Summary
Part 1 of a 2 part podcast. Donald Trump is doubling-down on his plan to prosecute the innocent - the members of the January 6th House Select Committee who investigated and exposed Trump's democracy-busting January 6th crimes.
Trump defiantly announced that he wants Cheney and the others in prison for investigating him. Trump's promise to vindictively pursue Cheney, Representative Bennie Thompson, and the other members of the committee, is an obvious and extreme abuse of governmental power.
