The investigation IS the cover-up.

Excellent...Old

Jan. 6 report: Pelosi ‘lit that fire’ of Capitol insurrection.

Everyone knows it the media in CYA mode again.

[chopperk]

If Trump lit the fire, Pelosi poured gasoline on it by not accepting the Fed Troops Trump offered. What bunch of Maroons?

[Gay State Conservative]

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how The Botox Queen will respond to any invitation to appear before a House committee next year?

[norwaypinesavage]

This certainly is serious - Trump running around the Capitol lighting fires. I suspect he must have set the pipe bombs, too. It was just that he always wore his COVID mask, so they couldn’t identify him. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that he was the one who abandoned the puppies there, too.

[Bob434]

They keep saying “Insurrection” that word does not mean what they think it means. There was no Insurrection, and Noone has been charged with Insurrection

[EinNYC]

Correct. I watched Trump’s speech live and he never said anything remotely suggesting violence or insurrection. Quite to the contrary, actually. He called for peaceful behavior. So the “findings” of the kangaroo RAT panel are triple distilled bovine fecal matter.

It took six authors to write that crap.

Because they had to pass the one working brain around among themselves to write it.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Any fire was lit by their fraud - not by Trump rudely defying DC norms and pointing it out.

[cicero2k]

Partisan opinion for their media.

[MrRelevant]

People were angry, for the right reason, their votes were erased. Trump simply pointed out the obvious and the not so obvious.

[Salohcin]

That the J6 committee had to resort to “lit the fire” rhetoric shows they had no evidence that Trump had actually planned the occupation of the Capitol.

[nikos1121]

How many authors?

[TangoLimaSierra]

I'm sorry, Trump, but that was a load of crap you spewed out.

So he should have said the cops are crooked and you all should attack them? Is that your take?

[CatOwner]

He shouldn’t have mentioned them specifically at all. As we’ve seen, their system *is* crooked.

[Carry me back]

The Evil govt lit the fire. Not Trump. Cut all fed funding by 90% and send them home.

[Texas Fossil]

Restore the Constitution!⇓Size _DC!

[upchuck]

It took 6 Asinine Press (AP) employees to write this tripe?

[Only1choice____Freedom]

They couldn’t stop laughing

[Yardstick]

Exactly right. “Lit the fire” is a weasel phrase with no substance.
