Thanks Ari for putting it all together so perfectly. I'm not giving up hope that these criminals will pay for their crimes. The former guy and his conspirators are a continuous danger to our country. They tried on January 6, and will not stop until they have the power to be in control completely. So frightening, but they are working very hard to make it happen. God protect us!!!🙏
Civil rights movement knew when prayers were not enough. At this moment in time we too will know when it’s time to boycott and fight back! Stay safe my brothers and sisters from another mother!
JEB would you agree that MOST prayers are answered swiftly? That being said, it DOES take lots of patience to get all prayers answered; sometimes your inner self, or soul, carries each person forward & hopefully to it's finality.......so it goes, with the HOPE/GRACE and Mercy from God..........Whichever, an individual chooses to pray too!
Thank you so much, Ari, for your always expert and truthful reporting. I watch you every day and am so grateful for you - the best - with good funnies, too.
Succinctly stated summary! I’m thinking at the very least, that the outcomes of the DOJ, SDNY, and Georgia investigations will result in Trump not becoming a candidate in 2024, and loss of power over other Republicans. That would be a big accomplishment. Your interviews last two weeks, all of them, sublime as usual!
Sylviane! "Donny Boy.....as I refer to him, cant run for any Government Office if he's convicted & is in Jail...let's keep our fingers crossed OK? You do have a great question though :)
Hi Ari. What about the lawmakers who also interfered with the peaceful transfer of power? Will Congress be able to expel them or at least keep them from being able to run again?
Catherine, (I have a sis w/your name)...........I've many questions as well!
Unfortunately, Ari does have to wait to see what happens in Congress, doesn't he? We'll all know if, @ that time your questions & others are addressed! Let's hope so :)
If Trump is proven to be culpable in sedition charges would he be the next Benedict Arnold in our history? I look forward to seeing how this plays out in our legal system. As always, great coverage Ari
Ari! Nothing really surprises me, but watching your show (on 1.21.2022) enlightened me, as to what these "MEN".. (I CAN think of another word), but will refrain from writing it! I watched intently asking myself... If they're acting like this on National Television, imagine what they MUST really be like when not in the public eye....GOOD GRIEF! These agitators are worse than wild apes, "having-a-go" at someone who they, (wrongly) thought was the weakest.......I will admit, I wasn't expecting how extraordinarily even-toned your voice stayed, during all of their loud rampages & for those who didn't view it was quite volatile, for a moment to say the least!
Put this down to one more thing about Ari that I just learned, he's bloody amazing, as (you all) have known all along! But me, being the NEW-GIRL-ON-THIS-BLOCK for just a few weeks.......I'm still learning exactly what kind of person Ari Melber is!
He speaks the truth, serious when needed, so is his humor..... what more can anyone want? I, for all it's worth, can't wait to see more :) Have a nice week-end & see you on Monday!
Thank you so much for your insightful analysis on Trump and the January 6th insurrection. I am glad that SCOTUS (including the ones that Trump appointed) ruled against him. I am looking forward to seeing Trump and all involved held accountable for these atrocious crimes.
BTW, kudos on the interview with Trump’s coup plotters and former Trump’s rally planner…hopefully, the DOJ is paying attention.
Ari you are one of the smartest guys I know, so I loved reading this piece & getting your perspective on this subject!💯 Our nation must guard against anything like this (no matter what word we use to characterize what happened) from EVER happening again! Thank you for your eloquent breakdown of what to call this unAmerican catastrophe!🙏🏽😉💖
I like to contrast the Women’s March on this day in 2017 to the Stop the Steal rally on 1/6/21. How is it that 500,000 people could peacefully gather in D.C. to protest the election of Donald Trump, no weapons, no killing, no maiming, and a few thousand Trump supporters could attempt a violent overthrow of a democratically elected President? Clearly, it was a planned insurrection.
All of this is emotionally satisfying, although I'll never understand why the Committee isn't using its inherent subpoena power, which would speed things up substantially.
Overarching , however, is the failure to pass the voting rights bill, which means that barring some miracle, the House and Senate will almost inevitably change hands in November -- leaving two years for Garland to bring any charges as a sidelined president does -- what?
Baba from your words to their ears.....wait just a bit, you'll see exactly why the committee held off doing exactly that! Seems to me they (might) want too sign-off on all those extra dots/dashes..... to making sure those subpoena's stick!!
I still don't understand why they aren't using their inherent subpoena power. It's clear and although not used recently --available. The matters at issue are far from trivial, and the use of powerful legal measures is not only appropriate, but essential, in my view.
Ari, what is the definition of “force” that meets the requirements for sedition?
I ask as it relates to the act of submitting false electoral results. Are those people committing sedition by attempting to overthrow the government in that manner, as part of a larger coup attempt?
Not sure. I tend to think it would be defined by qualities of the perpetrator’s actions as opposed to the effects. I don’t know. Was wondering if force means physical force only or if a broader definition is applied to “force” as it relates to the “seditious conspiracy” law.
I hear you, Ari and do understand the process; but I want the “pawns” to be made accountable, as well. Surely, they knew that method of entry was wrong. In my pseudo-legal mind, it’s ’Breaking and Entering,’ a felony anywhere, I believe. Yes, we want the leaders dealt with, but this was just too raw-too disrespectful of our Constitution-the very instrument that maneuver us through all this craziness.
Thank you Ari on explaining the legal process of people involved in the insurrection from little guy to government officials will be questioned and held accountable.
Thank you for your clarity....as always!

Well said. May the God of all mercies be with us, and sustain us from such a corrupt society.
AMEN!
Thank you Olivia, I will add this to my daily prayers.🙏
Please pray harder. This prayer thing It’s not working.
We'll have to say MORE prayers every night, RIGHT? :)
Civil rights movement knew when prayers were not enough. At this moment in time we too will know when it’s time to boycott and fight back! Stay safe my brothers and sisters from another mother!
Iris, you stated your feelings with REAL clarity.....& truthfully.....
Faith moves GOD.

Benedict Donald

Michele....wish I had thought of that...very funny :)
Good idea

Kim! He IS darn smart isn't he? Not too bad......in his looks either! Well, I'm NOT blind so had to add that :)
Finally, some accountability in the future… we need to make room in our institutions for these criminals and seditionists!!
Michele.....'make room' yep! Hope they build enough jails to house these dangerous skum!
Let the people with minor marijuana infractions out.. that’ll definitely make room ☺️

Sedition indeed!
Maureen, You said it:- WOMEN'S MARCH! It explains somethings, right? :)
The 500,000 were made up of individuals who still believed in the inherent stability of our system and workings of democracy.
And Richard, who might they be ???? :)
All of this is emotionally satisfying, although I'll never understand why the Committee isn't using its inherent subpoena power, which would speed things up substantially.

100% agree. Enough already!
Olivia, I agree with that :)
Baba from your words to their ears.....wait just a bit, you'll see exactly why the committee held off doing exactly that! Seems to me they (might) want too sign-off on all those extra dots/dashes..... to making sure those subpoena's stick!!

Baba, give them time, they will! These things take a long time for one reason = they want ALL charges to "stick". :)
I totally agree!!
Ari, what is the definition of “force” that meets the requirements for sedition?
I ask as it relates to the act of submitting false electoral results. Are those people committing sedition by attempting to overthrow the government in that manner, as part of a larger coup attempt?
I'm just guessing Court, would multiple injuries, AND deaths = "force"?
Not sure. I tend to think it would be defined by qualities of the perpetrator’s actions as opposed to the effects. I don’t know. Was wondering if force means physical force only or if a broader definition is applied to “force” as it relates to the “seditious conspiracy” law.
Good point! I'll think about your comment, O.K?
Sounds good, Bernadette!
Ari should be awarded another Emmy for his coup coverage.
We saw Ari in full lawyer mode. He was awesome!!! Love it!!!
