House republicans sure are worried that Trump only had 5 months to mount a defense for his attempted COUP.

Give me a break Trump has never not delayed (until hell froze over) every single legal action he has ever been involved in. PERIOD. FULL STOP!

🇺🇸 Temperatures in the upper-midwest were well below zero today, but the people in Minnesota braved the frigid cold, and showed up to fight for ALL OF US.

🇺🇸 I hear a lot of people saying we aren't doing enough to fight Trump's fascism. Well, go tell that to the patriots in Minnesota.

Yesterday's hearing with Jack Smith, Republicans didnt once try to challenge him on the merits of his findings. Their only argument was if Jack Smith spied on members or if he had a witness when he signed his oath. Eric Swalwell was right when he said they are lucky republicans aren't under oath.
