Lauren Boebert

A man who wore tactical military gear to the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building got slapped down by a judge after he tried to argue that he only wore the gear to protect himself from left-wing counterdemonstrators.

As reported by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, defense attorneys representing Capitol rioter Robert Gieswein told D.C. District Judge Trevor McFadden at a sentencing hearing on Friday that their client was "wearing gear strictly for protection purposes" when he joined his fellow Trump supporters in violently storming the Capitol.

John Eastman, the far-right lawyer who helped craft the proposal to throw out the results of the 2020 presidential election, is on the verge of being stripped of his law license from the state of California, reported NPR.

"The State Bar of California opened its case this week against Eastman in State Bar Court in downtown Los Angeles, arguing he knowingly and willfully pushed false and outlandish allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election, promoted an 'unlawful' scheme to overturn the election results, and should lose his law license. The trial continues today with additional testimony from the State Bar's witnesses," reported Tom Dreisbach. "'Dr. Eastman and President Trump conspired to disrupt the electoral count on Jan. 6,' said Duncan Carling, an attorney with the State Bar's Office of Chief Trial Counsel, in his opening statement."

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki took a few jabs at Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday over her House floor antics that led to a confrontation with fellow MAGA Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Discussing the altercation between the two where Greene called Boebert a "little b--ch," over a dispute over proposing impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire called what is going on within the GOP House caucus a "clown show."

That led co-host Joe Scarborough to add, "Jen Psaki, again, the chaos continues in the House. I can't help but think, at the end of the day, all this is going to do is damage the House candidates and turn the House back over to Democrats. "

"Well, exactly," the smiling Psaki replied. "I mean, in some ways, the White House and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee don't have to do much aside from get out of the way."

"As Jonathan just referenced, their entire message is competence versus chaos. As we just heard, kind of the outline from John Heilemann about the back-and-forth fight between Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, I mean, Lauren Boebert responded and said, 'I'm not in middle school.' It's like, are you sure you're not in middle school? That's how middle schoolers act, you know?" she laughed.

"If you're the American public sitting at home, you're thinking, 'what a waste of time, what a waste of my time that they are doing there," she added. "That is exactly the contrast that the White House, if you're sitting in the White House right now, my old colleagues there, if you're sitting in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and you're working with Democratic candidates, you're going to run on, 'We'll do something. We will fight for you the public. That is chaotic and crazy there, and we will not be that.'"

A new report from CNN reveals that Republican lawmakers from swing districts are getting increasingly fed up with their colleagues' insistence on pushing them to vote right-wing messaging bills that have no chance of becoming law.

According to CNN, GOP hardliners such as Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) have been trying to force votes on measures such as impeaching President Joe Biden that would require the votes of Republicans from districts that Biden won in 2020 to pass.

There were numerous members of the House that came together to run the first impeachment of Donald Trump, but the former president has always fixated on Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). On Wednesday night, Republicans moved to censure Schiff, which has only happened a few times in the past century. After the vote, Democrats chanted "shame, shame" to the GOP on the floor.

Speaking to "The View" on Thursday, Schiff described the action as purely political.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) blasted Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Thursday over her effort to impeach President Joe Biden.

During his House floor speech, McGovern noted that Boebert intended to force a vote on her impeachment articles against Biden for allegedly failing to secure the southern border.

During a Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," a normally unflappable Johnathan Lemire went off on a tirade aimed at House Republicans for wasting time trying to rally support for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.

Coming after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) suggested she will continue to push for impeachment hearings, Lemire lashed out at her antics while the GOP sits back and allows her to waste everyone's time.

"Oh, my god, thank god we don't have a $31 trillion debt that Donald Trump basically gave us and these same Republicans gave us," host Joe Scarborough prompted before noting reports that Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are in open warfare with other over who should be leading the charge for impeachment.

"It's dishonorable, dishonest and unserious," Lemire exclaimed. "That is what this is -- this is unserious. It is not a party that is showing any interest in governing; it is just about gestures and playing to the lowest common denominator, whether it's the Fox News viewer, the podcast listener or the person who will write them a check for their next campaign."

"There's no Biden crime family, but it's not stopping the Republicans from trying to spin this up into something, to do Donald Trump's bidding in terms of censuring Adam Schiff yesterday," he added. "This is rare. It's only happened three times this century. The last representative to be censured: Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) two years ago. He tweeted out an animated image of him murdering a colleague, a Democratic congresswoman, and threatening to kidnap President Biden."

"He was censured, rightly, for that behavior," he added. "Adam Schiff was censured for this behavior; the behavior of simply doing his job, of investigating Donald Trump's behavior. They dropped the $16 million fine that was on the table last week, but he still has now been censured."

Rank and file Republican House members are losing patience with the party's leadership for allowing committee chairs to keep launching politically-motivated investigations into Democrats that go nowhere, and floor impeachment proposals on the House floor.

That is the opinion of Brendan Buck, the former top advisor to ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan during an appearance on MSNBC's "Way Too Early" on Thursday morning when discussing Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's desire to impeach President Joe Biden.

The morning after special counsel John Durham was grilled over his investigation into the FBI that came up empty-handed, Buck called the series of hearings being conducted by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) and James Comer (R-KY) "politically dumb."

He then told host Jonathan Lemire that their patience is growing thin with the time-wasting jihads initiated by the rightwing extremists in the caucus.

"I feel for [House Speaker] Kevin McCarthy," Buck began. "A not insignificant part of the job of being speaker is stopping your members from doing something politically dumb -- and that's clearly what is going on here."

"But the reality is, House members are losing patience with a lot of these investigations. That's because they rushed out right after the election and said that, pretty plainly, that Joe Biden is part of some corruption deal with his son," he continued. "In fact, Jim Jordan and James Comer, the two party chairman came out and said they have direct evidence that Joe Biden was part of some schemes with overseas dealings. Of course, six months later, we've not seen any of that."

"So, at some point, your members get tired, lose patience, and they want to see action -- that's what came to a head with Rep. Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has put that to bed, but I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't bring itself back up in the not-too-distant future," he added.
