And they should all be arrested and thrown in jail for treason & crimes against humanity. Everyone damned one. Will they ever?
The GOP Congressional members continue to lie and obfuscate the facts about Jan. 6th. They prove their corruption and ignorance. They do not serve Americans but their own corrupt interests.

Kryvyi Rih is Zelensky's birthplace. I was a PeaceCorp vol. in Ukraine, a beautiful country w/stunning cities & lovely rural villages where friendly people welcomed a stranger, made me feel at home. This was Kryvyi Rih before Putin destroyed it, aiming to turn UKR into a wasteland he can rule over.
