JD Vance
The Public Record
50th Vice President of the United States in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Ohio.
The intelligence community doesn`t operate absent narrowly constricted circumstances against U.S. persons inside of the United States.
DOJ is going to have to face the decision that’s in front of them, the decision about whether or not they’re going to take some action to hold the former President accountable for his efforts to obstruct justice.
It’s very clear that the former President doesn’t believe in winning elections by convincing the American people to vote for him.
This is a man who asked people to violently eject protesters from his own rally.
I think we`ll see a lot of challenges. We`ll see civil rights groups, we`ll see parents. We`ll see perhaps even the federal government intervene to try to stand up for the First Amendment rights of children who are being educated.
The vice president’s role is ceremonial. He doesn’t have the ability to overturn counts. His job is to accept the counts that the states have certified.
The big lie was the truth, that there was fraud in the 2020 election, and that everything that they did was legitimate because of that.
Congress will take steps to amend the Electoral Count Act, so that it’s just off the table completely.
I think, Ari, that it highlights how difficult the challenge the Justice Department faces is. These are large numbers of defendants who have to be assessed and processed.
If Congress can`t legitimately look into an insurrection and determine how to prevent the -- a repeat of what we all saw take place at the earliest part of this year.
The committee is learning the lessons of the past and moving forward in a way that`s having a big impact.
A judge denied a request to block the January 6 subpoenas, saying -- quote -- 'There is no basis to conclude that Flynn will face immediate and irreparable harm.'
The January 6 Committee has brought on board some very experienced former federal prosecutors, some very experienced investigators.
The Democrats can’t become the party of lock them up. We saw how dangerous that was when Trump supporters perpetuated that sort of role and sort of whipped mobs into frenzies.
I might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton. I didn’t vote for Trump because I can’t stomach Trump. I think that he’s noxious.
This 17-year-old boy saw no one protecting the businesses, the people his community. So he went down there and did it.
And it seems very clear that that happened in this case, whether she`s ultimately convicted or not.
The ultimate question is not did they talk to the White House, there is very little doubt that they did based on the way this is laid out in the subpoenas in other reporting we`ve seen.
There is more than enough, much more than enough for serious investigation on multiple fronts here.
People have to have confidence in the criminal justice system, and we see a lot of cases prosecuted for crimes that are far less serious than insurrection and sedition.
