Should This Conservative Judge Be Charged For Treason??

[Biff_Poindexter]

Former federal Judge Michael Luttig has stark message for Jan. 6 committee

Luttig, who advised Pence on his role in affirming the 2020 presidential election, will tell the panel that Trump's efforts to thwart the election meant "America's democracy was almost stolen from her."

"Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig, a staunch conservative long admired by many Republicans, will testify before the House's Jan. 6 committee on Thursday with an urgent and stark message for the panel about former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election: "America's democracy was almost stolen from her." Luttig will also likely state that the Republican National Committee is wrong to have referred to some of the events of Jan. 6, 2021 as "legitimate political discourse" and warn fellow conservatives to not ignore the gravity of what Trump did as he scrambled to hold onto the presidency that day.


One person familiar with Luttig's planned testimony said he sees his appearance before the committee as a serious and sobering moment similar to an appearance before the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump ally John Eastman, a former Luttig clerk, authored a two-page memo, embraced by Trump, which argues that the vice president could take steps to delay the certification and allow for states to send alternate slates of electors for consideration by Congress. Pence's former counsel, Greg Jacob and Luttig counseled Pence to avoid doing anything to rupture the congressional certification of the election — and to disregard advice from conservative lawyer and Trump."

The Dems are weak and stupid -- yet, also brilliant and powerful enough to make life-long republicans do their dirty work for them....Now we have this so-called respected Constitutional Conservative judge --- who is willing to throw away his reputation just to claim that the Vice President doesn't have the power to overturn elections?? Are you serious??? Every one who has just a cursory knowledge of the Constitution knows that the vice president absolutely has the power to overturn the election....It has happened before, just over 20 years ago....Al Gore refused to certify the election and tried to steal that election away from Bush.....the Dems even tried to intimidate Congress to force them to overthrow the election and block God's anointed candidate -- and if it wasn't for the Supreme Court -- we would have been robbed of Bush's leadership over the next 8 years......So this belief that Vice Presidents can't overturn elections is false.....However, if that darkie whore Kamala believes she has the power to do it, , she would be wrong, because the framers never intended for darkies to have that power, so she would be disqualified.....

Now I expect the usual Trumpers on this message board to do what they normally do -- deflect from the actual facts -- but what you won't see them do is -- explain why they believe a Republican vice president could refuse to certify an election, but a Democratic vice president can't -- at least, they can't explain it without looking like Anti-Democratic illiberal hypocritical morons....

The questions of what motivated this, and who caused that, are just like any other generalizations. Some of the rioters wanted to destroy the System and install Trump as a permanent President, and some were just showing their anger what what appeared to be a stolen election.

The pity of the one-sided 1/6 hearings is that they provide no opportunity to present the other case, and imminently dubious information is presented without challenge.

There are some reputable Republicans, including this retired judge, whose opinion is very much against the President and his supporters, but the public hearings will present NO Republicans who can offer rational rebuttals or other explanations for what went on.

They are a disgrace. Nothing more than an attempt to slander 45 badly enough so that he won't or can't win in 2024.

Meh, rehashing old news is not going to help you come November.

In other words, the motive is more important than the act itself?

So, if your house was robbed, you would be very forgiving and not press charges if the perp's motive was to feed his family?

As for your other claim that there is no opportunity to present the other case... whose fault is that? Other than Cheney and Kinzinger, Repubs refused to participate. So, losing their chance to present their side of the events.

You got to hand it to the Repubs. If they can find a way to lose, they will.

Luttig is a John Roberts clone, who is way past his sell-by date.....yawn

Thats a bit of revisionist history isnt it? The R's didnt decide to not participate they werent allowed to have anyone they wanted to participate do so by the D's. If I were a prosecutor I'd like to pick the defense attorney too.

 

[wamose]

This ridiculous J6 investigation would have died a long time ago if the media wasn't so invested in the bogus idea of insurrection. J6 is a conclusion looking for justification.

That's because the Repubs wanted the committee to seat Republicans who were themselves the subjects of the investigation. You can't have people who are suspected of a crime sit as a jury on the same case. Sorry, doesn't work that way.

The Dems will use and abuse any Uncle Tom they can find.

Does it matter that some of the people present on 1/6 didn't intend to participate in an insurrection? There is no doubt that some of them did intend to overthrow a legitimate election. Those are the ones that the comission is rightfully concentating on.

Yeah it’s just a coincidence that the only people who the committee didn’t suspect were the same people who voted to impeach Trump as well….. Even you dont believe that

 

[Leweman]

No. Most in the media should be charged with treason, though.

Dems wanted to name any pro-DT person or simply those with common sense that recognized the clear election anomalies as subjects of the investigation so they could not provide any balance or sanity to the commission.
Sorry, doesn't work that way.
Not if you want non-progbots to see it as legit in any way

What the fuck are you yammering about? Do you seriously believe that those who took part in the insurrection, should be allowed to sit in judgment? Are you that much of a retard?

If the Repubs wanted to participate, they had ample chance to do it. They blew it. Now, that they find that people are interested in the proceedings, they are regretting their lost chance to chime in. Whose fault is that?

Prove it. Cheney can hardly be called pro-DT. But hey, prove that a Repub who did not participate in the insurrection wanted to sit on the hearings but was denied. Go.

What insurrection? Are you talking all the hundreds of burn loot murder & Imafa riots? Didn't the whole Dem party encourage those criminal thug POS?
You call unarmed people walking through the capitol after police let them in an "insurrection".
This is why I laugh at you, you're all such bed wetters & scared of everything.

Do you even understand the rules that the burden of proving an accusation is on the accuser?
Probably not

 

[Canon Shooter]

The reality is that John Q. Public doesn't give a flying fuck about these hearings.

They're making the democrats look like spoiled, insolent children, and that's not going to be much of a help to them come November...

And you are a retard. What the fuck do you think the hearing is about? You have two conservatives along with Dems holding a hearing because some tourists visited the Capitol?

And you retards wonder why no one takes you seriously.

Don't care. The hearings are for the low IQ types that believe their UNiparty nonsense. Like yourself
Good luck with that Maganus
