According to white house visitor logs: Biggs, Gaetz, Gohmert, Gosar, Harris, Hice, Jordan, Perry, and Greene were at the 12/21 meeting. These MoC were discussing the "Eastman theory". 
 
CIPOLLONE CONFIRMED ALL OF THIS in his testimony that the Eastman theory had no validity.

				 | I don’t always have a scotch and smoke a cigar, but when I do, it’s because the former President of the United States has clearly tried to direct a coup, committed all kinds of felonies, betrayed the constitution, and been derelict in his duty.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

				 | Trump tried to call a witness. The witness passed it on to their lawyer & the committee forwarded the information to DOJ. Former presidents are no more entitled to break the law by witness tampering than any other citizen.
 & only the guilty try to tamper with witnesses.

				 | You simply can't presume that Trump was trying to call a witness to intimidate them or suborn perjury.  He could have been planning to sexually harass them, share racial slurs, or solicit assistance in obstructing justice in a completely unrelated matter.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

				 | Republicans are currently going on Fox to try to intimidate Merrick Garland, threatening to investigate and impeach him if they take power. 
 They know indictments are coming—and there’s nothing they can do about it. They are only digging their holes deeper.

 |  Republicans have no plan to tackle inflation. But they do have a plan to increase your costs by ending Social Security, eliminating Medicare and raising your taxes.

				 | How is it that Marjorie Taylor Greene, a not yet sworn-in Congressperson, came to have a meeting at the White House w/ the President of the United States? 
 Why did Trump place so much importance on a person who was not yet an office holder and never before held any public office?

 January 6 Committee’s Bid to Prove Trump Criminally Liable for Violence Falls Short
 By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY
 If anything, the panel has bolstered Trump’s defense rather than undermining it.

Scott like many of the faithful condone Trump and his minions attempts to overturn a National election!
 
They are disappointed it didn’t seceded .   Man before country  , truth and facts need not apply .
 
But they call Democratic’s and liberals communist supporters or marxists even authoritarian 
 
Yet the only places I have seen political parties stealing election , wishing to arrest and charge political opponents and attempted coup forcing religious views on their people like trump and the GOP just all happen to be 
 
Every Communists,socialist, authoritarian  fascist regimes on the planet thru history  …
 
But like I said facts and actually actions will never sway the The Trump supporter cult of personality 
 
Even now the MAGA a cult want the GOP to investigate people out of a payback mentality not that an actual crime was committed but any conspiracy will do..  (HUNTER) to please the base  if he runs as he claims , when he loses again !  Will they beat the fraud drum again ?   Whom and what will they blame this time ? W

If that nightmare scenario doesn’t motivate you to get out and vote, nothing will.

 |  Of course they gerrymander but not close to the amount the Rs do.  And  in blue states the gerrymandering is much more likely to get thrown out than it is in red or purple (NC/Wisc) states where the voters are split bt parties but the leg. is controlled by R's.. |
