THOMPSON & CHENEY STATEMENT ON VERDICTS IN JANUARY 6TH OATH KEEPERS SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY TRIAL
Nov 29, 2022
Washington—Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today issued the following statement:
“Today’s convictions are a victory for the rule of law and reinforce the fact that the violence of January 6th included a deliberate attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and block the transfer of presidential power. The Select Committee’s investigation demonstrated that when Donald Trump summoned a mob to assemble in Washington, DC on January 6th, the Oath Keepers and other extremist groups heard that call and began to plan and coordinate. Individuals involved now face the consequences of taking part in a scheme to undermine American democracy.
“It’s vital that there be accountability for every vile aspect of January 6th and the events that led to that day’s tragedy. We applaud the Justice Department’s success today and support ongoing efforts to ensure that accountability at all levels.”

Wasn't another candidate already prevented from running because of his involvement in the insurrection? It's long past time that the "leader" of this failed coup faces justice - for this and everything else, let alone ever gets the chance to run for public office again! 
and locked up.
How’s your recovery coming on?
I'm getting really good at using a walker though.
