GOP Rep. Banks: If the January 6 Committee Has Done Anything, It Has Exonerated Trump

“This is the best that they can do. They haven’t proven anything. If they’ve done anything, they’ve exonerated President Donald Trump and Republicans who supported him. At the end of the day, too, you got Pelosi — the Pelosis doing insider stock trading, you got Hunter Biden’s legal issues. You have this film crew for Stephen Colbert coming to the Capitol. The Biden DOJ is supposed to be colorblind. Instead, they view everything through the political prism of ideology of those on the right and left. It’s a two-tier system of justice.”

What congressman Banks is reported saying to the media here is exactly right. The unselect committee has nothing on Trump at all. Democrats have their own issues they are hiding from. The public sees this kangaroo court show trial for the fraud that it is.

 

Trump is exonerated and the double standards of justice by the democrat party has been exposed

 

.... well, and even AOC has now admitted that Capitol Police just opened up the doors and let people in (after her social media meltdown after Alex Stein trolled her).

 

Gee... it's just stunning this asshat wasn't allowed on the committee.....

 

Only in the wildest imaginations of those living in a fantasy world.

If you think the only purpose of the hearing was to attain a criminal charge, perhaps you'll end up being right and there will be nothing to charge him with.

But that's not the only purpose. These hearings have also served to reveal in one place the most comprehensive picture of what was going on with Trump and his team.

There was already enough knowledge before these hearings to know that Trump acted despicably up to and including Jan 6th. Now it's solidified it even more.

It's not the Trump haters who didn't need to hear any of it to dislike Trump or the Trump lovers who will never believe anything negative about the guy who were going to be swayed. It's the undecideds, the on-the-fencers. The folks who will think twice about casting their vote for a man who says and does the things that Trump does. Certainly doesn't mean they'll vote Democrat, but it certainly isn't going to hurt those chances either.

With much better options in the GOP, why anyone would want that guy back in office, ever, is beyond me. Cult of personality I suppose.

 

Well, it's pretty obvious Banks is a useful idiot and a cheap bootlicker, QED.

 

It’s a kangaroo court worthy of Nazis. No defense is allowed, no cross examination and the entire committee is made up of Trump haters who voted to impeach him.

 

That's because it's not a trial...

If they end up charging him with something, he'll have the opportunity to mount a defense against those charges in criminal court.

 

I imagine he'll offer up the full Steve Bannon defense..

But the guy who called for trumps impeachment before he ever took office is lol

 

So since when does the government have the right to present a “committee” review process on prime time national television when they are ONLY presenting one side of the issue? That’s bullshit and you know it.

It’s the very definition of a kangaroo court.

You gonna be okay with the GOP creating a sham committee and investigating their political opposition on national television while only presenting evidence that supports their position and disregarding all evidence that doesn’t?

And then if they don’t charge him with a crime, then what? Does he get to sue them? Nope they’re immune because it occurred during a congrsssional hearing. So they can lie through their teeth, character assassinate their political opposition and face no consequences… again that’s bullshit and you know it.

 

And because the minority leader was not allowed to pick the persons on the minority side on the committee, it’s a one sided unselect committee we hold in contempt and only partisan democrats will care what they have to say about anything. This committee will cease to exist in 5 months and at least two of them won’t even be in congress in January

 

He stands for truth, justice, and the American way. He stands up and speaks truth to power in DC.

 

Not to mention no subpoena power, no expert witnesses on the defense side, no minority leader selected committee members. And they wonder why we could care less what the fascists on the committee have to say or what their tainted “findings” might be.

 

Sure, while he's a useful idiot and a cheap bootlicker. He can do two things well....

 

The left is just upset that there is some news media out there reporting any perspective from the opposing side at all.

 

“Well, it's pretty obvious Banks is a useful idiot and a cheap bootlicker, QED.”


Do you think you will prove your point by spamming my thread and saying the same thing again?

 

Spamming your thread? You brought in Banks, a useful seditionist idiot for Trump while licking Trump's boots clean. Facts, real not alternative....

 

Government hearings have always worked this way. They are under no obligation to function like a court trial, because neither the hearings nor the people conducting them have any power to punish Trump in any way. That would require a criminal trial, in which Trump would be able to invent his defense

Nor are these Democrats getting up there and talking. They are witnesses who have some involvement with the events that happened that day and the events that led up to it.

That, and we've all heard Trump's side of the story. He's been screaming it nonstop since election day in 2020. He's just never been able to offer up any evidence to prove it.

 

They’re putting him on trial in the court of public opinion hoping to kill any chance at 2024.

 

Politicians are on trial in the court of public opinion every day of their lives. And if Trump was concerned about the potential consequences of all his election fraud shenanigans, he had ample time between election day and Jan 6th to stop with the nonsense. But he's Trump and he couldn't and so now we are here.

 

When they are finished pretending to 'defend our democracy', they can get back to their daytime jobs which is to represent the American People. We should vote out these actors post-haste because they've proven time and again that they will not serve the Public. Without a functioning House of Representatives, it's hard to accomplish the things we need to accomplish: Energy sector reforms, inflation control, etc.

 

I won't argue with fact that the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats have largely done nothing. But that doesn't mean the hearings aren't important. It just means they've been shirking their duty to other things that are also important.

 

As you and ShadowX elaborated, this whole facade means nothing outside of a court of law. Meaning this should be(and should have been) long ago handed to the attorney general. It wasn't that long ago when this same body crowed to let Mueller finish his work, but apparently now they don't trust the Department of Justice(well, at least not wholeheartedly). The irony, is that it's Biden's handpicked DOJ.

Regardless of disagreeing on their import, we do agree that they've been shirking their day jobs and that is of far greater importance: Trump is but one man, the Republic will hopefully live on centuries after this moment. That is my wish for US prosperity.

 

I think the voters have a right to know what their president and those who helped him did to cause Jan 6th. And it's good that they hear it from people who were right there and involved when it was happening.

For the Republic to live on, we can't allow immature self-obsessed presidents with bruised egos and no coping skills to attempt to subvert our government when he doesn't like the results of an election. That is extremely important, no less than other things. Had Mike Pence not been a man of honor, we could be in a very different position right now. Sure, eventually it would have been determined that he didn't have the authority to prevent the election from being certified, but not before grave damage would have been done.

I'm no Biden fan and the Democrats are largely a useless bag of dicks, but these hearings are one of a select few things they are doing that is right and necessary. Well, that and the CHIPS act.
