Obstructing an official proceeding. Federal felony, what many of the January 6th defendants were charged with. Potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Of course, in practice the results will be much less severe.
Pretty much. He was trying to bide a bit of time in a moronic way in order to give democrats more than 5 minutes to look at the 45 day budget bill the Republicans were trying to immediately force a vote on before it could be read at all. Surprise surprise, one of the first crooked things found in it was a raise to give themselves.
The proof of the case for January 6 defendants involves the fact that they were overrunning police barricades and very obviously intending to disrupt the proceeding.
I wonder if the prosecution think there’s enough proof as to the distinguished gentleman’s case, where his intent is muted by the desire not to disrupt but to ensure compliance with the duly enacted house rules.
Shit show.
Depending on what wmthw Republican cunts tried to sneak into it, the gentleman may be morally justified, or even morally obliged.
