McConnell: Pelosi trying to 'overturn a state-certified election' in Iowa
McConnell’s comments come as the House Administration Committee is digging into the election results in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District where Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) won by six votes.

“The outcome was certified. That’s the magic word, certified, that we heard over and over again in November and December. ... the process played out in a way that every liberal in America spent November, December and January insisting was beyond question,” McConnell said.

“Democratic leadership is trying to use brute political power to kick her out and replace this congresswoman with a Democrat whom she defeated. You don’t often see hypocrisy this blatant and this shameless so quickly,” he said.

This is the same McConnell that used brute political force to stop a Obama SC pick saying the people should decide but changes the rules of the game for Trump, because he had the brute political power?

Nunes Questions Laid Bare As Trump Era Obfuscation Lifts On U.S. Intel About Russia

Rachel Maddow points out that the new intelligence community report on foreign interference in the 2020 election names Andriy Derkach as an agent of Russia, and wonders why Republicans aren't more troubled over keeping Devin Nunes as the ranking member on the Intelligence Committee given his unexplained interactions with Derkach.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump last year ordered officials to grant top-secret security clearance to his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, according to a report published Thursday by The New York Times.

Kushner was granted the high-level clearance last May after a lengthy background check.

The Times, citing anonymous sources, said Trump demanded Kushner’s clearance despite the concerns of intelligence officials, then-Chief of Staff John Kelly and then-White House counsel Don McGahn.

The newspaper said Kelly wrote in an internal memo that he had been “ordered” to give top-secret clearance to Kushner. McGahn wrote a memo in which he advised against such clearance.

Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Kushner lawyer Abbe Lowell, responded Thursday to the Times story with a statement, saying: “In 2018, White House and security clearance officials affirmed that Mr. Kushner’s security clearance was handled in the regular process with no pressure from anyone. That was conveyed to the media at the time, and new stories, if accurate, do not change what was affirmed at the time.”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders declined to comment on the Times story.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said Thursday that the Times report “indicates that President Trump may have granted access to our country’s most sensitive classified information to his son-in-law against the advice of career staff_directly contradicting the President’s public denials that he played any role.”

Trump told Times reporters in January that he “was never involved” with Kushner’s security clearance.

Cummings, D-Md., noted that his committee has launched an investigation into the security clearance process and requested documents and interviews relating to Kushner’s clearance.

“To date, the White House has not produced a single document or scheduled a single interview,” Cummings said in a statement. “The Committee expects full compliance with its requests as soon as possible, or it may become necessary to consider alternative means to compel compliance.”

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and Kushner’s wife, said in February that the president did not play a role in granting security clearances to her or Kushner.

Freedom Caucus GOP members refuse to condemn Myanmar coup in US House (businessinsider.com)

13 members of the pro-Trump House Freedom Caucus refused to condemn Myanmar's generals who violently overthrew elected leaders

• A House resolution censuring those who carried out the Myanmar coup passed by a 398-14 vote on Friday.
• Over a dozen GOP Reps., mostly from the pro-Trump Freedom Caucus, opposed the motion.
• Some of those who voted against the measure tied it to immigration or the results of the US election.

On Friday, the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution that censured the military coup in Myanmar by a 398-14 vote. Over a dozen Republicans, most of them from the pro-Trump Freedom Caucus, stood in opposition.

The vote condemned the military generals who orchestrated the coup and called for the Biden administration to place sanctions on them.

Some Freedom Caucus representatives tied their votes to right-wing political talking points, and some referenced the 2020 US elections.

Those who voted no were, 13 of whom are part of the Freedom Caucus:

Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado
Rep. Chip Roy of Texas
Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland
Rep. Ted Budd of North Carolina
Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois
Rep. Alex Mooney of West Virginia
Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama
Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia
Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, a member of the caucus, voted present.

One Republican, who is not a part of the Freedom Caucus, also voted against the resolution: Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

Perry objected to Pennsylvania's electors ahead of the insurrection on January 6, and on Friday, and his spokesperson told Forbes that the Myanmar resolution "is an overt attempt to trap Republicans into condemning the claims of evidence of election fraud in Burma while perpetuating similar claims (in the Democrat's views) of evidence in US elections."

Harris issued a statement aimed at immigrants, saying that Congress should address, "COVID positive illegal aliens being dispersed into our communities rather than wasting time on useless resolutions about a foreign country."

Biggs, the caucus chair, posted a video on Twitter explaining his opposition to the resolution.

In the video, Biggs said the violence resulting from the coup is "tragic." However, Biggs says that "there is suffering everywhere in the world" and he believes the US "can't be the military police for the entire world." He alleged that the resolution was a means to "put our foot in the door in Burma."

In Myanmar's November elections, the ruling National League for Democracy won 396 out of 476 seats in Parliament, with the military-affiliated Union Solidarity and Development Party winning 33 seats.

The military, known as the Tatmadaw, claimed that the election was rife with voter fraud — charging 8.6 million instances of "voter irregularities" among a population of 54 million — a claim that was rejected by the country's election commission, according to the AP.

Top members of the ruling party, including civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, were detained by the military.

Mass protests have followed the coup in Myanmar since early February, and according to the UN, military forces have killed at least 138 protesters since then. The military has also instituted media and internet blackouts.

After the vote on Friday, Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia tweeted that, "The House QAnon Caucus refuses to condemn the military coup in Burma."

GOP warns HR 1 could be 'absolutely devastating for Republicans' - ABC News

GOP warns HR 1 could be 'absolutely devastating for Republicans'
Some openly fret that broader access to voting will harm the party's chances.

In the aftermath of the GOP's assault on the integrity of the 2020 presidential election and amid a torrent of Republican measures aimed at restricting voting rights in the name of security, Democrats are pushing for a far-reaching solution to counter attempts at narrowing access to the ballot box.

H.R. 1, known as the For the People Act, seeks to abolish hurdles to voting, reform the role of money in politics and tighten federal ethics rules. Among the key tenets of the bill to overhaul the nation's election system: allowing for no-excuse mail voting, at least 15 days of early voting, automatic voter registration and restoring voting rights to felons who have completed their prison sentences.

They are openly saying voter suppression is their only chance for national races. I think it will backfire on them. Like it did in Georgia. You piss off all the folks who never took the time to vote bad enough, and they will register and vote.

Absolutely agree, there has always been low eligible voter turnout in this country due to a malaise that it does'nt really make a diff., this all changed with the divisiveness of the Donald and his despicable circus of cronies, suckups,and flipfloppers. It instilled such a rage to empower people to vote as well as marshal the Dems to register more eligible voters. The reps sowed the wind w/their actions but will try anything not to reap the whirlwind. Too bad assholes the chickens have come home to roost. Couple that with What do they actually stand for policy wise. ccguns
