So If The Tr**p/Johnson Meeting Was To Set Up A Reason If Tr**p Loses In Nov......

a reason to contest the election as he did the last time.

Perhaps even to have an excuse to incite another insurrection.

Would Johnson be considered a co-conspirator in the plan?

1. Members of Congress have immunity

under Garland. (see Scott Perry)

8. See the whole damn lot of them.

Guilty as sin and free as birds.

2. Dont trust "speaker" Johnson

to do the right thing.

3. The current house is not the one that acts on

the certification. It will be the next session. Hopefully a Democratic Speaker will run a normal certification.

4. Johnson was a key player in the last insurrection.

Representative Mike Johnson, the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.

9. He learned how to do it better next time.

5. Except that such a meeting is unnecessary. They all know what to do,

and they don't need a reason or excuse. Johnson and TFG don't need to coordinate to be on the same page, because the rules are both simple and public knowledge.

The lesson they learned from 2020 wasn't "don't try that" but rather "don't make a half-assed gesture, go all the way."

It is a naked power grab and abuse of the process, and they will do it if they have the numbers. The only way to stop them is to have the numbers -- i.e. get every possible Dem elected to the House and Senate.

11. Johnson can refuse to seat them

As the current House Speaker he can refuse to seat enough newly elected Democrats so we don't get a majority. There was a Supreme Court case about that back in 1969, but the current SC would happily overrule that

6. I would hope so

[Irish_Dem]

7. Members of Congress have no consequences for their treason.

For the overthrowing of the US government and the overturning of a presidential election.
And for selling out their country to Russia.

The DOJ doesn't want to look partisan.

10. Trump's going to claim the election is stolen again when he loses.

But I think it will fall on increasingly deaf ears (except for his cult, of course).
