Don’t sweat the drama surrounding the 1/6 investigation

Published on 27 Comments on Don’t sweat the drama surrounding the 1/6 investigation

Just a quick observation about the congressional investigation of the 1/6 insurrection: it doesn't matter where it's held or who's on the committee. Regardless of whether it's held in the Senate or the House; or whether it's bipartisan or not; the end result was always going to be separate reports. There would be a majority report from the Democrats and a minority report from the Republicans.

So ignore all the fake drama. In a few months we'll get two reports just like we were always going to get. Fox News will spend 90% of its time on three or four paragraphs from the minority report while the rest of us who don't live in Murdochville will read the majority report and, once again, be shocked at what the Republican Party has become.

      Does that include his inflation denial? In a contest between a "progressive" and Unilever, P&G, and General Mills -- all of whom have announced forthcoming price increases -- I think I will listen to someone(s) who know WTF they are talking about, and laugh at you and Kev. LOL

      Yes, indeed. Nobody is going to care in the slightest whether the report is "bipartisan" or not, and the reports won't make much difference in the end anyway.

          Ignoring the mote in your eye named Kellyanne Conway to cast dubious aspersions on Neoliberal Nancy as a monster's daughter.

            Please please please just ignore this guy. Never respond! Since there's no blocking here, we're stuck with him taking up inches. Responding just adds to it. Ignore him!

    I'm most curious about the reports that some congressional critters were spotted giving "recognizance" tours of the capitol building just prior to 1/6.

    Two reports? The Dem one by Adam Schiff and Co., the GOP one by Liz Cheney? I don't think so.

    If there is a GOP report it is from OUTSIDE the committee.

    The most important thing for the Congressional report -- since it appears no one but the grunts will pay any price -- is to create the most accurate record of what happened and what led up to it and make sure it is available to the public. This should do that even if Dark Lady of the Sith Cheney, Kizinger and Riggleman end up involved.

      Putin and team trump cooked it up in late November, against the wishes of team trump and Vlad fwiw. Vlad's bosses demanded it. Trump has Alzheimer's and it is getting to the point they are struggling to manage it. It's partly why Russia is releasing their own version of data dumps and Vlad wants a clean slate before retiring.

      90% of the so called "capital rioters" were backed by Russia. With the other 10% drifters from the actual protest which was neocon establishment. Here is what got everybody out of whack: general expectations were that Pro-BLM militias were supposed to counter rally. That was the original plan. Bring the protests and counter protests to the capital doors and start fighting.........but a problem happened?? Where were the pro-BLM militias???? They were called off. BLM is a branch of the Trotskyist movement. A con job on socialism, run by global capitalism. Guess who are its main financiers??? Russian Oligarchs. This explains everything. It explains why Oathkeeper members after the riot arrested said they were "done with it". They were done with the con. The Oligarchs called it off, which disorganized the pro-Trump protesters until they started acting independently and recklessly. Which led to a mess.

    Disagree that we should ignore it. A better example of the Beltway Courtiers pushing Republican narratives & using "both sides" to cover for Republican duplicity would be hard to find. Every member of the press/media who is doing it needs to be pilloried, not ignored.

    As for the committee & its work, its final report is not what's important. The testimony it puts on live TV is what is important. And it is critical that the committee not follow the post-Bush/Cheney habit of letting important people testify off the record or behind closed doors. Secretary Clinton testified live & under oath. Any Republican who refuses to do the same should be vilified for cowardice.

      For eleven & a half hours.

      & was more vigorous at the end than the twenty years younger Howdy Doody Gowdy.

      It'll just be another "progressive" circle jerk. Their media will hype it, but only 29% of Americans have any trust in your bullshit media. LOL

    I'm sure Democrats will go to great lengths to ensure Cheney and any other Republicans they appoint will sign on to a single report. But the value of the committee won't be in its report so much as in its public hearings. I'm looking forward to seeing people like Meadows, Stone, Gosar and Giuliani being interrogated under penalty of perjury about who did what in the former guy's inner circus from election day to January 6.
