From Byron York, at the Washington Examiner, "You've seen the polls showing that large majorities of Democratic voters want the party to pick a new nominee for president in 2024, bypassing incumbent President Joe Biden. Now we're seeing the living embodiment of those polls as some important Democratic lawmakers distance themselves from, or outright oppose, a reelection run by the nearly 80-year-old president."

successor for the November ballot. That’s Zachery Potts, and he perished in

they are not sure how many voters were affected by the shortage and emphasized

Emails also refer to Hunter Biden paying portions of his father’s expenses and taxes. Recently, there was additional support showing that “the Big Guy” was indeed Joe Biden.

Congressman Andy Biggs at Town Hall, The January 6th Committee Kindly Asks You to Ignore the FBI "The FBI found no evidence President Trump, or his allies coordinated any part of the Capitol riots. The January 6thCommittee would like for you to ignore that." From the Conservative Review, Mark Levin Destroyed the January 6 Committee With This Epic Truth Bomb.
Mark Levin took the January 6 Committee to school after reports indicated that the Biden Department of Justice was investigating Donald Trump related to charges of obstructing an official proceeding and seditious conspiracy.
Levin – who is a lawyer by training – explained that the committee and Department of Justice lacked any evidence proving Trump committed a crime telling viewers that there are no texts or emails showing Trump intended for his supporters to enter the Capitol and disrupt Congress certifying the Electoral College results.
“Well, ladies and gentlemen, have you seen any of that? Any of the emails? Any of the texts? Any of the firsthand testimony? Anything on a graphic? Anything on a video? Anything by anybody, anywhere despite the fact that this Committee has free rein? You haven’t seen any,” Levin stated.
Levin also debunked the idea that submitting an alternate slate of electors from states Trump planned to contest constituted a crime as this has happened before in previous elections.
“There has been no conspiracy to defraud the United States. There’s been no obstruction. There’s been no seditious conspiracy. Oh, but what about the so-called fake electors? That is to be resolved by the United States Congress. That is not a crime, either,” Levin added.
Levin added that not everyone would agree with or like the legal theories advanced by Trump and his lawyers to contest the election on January 6.
But making novel, dubious, or even bad legal arguments is not a crime.
