The GOP is doing this in a lot of states. This election is going to be a shitshow.
Peter Skandalakis is a fucking traitor.
“I find the conduct and involvement of Senator Jones as an elected representative to be reasonable and not criminal in nature,” he wrote in a statement announcing his decision. “Senator Jones’s involvement and actions during the times in question to be within the scope of his duties as a Senator to address the concerns of constituents and that his participation in voting as an alternate elector on Dec 14th, 2020, was a result of relying upon the advice of attorneys and legal scholars.”
I’m a constituent too, you motherfucker. When are you going to address my concerns that you, Burt Jones, and everyone else involved in the coup attempt are traitors who need to hang?
Hang is a bit much, prison sure. That said his excuse is essentially, they were tricked by evidence from attorneys and legal scholars… Should they not be requesting an investigation into those people before closing the case then?
The excuse seems to make this hypothetical:
Shaggy did X because Fred and Velma told him he should. X was illegal, but since Fred and Wilma said he should, it’s fine.
Fred advised Shaggy to do X, but he stated he was told to do so by Shaggy and it was their job to do so, also Velma supported it, so Fred’s free to go.
Velma was told she would be defunded if she didn’t support Shaggy doing X by Fred, so she supported it, also Shaggy wanted her to do it, so she was free to go.
X is illegal, or… Maybe not?
If so then it’s just more evidence that the electoral system undermines the will of the people and needs to go.
Really makes you wonder at what point we tolerate this government anymore. At what point it’s in the best interest of the people to tear it down.
