REPUBLICAN? THEY MUST BE RELEASED NOW!!!!

[ronthomas]

When will the “Select Committee” be prosecuted and held accountable for false reporting, altering evidence, destroying documents, and other crimes?

[amandabirky]

Its taken 4 years of innocent people rotting in a horrible prison for nothing! This country should be ashamed of itself! One innocent woman was murdered by a crazed security guard who was scared of a tiny woman. Disgraceful!

[lisanixon]

Did you all get that!!! The National Guard was PURPOSEFULLY HELD BACK WHILE WAITING FOR DEPLOYMENT 2 MILES AWAY.

[j.sumner]

One shot was fired in the Capitol. It killed Ashli Babbitt.

[rustichillbilly]

Media needs to broadcast this to the same extent they reported the false narrative!

[havfh]

The only reason to get rid of evidence is because it doesn’t actually support your case

[kathleencarver]

Meanwhile, three years later, people are still in jail....pathetic.

[sueporcari]

Finally truth is coming to light! Thank You Rep. Barry Loudermilk

[jcbz_]

When you speak the truth in an empty room.

[cheeto.]

They still call it an Insurrection but NOT ONE PERSON has been charged with Insurrection!

[ForeverKnight]

Donald Trump deserves an apology from mainstream media, Congress, and most of Palosi.

[samanthaw.]

Yes, does anyone remember Benghazi? Has anyone ever been held responsible for incompetence? Just saying
