Rep. Adam Schiff, member of the January 6th Committee, expresses his outrage at Republican members of Congress who advocated for the negating of the 2020 election with an order of martial law by Donald Trump: "I can't imagine a more flagrant violation of their sworn oath to defend the Constitution."

throw all these traitors in prison! do the right thing DOJ

[oscarowski]

The only thing that surprises me at this point, is that these people are still out walking the streets. If MTG doesn’t get prosecuted for perjury and more, the US might as well throw in the towel.

[fBeM]

Every GOP legislator involved should go to jail.

[LynnJung]

When is the DOJ going to do their jobs?

[scipioafricanus]

Whole lot GOP HAD DIRTY TRICKS, WE OWE THE DEMOCRATS AND SOME LIKE WY.CONGRES WOMAN LIS CHENEY THANK

[chelittle]

There will be Justice either by the Scale of Justice or by the Sword of Truth no traitor shall go unpunished to the fullest extent of the law or by the blade.

[johnbrown]

What bothers me most is the secret service was in on this. But we know top to bottom we have a problem with law enforcement in this country

[darrellrees]

I think Ill take my trusty old gallows to this spontaneous event at the capitol today. I never leave home without it.

[richardtaylor]

I've studied American history but I'm trying to imagine a more surreal period of time, both socially and politically for this nation.. if this isn't an example of the old( Chinese?) curse : May you live in interesting times, Idk what is.

[RichardDonQuixote]

OFFS. HOW MUCH MORE DOES THE DOJ If it was someone unable to pay a traffic fine they'd already be locked up.

[thefisherking]

She types like a child. Her thinking is so simplistic and emotional. How do we end up with such substandard lawmakers?

[danriley]

Every decent American has to vote blue, period for the sake of this country.

[diandenmark]

Is there no one who can indict the serving politicians for their deeds?

[jenniferwilliams]

A friend of mine went to jail for an expired fishing license...sit on that one for a minute

[heatherkempf]

That, right there, if it doesn't put her in jail, had better get her out of office and never able to hold office again. Not only did she do it, in writing (her usual misspellings not withstanding - OMG she is unbelievably stupid), she lied about it under oath (with a smirk on her face) and it's an extreme violation of her oath of office, her oath to the Constitution. Get her out of Congress right NOW, today!

[jimmyhurley]

And as usual i expect no punishment for the wicked... It just takes too much work and they might call each other names...

[ddee]

Aiding and abetting is a crime. Start sending out arrest warrents.

[harumih.]

I believe that the Constitution grants the power of authority to both House and Senate chambers to remove any Congressman and Congresswoman from the Congress, if he or she knowingly and willingly violated the oath sworn to the Constitution and he or she demonstrated, in appearance and in fact, involvement in the anti-govetnment activities. The qualm is 2/3 votes.

[rebeccahenderson]

Is America ever going to get back on track???

[toddjones]

when you rely on your fellow citizens to 'do the right thing'... guess what...
