Perry has claimed his communications are barred from outside review because of constitutional protections afforded to members of Congress that were designed to let lawmakers better fulfill their official responsibilities...

...to overturn elections and usurp the Presidency.

yea, but if you are a Trump Lackey and "Freedum Caucass" Senator trying to overthrow the will and votes of the people any way you can, you don't want anything to do with your TREASONsupporting the 1/6 Insurrection to be any part of the public record!

The telling point is that Perry dropped his BUT MAH SPEECH'n'DEBATE CLAWS lawsuit.

If his attorneys thought there was a fleeting chance, that would never have happened. But it did. Thus, they didn't think it would fly. Because it is no part of a representative's job to overthrow representative government itself.

To overthrow the government? Yes. Every two years we toss the House and a third of the Senate. Every four we add in a chance to chuck the administration chucklefarks out on their collective ass. We've been successfully overthrowing our government for hundreds of years. It is in fact the main feature of the place. 

Somehow, it's only when the Slave Power - and Donnie KKK, Mister "Very Fine People" himself, absolutely qualifies as such - might lose privileges that it becomes a problem. Frankly? The problem is simple: We are not killing enough traitors.

Its an extension of the "speech and debate" clause in Article I. Same thing happened with William Jefferson(D), the bribe taking Congressman from New Orleans. FBI seized papers from his office. Both Republicans and Democrats protested and took it to court.

On Jan. 5, according to the docket, a three-judge appeals court panel put a temporary hold on Howell's ruling. The appeals panel assigned to the case - which includes Trump appointees Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas, as well as Karen Henderson, who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush - rejected prosecutors' immediate attempt to access Perry's documents. Those judges instead set out a schedule for additional legal briefing and a Feb. 23 oral argument at the Prettyman federal courthouse in Washington.

It's called an ECPA (electronic Communications Privacy Act) warrant. An electronic device can be seized with a regular search warrant but in order to actually view the content thereon the investigators have to obtain a warrant detailing what programs they want to search and what they expect to find.

Blathering Idjut: It's hard to believe the Founders expected the constitution to provide judicial protection for acts of treason against the United States.


The authors of the constitution absolutely knew there were ways for seditionists to subvert the constitution and the law. Some of that was by design and they thought it worth the risk. I do also think they were counting on a lower population and a lot more diversity in the press (ie not national corporate ownership of most media). Plus that government couldn't go as drastically against popular sentiment as ours has under either party due to legal bribes.

The House's decision to intervene in legal cases is governed by the "Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group," a five-member panel that includes McCarthy, his Democratic counterpart Hakeem Jeffries, and other members of House leadership. The panel voted unanimously to support the House's intervention in the matter, seeking to protect the chamber's prerogatives, according to one of the two people familiar with the proceedings.

BsAbSvR! WhArGaRbLe!

I mean, vote for whoever you want. One side has their oligopoly of American politics in plain view, and the other side wants you to believe they represent an alternative. Same coin, same bird, same governance.

When matrix quotes aptly describe your "democracy" its humorous how aggressive some of you get defending your "tribe" even though most of the people you stan for wouldn't order their retinue to piss on you if you were on fire.

Scott Perry apparently agrees that there is evidence of criminal activity around, probably on his phone. Why? He sought a pardon from Trump, and accepting a pardon is evidence of guilt. Of course, he committed some of these acts in plain view.

Yep. That was him. $90,000 in cash stored in his freezer from a $100,000 bribe he accepted on camera earlier. The ridiculous thing is that a lot of his charges were overturned after the Supreme Court legalized bribery for influence peddling in the governor McDonald case. It basically made it so that accepting bribes favors in exchange for corresponding favors by a government official is completely legal. Both sides have to say "this is a bribe" for it to count.
