Liz Cheney Condemns GOP’s New House Speaker Pick As A Betrayal https://bipartisanreport.com/2023/10/25/liz-cheney-condemns-gops-new-house-speaker-pick-as-a-betrayal/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

. . . but if they already had the info, they can use it, but they will have to show that they already had it.
To prevent this from being a problem they likely question him on a narrow topic that has nothing to do with his own criminal liability.
It is bad for Trump because obviously, they are forcing him to say something he doesn't want to say.
It is good for the DOJ because they get the info they want.
It is unlikely to be good for Meadows.

A lot of people are assuming that "immunity" means Meadows is off the hook.
I also see some reputable legal commentators buying into the "Meadows flipped" narrative.
Immunity doesn't mean he can't be prosecuted. It means that anything he says after he was immunized can't be used against him.
It keeps people from hiding information by invoking the 5th.
If the prosecution learns something new from his testimony that implicates HIM, they can't use it.

Here are two free pieces of advice for non-Jewish people
If you haven't defedded a left-wing instance for antisemitism, you have unexamined antisemitism
If you take Nazi inversion seriously, you will catch 80% of antisemitism that's not a dude with Nazi flags in his avatar

uhuh.....@SarahKendzior :
"The Republicans are not looking for a Speaker. They seek a spectacle to hide sedition. Their main goal is a shutdown of government and services that benefit the public good.
They mask their crimes as scandal, their malice as incompetence, and people fall for it every time."

@samlitzinger Susan Collins is an idiot.
@IndyRichard Heh. I was called anti-Semitic for the same thing. And I’m Jewish. @Benjaminblackoak

I just got a lovely call from the rabbi assigned to my mom’s new hospice team. The conversation turned to Israel, and once again I’m always impressed with how many Jews can deplore Hamas and want then erased, while still being passionately empathetic to the plight of the mostly innocent Palestinians. He’s been out raising money for victims on both sides. I’m an atheist, but have much respect for genuine humanitarians.
@LaNaehForaday And Hitler was aiming to take over the entire world. So we’ll end the conversation.

At 3:30, a reporter asks Speaker-elect Mike Johnson, “you helped lead the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you—“
She was cut off as House Republicans booed and shouted, “Shut up! Shut up!”
The other reporters let their colleague get shouted down by these goons and then immediately asked if he’s confident he can get 217 votes on the floor.
Who cares about our democracy when there are important process questions to be asked?

@LaNaehForaday Or maybe I actually know what’s happening. Where are your sources for the roundup and extermination of Palestinians?
@LaNaehForaday Maybe you just don’t understand the word genocide then. Because Israel is not routing out every Palestinian in the state. That was the Nazi method.
@unrealfred Neither should House Republicans! @OlDude82

House Democrats absolutely should not vote for anyone as Speaker who voted to overturn the results of the last Presidential election.

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Talk about the banality of evil!

From @capitolhunters 🔥 Let's hope every GOP Representative in a competitive district realizes that Speaker candidate Mike Johnson was a litigator for the Christian advocacy group ADF that tried to overturn both the US election (with Johnson playing a key role) and Roe v Wade. 1/
Note from me: ADF is Flynn's baby and is the fastest growing scariest religious sect in the U.S. right now.....read @jennycohn ...she posts on it and writes about it in the Bucks County Beacon....very important work!

@CapitolHunters : The NYT explains how Johnson persuaded House Reps to vote to overturn the election on Jan 6. 3/4 of election deniers cited Johnson's arguments; he gave the "moderates" the excuse they needed to do something dirty. That's how fascism starts. No paywall 10/
