  1. It was like that Liar Liar movie.
    “What’s your defense?”

    Tr*** Lawyers: “phlabammajammarammalamba”

    1. @Intelligent Design which straight path? what do you mean straight path? there is no path?
      we are all standing in the fridge, fingers pointing up our butts shouting Hooray, I’m a lollipop!

    2. @Intelligent Design Translated, you just said: “waaa waaa,waaa twumpy wumpy lost mummmmmyyyyy mummy snot fair waaaa!”

  2. Remember who helped craft their lies… i mean defense…. *cough* teddy cruz, linz Graham, whats his butt lee…. remember voters.

    1. For those sleepy sheep Democrats. WAKE UP, the evil Democrats and media, that you follow and support are Satanic Pedophiles who stole the election and are doing all they can to destroy America and the fabric of society. The innocent children and babies that they murdered for parts and adrenochrome in the many 1000’s are supported by you.

    2. @Intelligent Design bro I literally seen you write the same dumb stuff on another video if you really believe that then you are literally a sheep yourself Republicans do not have Clean Hands nor are they any better if anything they’re worse

    3. @Intelligent Design As Green Party I feel so bad for you that you can’t see the clearly immoral behavior of the Republican Party. I see now why they say you all need deprogramming.

    1. @Mikko Kivisto, writes _”t’s just that we tend to use “Congress” to mean the House of Representatives colloquially”_

      It’s much more common to refer to the House and Senate, and use Congress to refer to both.

    1. I can’t help but be reminded by the name “McCarthy” of another with that name…a certain senator from the 1950s named Joe McCarthy. A rabidly insane man. Google it, and Google the “McCarthy era”, etc.

  3. They completely switched tactics since Graham, Cruz and Lee met with them last night. “Antifa”, “witch-hunt” …. felt like I was listening to FOX “NEWS”.

    1. The ANTIFA boogieman name they came up with was lazy and not thought thru. Makes my brain hurt when they scream “ANTIFA fascists” that is like trying to describe ice as hot.

  4. Democrats should limit the number of witnesses to stop the enablers turning the court into a silly filibuster.

  5. Didn’t the same guy say something like “If they tell one lie, then everything else is probably lies as well”?

  6. At the time of the riot all Trump wanted was to delay and stop Pence confirming the count. Trump didn’t care who got in the way. Trump and Family should all be on trial for inviting the violence by there rhetoric when they spoke to the rioters.

  7. Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell lied to Congress, and went to prison for 19 months. Nixon’s first Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, lied to Congress and went to prison for 18 months.

  8. Just think for a moment if pence or others were hurt or killed would that give trump the reason to invoke Marshall law???????

  9. Write or call your Senator’s. Voice your vote. They represent you. Let them know what you believe. Otherwise they will think you are ok with their bad decisions.

  10. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and he was buried, and he rose again the third day, and he is offering everlasting life to all who will believe in him.
