It’s heartening to see folks like federal prosecutor Joyce Alene paying attention to your bombshell Jan. 6 reporting. I’m hopeful this story continues to gain traction (with proper attribution, of course).

It’s also interesting to see just how many folks went out of their way to personally attack you and your work either on here or on social media, just because you’re reporting something that puts their team on the wrong side of history (not to mention engaging in activities that are quite possibly criminal).

I keep wondering when the cult misinformation bubble is going to burst for these people. Or if that’s even possible any longer for these folks who choose to swallow wholesale lies daily from a career con man.

The level of personal attacks in the past 24 hours has been off the charts, and it will only continue in the days ahead. There are people who just cannot stomach the idea that a news story runs against their team, especially on the Trump side.

I keep waiting for the "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" moment. I'm not sure it's coming.

The bubble breaks when Donald Trump goes to prison.

Thank you for noting and linking President Biden's proposal for a "No President Is Above the Law" constitutional amendment. This is a reminder that Joe Biden not only remains president for the remainder of the year but his energy and vision for the future remain durable and focused. Like many other important proposals this is dead on arrival thanks to Republican opposition, but as current events clearly show, a binding code of ethics and term limits for the Court are long overdue.

So I haven't look at the term limit proposal yet. How would this affect the current Judges? The ethics reform should have been in place long ago.

Term limits for SCOTUS only works on paper. In reality, they would just retire/resign in advance of elections more than they already do. Ethics reform is a winning issue though.

Great reporting Jamie! I hope your story explodes across social and mainstream media outlets.

Jamie, your scoop is phenomenal! I loved the Jamie 3.0 version of this stellar reporting. Does the Joyce Allene you mention also go by Joyce Vance, which would be her married name? Much less important, under the heading Great Eight, Senator Mark Kelly, in a typo, is listed as a republican. That would be terrible, if it were true! Ha!
