10 Republican members of Congress were called out by name for their role in former president Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election and stage a coup by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
During a presentation being made by committee member Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), the congresswoman said:
“Another part of the president’s strategy involves certain members of Congress who amplified his unsupported assertions that the election had been stolen. In the weeks after the election, the White House coordinated closely with President Trump’s allies in Congress to disseminate his false claims and to encourage members of the public to fight the outcome on Jan 6. We know that the president met with various members to discuss Jan. 6 well before the joint session.
“The president’s private schedule for Dec. 21, 2020 shows a private meeting with Republican members of Congress. We know Vice President Pence, chief of staff Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani also attended the meeting.”
And then Murphy named names, and the 10 people she mentioned had better hope they have some damn good attorneys on retainer:
“At this point, you may recall testimony given in our earlier hearing by Richard Donoghue who said that the president asked the Department of Justice to say ‘that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.’ According to White House visitor logs obtained by the committee, members of Congress present at the White House on Dec. 21 included Congressmen Brian Babin (R-TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Andy Harris (R-MD), Jody Hice (R-GA), Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Scott Perry (R-PA).
“And Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was also there.”
These are the known insurrectionists and traitors who remain in Congress to this day. They need to be brought before the House Ethics Committee, placed in front of a federal grand jury, indicted, and booted from office. If they aren’t, what took place on Jan. 6 is likely to happen again.
