To: Political Junkie Too
That's a good point.

The riot only helped the Democrats. Congress clarifying the role of a VP during the electoral vote count later in 2021 is an admission the role had latitude which means Trump was justified and arguing that point. Then there's Pence comments about "voting irregularities" and "I promise you, come this Wednesday, we will have our day in Congress! We'll hear the objections. We'll hear the evidence.”

And yet Pence punted, the challenges didn't get a fair hearing, there was no commission empaneled to review the arguments, nothing was sent back to the challenged states. The riot provided cover for Pence, Joe & company while the Democrats got their PR victory.

Trump would only get his chance if J6 had stayed orderly.

they couldnt depend on the crowd getting unruly

the capitol was evacuated because of the pipe bombs

the hearing was reconvened under emergency rules

which did not allow for any objections

the fix was in no matter what the crowd did

I knew when Trump had the rally day of Congress meeting, that the Dems would use it against Trump. Thus the reason the NG was refused as requested by Capital Police chief by Pelosi and others who are responsible for safe guarding the Capital. It was a total set up. I knew Anitfa, CIA plants would be in the crowd stirring them up. I knew it wouldn’t be peaceful. So many lives ruined on J6.
