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.”

Indeed--Bret should ponder how many Conservative Republicans would be glad when the pedophiles at the lincoln project and their allies in the corporate grooming cabal are put in prison where they belong.

I know Bush Leaguers like Hume would be very happy.

So would most of the elected, who are also Bush League Republicans.

I think you are correct. There are quite a few assistant Democrats that would love for him to be gone.

The fact that people like him say this makes me realize just how desperately we must have Trump back in office. He smokes them out, and we have a lot more smoking out to do.

Arguably true.

"Many Republicans" == people who are *still* George Bush fans.

How many is "many"?

Hume would better serve us by discussing the aspects of the Jan 6 affair that the committee is ignoring.

BS.

OTOH - if the 1/6 commission made BLM and the Democrats go away I’d be all for it.

Almost all politicians play a role. They will be whatever gets them elected and reelected. Bill Clinton was the best at playing the role that I have ever witnessed.

There are some exceptions like Bernie and AOC who are true believers. However, even those two are really hypocrites. Bernie and his three houses and drives an expensive car.
AOC drives a $50K Tesla and lives in expensive apartment complex in DC. She spends more on her wardrobe than most people spend on food.

Come on, let’s be bipartisan. Democrats would be happy to be rid of Biden.
