So ...if DT doesn't hold that 1/6 rally......the riot and siege on the capital still happens? 

Nope.  The riot happened because of the rally - of course.  And in a normal world, we’d condemn the riot and everyone would move on to stuff that matters.  
 

Instead the Dems are weaponizing it as “insurrection” to keep the focus on Trump, and off Biden.  Not a bad strategy, as boomer libs love this stuff.

Democrats Spread 'Capitol Police Statement' Before Vote on 1/6 Commission but There Was One Big Problem

by Nick Arama

 

Democrats were trying to push through the vote on a “Jan. 6 Commission” today in the House. They succeeded, with 35 Republicans crossing over to vote in favor of it, not seeming to care that it’s going to be a “bash Republicans” effort, rather than any sort of real investigation. There are already multiple investigations going on, so there wasn’t any need for an additional. This is simply an opportunity for Democrats to bash Republicans.

 

How do we know how biased this will be? Because we can already see how slimy Democrats are being about it. 

 

Right before the vote on the Commission, the office of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-RI) tried to spread a letter to members of Congress purportedly from “members of the Capitol Police” on Capitol Police letterhead. The letter claimed that the officers were upset with the position that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had taken against the Commission.

Spoiler alert: It was a democrat lie.

So why won’t Qevin McQarthy meet with this officer?

Now, ask yourself what the purpose of this is.

 

We already have an FBI investigation in conjunction with the DOJ. We have hundreds of arrests that have already been made. There are also multiple investigations going on in Congress at the committee level.

 

 

What more do those who claim to be operating in good faith want to see? 

 

 

There is no shortage of people and organizations looking into the events of January 6th. In fact, the DOJ and the judge handling the cases have gone to extraordinary lengths to punish those arrested, including denying bail over what amounts to trespassing in the majority of cases.

 

 

Of course, we know exactly why Democrats want this commission.

 

 

With the country floundering, including economically and abroad, they need a distraction from Joe Biden’s failures.

 

 

This commission fits that bill because it would allow them to draw this topic out until the 2022 election.

Easy for you to say, the Trump mob wasn't attacking you. You are pathetic

 

 

Here is a decent Republican: 

Quote

In an impassioned speech before the vote, Rep. John Katko (N.Y.), the Republican who had negotiated the bipartisan agreement, called on lawmakers of both parties to set aside politics — and honor Capitol Hill's police force — by supporting the bill. 

"Imagine being a family member of these officers who do this," he said. "So let's take a deep breath and think about what's really important here. These people every single day are willing to lay down their lives for us. They deserve better."

After the vote, Raskin hailed the unnamed officers who had come to his office, he said, to deliver their letter.

"They were traumatized by the events, and they've been extremely upset about the dissension within Congress over doing such an obvious thing as having a commission to get to the bottom of these events," Raskin said.

ROGER SIMON: Democrats, Not Trump Supporters, Are the True Jan. 6 Insurrectionists.

 

 

If you were to stage an insurrection on the Untied States government would you, (a.) simultaneously attack the power grid at multiple points, turning out the lights across the country or (b.) dress up like a horned Star Wars character at a comic book convention and enter the Capitol building, unarmed, as if it were Halloween?

 

You don’t have to be an experienced insurrectionist like the late Muammar Gaddafi (who was armed to the teeth during his, needless to say) to know the answer.

 

If you replied (b.) you are either a moron, a liar or a Democrat—or some combination of the three.

 

What occurred in Washington DC on Jan. 6 of this year was about as far from an insurrection as I am from being a spaceman living on Mars.

 

Were those people stupid? Sure.

 

Were they juvenile? Rather.

 

But were they insurrectionists? You gotta be kidding.

 

And that’s leaving out the obvious details that the only person who got killed in this so-called insurrection was a Trump supporter shot by a Capitol policeman—we still don’t know who—and that videos show other Capitol police waving the demonstrators through, including that “dangerous” Chewbacca guy, into the building as if it were a national holiday and they were rubbernecking tourists from Kansas.

 

In fact, these people were the true patriots, trying, in their clumsy way, to get their country back, or what they thought was their country.

The real insurrectionists are the people accusing them of insurrection. They, the accusers, the ones demanding a “commission” to study this non-existent insurrection, are the ones taking over our country and imposing their will on the people.

 

And they are doing this after an election whose fairness has never been investigated and about which no one can say—other than pronouncing an opinion as fact—who was victorious.

 

They have, as the courts would say, no standing.

Back to the thread.

 

 

 

 

Let’s break this down before we get to what Republicans have to do. The morning of January 7th would have been less than 24 hours after the unrest at the Capitol, correct? I just want to make sure I’m thorough here. Now, what happened after the morning of January 7th?

 

 

Well, we had an impeachment. Last I checked, that’s a pretty big freaking “recrimination.” We also have a DOJ/FBI investigation that has led to the arrest of hundreds of people, many of whom have been denied bail (and will be denied until the fall) for what amounts to trespassing. That sounds like a lot of recriminations to me. Further, the media has not shut up about it for five months. There have been plenty of recriminations on that front. Lastly, even on the question of Congress, House and Senate committees both have ongoing investigations at the committee level, and there will be recriminations processed from them.

 

 

So what exactly is Tim talking about when he insinuates there have been no recriminations? Does he want executions in the streets? Donald Trump to be drawn and quartered with CNN cameras rolling?

 

 

My question is largely rhetorical. We know exactly what Tim wants. He wants this commission so it can dominate headlines for the next year and a half until 2022. It’s that simple, and the attempt to pretend that January 6th is the equivalent of 9/11 is a purposeful political play. We all know it, Tim knows it, and ever hack, left and right, that is insisting this commission is so super-important knows it.

 

 

So what should happen? Republicans should hold the line. There shouldn’t give one inch on this commission. It serves no practical purpose except to give Democrats a bludgeon by which to attack their political enemies, all of which had nothing to do with January 6th. You do not feed the alligator that is promising to eat you.
