You mean all those Trump defenders refusing to answer subpoenas are being denied their right to defend themselves? They all have been given ample opportunities to give their side yet not a single one of them has volunteered to say so under oath. No a one will defend Trump under oath in front of an official hearing. They have plenty to say on Fox, Twitter and wherever else they can spout their bullshit but never under oath.

Republicans were on the Watergate Committee but that was a different time in America. Nixon had supporters. He didn't have many zealots.

witch hunters should be ignored.
this proceeding is a partisan shit show, devoid of truthiness.

Exactly. Of course, the crooked, dishonest lying fuckwits who don't want 1/6 investigated because they are guilty of treason would want to be on the Committee so they can pervert it just like they perverted their offices.

"know the truth, and the truth will set you free"
you wouldnt know the truth if it did you like this, did you like that, and did you with a wiffle ball bat.
That's what I've said. If this is hurting the Dems then why are Republicans so upset about it and spending SOOOO FUCKING MUCH TIME insisting nobody cares? Clearly somebody cares and they care a hell of a lot.
That Republican party does not resemble in any fashion the one we have today.
I didn't say they committed a crime beforehand...I said they were spreading the Big Lie and clearly defending Trump no matter what and denying what happened on Jan 6th at all costs so what purpose would it serve to put them on the committee? You and I both know all they would do is corrupt the whole process and ensure it was a failure. I mean you all want it to be a failure anyhow, right, so why are you complaining if you are already insisting it's a failure?
Its so funny how they don't think we don't see through them. It's what trumptards do.. the facts are against them, so they yell, scream, point, insult, delflect, gas light, and put up strawman.
It's the song of the morally bankrupt.

Disagreed. Results count, Fredo. If you don't like the results of your life, consider altering course to obtain a better future.

I mean I agree, but they were given the chance and refused, in what has to be the dumbest play available in their playbook. They wanted to A: be able to refuse subpoenas because let's face it, multiple republican senators and house members were more than happy to go along with the Trump shit show.
Or B: they wanted to be able to sit back and claim that the committee is partisan and just hope that the retards that support them forget that they had all the opportunity in the world to be part of it.
So far all the retards on this board claiming it's partisan theatre DID IN FACT forget that Republicans could have been part of the committee if they just voted on it, but that would have made "strategy A" much more difficult.
And that's why he didn't. Don McGahn, his former lawyer told, twump.. never testify - you cannot help but lie.
We'll never see twump testify. He's like Tucker. He can't debate in real time. That's why Tucker records all his shows. They just throw the parts they don't want on the cutting room floor.
Tell PMP there are 2 Republicans on the panel. One of them the chairman. And even if the panel was entirely Democrat, facts do not lie. All the Dems have presented are facts. And there cannot be more than one set of facts.
I would ask annata why all the GOP representatives ran to twump for pardons before he slinked away from the WH. Why would innocent people require pardons? Hmmm...
It's frustrating that nobody pushes the issue. I get that as a Constitutional matter he can always plead the fifth -- implicitly admitting that he did something illegal and that telling the truth about his actions would incriminate him. That's fine. But he should be forced to make that plea, rather than being allowed to simply decline an invitation. And that goes back to the Mueller "investigation," at least. It's utterly fucking insane that Mueller was tasks with looking into Trump campaign complicity with Russia's election interference, and he couldn't be bothered to even try to make the main conspirator answer a single question under oath. Everyone acts like it's a national priority to make sure Trump never has to testify under oath, or even to plead the fifth. I get why his lawyer is trying to protect him from himself, but why are others doing so?
It's not like this is normal. Like even when it's something utterly trivial, like Hillary Clinton's decision to use a private email server for work, we have sworn testimony in front of Congress. Even Ronald Reagan testified about the Iran/Contra criminal conspiracy (even if he mostly just answered "I can't recall.") But Trump is treated as if he were a king, who had to be regarded as inherently immune to questioning.
Tucker is such a sensitive prima donna.
