It’s A Good Day For Democracy! The January 6th Committee has subpoenaed five Trump Allies And Elected Officials. The Investigation Has Obtained Overwhelming Evidence Indicating These Officials Were Involved In Some Way With The Illegal Attempt To Overturn Joe Biden’s Overwhelming Electoral And Popular Vote Victory. GOP Reps Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, And Mo Brooks Will Probably Violate The Constitution Once Again And Ignore The Subpoenas, Which Is A Crime.

“Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th,” Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss, said in a statement. “We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done.”( NPR, May 12, 2022).

These are the faces of some of the most corrupt Republicans in US history. They are credibly implicated in the plan to overthrow the 2020 election and are spreading lies about a fair democratic election being fraudulent. Their goal is to protect Trump’s weak ego and restore him to power as an unelected autocrat. The Jan. 6th Committee must refer them to the Department of Justice for contempt charges if they refuse to comply. Their evasiveness is making them look like they are hiding criminal behavior.

These individuals were invited by the Committee to appear voluntarily to testify and they arrogantly refused. Trump taught his allies well. The most crooked president in US history modeled lying, violating the Constitution, obstructing justice, mishandling classified information, evading taxes, sympathizing with Putin, violating foreign policy norms, embracing white supremacists, and inciting an insurrection. In addition to those crimes, Trump also tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election, is promoting the “big lie,” that he won the election by a landslide, and supported a plot to insert fake electors to steal electoral votes from Joe Biden. The five Republicans subpoenaed today are credibly implicated in the plot led by Trump to overturn the election.

He’s a supporter of the “big lie” therefore a conspirator in promoting the overturning of a free and fair democratic election. He was also credibly accused of covering up the molestation of many members of the Ohio State wrestling team. Jordan is an angry, disrespectful man and undeserving of the honor of serving in Congress. He was on the phone with Trump the day of and the day before the insurrection. If he knows nothing or knows information that could clear him or Trump of wrongdoing, why would he avoid testifying? Avoiding subpoenas or taking the fifth is a sign of guilt. Don’t these stable geniuses know that?
Rep Scott Perry spoke at the Stop “The Steal Rally” inciting a dangerous level of hostility in the mob. Any member of Congress who lies to Americans about the election being stolen should be indicted for treason. Everyone, except disordered Q’anon members, knows the election was determined to be the least fraudulent election in US history.

Although Trump loyalists reject facts, facts are provable and undeniable. It’s time for legitimate members of Democratic and Republican media outlets to drop hyperbolic, dishonest opinion journalism and report news that can be corroborated with facts. Fox, aided by Mark Zuckerberg’s insatiable hunger for money at the expense of democracy, are in support of autocracy over democracy. The base of the Republican party are people who have lost their moral compass. There are plenty of conservative Republicans to support who don’t lie, or violate the Constitution, or support racist, misogynistic policies, or believe in conspiracy theories or cheat. 75% of Americans recognize Trump is psychologically abnormal, dangerous and is using political power for personal gain.

The media has to stop giving power to the anti-American, hypocritical, faux religious base of the Republican party. Stop talking about their “powerful influence.” They are in the minority. They don’t want to Make America Great. “Great” means honoring the Constitution, not a perverted version. “Great” means embracing diversity, not trying to eliminate it. “Great” means protecting the integrity of the free press, not supporting the Russian- borrowed phrase ” fake news” against reporting you don’t like. “Great” means treating each other with respect and compassion, even in disagreement. President Biden has rightfully labeled MAGA as an extremist political movement to destroy democracy.

This is not America. This is a needy, angry, uneducated group of people that Trump targeted for their votes. Trump’s an elitist snob pretending to be a friend of the common man. His base should read more of his past comments about people. He wouldn’t admit any of them into Mara-a-Lago to hang out.

Trump is being investigated for business fraud, tax evasion, election interference, election fraud, inciting and planning an insurrection, rape, and violating the Presidential Protection Act and the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. Because Trump is a power-hungry puppet, he followed the corrupt playbook of  Senator Mitch McConnell and stacked the federal courts with federalist conservatives and illegitimately placed a Supreme Court Justice on the Court three weeks before the next presidential, after denying consideration of Obama’s pick for a seat on the Court 9 months ahead of the next presidential election. McConnell himself has been investigated for corruption and his ties to Russia #Moscow Mitch. The five newly subpoenaed members of Congress are now swept into the Trump vortex where careers and reputations die.

Additionally, it is disturbing that the majority of the Trump base claim to be religious Christians; however, they act like hypocrites or people who have never read the teachings of Jesus. Instead of pursuing peace and brotherhood, they are degrading the country with anger, hatred, unfounded superiority, bigotry, and belief in conspiracy theories. Those who plan to vote for “big lie” candidates should be stripped of their right to vote for supporting those who plan to steal future elections that they lose. Reading the words in the Bible and behaving in opposition to them will guarantee those who believe in salvation are destined to be denied it.

Constitutional Scholars like Harvard Law professor Lawrence Tribe is concerned and frustrated at the inaction of Attorney General Merrick Garland toward Donald Trump.
