Investigating the Jan 6 th Uprising.

I equate "watching TV" to doing nothing....

 

The riot, the republic and the fight for America's soul

America survived the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but the explosion of political violence exposed the republic’s fragility. A year later, after an impeachment and amid federal investigations, the risk to U.S. democracy remains high, according to many elected officials and advocates. "Focusing on this as a genuine inflection point in American history comparable to the Civil War and the Revolution is not fanciful — it's absolutely historically correct," one historian said.

"...comparable to the civil war...", now that there's pretty funny.

 

They keep plucking that dead chicken: Their 2022 calendars

​

It's really really sad that you cannot understand that quote for what it was intended to say....

What would have been funny would have been watching you people downplaying Fort Sumter compared to.... say... Bunker Hill....

"Ah...it's just one little fort and it's in our territory anyway.... and nobody died ......no biggie"

You are fooling nobody who isn't already a fool....

 

It was a protest where a few people rioted and quite a few trespassed. It lasted a few hours and then everyone went home. All of the perps are being dealt with. And the Dems want to equate it with the civil war and milk it, and milk it and milk it, and ...

 

Oh... wait.... I get it.... you still think the term "January 6th" means just the hours of the riot and the idiots who got inside the Capitol....

Good luck with that narrative...

 

Yeah cuz there is still rioting going on across the country. Dems have announced they will release the results of their findings just before the election in the hopes of squeezing just a few more votes out of this one-time riot.

 

Not quite true.... they've indicated a preliminary report will come over the summer and the final in the fall...

And who do we have to blame for that timing?? Certainly not the committee itself...

 

Of course the committee. It is all about politics with this dishonest bunch. You don't seriously think it's a coincidence when they are releasing their final report? It's all about the timing.

 

If you want something sooner, stop fighting giving the committee what they need at every turn..

However, that ship has sailed..and sunk

 

I suppose that would be the thing to do if you hated executive privilege and don't think it should be maintained. I suppose that would be the thing to do if the purpose of this committee was to look into legislative improvements that could be made as opposed to having a purely hurt your political opponent agenda. Even if everyone gave the committee everything they wanted, they would still time the outcome to be most politically advantageous because the entire purpose of this committee is politics.

 

This whole committee is a nightmare for the Bill of Rights. The violations these *******s are making is insane and no one is saying much of anything about it on the MSM. I would go as far as to say virtually every member of that committee should be disbarred if they are a lawyer and should likely face Criminal Prosecution.

 

Probably true, but now you cannot say that since the first part of the equation is false..

Of course it's political (if and until it becomes legal)... the goal was stated perfectly by Elizabeth Cheney (R-WY) the other day...

Yeah I think we agree that the purpose of this committee is to smear DT as much as possible and to keep him and 1-6 in the public spotlight. Yes Cheney has an obsessive hatred of Trump. Releasing the results just before the election will give the Dem's allies in the news an excuse for blasting the 1-6 riot on the TVs as people are preparing to vote. I don't want DT to run again but this committee is trampling on privacy rights and executive privilege rights for the sole purpose of scoring political points. It serves no legitimate purpose.

 

The majority of the country disagrees with you... This committee is needed and supported.

They haven't "trampled" on a single valid executive privilege claim. In fact, EP has been honored, where applicable, by the Biden administration to the satisfaction of both legally concerned parties.

What the committee, and courts, will NOT do is allow EP to be completely abused by somebody who doesn't respect the Constitution in the first place..

 

Yeah, the Biden admin completely supports the sham committee being used as a political hammer. In the words of Meadows' lawyer:

"We agreed to provide thousands of pages of responsive documents and Mr. Meadows was willing to appear voluntarily, not under compulsion of the Select Committee’s subpoena to him, for a deposition to answer questions about non-privileged matters. Now actions by the Select Committee have made such an appearance untenable. In short, we now have every indication from the information supplied to us last Friday – upon which Mr. Meadows could expect to be questioned -= that the Select Committee has no intention of respecting boundaries concerning Executive Privilege."

 

They

It's a pity that wasn't the attitude taken. We could have avoided a pointless and bloody civil war.

 

LOL... then show up and claim EP to any individual question (or all) he feels warranted... as it is supposed to work..

You are buying that smokescreen from a LAWYER (your word) representing a aide to an seditionist?? Truly amazing... I want you on my jury!!

 

If you think that the committee /investigation is such a sham........... is your position that the Jan uprising should not even be investigated at all?? Just let it go as an every day riot that happens as part of the normal violent culture ??

Is this not a society of democratic principles and laws???

 

This committee is just Peach Mints 3.0 and a massive violation of the U.S. Constitution. It's like the 4th Amendment never existed with these scumbags in charge. When I read another American's private emails and they were never consulted, that's fully unconstitutional. All this committee is about is cover, because Democrats have zero accomplishments.

 

The whole purpose of the committee is to get Donald Trump. If Meadows' won't discuss confidential privileged discussions he had with the president then he is really of no use to the committee. Therefore, I have no doubt that the outline they presented was all about getting him to reveal privileged information. I believe Meadows' proposal to revise that to written questions seems extremely reasonable and will prevent this political show from trying to bully him into trampling on constitutional rights.

"...so that there might be both an orderly process and a clear record of questions and related assertions of privilege where appropriate."

 

The riot has been investigated to death and the perps are being prosecuted. This committee is supposed to be a legislative body while offices like the FBI conduct the criminal investigations. The FBI, as well as other investigative bodies, have conducted extreme and detailed investigations.

"The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials."

"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

 

What is it you think the term means? Is it supposed to indicate events of some other day? If so, you might want to have a chat with your branding guys.

 

It's now used to encapsulate all seditionist activities, from election day through 1/6. It's a wide period and a lot of sedition happening during that period, so there's really no single-term that can be used.

Fortunately, fatty gave us one, since he IS the marketing guy.... thanks for that...
