Trump Called a Jan. 6th Committe Witness - Referred to DOJ

[Andy1]

You all can deny facts for the rest of your lives but when the history books will be written about J6, they will be base upon the results uncovered by this committee. Your grandchildren will be reading about that day from the evidence and testimony submitted by the committee. If you don’t like it, maybe Trump will write another book he can sell to the believers of alternate history.

A lot of idiots have said, "well we don't know if there were no weapons because they didn't search everybody",  Amazing logic and great legal minds concluding that search and seizure without probable cause and guilty before proven innocent are cornerstone principles of the legal system.

 

The facts are many got more than they deserved.  Political prisoners.  Solitary confinement 23/7 in maximum security, some denied medical care, chronic mistreatment, held without bail for 18 months on misdemeanor trespass charges.  Not just cruel and unusual punishment.  Because punishment comes after charges, trial, and conviction.  Clearly violations of 8th Amendment.  But who cares, right?  Certainly nobody cheering on this Kangaroo Court clown show.

 

What's ironic about people supporting this goose-stepping fascist behavior and abuse of power is they're all too dumb to figure out that there's nothing stopping these thugs from coming for them and they might be next when the enforcers get different marching orders.     

 

The irony is that that's what we've been saying about voter fraud, i.e. "how do we know there was no cheating if we don't check voter ID?"  The difference here is that no one used a weapon outside, much less inside, the Capitol.

History will associate this committee and its reality TV show atmosphere with the McCarthy hearings of the 1950's.

👆What’s the word you like to often use @Doc?

 

FEELZ???

 

That pretty much sums up your POV above cause the FACTS are not on your side - as usual.

 

Evidence of firearms in Jan. 6 crowd grows as arrests and trials mount

 

Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Used: stun guns, pepper spray, knives, baseball bats, flagpoles wielded as clubs and pipe bombs too.

 

Here’s Every Weapon The Capitol Rioters Are Accused Of Having On Jan. 6

So many FEELLLZZZ @Doc - so little time.

You have an inclination toward hyperbole, I'll say that.  Still, you've really said nothing at all here of  substance beyond the indication you know exactly how future...uh...history books will be written.  In that regard, you would be excellent on a political committee of this nature.  Now, since you know, don't keep us in the dark:

 

What criminal charges will be filed against Trump tying him directly to rioters, and/or criminal organizations on 1/6?

What will the outcome of his trial(s) look like?  

Will he serve jail time, and if so, for how long?

 

For what it's worth, if I'm blessed with grandchildren one day, I would simply advise them that the following, common sense guideline to understanding the political element of the US goes like this:

 

• Consider the agenda of the person/people asking you to believe in them;
• Consider your own agenda, what's in your best interest, and start out with a heavy dose of cynicism;
• Remember there are typically three sides to every story, and the truth can be the hardest side to find;
• Consider the history of those telling their story, and their relative trustworthiness and credibility;
• Remember that throughout history, many people have believed many things that turned out to be completely false or grossly misrepresented;
• Finally, my favorite:
  • Everyone with more than a passing interest in politics knows that blind and absolute faith in what politicians say or do is a recipe for disaster.  The number of times officials in government have lied to the people is impossible to know, but it's substantial.  However, when a new shiny penny catches the eye of the general public, many people forget what they always knew, rush in foolishly, certain that 'their guy' is beyond reproach, and end up looking foolish.  Don't be foolish.

I feel like that was covered when Mueller lied and people cried.

That's what you pulled out of the post?  Delightful. 

 

Dude, I had to find a word that rhymed with 'cried'.

Focusing on petty details is a lot easier response than inviting massive cognitive dissonance that would be produced by the likelihood that Trump will never be charged, never be tried, and never be convicted of anything related to the 1/6 political theatrics.

The "witness" should have talked to Trump and recorded it.  Right now they have nothing but supposition.

I don't think I would do that if I were in their shoes unless my lawyer was with me and approved.

"We need to wait until the investigation is done and all the testimony is released on the 12th of never...I mean September"

 

 

Unless there is bombshell testimony that supports my pre conceived conclusion that Trump is guilty.  In that case we must listen and believe it NOW!

Trump is guilty - why else did all of this BS happen? Who was to benefit?

Of course he is….but then again you were saying that for FOUR YEARS leading up to January 6th. So there’s that.

DeSantis is more popular than Trump. He became more popular by being a smarter, more palatable Trump.  He didn't bother asking for Trump's endorsement. If he and Mitch McConnell decide to play ball with the Democrats, Trump is toast.  If for no other reason than it gives GOP elites a way to put Trump out to pasture without losing Trump's voters.  Which is the ideal outcome for them.

You’re right. The mistake that Nancy is making is thinking that the allegiance is to Trump, the man. It isn’t! It is to the idea of a Trump figure who’ll speak truth to power. The best analogy I can come up with is that Trump was John the Baptist. He is not the savior.

Ok.

 

What does any of the above have to do with the umpteenth we've got Trump this time media/left circle jerk?

Sometimes the news is just the news, not a media/left circle jerk.

What you’re suggesting is a conspiracy of sorts between the leadership of both major political parties to potentially disembowel the collective will of the average R voter.   Are you suggesting this is what happens in Washington?  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jk, of course this sort of thing happens in Warshington!   The establishment R had no use for Trump until he won.  I believe they would have preferred Hillary win.  
 

It’s yet another reason that people generally do not trust politicians.
