Oaf Creepers Wanted to Protect a MAGA Lawmaker. The Jan. 6 Committee Wants to Know Why

The Jan. 6 committee on Monday requested the voluntary cooperation of three of former President Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress: Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), and Ronny Jackson (R-Texas).

The committee referenced Biggs’ alleged role regarding “various aspects of planning for Jan. 6.” Rolling Stone reported last fall that Biggs was one of several lawmakers who participated in the planning of the rally near the White House that preceded the riot at the Capitol. It noted how Brooks recently said that Trump asked him to “rescind” the 2020 election and put him back in the White House. The comments came not long after Trump yanked his endorsement of Brooks for Senate in Alabama. As for Jackson, who parlayed his role as Trump’s White House doctor into a seat in Congress, the committee released text messages revealing that members of the Oath Keepers militia wanted to provide protection for Jackson during the riot at the Capitol.

“Dr. Ronny Jackson — on the move. Needs protection,” one wrote. “If anyone inside cover him. He has critical data to protect.”

“Give him my cell,” replied Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers founder who has been charged with seditious conspiracy for allegedly orchestrating an operation to block the election certification by force.

Jackson is now tied directly to the DOJ investigation of seditious conspiracy.

...and now they must pay the price.

Charge, convict, then lock the Republican traitors up.

For the good of America and the world.

No way should they sit in Congress, let alone get a pass from justice.

but every person involved in any part of the insurrection should spend the rest of their life in prison. Why? For the same reason Adolf Hitler should have never been let out of prison.
