With Republicans taking the House, the fox is in the hen house. >

I baited one of those clowns at work once. I was basically calling him and people like him cowards in a quiet and polite way. But, I did it within earshot of our HR VP which the dude never noticed was there.
He got real angry screaming that I was a fucking moron and then kicked and dented a filing cabinet.
Soon after he was put on a 'Perfornance Improvement Program' but then he went on stress leave and I never heard from him again. >

Shit watch your back I bet he’s got a list your prob right under hunters laptop and the Hillary Clinton. >

Actually, he had no idea I did anything intentional.
To him I was a dumb liberal who didn't  know any better and it was just bad luck he lost his temper in front of the HR VP. >

The libs got him again.  If you’re blaming liberals that’s your life went to shit maybe you’re the problem.  And prob vote against your interest. Lol >

A lib did intentionally get him in this situation though >

It’s not mandatory to beat the shit out of office furniture because you got your fee-fees hurt, though. Snowflake ain’t got nobody to blame but themselves. >

I don’t know I personally wouldn’t push dumb peoples buttons especially in a work environment >

Considering half the USA no longer requires any kind of permit to carried a concealed gun, I am shutting the fuck up and staying the hell away from people who even seem a little off.
There may be a small number of people willing to go on shooting rampages, but living in America and never had been around one feels like I am playing the odds. >

This feels like uncharted territory further into fascism. >

It's not uncharted territory though. We seen this play out almost over and over again when various other countries were taken over by fascism. We know where this is going, we can see where it is going. Yet we move slow to actually hold these people accountable >

Spell it out for me, please.  Major void in my education.  All I can guess is if something happens to a previously anonymous witness, then no one will be willing to testify again.  But, what historically happens at that point?  People in power are no longer held accountable for crimes? … and that means they just stay in power? >

So it's a little more complex than that.
Here is a very good quote that explains it better than I can, but if you need me to expand as best as I can let me know!
"But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

Thank you for this.  I’ll let you know if I have any questions. >

There has never been a more anti-patriotic political group than the Republican Party.
Shame! >

They define themselves as patriots because all those brown people don't belong here. They're not fighting their own kind.
Not that I agree with them, but it's important to get inside their heads if we're going to defeat them. >

It is non-white people, but it is also not non-white people.  Their entire philosophy relies on Othering some group.  
If they got their Magic Genie wish and all the people of color, and the homosexuals and trans persons disappeared today, they'd be after a different group tomorrow.  
If there were only three of them on an island together, two would ostracize the third one.  
It's a requirement.  Hate is all they have. >

Is it bad that I fucking hate them for it? I hate Republican politicians and I despise the rubes that vote for them. >

With republicans being this way is it any wonder why our allies don't trust the US? >

You mean like how Trump showed classified material to the world and let everyone know how advanced our satellites are? >

Or how all the CIA operatives suddenly were all murdered afterTrump took office >

To be fair our huge CIA network in China was rolled up by the MSS under Obama's administration.  Many of them killed, some were even shot while at work Infront of their coworkers. >

I hadn’t heard about this prior to your post, and I’d like to think I follow news relatively closely. Thanks! >

Yea no problem my friend.  It's a pretty chilling story, you could look it up and try to find some articles on it, theres also a YouTube video about the whole situation.  If u can't find anything on it I can try to send u the link to the video. >

So Republicans turning again on other Republicans. Business as usual. >

Do they need witness protection from Republicans doxxing them? >

Not just doxxing; but also violence, and threatening of lives. >

It wouldn’t be any “fun” for them if the GOP doesn’t get to publicly harass and dox anyone who cooperated. >

The fascist assholes who don’t value life have no morals just like trump. They won’t give thought to the danger they will put those witnesses in unleashing the nut cases in their base upon them. >

You’re assuming that it’s not deliberate. They want them too scared to speak out next time. >

On one hand you have probably a lot of people who deserve no harm, and I don't want to see any of them exposed for their safety.
On the other hand I'm curious to see which Trump family members flipped on Daddy.
If it's gonna happen, I at least want it to sew chaos back towards Trump, but damn I'd rather it not happen at all. >

That's the fun part, when the GOP committee controls the evidence they get to selectively choose what names come out. >

So when Trump goes 3rd party we’ll get to see who among his nearest and dearest burned him? Ok. Sounds like mutually assured destruction. >

The traitors are still in positions of power.  What is being done to remove them? >

Watch the GOP leak the identities, stoke violence against them, then turn around and blame Dems and the committee for “endangering the lives of patriots” or something stupid, then use that to stoke even more anger and violence.
I would love to be wrong. I hope I am. I also know how the GOP operates. Causing a problem and then blaming it on democrats is their modus operandi >

Because the insurrectionist republicans are out for revenge. >

Quick way to ensure no one wants to testify in front of congress about sensitive materials ever again. >

So, GOP "retribution" is coming for those who told the truth? >

I mean... they literally put Valerie Plame's life at risk and destroyed her career as a CIA Counter Intelligence Officer because her husband criticized the White House so... why would this be any different? >

Because now it's against communists who want things like eugh social healthcare. So it's objective truth that doesn't care about your feelings, it's very different
/s >

I could just see them subpoena those anonymous witnesses, put them on TV, just to harass and badger them, just for retribution and for daring to speak out against Trump and the MAGA Republicans. >

how are there not more protections against this? >

Cause the Republicans don’t care about the safety of witnesses >

I’m sure all the names will be published by infowars within hours of republicans taking control. Complete with home, work addresses and favorite route to and from both. You know, for the causal reader. >

Time to acknowledge that the rot goes deeper than Trump. As Republicans undermine the trust of the United States, no one will believe anything we promise. This is not new: look at the history of treaties with indigenous peoples. It took decades of work to establish our credibility and now we’re squandering it on a partisan pyre. Biden may have regained some of our stature in the world but the Republicans are now readying bushels of banana peels to throw in his path. >

And Trump hasn’t even been indicted. Imagine the nightmare these poor bastards are going to go through at the hands of the GOP if he is. >

The fact that Garland hasn't moved on any of these investigations is incredible; I wonder if he's being paid off or threatened for his silence and complacency? >

Silence is just how the DOJ has always conducted themselves, until Jim Comey decided to sabotage the Clinton campaign in 2016. You should expect silence from the DOJ, because releasing information publicly makes the prospect of a conviction less likely. The fact that they have been so tight-lipped actually means an indictment is more likely, because if they had decided not to indict then they wouldn't care about sabotaging the case with public disclosures.
With regard to actions taken or not taken, there has actually been quite a lot of activity in the past month or two if you look at court filings. Special Counsel Jack Smith even personally made filings on Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
Even just the fact that Garland chose Jack Smith, whose entire career has been spent going after mob bosses and corrupt public officials, most recently at the International Criminal Court sending the Prime Minister of Kosovo to prison on war crimes charges, shows that Garland and the DOJ are serious about making the best possible case that the facts and the law will support.
If Garland weren't serious about this, he could have made a declination decision on his own without appointing a Special Counsel, or he could have appointed someone a lot less aggressive. >

The clowns are in control now and they’re trying to get all of the info and data back from the national archives >

The GOP have done it before, and they’ll do it again. They have no shame >

Because of Republicans seeking revenge… it’s the same thing that happens any time whistleblowers speak truth to power. >

Those witnesses need to go into witness protection immediately.  Trump's fans like to murder their opponents. >

GOP has to know that their only chance to gain power in the future (or not lose anymore) is to move on from January 6th and Trump.
Stop talking about it.
Stop defending it.  
If they dig up these witnesses and start releasing files from the J6 Committee it just drags out the whole thing even longer. >

But are they smart enough to connect those dots?  Recent History says no. >

Destroy the documents in Trump style. >

Hope the people stay safe the nazis are most likely.chomping at the bit to break some glass.... >

The problem is if the Republican house leaks the names of anonymous witnesses, no one will be willing to testify next time. All according to fascist plan. >

Because the new assholes ate going to out them? >

And the committee has waited until now to be concerned over their witnesses' anonymity and protection? That's unbelievably irresponsible; there was always the possibility that the Republicans would have the opportunity to endanger witnesses. >

There is no way to have the witnesses speak and forever protect them. It is not a matter of not worrying before but pointing out the always inescapable reality that the GOP would harm them in revenge. >

And what does the GOP think will happen when the Dems come back into power in as soon as two years?  All the damage, corruption and excess they do will be put up on display.  Yes Fox News won’t talk about it, but history won’t be kind and neither will the electorate at some level. >

They're betting that all their manipulation of the system will keep them in power. 
Thankfully they didn't get nearly as much power as they thought they would this previous election, but they're still going to be pushing forward with wrecking the democratic process so they can try to mess with the next one even more.
Hopefully they won't succeed in that, but it is their goal. >

Then whats the fucking point >

Wow.  Here we go. >

The GOP can't even get the 118th Congress started. What a bunch of losers. >

“Will not ensure” >

Good, it should be in the open >

And MAGA-ites shouldn't threaten with lethal harm those who speak out against the orange shitgibbon and his high priests of the turd-cult, yet here we are. >

Welcome to American politics 101 >

Then what are you good for?
Why can’t you protect your most important people? >

A Select (temporary) Congressional Committee has no authority to do anything after it is dissolved. The standard rules of the House would have another permanent committee (like House Administration or Rules) handle further requests or privacy concerns. That means these records will be in the new majority's control. 
These witnesses are probably not anonymous in the files sent to the DOJ, so this "warning" is just reminding them, that protective orders and/or watching for witnesses intimidation might be necessary. >

That’s what happens when you command/force people to speak on record. >

How many years has it been? Lol we'll all be dead before this committee gets anything out >

They already released their report.... Keep up bruh >

Don’t like the sound of that, but it’s not a big deal in relation to Jan 6th. >

So what did the January 6th Committee accomplish with it's which hunt besides wasting time and taxpayers' money?  Now let's look into Fauci, Hunter Bidden’s laptop, the FBI cover-ups, etc. >


Hunter Bidden’s laptop

What will we find on Hunter Bidden’s laptop?  Source? >

Dad was in on the action $$ >

Sounds like those witnesses can sue the federal government then >

Well they lost the house so…..
