    Siblings of GOP Rep. Paul Gosar want him kicked out of Congress, and call him 'a traitor to this country'

    The siblings of GOP Rep. Paul Gosar are calling for their brother's removal from Congress.

    "I consider him a traitor to this country," Dave Gosar said of his brother to NBC News.

    Gosar has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump's debunked election claims.

    For months, GOP Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona has been one of the most vocal supporters of former President Donald Trump's debunked election claims. Now, his siblings are calling for his ouster from Congress for backing the former president's claims of a "rigged" election.

    Dave Gosar, a Wyoming lawyer and one of Gosar's nine siblings, told NBC News that his brother was a "traitor."

    "I consider him a traitor to this country. I consider him a traitor to his family," he said, according to a report published on Monday. "He doesn't see it. He's disgraced and dishonored himself."

    Dave Gosar told NBC that his estranged brother has not yet been severely reprimanded due to political considerations.

    "They're trying to bury it just like they bury everything in the past. And I want to tell you if they think that's going to fly this time, they're sorely mistaken," he said, adding: "I think he should be removed from Congress, and they have the power to do it, no matter what they tell you."

    Jennifer Gosar, a Spanish translator and the congressman's sister, told NBC that she was "shocked" that no action been taken against her brother regarding his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

    "I'm shocked that he's not censured now, that there hasn't been a process for expulsion," she said. "I mean, I think all the elements are clear. And maybe there's something I'm missing, but they're not acting on it to really allay any fears of the public."

    When now-President Joe Biden appeared to be the victor in Arizona after Election Day last year, Gosar pushed unfounded theories that "glitches" could have impacted the final results.

    On January 6, Gosar also objected to the certification of the presidential results from Arizona, a swing state that Biden won by a little over 10,000 votes, demanding that a full audit be conducted in electoral behemoth Maricopa County.

    After the deadly riot that occurred on that same day, Gosar has repeatedly pressed government officials about the death of Ashli Babbitt, an insurrectionist who was killed by Capitol Police. And, during a congressional hearing earlier this month, he criticized the circumstances behind her death.

    After the hearing, GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who was removed from the House Republican leadership team over her vocal criticism of Trump's false election claims, rebuked Gosar for saying that Babbitt was "executed" by the Capitol Police.

    Six of Gosar's nine siblings first attracted national attention in the 2018 election cycle when they were featured in an television ad, pleading with voters not to support the congressman's reelection bid.

    Earlier this month, siblings Tim and David Gosar appeared on CNN and apologized for the congressman's conduct and comments about the Capitol insurrection.

    "On behalf of the actual sane members of our family - which is everyone but Paul - we apologize … for [Gosar's] despicable comments and disgraceful conduct through this whole incident," David Gosar said at the time.

    During the CNN interview, Tim Gosar also blasted the congressman's behavior.

    "Once you lose your focus on the truth, once you become someone that peddles in lies, once you become basically a snake oil salesman, the truth is a really slippery thing to get your arms around," he said. "It's really hard to go back to the truth once you become a pathological liar like Paul has become."

    If questioning the results of an election makes you a traitor...what does that say about all you people who questioned the results of the 2016 election?

    Why can't any of you people just explain your argument, in a calm, rational, persuasive way, instead of resorting to ad hominems?

    Trump isn't going to prison. He won't be convicted of anything. These nutjobs are complete failures. Everything they've tried, from Stormy Daniels, to small hands, to tax returns, to four years of 24/7 fake Russian collaboration propaganda, to a transcribed phone call manufactured panic, to two bogus impeachments, to a Capitol Hill frame job, every single time they've fell flat on their faces in disgrace. This new set of desperate calls to jail Trump will end the exact same way. In abysmal failure. Trump is charmed. He's being used as an instrument of higher forces. Nothing can touch him right now. Nothing on this earth. Nothing at all.

    House to vote on bill launching probe of Jan. 6 insurrection
    By MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press


    WASHINGTON (AP) — A new committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol would have 13 members and the power to subpoena witnesses, according to legislation released by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday. The House is expected to vote on the bill this week.

    The effort comes after Senate Republicans blocked the formation of an independent, bipartisan commission to probe the attack, in which hundreds of former President Donald Trump’s supporters violently broke into the Capitol and interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.

    The new, partisan House panel would have eight members appointed by Pelosi and five appointed “after consultation with” Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy. A Pelosi aide said the speaker is considering including a Republican among her appointments, which would bring the likely partisan split to 7-6. The aide was granted anonymity to discuss her thinking.

    Pelosi said in a statement that Jan. 6 was “one of the darkest days in our nation’s history” and that the committee will seek the truth about it.

    “The Select Committee will investigate and report upon the facts and causes of the attack and report recommendations for preventing any future assault," she said.

    Many Republicans were concerned about such a partisan probe, since majority Democrats are likely to investigate Trump’s role in the siege and the right wing groups that were present for it. Almost three dozen House Republicans voted to create an independent panel, which would have had an even partisan split among members. Seven Republicans in the Senate supported moving forward on that bill, but that was short of the 10 Senate Republicans who would be necessary to pass it.

    As laid out in Pelosi’s legislation, the new select committee would have subpoena power and no specific end date. The panel can issue interim reports as it conducts the probe.

    Trump is not explicitly referenced in the legislation, which directs the select committee to investigate “facts, circumstances and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power." The panel would also study “influencing factors that fomented such an attack on American representative democracy while engaged in a constitutional process.”

    The House passed the bill to form an independent commission last month, and Pelosi, D-Calif., said it was her preference to have an independent panel lead the inquiry. But she said last week that Congress could not wait any longer to begin a deeper look at the insurrection so she would form the select panel. She has not said who will lead it.

    Still, Pelosi said that the select committee could be complementary to an independent panel, should one ever be formed, and that she is “hopeful there could be a commission at some point.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said he might hold a second vote, but there’s no indication that any GOP votes have changed.

    Many Republicans have made clear that they want to move on from the Jan. 6 attack, brushing aside the many unanswered questions about the insurrection, including how the government and law enforcement missed intelligence leading up to the rioting and the role of Trump before and during the insurrection.

    Others in the GOP have gone further, with one suggesting the rioters looked like tourists and another insisting that a Trump supporter named Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed while trying to break into the House chamber, was “executed.”

    Two officers who battled the rioters, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone and Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, have been lobbying Republicans to support an independent commission and met with McCarthy on Friday. Afterward, they said they had asked McCarthy to denounce GOP comments downplaying the violence.

    In the absence of an independent commission, Fanone said he asked McCarthy for a commitment not to put “the wrong people” on the new select panel and that McCarthy said he would take it seriously. McCarthy's office did not respond to requests for comment on either the meeting or the legislation to form the select committee.

    The officers also asked McCarthy to denounce 21 Republicans who voted earlier this month against giving medals of honor to the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police to thank them for their service on Jan. 6. Dozens of those officers suffered injuries, including chemical burns, brain injuries and broken bones.

    McCarthy, who voted for the measure, told them he would deal with those members privately.

    Seven people died during and after the rioting, including Babbitt and three other Trump supporters who died of medical emergencies. Two police officers died by suicide in the days that followed, and a third officer, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, collapsed and later died after engaging with the protesters. A medical examiner later determined he died of natural causes.

    Analysis: Trump's false reality is being exposed on multiple fronts
    Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN


    Former President Donald Trump is facing a wall of accountability and truth as new revelations and investigations expose his abuses of power, delusional lies about the election and business conduct to ever greater scrutiny.

    Just consider what has taken place over the last several days:

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday announced a House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection Trump incited.

    Details in new books about Trump's misconduct in office underscore the depth of his autocratic threat.

    A stunning report revealed that former Attorney General William Barr thought his voter fraud claims were "bull---," shattering Trump's voter fraud lies.

    A GOP-led report into Trump's delusional claims of a stolen election in Michigan turned up nothing.

    Trump's chief propagandist of voter fraud, Rudy Giuliani, already suffered the consequences for his campaign of falsehoods by seeing his law license suspended.

    And, perhaps most seriously for Trump, the ex-President's lawyers met prosecutors on Monday in a last-ditch effort to stave off criminal charges possibly targeting the Trump Organization and its namesake's longtime financial guru, Allen Weisselberg.

    The confluence of dangers facing Trump would usually be sufficient to doom any presidential legacy and rupture any hopes of a political comeback in 2024. Yet the question is now what it always has been: Will a twice-impeached former President who has always kept one step ahead of the law and political gravity by disdaining truth and ignoring shame pay a price for any of it?

    Wild behavior
    This issue is all the more acute in the wake of the former President's wild rally in Ohio on Saturday night, when his unhinged rhetoric and dark demagoguery highlighted the peril he still poses to democratic values.

    He took the stage facing legal, political and personal challenges that have grave implications for his hopes of a political rebound and the fate of his business, which forms the foundation of his legend of deal-making greatness. But as his rapturous reception showed, the former President's impervious support among the Republican base and devoted millions of followers means there is probably nothing that emerges from any kind of investigation that will dent his personality cult.

    And while in Ohio, Trump spelled out that he knows exactly what power he has over his base.

    "I represent what they want," Trump said, speaking of a police officer he supposedly met while in office. "They want law, and they want order. And that's what you want. That's what this country wants."

    Still, Trump's uncontrolled behavior and extremism helped devastate the Republican vote in suburbs in swing states like Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania. So while he might still be seen as the favorite for the 2024 GOP nomination, his chances of winning a national election may be further eroding.

    While there has been a series of blows in recent days to Trump's false narrative that he was deprived of a second term by a massive Democratic Party conspiracy, facts are again unlikely to tip the balance among supporters fed a stream of lies about the election by a compliant conservative media machine.

    The former President is doing what he always does, portraying scrutiny and accountability as evidence of an establishment conspiracy biased against him, and painting a narrative of grievance that his supporters always buy in to. Such a conceit has always been at the center of his political appeal for voters who gravitated toward his assaults on a political system from which they felt alienated. To further his strategy, any legal cases against the Trump Organization are sure to be turned into a pageant of personal persecution by the former President.

    Will the truth matter?
    New evidence that November's election was free and fair is also no more likely to convince his followers that their hero lost than the multiple cases thrown out of court.

    A sham audit of votes in Arizona by Republican state senators is, in fact, likely to further fuel the former President's volcanic behavior if it feeds the conservative narrative of irregularities that were rejected by multiple judges.

    For example, after details emerged from an excerpt of a new book -- "Betrayal," by ABC's Jon Karl -- that depicts Barr as savaging Trump's claim he was cheated out of power last November, the former President issued an extraordinary statement.

    The more than 500-word rant not only blasted Barr, despite his repeated impression of tilting the scales of justice to benefit the ex-President. It also suggested that Trump has traveled even further from reality in his five months out of power as he pointed to "incredible facts" about cheating that were largely recycled and already disproven conspiracies born of conservative media.

    It was unhinged rhetoric that gave a strong impression that the former President now exists in a bunker-like mentality, deeply convinced of his own invented version of reality.

    Yet this is the same powerful political force that is still effectively the leader of the Republican Party -- one who has left party leaders like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky afraid to take him on and is making support for his election lies the dominant issue in Republican Party primary races.

    Trump's fantastical claims of voter fraud are also the driving force behind multiple efforts by GOP state lawmakers across the country to make it harder for many Democrats, including minorities, to vote.

    Some bills equip partisan officials to interfere in local certification processes and institutionalize the kind of pressure that Trump placed on local GOP officials in Georgia to steal victory in November.

    Former President Barack Obama warned on Monday that such measures could effectively make it easier for malcontents like Trump to cheat in future elections.

    "If we don't stop these kinds of efforts now ... we are going to see a further delegitimizing of our democracy," Obama said.

    It's also unlikely that Pelosi's select committee will fracture the fallacies Trump supporters believe about January 6. In fact, Trump acolytes like Georgia's Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are trying to get appointed to the panel in order to turn its meetings into a circus.

    A grave legal threat
    There was fresh evidence of Trump's incandescent state of mind as his lawyers met with prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office in an effort to persuade them not to pursue charges for alleged financial crimes by the company.

    Trump claimed the team was "rude, nasty, and totally biased" against him, claimed they were trying to destroy him and the "Make America Great Again" movement and were radical leftists who were a disgrace to the nation.

    The former President no longer has his social media accounts and cannot propagate his fury without the help of retweets and conservative media appearances. But his statement was a taste of the vitriol sure to flow from his camp if charges are brought against his organization.

    A flurry of exposés from Trump's desperate last days in office is emerging, meanwhile, from a series of forthcoming books. According to Karl, the then-President had "the eyes and mannerism of a madman," in the words of one attendee at a meeting between Trump and Barr after the attorney general said there was no evidence of widespread election fraud.

    In another account, by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender, Trump is depicted as getting into a shouting match with Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after saying he wanted to send the US military into cities that he claimed were in flames amid violence.

    Critics often accuse the Washington media of addiction to insider accounts of the crazed behavior inside Trump's West Wing. Yet while these books, and the contributions of officials like Barr, who spoke to Karl on the record, do come across as an attempt at reputation repair, they also perform a valuable service.

    The accounts are building a record of malfeasance on the behalf of the former President. They show just how close American democracy came to the brink, thanks to a former commander in chief who tried to use tactics familiar to the autocrats, like China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin, who he so admired.

    Trump's certain attempts to make his enemies pay a price for a tightening vice of accountability mean that the process of healing from the trauma of his aberrant presidency is only just beginning, and is likely to further disrupt the country's fragile political equilibrium.

    There is actually no claim here. It's just one journalist making something up, and another journalist citing them, admitting the first just made it up. Then another will cite the second, and another will cite the third. Eventually with enough circular references a fact is born. Then they award each other prizes for their journalistic integrity.

    To read this, to me, it's a celebration of ignorance. We are in a post-fact world when it comes to these articles.

    They'll lie to you, and not even explain when caught, just make up a whole new lie.

    Eventually they wear you down, you give up, and the ignorance wins.
