The House's select committee on the January 6 Capitol attack voted 9-0 to hold Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress. The Monday night vote sets up a full House vote later this week, which if passed, would refer the matter to the Department of Justice. Prior to the vote, the committee members laid out their case against the ex-White House chief of staff, who was at former President Donald Trump's side during the January 6th insurrection. Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff read text messages to Meadows from Donald Trump Jr., Fox News host and GOP lawmakers,

Keep fighting, Meadows! This sham committee has no business reading someone's private texts. Shame on all of them, and I hope they all lose in the next (hopefully legit) election.

Keep the middle finger a-flying, Meadows. The majority knows this as the spectacle/sham it is.

Executive privilege is a thing of the past. Hold the line Mark and give that lynch mob the bikers salute.

This committee has an agenda and it has nothing to do with truth. It has been created for one reason and that is to make a run for President in 2024 impossible for President Trump. Their purpose is to sully his reputation and accuse him of allowing or inciting an “insurrection”. It also is there to take any heat off of Pelosi who rejected President Trump’s offer of the National Guard. It was her responsibility to protect the Capitol Building and she failed as was her intention all along. Truth be known, her texts probably would prove her involvement in creating the narrative they needed, but those will never see the light of day. I don’t understand how they say this was an insurrection when the Capitol Police ushered people inside the Capitol Building. It is clearly on video tape. None of the J6 defendants were charged with insurrection. This was set up by Pelosi and her FBI goons the day President Trump announced the rally. They knew they had an optimal opportunity to embed instigators into the crowd and blame any violence on Trump supporters. Nasty Nan’s fingerprints are all over this. What went on that day was a false flag orchestrated by the Speaker of the House and FBI in order to paint Trump and his supporters as insurrectionists and domestic terrorists. Let us never forget the two women that were killed that day by law enforcement. One was shot by a plain clothes Capitol Policeman inside the Capitol Building and the other was beaten to death by the police outside the building. Peel back this onion and you will find Pelosi at the center. Democrats had stolen the election and they wanted to paint the President and his supporters as insurrectionists and remove the focus off election fraud. Nancy needed violence to give the lie credibility even if she had to create it.
This committee is another sham just like the Russian collusion hoax. Democrats, of course, know it is but need to get their narrative out there so that the media can run with it. It’s all about another lie being spoon fed to the democrat base. They have to keep their hate ginned up lest they stop to realize just how miserable Joe Biden has made their lives. When I think about the total fabrications the democrat party has created these past years to destroy President Trump, it is extremely disturbing to know that such evil exists in this country. Democrats are absolutely the greatest force of evil this country has ever faced. No foreign enemy even comes close to doing the damage democrats have done in 11 short months. Furthermore, it will continue unless they are stopped because they have no intention of slowing down their rush to American socialism.

What BS theater. Demonrats never ever give up. I hope the Republicans are just as tenacious when they take back the House in 2022. Nail sonny boy should be the top of the list. Next up: Shifty Shiff.

#5, I agree with your statement but the real reason why it did not affect Eric Holder is because the republican party does not have the stomach to put a democrat in jail or hold them in contempt. The republican leaders like Boehner, Ryan, McConnell and McCarthy are weak and an embarrassment.

Ashli Babbitt was murdered by one of Pelosi's jack-booted thugs. Murder at the Capitol in front of the whole world. Unbelievable. I wonder if Cheney is going to investigate that.
There are dark forces working behind the scenes and it's obvious many Republicans are being muzzled/controlled.

Apparently this committee doesn’t have a clue that the more they harass PDT and his former staff, the stronger his support out here in flyover country grows. So, keep it up you sick buffoons.

I just voted (the vote was 1-0) to hold both Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff in contempt! I feel sure my resolution will have about the same effect as theirs.

Would be funny if everyone on the January 6 committee was voted out of office next election. It's just a front for the government crackdown taking place in this country.

Fight the filthy mongrels. The whole country has nothing but contempt for congress. This is the worst bunch since Obama's circus. Many of them are the same clowns in the same chairs. Adam Schiff is like a fungus.

Yes, this vote is to distract from Biden being the illegitimate President. The election was stolen from Donald J. Trump by the Marxist Deep State.

This so called investigative committee is heaping upon themselves God's judgment by the bucket loads by attacking innocent Americans. God's timing may appear to be slow, but His timing is always perfect. Be patient patriots, God will answer our prayers. God is a God of Justice and Righteousness, Slow to Anger, so we don't believe this can continue much longer, because He wants this nation SAVED.

The January 6 Kangaroo Court needs to remember the first rule of holes .. and that God is watching, whether they believe in Him or not.

Videos of the "mob" show them walking in the building and staying inside of the yellow tapes that mark where people can walk. They just don't make "mobs" like they used to.

Did Liz & Adam forget the January 6th video of Trump telling people to protest peacefully....Pelosi controls the capital police. Trump requested reinforcements from Pelosi ....she did nothing... so all of a sudden they say Trump should have send in the National Guard while constantly complaining for a year when Trump sent help to cities being destroyed.

Cheney and Schiff both read the texts? I didn't notice. I guess that Liz Cheney has actually morphed into and Adam Schiff like character so much (due to her TDS) that I was unable to tell the difference between her and Schiff. Cheney is a disgrace. I doubt that Liz Cheney will ever live in the State of Wyoming again. Bet she will be welcome with open arms in San Francisco.
