Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday blasted the “leftist” Jan 6. House Select Committee following its sweeping records request which included call logs from Trump and several former members of his administration.

Trump said the committee has “further exposed itself as a partisan sham and waste of taxpayer dollars,” calling the request “timed” in order to distract Americans from “historic and global catastrophes brought on by the failures of Joe Biden and the Democrats.”

“Unfortunately, this partisan exercise is being performed at the expense of long-standing legal principles of privilege,” Trump said in an emailed statement.

Democrats, the party of defying subpoenas in election audits and serial occupiers of government buildings in civil disobedience style protests, wants internal executive documents to fish with because some citizens protested the legitimacy of the election by occupying a government building. Meanwhile they want no culpability for supporters’ hate-week style riots that have burned down business and costs life. Nor for the tragic outcomes of their absurd policy decisions, nor scrutiny of their constant sale of political favors.

The FBI couldn’t find any wrongdoing on Trump’s part, but Nancy thinks she can. The FBI report has not deterred her political vendetta not one bit. Truth never stops a charging Marxist.

She has no real interest other than creating an impression there was wrongdoing by Trump. No matter what he does she will spin it as wrongdoing. Refuse to provide the records? wrongdoing. Give the records and she will find anything out of context to give the impression of wrongdoing.
