Anyone with half a brain already knew the orange cancer was responsible for it all, we're just waiting to see how they'll let him off the hook this time.

No one will suffer any consequences and he's going to win again.
There; coverage done.
Hold on a sec paladin. Beau of the fifth did a piece on this.

You know he never even reads the articles he posts. What makes you think he's going to watch a video?
At least tell us what he said....

Okay then, the rest of you watch it. Beau outlines why the DOJ doesn't need the committee to send up recommendations for stuff to happen.
I think the point of the committee is to, MAYBE, put some pressure on the DOJ to actually address garbage a little higher up the chain from the mob itself. People like Trump and Giuliani (TRIAL BY COMBAT!) used their rhetoric to stir up those people up to begin with. If nothing else, it helps to try and control the messaging around the events of 1/6 as Trump and his sycophants continue to push the narrative of a stolen election and how 1/6 wasn’t an attempt to overthrow the results of a lawful election.
Will anything actually come of it? Well, I’m not about to hold my breath. If we lived in the good timeline, a bunch of these elected (and former) officials would already be charged with federal crimes…but it’s pretty damn obvious we aren’t.

Garland would have been fine on the Supreme Court, he's vaguely left-leaning, he seems to be in favour of environmentalism and of open government, he's a reasonable and well measured justice.
What he isn't is the kind of bulldog that's needed as AG. Bill Barr, for all the harm he did, was an ideal AG.

I haven't been watching the hearings, but they're preempting the programming on every major network so I've caught bits and pieces of it. Just a few minutes ago, they played footage of the rioters, and for the first time in my life, I heard uncensored F-bombs on network TV. In the middle of the day, no less.
HA! No he won't, he's literally just saying that to foster the crowds attention because the insurrectionists are ******* folks heroes to the republicans. He has plenty of time to pardon folks before biden took over, and he did NOTHING.
I don't know, he's evil enough to do it. It's not like at the end of his term he made many competent helpers to do the hard work like making the 700 some odd pardon documents. Then he just has to mass sign them in a coke rage. No big deal.
I advise we deprive him of the 2nd term to make sure it doesn't happen.

Naw, he literally won't because if he gets his second term: he doesn't need them anymore. They'll get dumped like a hot rock and the most galling thing is that they STILL won't stop screaming for him even when he outright abandons them. It's his entire modus operandi: use people until useless and discard.
He has no reason not to pardon them, except to send a reminder to all the kids watching (because it's the kind of thing only a Saturday morning cartoon villain would do) that evil can't be trusted even by other evil people.
But Trump is a Saturday morning cartoon villain brought to life, so yeah he totally won't.

More to the point, he's a total narcissist. It gets him attention to claim he''ll do it, but he won't pardon them because it doesn't serve his wants anymore.
