Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) made an announcement on Tuesday morning that has many of the Democratic Party faithful concerned about the prospects of the partisan January 6 committee’s proceedings. Watch:
“Congresswoman, I understand there is a bit of a change in the schedule pertaining to tomorrow’s hearing,” Mika Brzezinski said on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’ “Do you know anything about when it will be and what’s going on?”
“I think we’re just firming up,” Lofgren claimed. “There’s no a big deal, but I’ll tell you the putting together the video and exhibits is an exhausting exercise for our very small, you know, video staff.”
“So we’re trying to, you know, we are gonna have 1, 2, 3 in one week and it’s just, it’s too much for [the staff] to put it all together,” she went on. “So we’re trying to give them a little little room to do their their technical work is mainly at.”
The January 6 committee has been caught manipulating video (such as removing Donald Trump telling the January 6 crowd to ‘peacefully’ make their voices heard and avoiding showing Ray Epps in videos).
Even more concerning to anti-Trump contingent hoping for revenge against the former president is the committee chair’s admission that the panel likely won’t be making criminal referrals for Donald Trump or his associates.
“Our job is to look at the facts and circumstances around January 6 — what caused it — and make recommendations after that,” Chair Bennie Thompson told reporters after Monday’s hearing.
When confronted about the committee potentially recommending criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, Thompson replied: “We don’t have authority.”
But this is a much different story than Thompson earlier told the American people.
Thompson said in an NBC News article earlier this year that the evidence already points towards formally requesting the Justice Department launch criminal cases against Donald Trump and his supporters.
“The potential for criminal referrals is there,” he claimed.
In an election year when Americans are craving political leadership to solve serious problems, the Democratic Party is pulling out the stops to put on a made-for-TV show trial against a former president. The disconnect between Washington D.C. and the rest of America could not be more profound.
OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
If you go to a ‘protest’ on our side, video the instigators.
A hot war begins the day an indictment is made against Trump.
I’m torn as to whether this is a 5h!t show or a clown show so I’ll just refer to it as a 5h!tty clown show.
It’s all about a hit and run slime job by a committee of frauds.
Oooo....an engineered cliff-hanger by the hired gun ABC producer to enhance the suspense. They need more time to edit out exculpatory video that just may tank their narrative. Must be exhausting.
Next time, door prizes.
They gotta remove all the videos of their FBI agent best buddy Ray Epps screaming at people to enter the capitol
Everything about American Government and DC politics at the highest levels and the most important issues is based on image and media manipulation
Whether is Ukraine, Jan.6 committee, or Energy - its all like a Hollywood propaganda film
Putting videos together........a big deasl in this day and age...BS
Honestly, I think that is the internal debate in the tightest circles of the Donk party, which no one dares breathe a word of in public. If they indict Trump they risk some truly unknowable consequences, yet they also know that if they don’t prevent him from running in 2024 he will likely win the nomination, and that leads to a nightmare scenario they don’t want to face (especially in the absence of a crisis like covid).
The encouraging aspect is, Joe Biden is not the only one who has an unerring abilty to eff things up. Just look at their “accomplishements” to date, given they control the legislative and executive branches of the federal govt. If we were them, we’d be pissed just like AOC is...
Viwership rates ae very low, and whats more the Kangaroo Kommittee is being ridicullled at every turn........they are not Prime Time standard.
People know that the mahority of the panel members have tried to falsely impeach President Trump twice with fabrications. They lost.
And they will loose this time, even the DOJ said they would not prosecute President Trump on the basis of these lies.
IOW, they are FAKE!.....................
People struggling with gas prices and inflation and the crashing of their retirement accounts aren't too pleased that our lawmakers are focused on a former President for solely political gain.
They were hoping for Watergate Hearings level of viewers. They got Gilligan’s Island re-runs level.............
I spent years putting away money for retirement at 70, I’m 67 now, and now they destroy it in less than a year......................
All these show trials, appears to be a rogue banana republic. When are the purges and pogroms going to start?
Oh yeah the pandemic....
401k down 20%, which means I need 25% to get back to even. If the markets average 8% a year, that’s 3 years he has stolen from my retirement. FJB
Or the Depp/Heard level. This came right on the heels of their trial.
Probably can’t figure out how to edit out all the marked blue and white FBI megaphone’s intermingled throughout the mixed leftist/fed crowd, with leftist fed boyz wearing fake triple X Trump T’s over their FBI and BLM/Sunrise jackets —
As an old video editor, it really is not an easy task, when there is large scale proliferation.
