  1. When are they going to pick up Mitch, Lindsay, Cruz, Hawley, Jordan, Trump & the rest?
    Charge them all …or charge no-one.
    “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW”

    1. @HS maybe your reply are being blocked because maybe some of the left wing media nutsmare starting to pull there heads out of there backside and treating alittle bit more fairly when it comes to idiots like you… so I hope you have a good day… I’m glad that you have your own opinions… now its time to move on like the democrats and there lies when they tried how many times ro impeach trump over the last 4 years and lost doing it

    2. @Mitchell Chandler I feel sorry for you Mitchell…you are too conditioned to see that these criminals aren’t going to let you sit on the fence.
      You will have to take a position if you want to be free.
      I am going to fight for myself….you are on your own.

  2. It is such a relief to finally have an AG who is neither a traitor nor a criminal. May American justice come back better.

    1. Only if you are a peasant. None of the people who created and directed the whole thing are getting arrested. Its all a smokes and mirrors show…

    2. Personal freedom, such a minor thing, after all they only have “Your best Interest” in mind, right? Watch the short video on the Borrowed Truths YouTube channel.

    3. Borrowed truths, the problem with people who whine about personal freedoms, don’t believe in personal responsibility, or social responsibility towards others. The anti master who demands service in a store, refuses to recognize the store owner’s right to refuse service, or admission. If you want “personal freedoms” live in seclusion away from people.

    1. @Randy Couch : A dummy ? He still has a job and a long history of being voted into office. Meanwhile, ……. the American people booted your ” stable genius.” They see him for what he is. A criminally corrupt liar, unfit for office.
      Hardly surprising. He FAILED to win the popular vote in either of the elections he stood in. In 2016 he skated in with a mere 70,000 votes in a swing state due to the peculiarities of the electoral college.
      He FAILED to attain a 50% approval rating even once in his single term, leaving office at an abysmal 29% approval rating.
      He was impeached twice and only survived conviction due to sycophant bootlickers voting the party line.
      Buy yourself some more tissues. All you ever do is come here with your crybaby antics.

    2. @cruz gallardo Message to all: Don’t feed the trolls – they love attention and will just implode when they don’t get it 🙂

    1. Richie Black, Barr didn’t even try to hide his support for Trump, he just wouldn’t support blatant criminality, just the subtle acts.

    2. Yeah – Barr obviously draws the line at attempted coups on the Capitol and chose to resign before it took affect. He knew what they were planning though, so this makes him guilty! I’m sure he has leverage on all of 45’s administration to use as a ‘get out of free jail’ card. Weak!

    3. Don’t forget foxy news murkdog using his media licence for publishing and broadcasting pure demagoguery techniques to stir and agitate the ignorant

    1. @Michael Marin you know one of them will turn in that bomb suspect. The reward is $100,000, enough for a new F-150, a mail order bride from Russia, and new teeth.

    2. @Sarah F I told everyone, they weren’t all gathering there to cause trouble, (at the capital) they were just trying to make one full set of teeth. 😂😂

  3. Donny started it. Merrick needs to charge him with the greatest crime.
    Used to be treason got you executed.

    1. He did try to bring back the firing squad…wouldn’t that be something. The number of volunteers wanting to watch that

    2. @EC Stanton, I wouldn’t volunteer to watch it. However, I would volunteer to be a part of the shooting squad.

    3. @Annie exactly…all those turds in congress who conspired to overturn the election via an insurrection…letting their dumb followers do the dirty work, thinking they’re in the clear.

    4. You’ll notice he didn’t even mention a word about prosecuting Trump, or anyone higher up the chain of command than the Q Shaman. Dems need to stop being so weak and pathetic.

    1. Gelow Brando, there were protests throughout the country, 93% were peaceful. There were right wing agitators in with the protesters according to the FBI, and a website attributed to ANTIFA calling for violence was actually produced by a right wing group intent on discrediting ANTIFA, this according to the FBI. There were three police killed by Bugaloo Bois, and the numbers for damages and deaths attributed to the riots were refuted by Snopes, Politico, Bloomberg and Forbes. The Capitol insurrection was incited by Trump according to most of the experts, and all of the people arrested so far have been Trump supporters and right wing terrorists. Impeachment doesn’t preclude criminal charges, in fact it van precede it. In this case, it will probably do so.

    2. You idiots have a short memory from last year.DEM MAYORS LET THERE CITIES LOOT,BURN ASSULT, MURDER

    1. Senator Ron Johnson said he’d only be worried If antifa attacked the White House????but the KKK can attack all day long and not a problem ?

    1. If it was that easy for them to follow Trump and lose their “morals” then they never had any from the get go.

  4. As Gimli said in Lord of the Rings “let em rot!” Throw them in jail for the rest of their lives, it’s too good for them, when we should execute them for being traitors!

    1. I’ve thought that the racists involved in the Capitol attack , should get a firing squad by a civil war gatling gun , line them up and fire . Announce as they lay there , the war is now over ! But as a liberal , I’m against capitol punishment . Isolate each one of them for life , from any source of social networking , from writing books .

    1. Everyone who entered the Capitol building should be charged with sedition, in addition to the other charges. The FBI should use every means to identify the insurrectionists, including the cell phone GPS location.

    1. She did what Trump did she appeared her results of her election but she lost by 49000 votes not by 13000

  5. The only question in my mind is whether Garland will go after the “disgraced” ex-president who called those terrorist to D.C. then incited them and told them “I will meet you at the Capitol Building”.

  6. Don’t forget about Hawley, Cruz, and all other senators/representatives that inspired the insurrection as well

    1. It is bad for the Republican’s leaders and party for not even person vote the 3th stimulus package because 75% of 328 million Americans needed it Republican party only think about election only they didn’t care about the America people

    2. @don juan true, but if they Bring up charges it’s because they have evidence like phones calls and informants. Also these people won’t be judged by corrupt senators. Although the right all white jury could act in similar fashion

    3. @Hugh Dougall – I’m sure AG Garland has them in his sights. If anything, Congressmen should be held even more accountable. They’re supposed to know better!

  7. Guy drove a pick-up into our prime minister’s residence gate with rifles in the back of the truck. He just got 6 years. Hello from Canada

    1. There is no justice but you know what? If we went to try to stop the wickedest man for GOOD. We would be thrown in prison for life. WTH!
