Scott Perry and Jody Hice are new names in this regard, but otherwise pretty much exactly who we thought.

Except for Hawley.

Scott Perry is not a social media whore like some of the others but he’s been one of the worst all along. He’s in PA and was trying behind the scenes to have them send alternate electors etc. And he was the guy who connected Trump with Jeffrey Clark.

Can someone remind me which republicans McCarthy tired to place on the committee?
Jim Jordan was one, correct?

Maybe I’m stupid but why would the house committee do this and not the DOJ? And I would have assumed the DOJ already had these records anyway. Is the concurrent political process supposed to be helping? I just don’t get it.

Over 38 pages and no one mentions Ray Epps, an alleged unindicted co-conspirator who is caught on camera encouraging violence.

House rules do not “require 5 Repubs on this committee.” The House Resolution 503 called for Pelosi to nominate Republicans after consultation with the minority leader. “Consultation” doesn't mean "agreement" or "approval". It just means Pelosi to discuss it with McCarthy, which she did.
Cribbed from this amazing thread tearing apart John Eastman’s lawsuit here:

If true, probably a better fit for the OG Capitol riot thread here: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/939347.page
But all based on desperate speculation so probably not true. https://www.tampabay.com/news/nation-world/2021/11/18/theres-still-no-evidence-the-fbi-incited-the-jan-6-riot-despite-claims-otherwise/?outputType=amp

This belongs as much in the “RW vs LW news” thread but JFC; why is the media carrying the GOP’s coup water on this?

Flynn using ex-milatry against the US Government, you don't say?

Conspiracy theories about a crazy old geezer who once worked for the FBI many decades ago... And no, he didn't "encourage violence" - he actually was on camera repeatedly trying to tell people to NOT get violent.

With the level of brazen collusion shown between FOX Hosts and Meadows, there is no longer any credible thing one could call "RW News" - they are just the communications arm of the GQP.

It's beyond time that the full brunt of the military justice system and/or the DOJ be brought against these people. Our institutions being sclerotic, slow, and deathly afraid of being labeled biased is going to really be the end of this country.

January 6th was a coup attempt. Everyone in government and the media has pussyfooted around that term, but in no other country on earth would you treat this as anything other than a coup. And it's time for Biden, Harris, Pelosi and everyone else to start saying it. In fact, if Harris is leading on voting rights, have her lead on this as well. This whole pretending everything is normal and not pushing back is just not working.

I realize that's going to rile up "the base" and the crazies, but what other choice do we have?

The DOJ and JCOS are scared of these people. You think those people are going to get more “rile up” vs jan 6th? Let’s face it. There should be arrest, asset seizures, Rico charges, travel bans, etc. Each one of these a$$clowns should have 20-25 federal charges. Hannity and company need to be arrested and flown out of the country to gitmo. Once there we can “question” them with no lawyer around. The judicial system seems to have been compromised.

I disagree with your bit about using torture and going to Gitmo, but I agree with the rest of your post.

And since when does the military take sedition so cool?

According to the republicans it’s just enhanced interrogation and should be used when national security is an issue. There is an on going plot…a ticking bomb so to speak.
