So today is the day. Criminal referrals for Trump.  It sounds like there will be at least 3: obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government and inciting or assisting an insurrection.

So with the Oathkeeper leadership found guilty of sedition the Proud Boys go on trial soon.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/1776-motherf-ker-proud-boys-144528097.html

So groups Trump tacitly approved of may both be convicted of sedition.

Remember to stand back and stand by. Not denounce, since he knows who his troops are.

Most of the Jan 6 rioters were useful idiots there as cannon fodder. The real people trying to bring down the Government were the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys. Both groups Trump has not denounced given multiple times to do so.

So Cassidy Hutchison was told to mislead the Jan 6 committee by her Trump aligned lawyer. And she did so the first time around.

More on Hutchison's testimony and what she want through.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/cassidy-hutchinson-secretly-back-channeled-160705906.html

A telling comment to me.

The witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as a top aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified to the committee that her Trump-aligned lawyer repeatedly urged her to "downplay" her role in the Trump White House and told her"we just want to focus on protecting the president."

The New Congress will go after The real cause of the J6 disturbance. The Unselect Committee is now a cautionary tale.

House GOP Find Damning Texts And Email Evidence Implicating Nancy Pelosi (https://republicbrief.com/huge-house-gop-find-damning-texts-and-email-evidence-implicating-nancy-pelosi/)

Pull Quotes: "Gateway Pundit reports that now, there are discovered communications that prove there was a plan afoot to intentionally limit security in the event security was needed on Jan 6.

…House GOP members found texts and emails from Pelosi staffers proving they forcefully decreased J6 security measures despite objections from Capitol Police and Sergeants at Arms.
Rogan O’Handley posted a text message from Nancy Pelosi’s staff secretly editing the J6 security plan for the US Capitol and then telling the House Sergeant at Arms to “please act surprised” when the final draft was published

…Pelosi staff had regular meetings setting up J6 security, helped revise plans, and turned down requests from USCP and House Sgt. at Arms for more funding and Nat’l Guard troops. IT WAS A SETUP!!"

We know Trump offered security help before J6 and Pelosi refused him. Only one reason for that.

Ashli Babbitt was shot in cold blood by Lt. Mike Byrd inside the Capitol without warning. There were three other deaths of Trump supporters by Pelosi minions. Interesting to see what the new House majority reveals. Will Pelosi be indicted?

"Gateway Pundit reports that now, there are discovered communications that prove there was a plan afoot to intentionally limit security in the event security was needed on Jan 6.

It wouldn't be the first accusation of such a plan. FDR was accused of doing something similar to increase the odds that in the event of an attack on Pearl Harbor it would do significant damage so as to foment commensurate public outrage. He kept the top officers there in the dark about the true state of affairs and ensured they'd be caught unprepared with their drawers and guard down. Just like the December 7th attack could only succeed if our defenses were dampened the same is apparently true of the January 6th attack. It's not a false flag but more like a red cape attack, the way a matador coaxes and tempts a raging bull to its doom. If the riot is nipped in the bud, that just won't do.

I won't go so far as to give Pelosi that much credit as a truly Machiavellian schemer, but it is an interesting theory nonetheless.   

On a related note, whatever the case with the massive voter fraud, the stealing of the election by the White House and FBI collusion with social media companies to prevent the truth from reaching the American people deserved massive peaceful protests as much as or even more than if it was stolen by voter fraud. The foundations of our democratic republic were indeed undermined by foul play and with Musk's heroic Twitter revelations the evidence is in, the facts are undisputed, and the verdict is guilty.

Assuming that there is any truth to the allegations that "Pelosi reduced security" I'm going to bet that they come down to:

[security] Our dept wants more money
[Pelosi] Why?
[security] (thinking quickly) Some idiots might want to stage an armed insurrection!
[Pelosi] Come off it. You got anything to back that up?
[security] ... The internet is full of nutters?
[Pelosi] Come on...
[security] But Trump??
[Pelosi] Even he's not that daft. Have you seen the budget? Denied.

In hindsight Pelosi was of course wrong.

You said the same thing over a year ago, before any of the "evidence" you just cited -- which, again, boils down to no evidence at all -- had been presented.

Perhaps you're not actually basing this particular opinion on evidence, but rather on what your gut tells you about things?

Except when it is his guy who is being questioned. By Wm's process Trump should have been shot as a traitor by now.

Very hard to watch.
Many of those trapped expressed thier sadness that it has affected thier family relationships. That there family can't/wont believe the things they believe hurts them... In their certainty of being right it didn't appear to occur to them that thier family members might feel the same way. That when a argument hinges on a lack of proof as being proof of what you know with certainty, and or the certainty that a sliver a truth out weighs 9 facts is proof that thier is no room for dialog. The only people you can talk to are those that think the same things as you.

It is something you need to be very mindful of when you start "going down the rabbit hole" on various conspiracy theories.

I absolutely love a good conspiracy theory when I encounter it. But I also try to remain very mindful that it is just that, a theory.  But the reality is, most "conspiracy theories" that are out there are complete trash.

Generally speaking there seem to be two main types of the trashy theories to be found.

The ones the exist entirely as a macro-level theory that fails utterly at demonstrating anything at the micro-level. (9-11 truthers)
Then the ones that exist entirely on the micro-level that desperately try to ignore everything else. (Obama birth certificate) Although for the micro-level ones, the favored tactic is to just bombard you with a bunch of random and very tenuously connected things to try to sell you a bill of goods. Much like a fast talking salesman using a wide array of buzzwords and jargon to baffle/bludgeon the customer into agreeing to a buy.

Hollywood's tendency to "sell" novel conspiracy theories of their own in order to generate "dramatic content" for viewers also doesn't help. NCIS(the series, not the agency it is named after),The Blacklist, and even the X-Files as well as Fringe, among others, are probably major contributors to facilitating many of these people to get lost down those proverbial rabbit holes as well. The less said about what often passes for content on Discovery and The History Channel these days, the better as well.

So McCarthy has given 41,000 hours of video from Jan 6 to no other than that paragon of truth, Tucker Carlson. A man whose own company has said no one expects the truth from him. I expect Tucker to show hundreds of hours of empty corridors saying "See nothing happened. It was peaceful."

I'm sure it will be fair and balanced coverage of all the parts that don't include violence or defecating in the halls of congress. So empty hallways, the parts of the protest after the lawmakers were all locked away with people milling about, or any video that he can use to make fun of a liberal.

Now that Carlson Tucker has shown that there was no riot on January 6, he's moved on to other projects.

The Daily Show shows Tucker proving that JFK was not assassinated.

He's released news footage proving that Nazi Germany did not invade Paris, but were merely visiting.

And soon he will prove that the dinosaurs were not killed by a passing asteroid.

Just think of everything we wouldn't know if it weren't for Tucker! :D

Did anyone in this forum actually look at the footage? There were many iPhone videos released but uncommented upon by Pelosi's Committee. Those of us who saw the videos realized the Committee was picking and editing clips to mislead the public. There were videos of Pelosi's security escorting innocuous protesters into the building. The "Shaman" got a royal accompaniment throughout the whole visit. Study the Doctrine of Laches to understand how important that was. Two contemporaneous actions facilitate each other. Pelosi rejected Trumps request to send troops to help the under-strength Capitol security - and the security that was there encouraged access to the building, but some must not have been read-in to the Democrat master plan and tried to block access. Their actions were shown in the Committee, but the other part that would have disallowed the Committee to proclaim insurrection was edited severely to look worse than it was. Did you see the murder of Ashli Babbitt from the Committee? In fact, they hid the revelation of the officer who shot her.

Allowing the full panoply of videos to be seen is a good thing - and totally proves how the Pelosi Committee was biased and blocking the truth.

So let me just sum up: at some points, members of the mob were peacefully followed or "escorted" by security. At other points, they were warned not to progress beyond certain points or continue damaging the building under threat of violence, and in some cases did in fact disregard those warnings and were met with violence. And your argument here is that because they were not all uniformly and consistently met and confronted with deadly force at every point, at no point could any of the members of the mob pose a threat that needed to be met with deadly force?

I'm particularly struggling to understand how the Doctrine of Laches is relevant here; the interpretation above is the closest I can get to it.

(Also, I hate to keep mentioning this, but you've frequently referenced "Trump's request to send troops to bolster capitol security" and we have pointed out several times how that's a complete fiction. I'm going to have to point out again that there was no such thing.)

Just curious if you've taken the time to read about Tucker's text messages around that time. The ones where he was saying he hates Trump, Trump was a disaster, Trump has no up side, the people he was putting on air were insane liars.

So why would you trust his edited version of events?

Quote
McConnell responded by saying, "My concern is how it was depicted, which is a different issue."

"Clearly the chief of the Capitol Police, in my view, correctly describes what most of us witnessed firsthand on January 6. So that's my reaction to it," he said.

No we did not look at the footage, since McCarthy has only released the video to Tucker Carlson, who is not a journalist. Even Fox says he is not a journalist. Why would McCarthy do that? What is he trying to hide? If you are goingt to release the tapes, why not to everyone? All of the news services? Why an entertainer, who has been proven a liar?

Why would you take Tucker's word for anything?  His own texts about Trump and Jan 6 show what a liar he is. The man has no integrity, much less journalist integrity.

"Did anyone in this forum actually look at the footage?"

I saw enough of it to confirm what I already knew, that we have been lied to and purposefully deceived with malice aforethought from the beginning.

Sadly, it's dangerous to talk about all this because the Democrats are taking political prisoners like totalitarians.

Hypocrisy is always fun to watch in action though. They talk about how the prisons are too full and lowering sentences for carjackers and other violent offenders and bailing out the BLM rioters and dismissing all of their charges but they turn around and overcharge these people to the maximum.

On the one hand the Democrats blame Trump for inciting them but another way to look at that is they had a Presidential invitation and he was still the President at that time. All of the ones who attacked the police and were violent should be charged with attacking the police and charged with their violent acts just like any other protestor but all this talk about sedition and overthrowing the government is as delusionally fabricated as the Russian collusion hoax. A total scam by Democrats playing politics with lies, deceiving the American people and perpetrating another fraud.

Trump should have pardoned everyone who wasn't violent since he was the one who invited them. In that regard, he is a big disappointment. He also should have issued pardons for the supposed "crime" of sedition and just left open for prosecution assault and battery charges against protestors who physically attacked police and some misdemeanor trespassing charges. That's still more than the BLM rioters ever faced and if Democrats weren't such flaming hypocrites on crime and punishment we wouldn't be seeing these kangaroo courts with jester judges meting out retaliation to their political enemies like the corrupt authoritarians they are. They encourage protests but only if it's against their enemies. All other protest will be prosecuted and we see that too with abortion protests and the dad, Mark Houck, who had a SWAT style FBI raid conducted on his house for the crime of lawfully protesting abortion. Everyone opposed to Democrats has been branded by this corrupt administration as an Enemy of the State and any excuse will be trumped up to deal with them accordingly.

They are just getting started.

Hopefully, they will be stopped.

The first step is calling them out.

It all depends on how powerful they are. They don't have enough power yet to do everything they would do if they did and public opinion is key which is why Tucker Carlson is such a hero patriot, getting the truth out there at great personal risk to his career.

Whatever the context, that video evidence should have been released at the beginning for voters to make up their own minds about what it means. It certainly should have been released to the defense lawyers. I don't see how the Democrats concealing it all this time isn't a crime.

Don't tell me what I need to see and what I don't. I'll see it ALL and then I'll decide what is relevant and what isn't. This is the court of public opinion and the public deserves all of the information available including all of the video.

I'm very curious to hear examples of why you might believe this to be true.

That's still more than the BLM rioters ever faced...
Are you under the impression that no individual rioters faced charges for individual acts of violence? I ask because I personally know at least a dozen people who were arrested, and four who were charged.

It certainly should have been released to the defense lawyers.
According to three articles I've read, all but precisely ten seconds of what Carlson showed -- ten seconds of security footage literally showing crowds walking down a hallway, focused on the floor, with no discernable speech in the background -- actually was made available to defense lawyers. (The reason it was not provided, according to one source, is that it shows two Congresspeople in the background fleeing down an unpublished escape route.) There has been quite a lot of pushback, including from some of the defense lawyers involved, rejecting the assertion that it was withheld.

They don't report on those people on Fox. Only the "peaceful patriots" who assaulted the capital police and invaded the halls to hang the vice president and speaker of the house to try to keep Donald Trump president for life.

I saw enough of it to confirm what I already knew,
14000 hours of footage and I'm sure you will wind what you already new you would find and overlook what you didn't want to know, you knew.
Begs the question of if its possible to become conscious of what you are not conscious of.
