The Republican Party has far too many members who actively peddle lies and misinformation and far too many members who stay quiet about what's happening. Since this story broke how many Republicans have spoken out if only to question what's going on with Comer, Grassley, Jordan, Stefanik, Mace et al.

Not one damned one.

That's typical and not surprising. Amazing how Trump's lapdog Jordan still heads the House Judiciary Committee after already blowing off one subpoena. Now that the dots have been connected and once again, it leads to the Kremlin, it's time for Jordan, Comer and the pardon-seeking GOP congressional 1/6 participants to be held accountable.

Too bad Garland's MIA.

He always seems to be MIA. I just hope when President Biden is reelected, he appoints a REAL AG and gives this one his walking papers. Except for hiring Jack Smith, he's been pretty useless.

They Fear Exactly What Trumps Base Will Do To Them If They Speak Out!

He will do it to them anyway. They don't see this. He will do it them even worse in the future along with the rest of us if they are not held accountable

Time to look at Comer’s and Jordan’s laptops.

Comer/Jordan, heroes of a thousand riveting investigations—

Can you spell T - O - O - L ???

Can you spell S - T - O - O - G - E ???

Just be sure to pick up your Hero of the Soviet Union medals.

Especially since Jordan brags about how lazy he is- he thinks never voting for a bill even his own party's bills is cool. Seems like he is getting paid to do nothing or nothing good for the people he supposedly represents.

In the 17 years that jordan has been in congress, he has brought forth & passed ZERO bills. He does indeed seem to be getting paid to be a gossip monger & sht stirrer...nothing more.

Update...the Nevada judge who released Smirnov had his two passports confiscated. Smirnov has $6 million in cash easily accessible. There was a request today to put him back in jail since he should be considered a flight risk but no hearing has been scheduled yet. He has connections everywhere. An ankle monitor isn't going to stop him from fleeing the country if he decides to leave.

They need to stop playing footsie with these Russian intelligence spies. If the tables were turned and Russia had captured an American spy, they would never see the light of day again.

Wow, Mary, thank you. Our Congress cannot let this pass. Already it was a waste of money (what do WE pay these morons for?), and when the truth came out last week, the whole thing deflated. What else do they have to impreach Biden? It's an epic and appropriate embarassment for the GOP and the sniveling, smug Jordan. I won't forget how he used the January 6 riots to solicit campaign funds, or how he overlooked the serial sexual predator he worked with when he was a wrestling coach. Another defective human being grandstanding in the GOP.

Expand full comment

The judge let him go without bail with only an ankle monitor. He has access to $4 million between his money and his girlfriend'smoney, he has passports from two countries and had been planning an international trip to many different countries. How could this happen? Why wasn't he kept in jail?

The Ruskies will eliminate him and likely disappear the body. He's useless to them now. May not live out the week. Novachek or high window...sniper, shiv in the back

Surely the CIA et al should be on top of most of these Russian spies though I realize sometimes you give these spies some rope so you can cast a wider net.

MAGA Republicans are stupid. We'll see how well it works out for them by inviting Russia to the party. Comey and Jordan have betrayed their oath of office and turned against democracy. These men don't care what the truth is. They have criminal minds.

Frankly, neither should:

1) bathe in a tub

2) stand near high windows

3) eat anything they haven't cooked themselves

4) drink anything except something they personally broke the seal on

5) trust anyone

6) travel outside the US or The Beltway

7) take public transportation of any sort, not just questionable, poorly maintained aircraft

8) appear at public rallies

9) appear at private events

10) go to religious services

11) go to sporting events

12) rely on Uber or Lyft

Haha! I've been thinking about these MAGA morons who want to be trump's VP. When they aren't sufficiently prostrating before him, instead of (or in addition to) demeaning them with childish names and lies and generally ruining their lives, they may instead have lethal "accidents". I was specifically thinking of MTG. She is one stupid woman.

I have been thinking the same thing about Donald and his closest allies.

I love these lists. Here are some more.

Update:

4) eat or drink anything except something they personally broke the seal on or just eat food from random McDonalds (Donald does this)

New:

13) stay out of stairwells

14) stay out of elevators

15) Hire one or more lawyers (but not any that have worked for Trump)

16) Create a GoFundMe page for donations to pay for lawyers

17) Get a geiger counter to test for radioactive food (or anything else)

18) Wear gloves to prevent poison doorbells or door knobs

19) Or maybe just hide in a prepper bunker for the rest of your life

It’s almost becoming a farce! Except too serious in terms of saving our democracy. Thank you, Mary, for all your dedication.

Comer and Jordan enjoying accountability for their lies pushing for Biden's impeachment would be deeply satisfying.

I really hope both Comer and Jordan are held to account for their outrageous behavior and both need to booted out of Congress

Expand full comment

Let’s not forget, Comer, Jordan and Grassly demanded repeatedly, the FBI to give them the 1023 with this information. The FBI continued to tell them the info had not yet confirmed the info. Yet they got a court order and ran with the false info. Comer, Jordan and Grassly are responsible for this gross negligence and should be reprimanded and removed from their chairmanships.

WE MUST ALL VOTE BLUE DOWN THE BALLOT.

IF WE CAN REPLACE (143)REPUBLICANS IN HOUSE THAT DENIED THE ELECTION WE TAKE BACK THE HOUSE ITS A MUST. AS WELL SOME REP IN THE SENATE.

GOOD LEAD OF DEMS IN BOTH CAN DO SOME GREAT WORK. GETTING BACK GOVERNING, ABORTION RIGHT, TAKING CARE OF THE BORDER BY ADDING JUDGES, AGENTS, BY MAKING THE BORDER MORE FUNCTIONAL.

TEXAS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR NASTY RAZOR WIRE THAT HURT CHILDREN, & KILLED 1 WOMEN. LAW MUST BE MADE CLEAR STATES DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLAY GOD OR INTERFERE WITH THE FEDERAL GOV.

ALSO, WHY CAN’T WE ADD 3 JUDGES TO SUPREME COURT OR THEIR GOING TAKE APART THIS COUNTRIES HARD WORK OVER THE YEARS. JUST LIKE ROE. NEXT IT WILL BE GAY RIGHTS, SAME SEX MARRIAGES. LOOK AT ALABAMA! THESE RED STATES ARE GETTING HELP FROM SEVERAL WOMEN THAT ENJOY PLAYING GOD & INTERFERING IN OTHERS LIVES.

READ ARTICLE ABOUT ONE WOMANS CRUSADE TO OVERTURN ROE V WADE ABT 10year AGO SHE JUST STARTED WITH ONE GOV AT A TIME! LOOK WHERE WE ARE.

IF THE FEDERALIST & RUSSIA GETS THEIR WAY WE WILL BECOME A AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRY. WE CANT ALLOW THAT. THAT MEANS EVERY PERSON ON HERE MUST TELL AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE TO VOTE BLUE THOSE 5 TELL 5 MORE ETC. I SEE NO OTHER WAY I KNOW WE DONT HAVE MILLIONS SO WORD OF MOUTH IS ALL I CAN THINK OF.

I’VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO FAMILIES THATVBELIEVE IN DJT LIES THEY BELIEVE HIS LIES THEY TURN ON THEIR FAMILIES. MY FAMILY STOP SPEAKING FOR 2 yrs WE ARE BETTER NOW THEY STILL WATCH FOX NEWS BUT WE DONT TALK ABOUT DJT. WE CANT IAM 68 THEY ARE NAIVE TO NOT SEE HIS LIES. I PRAY THEY SEE IT WHEN HE FINALLY CONVICTED IN CRIMINAL COURT. GOD BLESS AMERICA👍🏼🦋🇺🇸 SORRY THIS SO LONG I GENERAL DONT WRITE MUCH

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

BUT I JUST ABOUT GIVEN UP HOPE THAT DJT WOULD EVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BUT THIS LAST TRAIL GAVE ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. I STILL TRULY WORRY ABOUT CLASSIFIED CASE DUE TO DJT CORRUPT JUDGE AND IF DC CASE WILL EVER GO AHEAD

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG WITH THIS SNAKE?

And the voters in their states should recall them. They have besmirched their respective states as well as our country

Expand full comment

but they are so gerrymandered - notably Comer - that there is no chance whatever that his constituency will ever (a) recall him or (b) elect anyone else, if he runs again.

The reason for the intransigency of the dumbbell Republican extremists is that they don't have to be reasonable at all - they are so secure in their elections.

If only the Supreme Court had taken on the job of overseeing fair elections, as it did in the 60s with 'one man/one vote' policies - though I have no doubt that judges hate the idea of reviewing electoral plans in detail for so much of the country.

Actual civilized democracies have independent commissions setting electoral boundaries and supervising elections. Maybe some decade the US will join them.

So either they are stupid, or they are complicit. Or maybe both?

Totally complicit and paid for. How many trips to Russia have they made?

There is a certain measure of relief in knowing that they could face the consequences of their actions. "Could" because there are still a lot of crazy people with votes out there.
