Dear Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans:
Happy New Year! Hope you are ready and rested for the big political fights ahead in 2022. Republicans across the country are counting on you to stand tough against the Biden regime and your Democratic counterparts in advance of a potentially power-shifting election this November.
Just kidding.
Alas, informed Republicans know that even with all the uncertainties in the world, we can be certain that the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will always disappoint us. Even when you controlled this important committee for four years under a Republican president, you failed to fulfill one empty promise after another.
Remember all the promises to “get to the bottom” of Russiagate, the biggest political scandal and abuse of government power in history? (Well, until January 6.)
Remember how you let Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Democratic activists hijack the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, which led to a humiliating and divisive showdown between the Supreme Court nominee and his half-baked accuser?
Oh, and remember that lengthy investigative report you issued a few months later that accused people of lying to Congress and referred them to the Justice Department (which you purportedly oversee) on criminal charges but nothing ever happened?
Good times.
During the first year of the Biden Administration, you made nary a peep as Biden filled his cabinet with Obama loyalists and left-wing radicals. My favorite moment was when every member of the committee voted to advance the nomination of Lisa Monaco—Barack Obama’s hyperpartisan homeland security advisor, Russiagate architect, and former chief of staff to FBI Director Robert Mueller—to serve as deputy attorney general. She is what Andrew Weissmann was to Mueller when he was special counsel; the vengeful, Republican-hating prosecutor calling the shots behind the grandfatherly veneer of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

1) Why does the Justice Department consider 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured on January 6 by taxpayer-funded security cameras as “highly sensitive” government material? Why are even 30-second clips used in court proceedings under protective orders with strict rules about how defendants and their attorneys can view the evidence against them?
2) What is the status of the FBI’s lengthy investigation into the alleged “pipe bomber” and why, despite using every intrusive tool, including geofence warrants, to collect information on Capitol protesters, has the FBI not yet identified a suspect?
3) Is Ray Epps an FBI asset? If not, why has he not been charged despite clearly engaging in the same behavior that resulted in felony criminal charges against other January 6 participants?
4) Did the FBI run informants into alleged militia groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers before January 6? Can you confirm the New York Times reporting from September that disclosed at least two FBI informants were with the Proud Boys when they breached the first exterior barrier right before 1 p.m. on January 6?
5) Why is Stewart Rhodes—the founder of the Oath Keepers and “person one” in every indictment for the 20-defendant conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers—still not charged with any crime even though he clearly organized the alleged conspiracy and was on Capitol grounds on January 6?
6) Explain why the Justice Department, notwithstanding testimony to the contrary, had elite FBI forces stationed at Quantico the weekend before January 6. Hundreds of FBI agents were deployed to the area around the Capitol that morning and some entered the building with the first set of protesters who breached the actual building. Is this not a contradiction of what Justice Department and FBI officials previously testified under oath?
7) How many pre-trial detention orders has the Justice Department sought against January 6 defendants? How many remain behind bars right now? How many face nonviolent charges and have no criminal record? How can the Justice Department continue to ask for delays in trial dates for detained defendants—is this not a clear violation of the Sixth Amendment?
8) How many detainees have been held in solitary confinement conditions in the D.C. jail specifically used to house January 6 defendants?
9) Does any police officer face possible charges for excessive unlawful force, including the two D.C. Metro police officers who beat, punched, and maced Victoria White inside the lower west terrace tunnel on January 6?
10) Is there a formal investigation into the death of Rosanne Boyland outside that tunnel on January 6? Video and eyewitness accounts suggest she did not die of an accidental drug overdose but actually may have been the victim of police misconduct.
11) How many raids has the FBI conducted to arrest January 6 defendants and does this include Americans only charged with misdemeanors?
12) How much taxpayer money has the Department of Justice spent so far in what Merrick Garland called the agency’s largest investigation in history?
You get the drift. I hope.
If Republicans take control of the House and/or the Senate, what are the odds that even one of these questions gets asked?
Wouldn’t have this problem if WE THE PEOPLE got off our asses in the many states and elected R’s who would do our bidding. We get the Reps we vote for, the scumbag assistant democrat wing of the R party is the result of R’s electing them.
Provided that you set the threshold at one, and mean asked formally in the setting of a Congressional hearing, my gut says that Sean Connery’s assessment of the situation in the Hunt for Red October seems about right: one in three.
If there are more optimistic numbers that have foundations, I’d be interested in seeing the foundations.
13) Has the FBI looked into what involvement the members of the reported three bus loads of ANTIFA/BLM escorted by DC police on January 5, who were texting that all should wear Trump gear, had in the January 6 Capitol incursion? 14) Have any of the identified ANTIFA/BLM supporters who entered the Capotol on January 6 been prosecuted?
Reagan said that the reason why there aren’t many of our people in Washington is once they get to Washington they cease to be our people.
A variation on the old axiom power corrupts.
I got a question for them. When did you sell your souls to the Devil?
Yep, and that makes my point. We the people need to elect the right people to reprsent us, we need to pay more attention to the kind of person they are, also we need to stip reelecting the same scum that disappoint us year after year. Most, not all of course, but most of the scumbag R’s whom are assistant dems are long serving members of Congress who’ve been elected over and over and over.
Good and necessary questions. The gist and substance of 1/6 is that paid agitators under the employ of federal offices used the rightful anger of those who saw massive vote fraud on 11/3 as a pretext to paint them as “domestic terrorists.” If Pelosi and company did not coordinate the effort, they certainly were more than willing to stand back and invite the show. Her protestations are merely for show, and her actions clearly fly in the face of democracy (one man, one vote) as the fiundational means whereby self-government is established and maintained. Pelosi is representative of the left and all its malignant adherents.
13. Who gave the order to the police and security forces to LET the people in freely, and in some cases accompany them into the senate chambers?
14. Who were the “dressed like Navy Seals” seen in various videos, entering the premises early on?
15. Who were the first to enter and scale the walls, when the Trump was still going on?
16. Who is the guy in the tower with megaphone urging people to enter the building.
As a practical means to “get off our asses” when it comes to elections I would like to offer two necessary processes:
1.) Demand that every city, county, and state election agency maintain and push out a list of every candidate who runs for public office immediately upon their admission to the ballot. The list must contain complete, direct contact information for the candidate. Once the voter has this information, it is incumbent upon him to ask questions of each candidate that touch upon their fundamental outlook on government. In fact, it would be better to demand answers as a condition for appearing on the ballot. Not on policy questions, but questions that will lay bare how they think of their office and its impact on American life and culture. Publish their answers, or lack thereof in a nationwide resource available to anyone who cares to investigate a candidate’s outlook and intentions. Of utmost importance is to ask questions that reveal the level of their fidelity to the Constitution and do not accept platitudes.
2.) Every state should look at their constitution and see to it that voting orivileges are not administered until a voter can demonstrate familiarity with basic civics as practiced in their respective state. This is not a literacy test any more than a driving test is. Nor does it require revelation of partisan leanings. It is simply a matter of competency where it matters most, namely in maintaining civil order as we secure basic rights for ourselves and our posterity.
17. We the officers who committed suicide getting ready to tell the truth?
huh?
I’m sympathetic but 2) it’s still at literary test under another guise.
Asymptotic to zero.
You have to ask yourself why so many Police officers committed suicide immediately after the 6th. Why? All during the summer BLM riots there wasn’t a rash of suicides. Perhaps it wasn’t suicide. Epstein didn’t kill himself and maybe all those cops didn’t either. Either that or they felt such guilt at their actions they couldn’t live with themselves.
Why has nobody asked?
Pelosi has been in DC a loooooooooong time. I find it very hard to believe she left her office unlocked while no one was there on the 6th.
She is a liar.
Too many things that are claimed about that day are not believable.
Bkmk
“Too many things that are claimed about that day are not believable.”
That’s because it was a “Wag the Dog” operation, life imitating art.
Why, our entire "democracy" was threatened on Jan. 6th.
