The Special Committee did not elaborate on other Republican lawmakers seeking amnesty or, more importantly, the crimes seeking amnesty, but at least that they were probably involved in the illegal activity. I seemed to know.
The extraordinary allegations also raised the prospect that Republicans sought amnesty and believed that Trump’s fraudulent election allegations were unfounded.
“Finding a clearer statement about guilt than looking for a pardon for what you’ve done to support plans to overturn the outcome of the presidential election,” said Jamie Ruskin, a member of the special committee. Is difficult. ” He told reporters.
