Clyburn: We Are ‘Trying’ to Punish Trump for His Crimes with 1/6 Commission
Breitbart ^ | 18 Jun 2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/18/2021 12:53:49 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Democrats were “trying” to punish former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes with a commission to investigate the Capitol riot.

Co-host Joy Behar said, “Congressman, we’re just beginning to find out how Trump may have tried to undermine our democracy as president. There are allegations that his Justice Department subpoenaed phone records of House Democrats investigating his potential ties with Russia. Then emails were released showing how he pressured the Justice Department to challenge the 2020 election results based on his voter fraud lies which one DOJ official called pure insanity. Where’s the accountability here, sir? Shouldn’t he face consequences? I mean, is anything ever going to happen to this guy to punish him for his misdeeds and crimes?”

Clyburn said, “I certainly hope so. That’s what we’re trying to do with this committee. Over the last several days with Nancy Pelosi, our speaker, is pursuing various ways of dealing with the 6th of January. Not just what happened on that day, but what led up to it. I think she’s going to appoint a committee that would get to the bottom of this and let things go wherever they may go. I think they’ll go straight to the source because I believe that the 45th president of the United States made some gross errors in judgment, if not committed very criminal events.”

How about we first hold clyburn accountable for the promotion of blm, antifa and all other communist/marxist attempts to overthrow this country using domestic terrorist cells. Then we also hold him accountable for election fraud and treason!

Clyburn is admitting he is a fraud, and is willing to abuse his power, potentially committing federal offenses to exact political retribution on President Trump. The man has never been considered the sharpest knife in the drawer, but here he proves to be either a fool, or a criminal. Not much else good to say about the man.

There is no limit to the damage a willful lying media is able to inflict upon a society (see Hitler/Nazi).

To the full extent of the penalties provided by the laws of the Republic.

We should be ashamed.

We should be ashamed that detestable, despicable, depraved, degenerate, degraded, debased dimwits like this are allowed to spew evil out over America.

What a steaming pile of kaka by Clyburn. They already have their conclusions and are now going to develop fake evidence as well as continue the myth that it was an insurrection. If it had been an insurrection, the government and the country would be very different today rather than the emerging Marxist dictatorship. They also continue to ignore the vast destruction of American cities by Antifa and BLM who are the Democrat brown shirt army and enforcers of right thinking.

Republicans and Conservative Pundits Walking into a Trap Demanding Congressional Investigation of FBI Involvement on Jan 6th DC Event

June 17, 2021 | Sundance 

Last night CTH highlighted the flaw in the Tucker Carlson (Fox News) and Darren Beattie (Revolver News) advocacy for a Senate investigation into the FBI involvement with the January 6th DC protest/insurrection {Go Deep}.  Bottom Line: legislative oversight has consistently been participating in the corruption carried out by intelligence agencies and FBI.

Tonight I want to warn everyone of the trap that exists if this advocacy for a legislative approach continues.  Republicans are right now walking into a trap.  Read this next line carefully:  

The January 6th Commission is to MAGA voters what the Mueller investigation was to President Trump.

The Senate vote to support Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Commission only failed by five votes. The final cloture vote was 54-35.  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Rob Portman of Ohio all supported the commission. Pat Toomey (PA) would have supported, but he was absent for the vote.  Senators Blackburn (R-TN), Blunt (R-MO), Braun (R-IN), Burr (R-NC), Inhofe (R-OK), Murray (D-WA), Risch (R-ID), Rounds (R-SD), Shelby (R-AL), Sinema (D-AZ) and Toomey (R-PA) did not vote.

If republicans keep demanding a senate investigation into the FBI involvement on January 6th events, it will only take a few moves before Schumer and Pelosi twist that demand to say “then why didn’t you support the January 6th commission?”… and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would love nothing more than to bring that vote to approve the commission back to the floor.  I would even suggest that due to new demands by republicans in media, Mitch McConnell would support it.

Let me be clear, that January 6th Commission will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff.  The purpose of that commission would carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition.    The difference this time would be that President Trump would not be the intended sole target; the Pelosi January 6th commission would be targeting Trump voters.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel.

Again, the legislative branch was/is working with the executive branch on the common objectives of a corrupt intelligence apparatus, that includes the FBI {examples here}. So the legislative branch is not going to investigate intelligence community or FBI corruption.  The HPSCI and SSCI are participants in the corruption, they will not investigate themselves regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans control the chambers.  This is not a partisan issue.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was not only involved in the intelligence targeting of President Trump through surveillance and counterintelligence operations; the SSCI was actively participating in that targeting and doing everything they could to assist the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence community (IC) on that goal.

Anyone who is advocating for the legislative branch to be the solution to intense internal corruption within the DOJ, FBI or Intelligence Community is only setting themselves up for a total failure.  However, beyond failure it will backfire.

The MAGA voters (the republican base) will be targeted, ridiculed and marginalized in the run up to the 2022 election.  They will be made to look like domestic terrorists, “Domestic Violent Extremists”, and much worse as defined by collusion between a corrupt FBI and a corrupt U.S. corporate media.  That is the entire purpose of the commission that passed the House and was narrowly defeated in the Senate.

Do not be naive to think the GOP want the FBI involvement in the January 6 events to be exposed any more than the Republican wing of the UniParty wanted to see the IRS targeting of conservative groups exposed.  The vast majority of DC republicans want to see the MAGA base destroyed just like they wanted to see the Tea Party base destroyed so they could get back to the business of self-indulgence in 2012.

Remember the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel was created while Republicans held control over the House and Senate in 2017.  It was republicans as well as democrats who wanted to see President Trump removed.  Republicans held both chambers of congress in 2017, and supported the special counsel appointment then demanded it be protected.   The January 6th commission would be organized with the same motives and intents.  Only they wouldn’t be erasing Trump, they will be erasing YOU.

The activity by the FBI in the January 6th events should be researched and investigated, but don’t fall into the trap of demanding congress to do the investigation.  They will weaponize that request against our interests.

Instead of giving our enemy ammunition, keep supporting independent research, demanding documents and identifying evidence of the FBI involvement by any means legally possible.  Then help the legal defense teams of those who are being charged in the cases to use their position as defendants to demand evidence in the cases against their clients.

All of the lawyers with clients under federal charges should use the full weight of the legal system to demand “Brady Evidence” that supports the innocence of their clients against the ridiculous accusations by the DOJ.  The defense teams should be allowed access to CCTV footage and any evidence of FBI informants who had contact with the accused.

In essence use the legal system to discover the evidence of FBI corruption while simultaneously defending their clients.  A recent example for this approach might be how Sidney Powell defended Michael Flynn and used discovery demands to highlight gross government abuses by the DOJ/FBI against her transparently innocent client.

The defense lawyers could organize a group defense fund for just this purpose and then ask the public for money.  Every client would benefit from the findings.

It is beyond absolute that anyone who advocates for the legislative branch to investigate the FBI involvement in January 6th, is only supporting the interests of the DC system and UniParty who would love nothing more than to have public pressure on them to investigate their own role.

Alas, I fear we are only a few days away from this exact scenario happening, unless people wake up soon.

Hey James.... In this interview on June 3, you are quoted as saying this...”I read the Bible a whole lot. I study the Bible in a historical context away from what the examples are that you ought to live by.”

Can you explain what the meaning is of Exodus 20:16 “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”

Or how about Exodus 23:1
“Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.”

Seems like Clyburn would do better to focus on governing America in an effective, competent manner. But, oh no, that is not what democrats do.

1/6 terrified the swamp.

1/6 was nothing compared to what needs to be done.

1/6 "crisis" gives the swamp power on top of Covid power.
