WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump wants to jail former and current members of Congress who investigated his incitement of the violent Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and he plans to pardon the rioters immediately upon taking office, he told NBC News Sunday.

On the network’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,” Trump said leaders of the special congressional panel that probed the Capitol riot “lied” and “should go to jail.”

Trump singled out committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and a senior Black member of Congress, and former high-ranking House Republican Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who co-chaired the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

“Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps,” Trump told NBC host Welker.

1. When my 3 yo brother told our mother

he was going to put her in jail, she called his bluff.

She took us to the police station and we got a tour of the jail. Not pleasant.

Brother freaked when Mom demanded to be arrested and be left behind in jail. It would be a vacation from housework and cleaning up after all of us.

Liz Cheney has nothing to worry about. No basis for arrest.

14. Fascists don't care for facts

MAGAs will love it, she will be jailed and held indefinitely because no republican will protest and demand her release. Although I imagine her father has some dirt on Trump.

2. This is the man elected by a majority of the voters

A sick, sick Country.

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that's the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing. Nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him if he gives too much.”
― Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

5. Thankfully, we gave up our satellite TV subscription.

I don’t have to watch shows that pander to that moron. And.now that I’m retired, I don’t have to deal with that many of his followers except for something like getting groceries. It is not going to be a pleasant four years.

6. Is the media going to find a way to normalize this?

I post and will continue posting my dislike of traitor and outrage that my country has come to this. I can't help wondering if this lunatic is going to have henchmen sifting through social media to find EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD who thinks and publicly states that he is a turd? And what? Call me a doody head?

7. Meet the Press tried diligently to "sane wash" Trump.

MTP was a good choice for Trump they have abandoned Journalism for hackery the last several decades.

8. A note to Trump:

You don't really want to make her dad angry. Seriously.

9. Then I guess the long, long line of Republicans - most from Trump's administration - who gave evidence to

Cheney should be rounded up, too. It's not like there was a bunch of BLM, "woke libtards" giving evidence. OMG - I can't bear another 4 years of this BS.

11. No, it is the orange convicted felon whose ass should be setting in a jail cell.

46 months and counting

[Justice matters.]

16. Well, the "interviewer" there could have told toddler we don't...

jail people because they compare testimonies under oath from Republicans to what the United States Criminal Code states in its big blue book, but, surprise surprise (not at all..) she didn't (in fear of ending up in jail just because she told the truth on air? Or because she knows nothing about what she's paid to know?).

12. I'm not understanding why,

That whole committee has not yet filed an Defamation lawsuit yet? Just seems to me that would keep that fire burning under the assholes feet!!

15. Excellent idea
