Members of the special committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol are hitting back at President-elect Trump after he called for their imprisonment, saying the criminal conduct surrounding the rampage was committed by Trump and his supporters, not those who probed the tragedy afterwards.
The lawmakers on the now-defunct panel, which featured members of both parties, maintain that Trump’s threat to prosecute them puts him in league with tyrants who break laws with impunity and punish anyone who seeks to hold them to account.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. Prisoners get no Healthcare and crappy food. Staff turns off water as punishment.

If you broke the law, then you should be held accountable!! Simple as that.

This would be Jan 6 instigators, not investigators. The members of that group were part of the process to invent an "insurrection" which never happened.

Well, thanks for the correction!
Here I thought the 'Rats were 'sending a message' by pulling FBI agents off of gang and sex-trafficking investigations across the country and assigning them to track down every last Granma who set foot on the Capitol grounds -not in the building, just set foot on the grounds- on Jan 6th, and then locked them up in the DeeCee Jail for years without a trial.

How about suing them for wasting taxpayers money and bankrupt them before imprisonment with the funds paying those who were unlawfully imprisoned and tortured.

The rampage was caused by left-wing agitators. There are pictures of the Jan 6th protestors calmly walking through the Capitol, a public building, that they were allowed into by the guards. The only gunshots were through a closed door by a Capitol policeman. Meanwhile ANTIFA and their ilk were raising hell outside.

How about arresting them and throwing them in the jail where the jan6 prisoners have been for years. These prisoners have not had trials so treating that gang of real NAZI's would be appropriate. No wonder they are scared. They are guilty!!!

Trump's enemies warning him not to do to them what they did to him. Hypocrites all. They should be scared of the upcoming investigations into their behavior.

Here's a clue: Innocent investigators do not withhold and/or destroy exculpatory evidence. Start packing for the graybar resort.

No Republicans on that panel just Democrats and two never Trump RINO pieces of scum.
They had a so-called investigation that cost a ton of money and then they tossed away the evidence.
If Trump was guilty , why no charges against him, they had their shot.
Bastids.

Yeah... The message is "Don't use the power granted you by we the People for your own personal power trip."
That's simple enough. You are supposed to be our "Instrument" to deal with people who are real threats to our well-being. When you misuse it, you will lose it, and new people will be deciding if you should be punished.

That message came from nearly 80 million of us as well as Trump. You J6 committee liars and traitors should start packing your little bags in preparation for a long prison stay. No sharp objects, nothing with alcohol content and no drugs. Uniforms supplied by the state.

A crime is not a crime if a Democrat commits it. It's not printed in the NYT in those exact words. But has been the Rule of the Land. THAT is exactly what 75 million citizens were voting against on Nov 5.

And how will Lizzy explain the hostages that have been held for years with no legal right to justice before a court of law.....even the shooter in New York has already been before a judge and it's only a few days....no folks...this ja6 committee was on a political mission and they didn't care who got hurt...so have at it President Trump...send Pam Bondi after them as soon as you can...these hostages need relief from their imprisonment....

Certain democrats ran for office with the specific intent of 'getting' Trump, before he did anything. Did Lizzzie destroy J6 evidence, yes or no? Were government agents and antifa in the crowd on J6, yes or no?

lizzardzinger thinks it can slither up and over the legal boundries, arrogance unnoticed...
by creating its own deal, w/ its own privilege, w/rights to its own 'laws'
-protected by gangsta nan and all that gangsta money.
she's another one who should be stripped of her insider-trade millions,
the mansions, and the ice cream...to provide for veterans, multilated children
and so many ppl in ca. ruined by her gang of crooks.
