Wall Street Journal on Jan 6 hearings

Posted By Mel Maki

I think the opposite will be the case for the next Trumpster. Everybody will be ready for him and this one used up any good will that was laying around and then some. Some might say Schiff is not that far from being Trump but Schiff retains enough political sense to be better than Trump.  He still makes my least liked top ten list, though.

edit
I dislike the politics Schiff has but he is able to act more normal in situations that would be  difficult for Trump.

Some believe guns are so dangerous carrying one would never be safe (regardless of training) enough to offset the certain loss of life or limb. Yes, some are much more capable than others.

Ok, so they all stood up and took a position against Trump's fraudulent attempt and pressure campaign to overturn the results of a legitimate election. And based on the fact that they did, Trump did not overturn the election and, therefore, the Democrats on the committee are wrong and the country and Tump did not come close to overturning the results of the 2020 election!

Ya gotta hand it to a Fox news commentator to confuse and obscuate the findings thus far of the Jan 6 committee...
Do you think a lot of Dems were surprised that a lot of Reps stood up and said, "No!"

Don't know about this case. Do you completely trust prosecutors? He was an ally of Trump's but you can be sure the prosecution would not even mention your name unless you were big-time guilty and you can also be sure the prosecution would never make a mistake either? Maybe the prosecution would be less likely to go after you if you seemed to have some backing. They might deserve prison time but in that business I'd get every pardon, do over, or money back guarantee I could.
