  1. A long shot, perhaps, but a nice way to draw attention to the fact that our elected officials swore an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution, not try to overturn a fair election. Seems like the bare minimum we should expect of our members of Congress.

    1. I am still not sure that Banks committed the crime of insurrection.

      Now, sedition? I sure as heck think Banks and Jordan and a whole lot of Republicans committed that.

    2. 18 USC 2384: Seditious conspiracy

      If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

  2. Probably a long shot legal theory, but Rep. Banks needs to be held responsible for his support of the insurrection and the coverup. I’m a Republican and we need to be better than people like Rep. Banks.

    1. Thank you. A true republican, as opposed to the “Party of Donald Dump”, whose only allegiance is to himself, greed & corruption…

  3. I think the committee investigating the coup attempt on Jan 6, 2021 will be able to tell us what some members of Congress were up to that day and in the days leading up to the attempt. We will then know if a charge against Rep. Banks for seditious conspiracy or flagrant violation of the 14th Amendment should be lodged.
