Jan 6. panel says Scott Perry among multiple GOP lawmakers who wanted Trump pardon
Rep.
Scott Perry (R-Penn) was one of “multiple” GOP lawmakers who asked President Trump for pardons given their roles in seeking to unwind the 2020 election results, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol said in its first hearing Thursday night.
Perry’s office forcefully denied the allegation.
Vice Chair
Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.), who helped introduce former President Trump to a mid-level Justice Department attorney willing to forward his election fraud claims, was among several seeking pardons due to their roles.
“As you will see, Representative Perry contacted the White House in the weeks after January 6th to seek a presidential pardon. Multiple other Republican congressmen also sought presidential pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election,” Cheney said.
Perry spokesman Jay Ostrich denied that Perry sought a pardon from Trump.
“Laughable, ludicrous, and a thoroughly soulless lie,” Ostrich told The Hill.

Kushner dismisses Trump legal counsel threat to quit as ‘whining’
Former
Trump White House senior adviser
Jared Kushner dismissed threats from then-White House counsel
Pat Cipollone and his team to resign ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riots as “whining,” according to testimony aired during Thursday night’s committee hearing.
Rep.
Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), a member of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riots, asked Kushner during a recorded deposition whether he was aware of instances where Cipollone threatened to resign leading up to Jan. 6.
“I kind of, like I said, my interest at that time was on trying to get as many pardons done,” Kushner testified. “And I know that, you know, him and the team were always saying, ‘Oh we’re going to resign, we’re not going to be here if this happens, if that happens,’ so I kind of took it up to just be whining, to be honest to you.”
Cheney argued the threats from Cipollone and his team to step down in light of plans for a Jan. 6 rally outside the White House and claims of a rigged election were a sign of the seriousness of the situation unfolding in the final days of the Trump White House.
“It requires immediate attention,” Cheney said, adding that instead it was shrugged off by Kushner and others.
Kushner was one of several former Trump White House officials whose recorded testimony was played during Thursday night’s hearing, when committee members sought to make the case that the Jan. 6 riots were the direct culmination of words and actions by Trump in the months after the 2020 election.
Former Attorney General William Barr testified that he thought Trump’s claims about a rigged election were “bull—-,” and
Ivanka Trump, who is married to Kushner and also served as a senior White House adviser, told the committee that she believed Barr was right.

), if the Reps. would have broke w/Trump and let the bus run him over then reverse and do it again they'd already have regained some legitimacy and credibility. The lack of courage in the Rep. party is breathtaking and the fact that pandering chretins like Mc Carthy and Jordan are on tape lying and doing 180's and still viable is incredible. It is beyond shameful that the Rep. party is comprised of so many invertebrates whose conspiring has made the US a laughing stock and removed the moral high ground we once held. I really hope that these hearings change some minds that can still be persuaded to the truth, The premise that the midterms and 2024 will yield a Rep. victory and another Trump run is beyond comprehension and I fear catostrophic for our country going forward.
They will lie until they are placed under oath, then most will plead the 5th, or rat out others for a deal. Looks like they are zeroing in on the top, orange Mr. T himself and a lot of people are gonna end up doing a lot of time when the DOJ gets into it's stride on conspiracy indictments.
. Good luck folks! See you all on the other side.
