Thank you Ellie; I am new to the Community & your link was quite helpful.

As a retired attorney with 30 years experience in State & Federal Courts in Northern Cal, I can supplement HRC's comment about knowing the rules. But. you do not need to know the "FRE" (Federal Rules Of Evidence) to understand DOJ criminal investigations and/ or prosecutions.

I get the Daily email updates from the US Attorneys Office in DC. You can Google "Capitol Breach Cases DOJ". The alphabetical list of Defendants (real cases) has links to the "Statement of Facts", "Complaint" & "Information". The visual evidence is the best evidentiary work I have ever seen particularly when you consider there are hundreds of pending case arising from a chaotic attack.

Some complaints have been Amended to allege Federal Conspiracy charges. Very useful work for the Judges.

Agsin, thank you for the Link. Bryan. N. California.

I'll be sending each a thank you note. Sadly, they are all being censured.

I suggest being careful with thank you notes. They will have had varying reasons for voting the way they did. And we have no way of knowing what is going on behind the curtains. If you do write, one thing that might work would be to mention something along the lines that you hope the commission will clarify what happened that day so that we all can have a common understanding, and be able to work collaboratively again. I wouldn't assume they think they are doing favors for the Dems. Their situation is tenuous enough as it is.

I was sad to see that Cathy McMorris Rodgers was not on the list....but she doesn't seem to have independent thoughts.

Agreed. Her vote was disappointing, but likely reflects the wishes of the majority of her constituents. If you’re interested, the statement her office released regarding her vote is in this article. Now we can only hope the senate does the right thing.

This is the list of the RINO’s who will have serious, well funded primary challengers come midterms.
