Moments ago, the Jan 6 investigators disclosed the names of Republican members of Congress who sought pardons for their roles in Trump's attempted coup.
PBS NEWS: "An aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told the January 6 committee that Republican Representatives Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Scott Perry all asked the White House for pardons."
These members of Congress echoed Trump’s false claims and were directly involved in the scheme to overturn the will of the people.
With every hearing, evidence pointing to the full scope and nature of this attack on our democracy mounts. It is time for Merrick Garland to do his job. Failure to hold ALL those who broke the law legally accountable will allow future attacks to succeed and the threat to our democracy will only grow.
We will deliver signatures to Merrick Garland’s office and share the support for this petition with the media and key allies in Congress.
Americans are now seeing the factual evidence of a criminal conspiracy that started long before the violence on Jan 6 and that -- as has been said many times over the course of these hearings -- continues to this day.
This was -- and still is -- an attack on our vote, our voice, and our democracy. The threat will continue and grow until those who broke the law are held accountable.
We must hold those involved in this criminal conspiracy accountable -- even if they are former Presidents or members of Congress -- in order to protect our right to vote and choose our own leaders.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
