WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee’s final report asserts that Donald Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol, concluding an extraordinary 18-month investigation into the former president and the violent insurrection two years ago.
Trump “lit that fire,” the committee’s chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, writes.

Donal J. Trump did no such thing. This is phony. I WAS THERE and saw it vastly different. What are these people smoking?

Of course the truth is the diametrical opposite - the real insurrection was hatched by the Statists, to include these clowns, in 2016. This report is intended to be its final act.
But things are never going back to where they were.

Trump OFFERED to supply as many NG Troops as the Rats desired but was nastily turned down.

Yeah, Trump lit that fire. The obvious, overwhelming evidence of massive vote fraud didn’t motivate anyone, right?

No one believes our media any more.
Nope, even the clueless libs know gaslighting when they see/read it.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
No. A STOLEN ELECTION lit the fire.

"Please support our Capitol POlice and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country." I'm sorry, Trump, but that was a load of crap you spewed out.

So Trump had 250k people in Washington, tried to get them to over run the capitol and got a few hundred people to enter the capitol and no one to draw a weapon. Sounds likely

The investigation IS the cover-up.

It probably took one to write it, and five others to find reasons to take offense.

All of Congress is a flaming bag of dog poop on EACH of our doorsteps.

It wasn’t an insurrection.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Nobody “attacked” the Capitol - it was an angry but non-violent protest of a stolen election.
Stolen elections SHOULD be overturned, and there’s nothing wrong with saying that - and nothing wrong with being angry when you say it.
If the Democrats and RINOs have a problem with angry patriots and massive protests - they need to stop stealing elections.
