I am pretty sure I read earlier they actually have 5 days from the 6th to hear objections and finish certification.

Trump replaced all these Cabinet members so they wouldn't invoke the 25th Amendment when this happened

Butter · 01-06-2021, 04:17 PM

This was as close as a direct attack from one branch to another as we're ever likely to see... unless they fail to act. Censure and sanction isn't enough

Edward64 · 01-06-2021, 04:20 PM

Trump is politically untouchable. Yeah, we would like to think otherwise but for all practical purposes he won't be politically held accountable for (or hurt much by) this.

The GOP on the other hand, Dems need to do something here.

That will never happen. Only 13 arrests. We get more arrests in Chicago during pubcrawls.

I heard on NBC that there were just too many to arrest so they will be reviewing social media, capitol building cameras, etc... to identify and charge the rioters.

Something I didn't think of, they should probably operate on the assumption that every computer in the Capitol is compromised.

There were literally thousands more being arrested at protests over the summer.

We let people go because there's too many to arrest sounds like a great way to police.
