RIP January 6th committee

[flogger]

Well, today is the last public meeting of the Select Congressional committee on the January 6th insurrection of the Capital Building by the evil Donald Trump and his supporters.

Not sure how the rest of you feel, I voted for the guy, and I think he was screwed in the election but what went down at the Capital was wrong, Trump should have stepped in before it went to hell (or tried too). He had a lot of passionate followers who were fueled up and ready to do anything he 'ordered'. I also believe the Democrats knew what was going to happen, it was like a movie set for them! There are hundreds of questions that were never brought up in this committee, there was no one to raise the questions!

Back to the clown show. Waste of time, big waste of money and a great example of the Left driving a larger wedge between the parties in an attempt to tear this country apart. They had to rush and get this done before the Republicans start their own investigation on their own after the official power shift.

In the end, they voted to refer criminal charges against Trump to the DOJ. Gee! Didn't see that coming!

He did try to step in. He literally told everyone to go home. He told everyone to remain peaceful, and asked for no violence and repeatedly said "we are the party of law and order and to respect the law and men and women in blue.

It's weird that the committee has no interest in investigating why the House Sargent at Arms and the Senate Sargent at Arms both rejected COP Sunds request for additional support on Jan 4th and then just one day later the Mayor sent out a letter informing the DOD that MPD had it under control and under no circumstances should additional federal support be provided unless the District requested it. One day the MPD asked for help, the next day the City notified the feds not to help.

Every agency in the town refused additional support in the days leading up to it.

And then the completely incompetent dipshits coordinating the LE response ended up requesting Guard support anyway that afternoon after they couldn't handle it.

Now that the TV shows are over, maybe it can drop.

It's not over.

Referred to the DOJ for prosecution.

"The referrals include obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., making a false statement, and inciting an insurrection, the last of which could disqualify Trump from holding public office in the future."

Yes, I mean that now that it is out of the Political Arm of the Congress, and on to the (supposedly non-political) Judicial, maybe it can drop.

It is, after all, totally made up, just like the "Russian Conspiracy."

Good post, Hollohas.

How did he try to step in?

He did tell people to stay peaceful, on Twitter, an hour after the first group of idiots entered the Capitol.

Is a tweet going to stop the protestors? They are not wandering around glued to their phones and when he says stop, they stop. That's nonsense- you can't stop a mob with a tweet.

Short of him dangling from a helicopter with a bullhorn, there is no way for him to get any message to the fools kicking through barriers and breaking windows.

What moron is not glued to their phone in today's society. Way too many grown assed men walking around with a phone glued to their puss

I think the whole reason the Left is pushing this kangaroo court is to keep Trump from running again, they fear him.

The Republicans will spend another 2 years and countless tax payers dollars trying to clear him with another Congressional Committee and the whole bunch will continue to pass spending bills to keep the govt running. It gets old.
