'Bowers was one of five recipients of this year’s John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award for his refusal to consider overturning the 2020 election results despite pressure from Trump and his supporters.
But while Bowers said the efforts by Giuliani and other Trump backers have been hurtful, he does not levy any criticism on Trump directly and would support him if he were on the ballot.
“If he is the nominee, if he was up against Biden, I’d vote for him again,” Bowers said. “Simply because what he did the first time, before COVID, was so good for the county. In my view it was great.”
Bowers said he'd vote for Trump again... Defies all logic.

Letters from an American:
'It showed testimony from Ronna McDaniel, the head of the Republican National Committee, confirming that the RNC helped the Trump campaign collect the false electoral slates.
It named two lawmakers who appeared to participate in the attempt to overthrow the election. Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) apparently called Bowers to pressure him, and Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) wanted to hand the fake slates of electors from Michigan and Wisconsin to Pence on January 6.
Striding quickly past reporters today, Johnson told CNN’s chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju that he had “no idea” who asked him to share the fake electors with Pence. He said he had “no involvement” in the attempt to provide fake electors to overturn the legitimate outcome of the 2020 election and claimed he didn’t know who handed his office the envelope that was supposed to go to Pence. It was, he said, “some staff intern” who handed another staff member the envelope. When asked if he would try to find out, he said, “No. No, because there’s no conspiracy here. This is a complete non-story, guys. Complete non-story.”
Yesterday's hearing: A few items you may have missed...

Today's Jan 6 Committee clearly shows ...
how ludicrous Trump's scheme was. It never would have gotten this far without assistance from FoxNews and Congressional Republicans. Heads are surely going to roll: Trump, Rudy, Eastman, Meadows. Today was a gift to the DOJ.

Things are heating up. Watch where Javanka travel...
Could be a sign of Trump getting ready to bolt. They recently traveled to the Middle East. If the DOJ indicts, I don't see Trump sitting around waiting to go to trial for Seditious Conspiracy. Do you?

Why the Jan 6 Committee may be reluctant to provide DOJ with their findings...Any ideas?
Could be they fear leaks from the DOJ, or worse a Trump sympathizer passing on the information to Trump. However, the DOJ has been leak-proof since Garland took over as AG. So, if it's not that what is it?
