Fast forward to 2022, and it is the TrumpubliQans who are pleading the Fifth (as well as drinking the fifth) and thus, by the Trump standard, PLEADING GUILTY.
Hillary Clinton voluntarily agreed to testify about Benghazi.
Hillary Clinton testified for eleven hours.
Hillary Clinton never refused to answer a question.
Hillary Clinton never took the fifth.
At the end of it, committee chair Trey Gowdy finally had to admit (caught on an open hot mic), “We got nothing.” He subsequently declined to run for reelection and is no longer in the House.
Hillary Clinton’s case was about emails. The Trump Treason is about an coordinated conspiratorial (racketeering) attempt to overthrow a full, free and fair election.
We now know that many in the Trump administration also used personal emails to conduct official business on a scale that dwarfs anything Hillary was accused of (but never actually found guilty).
Any person who chanted “lock her up” but now refuses to testify is a TRAITOR that needs to be LOCKED UP.
Trump rally crowd chants ‘lock him up’ as Dr. Fauci becomes ‘the new Hillary Clinton’
Some speakers also spewed dangerous rhetoric about Fauci, including Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ).
“When we’re back in the majority, I’ll get to see Anthony Fauci and ask him some important questions because that man has been a destroyer,” Biggs said of Fauci. After the crowd chanted “lock him up,” Biggs added: “Let’s see what happens to Dr. Fauci.”
Another speaker, Trump-backed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, told the crowd: “I want to lock somebody down, and it’s that liar Dr.Fauci.”
After the crowd chanted “lock him up,” Lake called Fauci “bad news” and said she also wants to imprison “anybody who was involved in that corrupt shady, shoddy election of 2020. Lock them up.”

The viciously psychotic republicans want to lock up every American who did not vote for their orange dictator.
They want to use Fauci as the scapegoat for their own covid spreading policies.
Traitor Republicans come up with new lies everyday.
On Saturday, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon released a new episode of his “War Room” podcast in which he claimed that the former president’s rally on Saturday would serve as a precursor to the decertification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
“It’s the kickoff of 2022. A huge speech in front of a massive crowd by Donald J. Trump and, of course, they’re all melting down about who’s on stage with him. They’re all people that are going to get to the decertification of the 2020 Biden electors,” Bannon said.
The psychotic republican seditionists are still going with their Big Lie to destabilize the USA because the majority refused to vote for their orange bag of lying crap.
Trump brags about Jan. 6 crowd size: ‘I think it was the largest I’ve ever spoken before’
Former president Donald Trump on Saturday complained that the “fake news” media never reports on the size of the crowd at his Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally prior to the Capitol insurrection.
“They talk about the people that walked down to the Capitol,” Trump said. “They don’t talk about the size of that crowd. I believe it was the largest crowd I’ve ever spoken before, and they were there to protest the election.”
Trump also promoted a false-flag conspiracy theory that the FBI — which he controlled at the time — was somehow behind the insurrection.
“Exactly how many of those present at the Capitol complex on Jan. 6 were FBI confidential informants, agents, or otherwise working directly or indirectly with an agency of the United States government?” Trump said.
This week, the House Select Committee investigating the insurrection debunked the conspiracy theory about Epps, which has been pushed by others including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

The mentally ill republican coup plotters want to blame their failed attempt on everyone else.
Trump Openly Explains How He Plans to Steal the Next Election in Video Message to Republican Group
Just over a year ago, Donald Trump and his confederates attempted to stage a coup against the United States. The January 6th insurrection resulted in a violent mob invading the Capitol, interfering with the constitutionally mandated duties of Congress, vandalizing the historic seat of America’s government, causing over $30 million in damage, and injuring more than a 140 police officers.
Ever since that day, Trump has not only denied any responsibility, he has actually bragged that it was a peaceful and patriotic event, that he “loved” the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol, and that the “real” insurrection was Election Day, November 3, 2021.
“We have to be a lot sharper the next time when it comes to counting the vote. There’s a famous saying that sometimes the vote counter is more important than the candidate. And we can’t let that ever, ever happen again. They have to get a lot tougher and smarter.”
Trump is openly articulating a plot to take over the administration of elections so that his apparatchiks can meddle with the voting to fraudulently produce the result he wants. It isn’t enough that Republicans have been passing laws in many states that suppress the votes of Democratic leaning citizens. His authoritarian aspirations now demand that the vote counting functions be put into the hands of his fellow fascists.
For the record, the “famous saying” that Trump is referring to is one that is attributed to one of his tyrannical heroes, Joseph Stalin, who has been reported to have said that…
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the Party will vote, or how. But what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.”
Yup.. that would do it. You can bet that when they regain power later this year Hillary.. her server and missing emails.. Benghazi will be subjects of investigations again. And, to mix it up a bit will probably add Hunter.
I see the traitor-apologist Montana Swill is at it again. Please ignore the mental midget behind the curtain. As for the Republican members of Congress who aided and abetted the attempted coup, I think we have to hope for action from the Justice Department more than the (bipartisan) Congressional committee.
‘A collective chorus of yawns’: Trump’s ‘tired’ Arizona speech was a tremendous flop
Put more succinctly, Lewis stated Trump’s “schtick” has grown old and was greeted with “a collective chorus of yawns.”
Pointing out there was a time when the former president’s every utterance “spawned breathless coverage,” Lewis made a compelling case that a click-obsessed news media found little Trump said on Saturday night was worth reporting.
And that is bad news for the publicity-obsessed ex-president.
“Trump’s performance in Arizona on Saturday night—his first rally in months and his much-hyped chance to respond to the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot—was neither shocking nor terribly newsworthy,” he wrote. “It didn’t even merit a mention on The Washington Post’s homepage Sunday morning. The New York Times only used Trump’s speech as a peg to write a broader story under the headline: ‘Trump Rally Underscores G.O.P. Tension Over How to Win in 2022.’”
According to Lewis, the major news outlets covering the speech instead concentrated on the cast of characters who spoke before him because the ex-president said nothing new or interesting.
Suggesting that Trump appears to have “jumped the shark,” Lewis stated the twice-impeached preside mt has his work cut out for him if he wants to become relevant with anyone outside of his rabid followers.

In 2016 Trump said that only the guilty plead the Fifth or refuse to testify.

Steve Bannon claims Trump rally will prompt Arizona to decertify Biden’s 2020 election victory. The vote cannot be decertified in any way.
Steve Bannon said that speakers at Donald Trump’s rally will decertify Joe Biden’s electors in Arizona.
Law professors told Poynter there is no legal mechanism for decertifying the 2020 election results.
Some Republicans want Arizona’s election results decertified despite audits affirming Biden’s win.
