1. Is it possible that they really can track the money?

2. Crypto ... crypto ... measuring the marigolds

anonymity will take you far

At least one PA State Senator spent campaign funds on buses for the insurrectionists ... surely a need to investigate if other campaign funds from other elected officials were used ... also corporate donors, nonprofits, NRA possibilities.

8. part of the problem

is that people keep pointing to things like hired buses ... Talk radio fundraisers, etc. Which while sad and misguided - are pretty much out in the open and legit political activity. It may be beating a dead horse - but what is really needed here is evidence of funds transferred and funneled for the purchase of tactical gear (radios?), arms, explosives, strategy meeting and exchange - showing direct links between GOP operatives and groups like the Proud Boys, Boog boys and Oath Keepers. In other words did Giuliani (or the NRA) actually transfer money to these guys? Meanwhile ditch the fluff about chartered buses!

10. It depends on what or who those buses transported

Protestors? Pass. Coordinated para-military group. Might be more interesting. Keep digging.

11. seen any reports of paramilitary guys coming in on buses?

Neither have I. But that is where the emphasis of investigation (if you're truly looking for coup or insurrection activities) should be focused. Keep digging.

3. Absolutely

Make it so

4. Yes!

This is getting somewhere now! Sheldon Whitehouse’s presentation on dark money and the Supreme Court was fire.

5. Yeah, OK

Sheldon would make a great majority leader some day, ehh? I like him.

You know what would be better, the DOJ, the FBI doing the investigation. The select committee doesn't have the same power as the DOJ.

6. Check out the billionaire guy

who funded the fraudit in Arizona. These people don't give a shit they do this in the open. Until some big shots are held accountable I'm not getting excited.

7. Go after that D.A. Organization,

then you can end the career of my corrupt DA, Daniel Cameron. What a nice holiday present, it would be.

9. sorry but

I've had my hopes up too many times.Call me when the get the bastards

[Skittles]

12. yup

from January
