I have heard this as an excuse but did not think the GOP is so stupid to pursue this publicly.

Will they be dumb enough to call Pelosi as a witness. Caution, Pelosi is not Hillary, she is smarter and meaner. If she does show up, I suggest she wear her now famous white pantsuit with a MAGA hat.

Here is an interesting twist to Trump's 2024 candidacy.

Quote:
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) informed former President Donald Trump in a letter Thursday that they intend to seek his "disqualification" if he announces his presidential bid for the 2024 election.

CREW, an ethics watchdog group that uses "aggressive legal action" to hold government officials accountable, asserted Trump should be disqualified from serving public office for his actions during the January 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol, referencing the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
From this article, it seems the group has already succeeded in booting out a NM county official for participating in an 'insurrection' on January 6th. Would be quite interesting to follow this.

Here is something else interesting about Trump, he once called late Sen. John McCain a loser for losing the election to Obama. Now who is the biggest loser of them all and a cry baby to boot?

Quote:
After Trump recalled McCain saying something that Trump considered an insult to him and his supporters, "I said, 'Somebody should run against McCain,' who has been, in my opinion, not so hot. And I supported him for president! I raised a million dollars for him. That's a lot of money! I supported him. He lost. He let us down. But he lost. So I never liked him much after that, because I don't like losers."

Amid audience laughter, the moderator, Republican pollster Frank Luntz, then interjected, "But he's a war hero!"

Trump responded, "He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured."

Later that day, Trump retweeted, with seeming approval, a web post headlined "Donald Trump: John McCain Is ‘A Loser,’" that recapped his exchange at the summit.

The only two aspects of our constitution that Trump is truly interested in are the First and the Fifth. In the First, he can say whatever he wants with impunity and in the Fifth, say nothing if it implicates him.

"U.S. Constitution à la carte" as taken by some conservatives Oddly enough, some view the Bible the same way.
