Every single person you named needs to be tried for sedition. Let's hope the televised hearings in May have the intended effect, legally and on the 22 and 24 elections.

Aye! Those HSCJ6 public hearings can’t come soon enough! I loved what Rep Raskin said last week: The testimony will blow the roof off the House. 💥🇺🇸

Thanks for another great piece Filey. I cannot WAIT until we get televised hearings where we can see all the #TreasonWeasels large & small squeal! I absolutely detest these motherfuckers, and want to see EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM. go prison for a very long time if not for the rest of their lives. #NoQuarterForSeditionists 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I -think- they are slotted for the first part of May —but the 4/22 filing was a MOAB and I sort of think (it’s a leap of faith) that Main DOJ has already launched an investigation into Meadows… but back to the public hearings. My biggest concern is the weaponization by the Trump-Republicans of the HSJ6 findings. Trump is a financial whore. Everything is transactional for him. If the HSCJ6 keeps the finding of facts a-political then perhaps some of the Indoctrinated MAGA cult can be de-programmed but I’m kind of concerned about pushing too far into late spring & summer —knowing midterms are a blink of an eye away. I hope that makes sense

I hear you. I will say this though. I have a lot of faith in Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin's ability to stick to the facts & state them persuasively. Bennie Thompson is an astute political scientist. I'm really hoping he will allow these two gifted attorneys to present the committee's evidence. Time will tell.

Thank you, File-y for this! I appreciate the breakdown! We can only hope the televised hearings will have the intended effect of the 22 and 24 elections. I ask your opinion here; do you believe it will happen? Will America see justice for the J6 attack on our democracy? Will we see the likes of those you listed held to account for their activities? Anyway, Thanks again for all your work! We appreciate you!

I genuinely believe the camps have already made up their minds. Meaning it might be difficult to punch through the Trump-MAGA screaming goats. A few weeks ago I jokingly texted a friend on the bill. The discussion revolved around “how to deprogram indoctrinated cult members” and my friend was like “damn you called this in 2016 that Trump is a cult leader” and my response was but have you or your bosses read:

“Deprogramming, Brainwashing and the Medicalization of Deviant Religious Groups

Thomas Robbins and Dick Anthony” this might behind a paywall but it’s worthy of reading

https://academic.oup.com/socpro/article-abstract/29/3/283/1647170?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Because that white paper is kind of extraordinarily detailed on how to deal with cult members and deprogramming.

? RE Justice -I genuinely believe YES but it might take longer than many of us want.

? RE Accountability <-I’m an eternal optimist, there for I’m inclined to say YES there will be accountability. Again it just might take longer than many of us expect.

Thank you! Yes! I believe it is a cult and have family in it. I am relieved you believe there will be justice and accountability at some point. And thanks for the reading recommendation, I will check it out.

My pleasure and glad you find value in my research

The value of your research is incredible. I was employed for approximately 30 years in the legal field as a paralegal in the admiralty insurance defense field, and additional years in general civil litigation. Your depth of knowledge is at such an advanced level, I find it difficult to believe you are not a well-seasoned attorney. While I was a valued staff member during my working years, you are absolutely the crème de la crème in your field. Thanks for all you do.
