Zoe Ellen Lofgren House-Passed Election Bill Targets Foreign Interference Republicans Call For Hearing On Biden’s Dealing With Border Fluctuation Curator Estimates Capitol Art Damage From Mob Totals K MORE (D-Calif.) Has released a comprehensive report detailing social media posts from Republican lawmakers who voted against the Electoral College’s certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The nearly 2,000-page report documents posts on social media platforms just before the November 3 elections and after the January 6 uprising on Capitol Hill.
The report underscores the lack of trust between Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, as critics say comments questioning the credibility of the November election contributed to the deadly riot in January.
Federal investigators are also reportedly investigating communications between lawmakers and the rioters before the uprising.
Lofgren, the chairman of the House Administration Committee, said in a forward to the report that she had released it as part of a fact-finding mission and hinted that punishments could stem from some of the Republicans’ claims and statements.
“As before President Trump

They would have violated their oath of office and be involved in the same constitutional provision cited in the article of impeachment, ” she wrote. That provision prohibits anyone who has previously taken an oath to support the Constitution as a member of Congress, but then engaged in rebellion or rebellion from serving in Congress. “
“Any appropriate disciplinary action is not only a matter of constitution and law, but also of fact,” Lofgren continued. Many of former President Trump’s false statements were made in very public settings. Had members made similar public statements in the weeks and months before the January 6 attack?
“Statements readily available in the public arena can be part of any consideration of Congressional constitutional prerogatives and responsibilities.”
The report covers the posts of 120 House Republicans, including several Trump top allies.
In a flagged comment, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), The chairman of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, on Nov. 5, said: “The integrity of our elections is at stake, and Americans have maximum transparency and accountability from state and local officials. “

Brooks pioneered the House’s attempt to object to the Electoral College’s results.
After election day, Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill quickly claimed without evidence that widespread fraud had cost the former president a second term, although nearly every lawsuit seeking to throw out the results of certain swing states was thrown out for lack of evidence or prestige.
