In a case like you describe should the POTUS request the AG to do an investigation? Did not Trump ask his AG to investigate election fraud? Seems to me the proper steps were taken.

1876

It is the presidents brief to make sure US laws are upheld, without acting outside of laws. If he believes there is corruption in the upper echelons of a state, he has certain levers he can pull to “investigate”. No conservative is suggesting federal government pass laws to run the election. We are suggesting he may have some constitutional authority to secure evidence pertaining to elections.

Can you not distinguish between passing laws and enforcing laws?

The crazy wild speculation is flying high in this thread now.

Keep it up…the loonier the better.

State Election officials. They are in charge of the election, not the federal govt.

Preserving the data so that any evidence of fraud, couldn’t be deleted. It’s the military, are they not honest, neutral and the most apolitical?

1880

Then the Governor of the State can activate the National Guard and use them for law enforcement purposes. Under the Posse Comitatus (18 United State Code Section 1385) it is illegal to use federal military for law enforcement purposes unless requested by the state for such action.

When needed, for example natural disasters, the State Governor makes a request and then that gets approved.

That could be, I’m not that informed. I love my country though, just like you and I want an election we the people can all have confidence in that it honestly and accurately represents the will of the people. IMO there were enough discrepancies that they need to be fully and unitedly investigated. Thus far, that’s not happening. It’s one side vs another, instead of unitedly seeking the unquestionable, undeniable truth.

We know that unquestionable, undeniable truth - Trump** was impeached twice, did a very poor job in communicating about COVID and was a 1-term President. Trump** cultists can’t accept their leader was beat in a free and fair election by a senile, gaff prone old man that ran his campaign from his basement while Trump** held mega rallies (which in some cases) spread the infection.

Now when you start going off the rails with ridiculous commentary such as this, the expertise of the WW I’ve come to know and respect, diminishes.

The impeachments were scams by Pelosi and company…period. Trump attempted to settle the nerves of our country, while the MSM is yelling from the rooftops, we’re all going to die. People were panicking and Trump attempted to settle us down. It was Fauci who gave false information who was supposedly the “expert”. If I applied his level of expertise in my business, I’d be bankrupt but he gets to just change his mind and it’s all that he was wrong about is supposed to just be forgotten. Well…it isn’t.

Impeached once by a hate-driven majority anti-Trumpist house. But acquitted by the Senate. Do you want to argue that the senate was biased but the House wasn’t?

He did a good job communicating about Covid, but the big pharma lackeys in the CDC and the media torpedo-ed his good news about cheap promising therapeutics that would keep people out of hospitals and pushed only expensive new big pharma vaccines instead. Perhaps one day we will tally the death toll caused by their political sabotage.

This is what he actually said…

Calling the members of the 6 January committee “wolves [who] are going to find out that they’re now sheep”, he said that if Republicans take Congress in November, “this is all going to come crashing down … they’re the ones who in fact, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kinds of laws they’re breaking”.

Pretty audacious while the 16ers persecute at will.

1887

Saying outrageous things in the CEC universe is pretty much all he has left these days.

Oh, and selling a book.

What do you think of Gingrich’s statement? Is the Jan. 6 committee committing crimes?

1889

They are loyal to the corporate donors.

As is far too much of congress.

Is lying to the Let’s Go Brandon Day committee a crime?

Nah. Congress makes the laws. They’re no going to make it illegal for themselves to run over other peoples lives for political gain. It’s what they do. It’s one of the perks.

Yes, I do believe lying to a congressional committee under oath is a crime, or at least it is for us little people. But that doesn’t really answer my question. Do you think the committee is committing crimes and its members should go to jail as Gingrich does?

1894

Yes, agreed for the most part. But this highlights why I’m a Liz Cheney fan. She’s obviously not doing this for political gain. In fact, just the opposite. She’s throwing her political career away to do what she thinks is right. A true political unicorn. :us:
