While it's depressing to see election fraud proponents win anything, I take at least a little comfort in the fact that they don't make up the majority in this list.

The thing that made the biggest impression on me so far - some election officials notably Republicans looked actually frightened as they gave their testimony.

Here's how Rudy describe his assault to the New York Post.

“All of a sudden, I feel this ‘Bam!’ on my back. I don’t know if they helped me not fall down, but I just about fell down, but I didn’t.

I feel this tremendous pain in my back, and I’m thinking, what the — I didn’t even know what it was. All of a sudden, I hear this guy say, ‘You’re a f–king scumbag"

“I say to myself, ‘You know something? I gotta get this guy arrested,’

The ex-mayor, calling in to the Curtis Sliwa show on 77 WABC talk radio, said the slap felt like “somebody shot me,” and “Luckily, I’m a 78-year-old who is in pretty good shape. If I wasn’t, I would have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull.”

“I’m like, ‘I’m gonna get this guy arrested as an example that you can’t do this. And I said, also, in New York, we don’t prosecute people anymore And one of the reasons I brought crime down is I didn’t ignore stuff like this.”

His son, gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani, called his dad “tough as nails.

Rudy Giuliani spoke to police after he was attacked at a ShopRite in Staten Island while campaigning for his son Andrew.

Giuliani reportedly told his son he was “feeling good” after the attack.

“He’s doing fine,” Andrew said. “But it’s a sad day when New Yorkers’ greatest crime fighter, ‘America’s Mayor,’ is attacked. I blame the left-wing for encouraging violence. This is crazy.”

He said his father was in good spirits and even quipped that “‘I ran into the only person who is not voting for Andrew Giuliani.’

Some pesky surveillance video disputed Rudy Giuliani's "assault." Note the New York Post then pull the video from their home page, but plenty of others have re-posted it.

The NY Times - Cassidy Hutchinson’s Testimony Highlights Legal Risks for Trump

29 June 2022

It was one of the most dramatic moments in a presentation filled with them: Just before President Donald J. Trump went onstage near the White House last year and urged his supporters to “fight like hell” and march on the Capitol, an aide testified on Tuesday, he was told that some of them were armed.

It was also a potentially consequential moment for any prosecution of Mr. Trump, legal experts said.

Knowing that his crowd of supporters had the means to be violent when he exhorted them to march to the Capitol - and declared that he wanted to go with them - could nudge Mr. Trump closer to facing criminal charges, legal experts said.

The extent to which the Justice Department’s expanding criminal inquiry is focused on Mr. Trump remains unclear. ...

... it remains unknown if prosecutors are looking directly at Mr. Trump’s own involvement in subverting the election or inspiring the mob that wreaked havoc at the Capitol.

Sensational. Now if only all the other Republicans were as brave as her. Despite being a Republican, she has my full respect for standing up to the orange buffoon and his cronies.

Long process 2/3 majority required at the final hurdle. I recall a previous discussion where accepting a pardon can be seen as admission of guilt in some circumstances. Maybe that's the direction of travel.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_from_the_United_States_Congress

Sounds like a long circus. On the other hand the events and the leadup were shocking and unprecedented. Going through the motions to record this may be the smart thing to do in the circumstances.

Oh my god, this guy.

"She says she saw me murder that guy by strangling him with a rope. Well, she couldn't have because I used a clothesline to strangle him."

Oh, look at this. After previously saying she was looking forward to meeting with the committee, suddenly a judge's wife has a change of heart. Something to hide maybe?

Meanwhile, back at the SCOTUS ...

The Washington Post - Breyer to retire Thursday from Supreme Court, clearing way for Jackson swearing-in

today

Today, Justice Stephen G. Breyer* told the White House that he will retire from the Supreme Court at noon Thursday, clearing the way for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be sworn in.

Minutes after the retirement is official, Jackson will be sworn in at a private ceremony at the Supreme Court, with Breyer and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. administering the oaths.

Jackson will become the first Black woman to serve on the high court and its fourth current female justice, joining Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett.

Jackson, 51, was chosen for the court by President Biden after Breyer this year announced his plans to retire.

* the oldest SCOTUS judge
