his revenge tour..

Liz and Adam stand their grounds.  History will record them as two of the brave ones during this dark time in our history. 

The Felon wants Jail for J6 Committee Members

Trump made the comments, his most sweeping since he won the election, in an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. He also said he won’t seek to turn the Justice Department on his political foes and warned that some members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack “should go to jail.”

Trump claimed that members of the House Jan. 6 committee had “lied” and “destroyed a whole year and a half worth of testimony.” 

He singled out Republican Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, a vocal Trump critic who left Congress, and Democrat Bennie Thompson, of Mississippi, who chaired the committee, saying that they had destroyed the evidence collected in their investigation and that “those people committed a major crime.”

Cheney said in a statement released Sunday that Trump "lied about the January 6th Select Committee" when he said committee members "should go to jail."

"There is no conceivably appropriate factual or constitutional basis for what Donald Trump is suggesting — a Justice Department investigation of the work of a congressional committee — and any lawyer who attempts to pursue that course would quickly find themselves engaged in sanctionable conduct," Cheney added.

Cheney called for the release of materials gathered by Smith during his investigation, adding, "Ultimately, Congress should require that all that material be publicly released so all Americans can see Donald Trump for who he genuinely is and fully understand his role in this terrible period in our nation’s history."

The committee has preserved transcripts and videos of some of the more than 1,000 witness interviews and posted them online. Some interviews that included private and sensitive information were sent to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for review to ensure that certain information wasn’t released improperly. Those transcripts remain with the agency, and the White House and a separate House committee continue to have access. 

“Honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said about the committee members, insisting he wouldn’t direct his appointees to arrest them.

Writing on his Substack newsletter, Kinzinger addressed Trump directly, saying: "If Donald wants to pursue this vindictive fantasy, I say bring it on. I'm not intimidated by a man whose actions on January 6th showed a cowardly disregard for democracy and the rule of law.

"A man too frightened to serve in the military, and a who requires a strong man like Putin to feel secure. While his supporters were attacking the Capitol, Trump sat in the White House, watching in glee as law enforcement and elected officials scrambled to protect our republic.

"Donald, go ahead and try to rewrite history. Use your platform to deflect blame, point fingers, and play the victim. But the evidence speaks louder than your words. History will remember the January 6 Committee as defenders of democracy—and you, as a man who betrayed it."

Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee and the only other Republican alongside Kinzinger, also condemned the incoming president's statements, describing the suggestion of jail time as "assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic."

In a statement given to the New York Times, Cheney said: "Donald Trump's suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic."
