Time to pack the SCOTUS and balance the power.

People like Navarro are taunting, not so much the Jan 6 Committee to do something, but Garland to investigate and indict. Is this what Garland meant by being impartial: sitting on my hands, and hoping everyone forgets about Jan 6?

Throw them in jail they know they're guilty

[jeromejackson]

Great. Now go get Trump and his family.

[dianahill]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

If Navarro and Scavino are waiting for Trump to save them, they can forget about it. He is too busy trying to save himself. And none should count for much help from the GOP.

What’s the point if the DOJ won’t follow through and tucks his head in the sand and wait for time to run out

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

What's not clear to me is suppose any one of the persons held in contempt decides to avoid the hassle and legal costs and testify. Then can they just plead the 5th to everything?

How about s committee about Hunter's laptop?

Jan 6 might be a waste of everyone's times

[toddprifogle]

So....prosecute the little guys and let the big fish skate .
To do it again.

What does it say, when a country's justice department finds itself with the task of investigating and prosecuting its leadership? No one can deny that it is appalling, but even more so is the fact that these circumstances are the direct result of American democracy - the principle behind its structure and its function.

[jerryjerry]

that and 5 bucks will get you a big mac, pretty much nothing else though.

[TheCommunicationCoach]

What do they do? "whap their peepees" like Cheech and Chong said? It should be jail, and not a cushy one.

[kenbrown]

I can watch a tree grow faster then the January 6th Comity getting done the DOJ I hear nothing but crickets.

"The mid-term elctions are a pretty soft but firm deadline"...
There's that famous CBS clarity the public can count on...

Subpoena's are for everyone else. - 2022 Republican platform

[Fisarmonica]

Trump at least knows how to keep his mouth shut while watching Navarro's squawcking now that he's been arrested. Guess what? thundering silence from Trump!
