Twitchy US NEWS MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT CARTOONS Premium Content My Account × Search twitchy.com.... Elon Musk DROPS Cheney, Kinzinger, and Schiff for MISLEADING Americans about J6 and it’s a BEAUTIFUL thing Posted at 9:11 am on March 7, 2023 by Sam J.

Watching the J6 footage (thanks to Tucker Carlson and Kevin McCarthy) it looks more and more like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Adam Schiff, and the rest of the J6 Committee deliberately misled the public to push a pre-approved, politically convenient narrative for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. Ok, so we all knew something was off when they brought in an ABC producer to put together the evidence (not to mention Pelosi handpicked Republicans like Liz and Adam who she KNEW would go along with what she wanted) but seeing the actual footage?

Knowing they saw this same footage and STILL pushed the lies they pushed?

No words … luckily Elon Musk had plenty.

Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed.

That is deeply wrong, legally and morally.

Deeply wrong, legally and morally.

And we’re willing to bet this is just the tip of the J6 iceberg.

They will keep doing it until someone is held accountable Which I doubt will ever happen

People killed themselves over this. Matthew Perna. When do these people/their families get justice?

— Milenka~ (@MilenaAmit) March 7, 2023

Tragic. I can’t even fathom what they’ve all been through. They’ve Lost community standing, family, jobs, banking, put on a terrorist list, money for attorneys and one committed suicide because he couldn’t take it anymore. This isn’t America anymore the way it is now.

— Tiffany (@tiffanylloree) March 7, 2023

This is why almost no one wanted these tapes released.

— Prophetico (@attytjj) March 7, 2023

We imagine there is much more to see …

My parents wouldn't want me to say what I'm really thinking just now.

— Michael Gilson (@Micheal_Gilson) March 7, 2023

Ours either.

Lying to their own people only to maintain power and control.

— Klay Thompson (@Thompsonklay) March 7, 2023

It’s the only way they can maintain power and control, and they knew it.

I’m talking about the Bush Admin. They never said that WMDs were found. In fact, Karl Rove refused to allow that as a talking point in the 2006 Midterms.

Not sure where I suggested whether the war was justified or not - just stating the facts of the time.

Beyond the chemical weapons they liberally used in their war with Iran.

They did...but they weren’t the masses of completely processed chemical weapons of the expected types the Iraqis declared they had, nor even the chemical weapons that were tagged and sampled by international teams in preparation for their destruction.

The question there is...where did THOSE go? The narrative given - where they don’t simply pretend they never existed -was that those known weapons supplies were secretly destroyed by the Iraqis’.

They did find a lot of dual production facilities co-located with warehouses full of precursors, and even militarily secured and fortified facilities full of barrels of ‘insecticide’ (nerve agents). They also found many, many empty barrels which had been tagged and sealed by inspectors as holding Yellowcake, but which the locals were using as (radioactive) rain barrels.

They did, however find that the expected research and production facilities had been relocated to Libya as part of a multi-national project. Libya gave them up when we invaded Iraq, and were cleared in about 6 months.

As for what I believe sauropod is referencing, there was also what fed into a 2014 article accusing the Bush administration of having hidden the finding of buried caches of chemical weapons (so that the local insurgents wouldn’t know the areas they were scattered in):

“about ‘5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs’ were found scattered across Iraqi soil. The U.S. government buried the cases from both the public and the troops. As a result, injured soldiers did not receive proper medical treatment.”

Because accusations of lying come easy when there is a difference of opinion. The conclusive punishment for lying used to be that the lies were found out.

Not just that, but simply to be tied up in court instead of continuing the debate. The process is the punishment.

Of the lines of trucks? Of course they did. It was one of the complaints about Bush taking so long to get authorization (while we also restocked from the Clinton depletions). It was a dominating news story.

Then there is also these. The media acted like Bush made all this stuff up himself, but this is from the Clinton Administration:

This Week - with Sam Donaldson & Cokie Roberts
The Iraq Situation
ABC News, This Week
(Sunday, November 16 1997, 11:30am EST)
Hosts: Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson
• Defense Secretary William Cohen
Cohen appeared on ABC’s “This Week” in 1997 to talk about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. To illustrate the danger, he brought a five-pound bag of sugar.
• “This Week” on ABC, November 16, 1997

Guest: William S. Cohen (U.S. Secretary of Defense)
Cokie Roberts: Welcome, Secretary of Defense William Cohen.
William Cohen: Pleasure to be here.
Cokie Roberts: And joining us, as always, in the questioning, George Will.
Secretary Cohen, we just heard Jack McWethy talk about a window opening for U-2 flights to go over Iraq starting this evening. Will they?
William Cohen: Well, that’s up to the UN, of course. This is a UN flight, not a U.S. flight. It’s a U.S. aircraft but flying under a UN banner.
And so the United Nations’ UNSCOM, the UN special inspection team as such and the special commission, will make that determination.
But that certainly is the time frame in which the U-2 could fly and should fly.
Cokie Roberts: Should fly because with the inspectors out, what could he be doing?
William Cohen: It becomes all the more important now that the inspectors on the ground have been evicted as such to have some oversight capability from the air. The U-2 provides that capability.
For example, I can show a number of slides here to indicate what has taken place following the Persian Gulf War when Iraq was driven out of Kuwait.
The United Nations decided that he must get rid of all of his biological and chemical weapons.
Now we discovered — the United Nations discovered — that he had immense amounts on hand.
We discovered, for example, that this is a facility that was producing — that was, in fact, producing — biological and chemical weapons that had evaded the initial discovery by the inspectors.
Now once that was discovered with the help of overhead capability—
Cokie Roberts: And this was just last year?
William Cohen: This was back in 1996 in which this was destroyed.
So, that facility that went undetected initially has been destroyed.
They have destroyed enormous amounts of chemical and biological weapons.
It’s important when we talk about weapons of mass destruction that we translate into something that the American people, and hopefully, the world community can understand.
For example, when we talk about Anthrax—
Anthrax—
If you took a five-pound bag of sugar and accept—

Call this Anthrax.
This amount of Anthrax could be spread over a city— Let’s say the size of Washington.
It would destroy at least half the population of that city. If you had even more amounts—
Sam Donaldson: Am I correct—
William Cohen: If you had more amounts of Anthrax—
Let me just get to this point—
One of the things we found with Anthrax is that one breath and you are likely to face death within five days. One small particle of Anthrax would produce death within five days.
VX is a nerve agent.
One drop from this particular thimble as such—
One single drop will kill you within a few minutes.
Cokie Roberts: Would you put that bag down please.
William Cohen: Now I want to point out — I will spill it on the table — point out that he has had enormous amounts—
And I’d like to go to some of the lies that have been told about this.
Because originally—
If we could look at this particular chart, the original declaration of Iraq, he said he had small quantities of nerve agent for research.
We found almost four tons of VX — that little vial I just showed you — four tons of it.
He said he had no—
Cokie Roberts: Could wipe out populations of whole countries.
William Cohen: Millions, millions, if it were properly dispersed and through aerosol mechanisms and so forth.
He said he had no offensive biological weapons program.
We found 2,100 gallons of anthrax — that little pound of sugar here that I showed you — had 2,100 gallons of that.
He said he had only 49 combat-ready missiles.
We found at least triple that number.

[…]

Cokie Roberts: Mr. Secretary, given how dangerous you’ve painted this picture, and the fact that having inspectors on the ground is so important, was it wise for the UN to withdraw all those inspectors when the United States inspectors were evicted?
William Cohen: Absolutely.
I probably need not to quote from Martin Niemöller, who pointed out back during the past that in Germany,
“When they first came for the Communists, I wasn’t a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Jews, and I wasn’t Jewish, so I said nothing. And then they came for the trade unions. And then they came for the Catholics. Finally, they came for the Protestants, and there was no one else to say anything.”
First, it will be kick the Americans out. Then he’ll be unsatisfied or dissatisfied with the British. Then he doesn’t like the Australians. Then it will be the Swedes or the Swiss or whatever one of 40 countries might be involved.
He, being a parolee, is not in a position to determine who his probation officers are going to be and what their composition is.
He is on parole.
The probation officer’s determined by the United Nations — not by Saddam Hussein.
Cokie Roberts: We’re going to stop here for just a minute, Mr. Secretary, and take a little break. But then we’ll be back with the secretary of defense.
( – commercial break 1 – )
Sam Donaldson: We’re back, with Defense Secretary William Cohen.
Mr. Secretary, during the Gulf War we prevailed on Israel not to make a unilateral response, and Israel didn’t although Scuds hit Israel.
Saddam Hussein is thought to have, what? 20 Scuds? 50 Scuds?
William Cohen: He has a number of Scuds. The precise number is yet undetermined because he’s been successful in hiding some of them.
Sam Donaldson: Well, I assume the assumption is that if he decides to loose them with the Anthrax, with the other chemical agents you’ve talked about—
William Cohen: We’ve discovered, as a matter of fact, that he did have Anthrax in the warheads of the Scud missiles. UNSCOM inspectors did discover that. So this is not something that just—
Sam Donaldson: You mean in 1991?
William Cohen: After 1991 with the UN inspectors going in, they discovered that he had warheads that did contain Anthrax and was prepared obviously to use them if he thought it necessary to do so.
[…]
William Cohen: Well, first of all, the best way to ensure that terrorism will continue will be to have a policy of appeasement.
I think that the message will be to Baghdad — as it has been in the past — any support of terrorist actions against U.S. citizens will be met with rather overwhelming response.
There have been words like this in the past.
To the extent they’re carried out, there will be a penalty that will have to be paid.
Cokie Roberts: But that question of overwhelming response, which George was getting at—
We keep talking about going in with air power and more air power and maybe more air power.
But at some point, does it require people going in on the ground to really get these weapons? Or alternatively, get Saddam?
William Cohen: I don’t think we have to face that particular option at this point.
I think we’re going to continue to pursue the diplomatic option and see if we can’t exhaust all diplomatic possibilities and then we can face up to what needs to be done.
Sam Donaldson: But how far does this take us? And I mean by that, is there a time limit?
Does Saddam simply thumb his nose at the collective world forever?
William Cohen: There shouldn’t be any artificial time limit or countdown as such.
I think it’s very clear from what I discussed today that days may go by without posing a threat immediately, but weeks or months, and then he’s able to reconstitute his capacity to develop large amounts of chemical and biological weapons.
And I think we have to take that into account.
So there is no artificial deadline, but I think we’re well aware of the ticking of the clock.
[…]
Sam Donaldson: In fact, one Newsweek poll says, that if he shot down one of our U-2s, 82 percent of the public would want to response. But if it drags on, at some point, isn’t the public likely to say, the Clinton administration is a paper tiger?
William Cohen: First of all, we shouldn’t formulate either foreign or defense policy based upon public opinion polls. They tend to shift rather radically from time to time depending upon the circumstances.
I might point out that had we depended upon public opinion polls back in 1991, President Bush might not have had the ability to go in and do what had to be done to evict Iraqis out of Kuwait.
I think it’s important that we have American public support for action, if it becomes necessary.
But we shouldn’t allow the public opinion polls to drive whatever decision the president is going to make.
George Will: Knowing what we know now, was it a mistake to stop when we did in 1991 instead of going to Baghdad?
William Cohen: I think it’s always easier to go back and try to recalculate that.
But remember, under those circumstances, we only had a mandate from the United Nations to evict him. And we only had the solidarity, support to do that. We did that.
I think the president made the right decision under those circumstances.
Sam Donaldson: Secretary Cohen, thank you very much for coming in.
William Cohen: My pleasure.
Sam Donaldson: It’s been most enlightening, and I hope you’ll come back.
And we’ll be back with our weekly roundtable.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE WORKERS AND TRAINEES OF CESSNA
Cessna Campus Building, Wichita, Kansas
November 17, 1997

Ladies and gentlemen, before I make the few remarks I’d like to make on this issue, I think it is appropriate, since it’s my first appearance of the week, to just give you a brief update on the situation in Iraq: Even when I was walking through here a number of people asked me about it.

First, it’s important that you understand what is at stake here. Since the end of the Gulf War, for six years, inspectors, under the authority of the United Nations, have been trying to find and destroy Saddam Hussein’s capacity to threaten his neighbors and potentially others around the world with nuclear or biological or chemical weapons. They have found and destroyed more weapons of mass destruction potential in the last six years — these quiet inspectors who no one knows — they have destroyed more of this potential than was destroyed in the entire Gulf War, with all of the air attacks.

What they are doing matters. It matters to you, to your children and to the future, because this is a challenge we must face not just in Iraq, but throughout the world. We must not allow the 21st century to go forward under a cloud of fear that terrorists, organized criminals, drug traffickers will terrorize people with chemical and biological weapons the way the nuclear threat hung over the heads of the whole world through the last half of this century. That is what is at issue.

In his defiance of international community, Saddam Hussein has forced the withdrawal of the inspectors. Now, I am trying to settle this issue peacefully. But our diplomatic efforts must be backed by our strong military capability. We cannot rule out any options. But the bottom line is, we have to understand this. It is essential that those inspectors go back to work. The safety of the children of the world depends upon it. And I ask for your support.

[…]

Agreed.

The counter though is look at the narratives about Trump’s lies. Recall the Washington Post’s infamous list of lies, which included saying there was no Russian Collusion, protestations of innocence, and many examples of opinions and metaphors? Meuller’s team ginned up support for prosecuting him for even saying he was innocent as obstruction.

The war with Iran was in the 1980s. The turnover of the weapons was in the 90s after the first gulf war (and not at all before that). The finding of the caches was in 2003-2008.

And yes, there were lots of photos, and sampling done by a wide variety of non-US countries.
