Cicilline is fantastic.
Gaetz: I mean the last Republican president to get sworn in absent Democratic objectors was George Herbert Walker Bush
Cicilline: I said I will allow the chairman to determine whether or not someone has participated in the insurrection of the United States. I think this language is important. I'm asking Mr. Gaetz will you now accept the amendment?
Gaetz: I'm concerned that you may be disqualifying too many of your own members, Mr Cicilline.
Cicilline: I'm not concerned about that at all, then agree to the amendment? | [

It is controversial in the sense that Matt Gaetz, an insurrectionist, proposed an amendment to read the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the beginning of every House Judiciary Committee meeting. Cicilline then offered an amendment to that which would effectively bar Gaetz himself from being the person citing the Pledge due to his participation in January 6.
Gaetz then tried to spin it and claim that Democrats objecting to electors is the same as January 6 insurrectionists and claimed that, by that standard, 'many Democrats would be barred as well.' | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)
WASHINGTON - A routine House committee meeting erupted into a heated, nearly hourlong debate Wednesday over the Pledge of Allegiance, with one Democratic lawmaker saying that "Insurrectionists" who backed former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election should be banned from leading it.
It began after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., offered an amendment that would give the committee the opportunity to begin each of its meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the committee's ranking member, immediately objected, arguing that House members already recite the pledge on the floor every day.

I will say that Trump should be getting all of his properties searched not because of it not being equal. The situations are not equal. The similarities are that classified documents are involved. What Trump knowingly did and his refusal to return documents is far worse and points to a guilty mind. He should be the investigated and searched and monitored so he doesn't destroy evidence or pass on Intelligence. | [

If they find something and find intent, charge Biden no different than Trump.
But there's still a world of difference between "I'm reporting these documents we found and working with the FBI and DOJ to search anywhere they think is needed to find anymore documents that may have been incorrectly stored" vs "I'm not going to comply with requests for the documents, not going to comply with a subpoena, get raided by the FBI, then sue to try and get those documents back." | [

(CNN) — The FBI is conducting a search of President Joe Biden’s home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday as a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified material begins in earnest.
“Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware,” Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer wrote in a statement.
“Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer said. “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search.”
Reporters positioned in the coastal community observed black sport utility vehicles and sedans arriving to the home mid-morning.
The FBI search in Rehoboth marks the third known occasion that federal agents have searched properties associated with Biden to look for classified material.
The FBI previously searched Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, turning up what his lawyer described as multiple items containing classified material. That search occurred January 20.
The FBI also searched the Washington office of the Penn Biden Center in mid-November after Biden’s attorneys first discovered classified material in a locked closet at the think tank.
Biden purchased his home in Rehoboth after leaving the vice presidency. He and his wife occasionally spend weekends there, most recently from January 20 to 23. | [

A “raid” implies the use of a warrant and a lack of cooperation. No warrant was required in this case as the president’s team is fully cooperating. | [
