I honestly don't care about the political hoopla happening right now, i.e. the court case. It's clear that on Jan 6th the protestors could just walk into the White House, with minimal resistance. If it were a different administation, say Obama, the capitol would've been blockaded and armed to the teeth. There was plenty of warning.
At the same time... all the current hoopla has nothing to do with justice. It's just about making sure Trump can't successfully run in the next election, because you know he will try and likely win.
I’m not trying to beat a dead horse, but this isn’t a trial/court case. In fact, once the committee adjourns, nothing can or will happen unless DOJ moves forward with the unprecedented step of indicting a former president.
In addition, the protesters didn’t go anywhere near the White House on January 6. If it were any other administration, there’d be no need for security guards and blockades because no other administration has tried to overturn election results and upend the peaceful transfer of power. Ever. Trump did that.
And the goal from this committee is fact-finding, exposing the true events that lead up to January 6, and what changes can help avoid the possibility of a similar plan from succeeding in the future (e.g. reforming the Electoral Vote Count Act to remove any ambiguity in the process; defining deadlines and processes by which the “keys must be turned over to allow the incoming administration access to funds, offices, resources, etc.).
Personally, I hope that the testimony/evidence presented will be enough to ensure there is justice for those who are guilty of crimes committed; no one is above the law. I’m not attorney but as former Legal Q&A moderator(… LOL …) I suspect there is enough evidence here and, even more likely, in Georgia, to support criminal charges against Trump.
The chances of Trump running and winning are slipping… at least the winning part. And, if that looks to be a losing proposition (as other Republicans with less baggage get ready to enter the field, does he really want to risk being a primary loser??
I suspect he’s more intrigued by the ability to be immune from prosecution for 4 years, hand out more pardons, and further dismantle any remaining norms of our government. As many have said, Republicans included, he poses an existential threat to our country. His Supreme Court appointments alone have already taken a hammer to jurisprudence and have taken away the rights of millions of women. And they’re posed to do even more damage next term. (Did you know Thomas actually cited Dred Scott in his opinion ruling against the a state of New York’s gun restrictions? It’s nuts!)
To those who said the J6C wouldn’t/couldn’t possibly turn up other facts not already known cannot honestly defend this claim. The hearings have been well done, informative, and even compelling. We’ve yet to hear from the documentary team who had unfettered access leading up to and after the insurrection. This was news to almost everyone. Looking forward to those tapes as well as what new witnesses have come forward.
. Glowies just doing what they do I reckon. Seems like he would be the perfect person For a show trial and state media to feature in their propaganda reels.
