@Haironfire22 @BrandonStraka The American Revolution produced elections.

January 6 was about rejecting one.

History doesn’t become analogous simply because someone waves a flag while doing it.

@GadSaad @BernieSanders “I disagree with Bernie” is an argument.

“Bernie contributed nothing” requires pretending decades of legislation, committee work, constituent services, and public office never happened.

"drain the SWAMP in our intel community."

Guys. What are we doing here? Our intel community is full of Americans who have defended the country against bona fide terrorists.

They are not enemies. They are unsung heroes.

Many are ex-armed forces. Others have put themselves at risk in other ways for the benefit of the country. Others have spent countless hours analyzing some of the most vile behavior in order to make the country safer.

Are a small number of them unethical? Maybe.

Are a small number of them politically motivated? Maybe so.

But the majority? Absolutely not.

Stop demonizing broad swaths of Americans. Especially Americans who have dedicated their professional lives to defending the country.

"Drain the swamp" might sound cute for politicking. But you're governing now. And these are real humans.

.....................

On a separate note: stop acting like such a victim. Trump has now been president for six years. He completely controls the Republican Party. And the Republican Party controls Congress. You're not the David versus Goliath anymore. You're not the underdog. You're not the rebels. You're the Republican Party establishment.

Federal cases are expensive” is an argument about why someone might accept a plea deal.

It’s not evidence they were innocent.

You still have to explain the convictions at trial, the videos, the texts, the planning documents, and the defendants who admitted the conduct under oath.

Cost may explain the plea.

It doesn’t erase the evidence.

@GregoryKBovino @CRNC @uscollegegop @KatieZacharia @ImFiredUp2 @RESUM26 @HeritageIndiana @OldPatrolHQ @StefanoLforte Calling it a ‘movement’ is the easy part.

Explaining how you deport millions of people while respecting due process, staffing the workforce, and paying the bill is where the homework starts.

@BrandonStraka If your compensation program can’t survive judicial review or congressional oversight, maybe the problem isn’t the review or the oversight.

Maybe it’s the program.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

If a guilty plea was truly coerced, the remedy is to challenge it in court and present evidence.

But claiming every guilty plea was coerced doesn’t explain the trial convictions, the video evidence, the text messages, the planning documents, or the defendants who admitted what they did under oath.

Evidence doesn’t become false simply because the outcome was unpopular.

@MontanaSiniff @j6gator1 “We eventually won another election” is not evidence that you won the election you spent four years claiming was stolen.

It’s just a long, slow failure to cope with losing the first one.

All this J6 nonsense has been a pretty effective distraction from the Epstein Files.

@gothburz My mom used to say “naval intelligence” was an oxymoron.

This post has the same energy.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

Imagine Democrats creating a taxpayer-funded “BLM Reparations Fund” for everyone who claimed they were unfairly arrested in 2020.

Most of the people demanding a “weaponization fund” would have lost their minds.

If government misconduct occurred, prove it in court and recover damages.

That’s what courts are for. That’s why they exist.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

If you have evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, present it and investigate it.

If someone committed perjury, prosecute them.

If someone violated defendants’ rights, hold them accountable.

But “political persecution” doesn’t make video evidence disappear, erase guilty pleas, undo jury verdicts, or turn every defendant into an innocent bystander.

Pardons are acts of executive clemency. They’re not findings of factual innocence.

@twh99 @MZanona @julie_kelly2 If they were victims, then they already have a remedy: civil court.

Sue the people you believe lied to you.

The American taxpayer didn’t tell anyone the election was stolen, didn’t organize January 6, and doesn’t owe anyone compensation for it.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

If an individual suffered damages because they relied on false representations, civil courts already provide a remedy.

The answer is litigation against the responsible parties, not a taxpayer-funded compensation program for people who voluntarily participated and were subsequently prosecuted or convicted.

Sue Trump. Sue the Proud Boys. Sue Jack Posobiec. Sue Mike Lindell.

If they lied to you, misled you, or convinced you to ruin your life, that’s where your claim belongs.

The American taxpayer isn’t responsible for your choices.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

@BrandonStraka @kathrynleann27 “People were bankrupted and destroyed standing up for Trump.”

No.

They were bankrupted and destroyed by the consequences of choices they voluntarily made while standing up for Trump.

Those are not the same thing.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

@Jon_Gross The definition of “weaponization” seems to have expanded from “being unfairly targeted” to “being arrested when there’s a warrant for your arrest.”

Those are not the same thing.

[Civic Analysis | Receipts @CivicAnalysis]

If Bertino lied, then prosecute Bertino for perjury.

But one witness changing his story years later doesn’t make every chat, video, planning document, and defendant statement disappear.

Evidence doesn’t vanish because a cooperator changes teams.

And look, I don’t doubt your family suffered because of what happened. But any compensation you think is owed should be sought from the organizations and people who led you there, not from American taxpayers.

Joe Taxpayer didn’t tell you to join the Proud Boys. Joe Taxpayer didn’t plan January 6. Joe Taxpayer didn’t commit the crimes that resulted in your conviction.

At some point, accountability has to exist somewhere other than everyone else.

@zach_rehl Did he tell the truth when he testified?

or

Is he telling the truth now?
