I have much more related to the below, on what Ali Alexander did and said, related to the above, on my news thread very early Weds 1/12: STOP THE STEAL’ ORGANIZER IN HIDING AFTER DENYING BLAME FOR RIOT

But just as a start, what two others replied to Sherrills' video:

there's also this, which may be related, which I just put in group of 3 tweets by Jane Mayer on the McConell/Impeachment thread:

The military called the Jan 6 attack “sedition and insurrection.” The 14th Amendment bars from serving in Congress people who “engaged in insurrection.”

Seems to me like a big step towards barring/expelling a number of sitting members and senators. pic.twitter.com/vlxPAg1Hmg

And a former prosecutor (Georgetown Law). She wouldn’t be throwing around such serious allegations without any strong basis — at least I don’t think she would!

I bet Borat did it. He knew - he'd already broken Capitol security. I bet it wasn't even Trump on the Mall, just him.

Actor @SachaBaronCohen revealed to us the secret behind the scene in the latest 'Borat' movie when he crashes Mike Pence’s speech at CPAC.

The attack on the Capitol was coordinated and planned.

Here are the insurrectionists talking about the plan, including detailed schematics of the Capitol building.

"Richmond" is trending on Twitter because Rep. Cedric Richmond brought up the co-conspirator thing on the floor among other things (not because, as I first presumed, there is some riot going on in Richmond ):

Rep. Cedric Richmond is giving a thundering floor speech now, his final one before leaving the House to join Biden administration.

Does not mince words on GOP, saying, "some of my colleagues, some of whom may well be co-conspirators."

"Richmond out" he says as he leaves.

Rep. Richmond, POTUS-elect Biden's director in the office of Public Engagement, says that some members of the House GOP "may be co-conspirators" in Trump's insurrection.

Coolest speaker of the night.
@RepMIkeQuigley best speech of the night.

by PeraclesPlease on Wed, 01/13/2021 - 3:54pm

"Now we hear talk, of the President's notion of a peaceful transfer of power, which apparently means, what? Minimal casualties?"

"Now we hear talk of healing, after the criminal acts were completed, never as a criminal defense attorney did I say, judge, yeah, my guy completed the armed robbery, but let's heal now"

hunted down video of Quigley's speech since I hadn't seen it:

Sherrill's got together a posse of 30 House Dems:

Lawmakers who conspired with Capitol attackers in legal peril

If any members of Congress are proven to have colluded with the rioters, their position likely won't save them from criminal liability.

By JOSH GERSTEIN @ Politico.com, 01/14/2021 07:38 PM EST

Lawmakers who interacted with the pro-Trump protesters who rioted at the Capitol last week could face criminal charges and will almost certainly come under close scrutiny in the burgeoning federal investigation into the assault, former prosecutors said.

“This is incredibly serious,” said Ron Machen, a former U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. “Although you would need compelling evidence before charging a member of Congress with anything related to the breach of the Capitol that day, this has to be investigated.”

Unlike with the president, there’s no Justice Department policy shielding members of Congress from legal accountability while in office. “I’d say those are potentially viable prosecutions,” added Peter Zeidenberg, another former federal prosecutor in Washington. “I’d say those guys should be worried.” [....]

Josh Hawley's name is mud (ETTD):

We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.

Loews Hotels has cancelled Josh Hawley February “fun-filled-family-friendly” weekend fundraiser, to have been staged at Orlando property, saying Loews is “horrified and opposed” to those who “supported and incited” the January 6 attack on U.S. Capitol, reports @orlandosentinel.

Josh Hawley was boasting about working with Bernie Sanders and even AOC right before all this and Ted Cruz expressed what sort of person Trump really is before he gave in. This isn't the end of conservative philosophy, which is still happening, but it may be politically on hiatus for some time.

Meidas Touch smells blood as to Hawley & Cruz, attempting to pile on, including on Fox News:

Our dear friends at Meidas Touch will roll out a new ad blitz that targets Seditionists Josh Hawley and Rafael Ted Cruz as well as other GOPers who tried to overturn the election and incited insurrection. Their ads will appear on MSNBC, CNN and Fox Propaganda starting Monday.
