Hume: ‘Many Republicans Would Privately Be Very Glad’ If 1/6 Probe Makes Trump Go Away
breitbart ^ | 13 Jun 2022 | PAM KEY

Posted on 06/14/2022 5:14:02 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said Monday on FNC’s “Special Report” that many Republicans would be privately very happy if the House Select Committee, which is investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, damages Donald Trump to the point he can’t be the presidential nominee in 2024.

Anchor Bret Baier asked, “I guess the question still is, are they moving towards trying to make a legal case against Donald Trump, or one that is a political case to somehow prevent him from being a factor in 2024?”

Hume said, “Well, I think they’re doing both. Jamie Raskin, one of the committee members, has said, you know, part of what they’re doing is to create something that can be referred to the justice department for possible prosecution. What strikes me about this, Bret is that if they succeed – either by damaging him or staining him such that he is either unable or for legal or for political reasons to run again – they might end up finding out that they’ve done the Republican Party a great service, because I think a great many Republicans think they can’t win with Trump at the head of the ticket again. They are afraid of his supporters and don’t want to come out against him directly. But they’d like him to go away. If the effect of this committee is to make his possible candidacy go away, I think a great many Republicans would privately be very glad.”

They do so at peril of their continued political existence.

the 1/6 committee itself is an illegal, unconstitutional plot to overthrow our government. Arrest every member of it

Well, technically, the title is true, depending on how you define “many”. There are quite a few rinos. There’s Liz, Romney, Collins...

That’s what 6 January is designed to do by the communists. So far, the American people aren’t impressed. Except for far left politicians and their suicidal offspring. And then there’s Jo Jo the Pedophile Clown’s Sh*t Show, JuneTeefus Day.

The Jeb Bush Republicans, sure. Not the ones like the actual everyday folks across the country.

Note to Hume:

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

The pols who’d be glad to make Trump go away are Deep State.

Republicans, maybe. People that believe in a Great American, never. I have no faith that a person calling themselves a republican, especially an elected official, cares about the country as a republic based in freedom and liberty. Their daily actions show it.

One more note to Hume: President Washington was right about political parties, wasn’t he...

I personally believe Britt Hume is correct, the rank and file Republicans like myself and probably people like you don’t want to Trump to go away, but many of the Republicans in Washington and other places would love to see Trump exiled to Mar a lago and never see him again.

Apparently he is talking about Republican voters not politicians. Had he been referring to the politicians I would have to agree, but that is not the case with the voters at all.

OT: The formerly conservative site Hot Air pretty much died yesterday. They went to a subscription model and you now have to pay to be able to post or read posts. It had gone downhill a lot over the last year. It used to be a great sue but RIP now.

Hume: ‘Many Republicans Would Privately Be Very Glad’ If 1/6 Probe Makes Trump Go Away

Thank you, Captain Obvious. But I suspect that those 'many Republicans' are going to be disappointed.
