The House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection concluded its series of eight hearings this week with a presentation intended to be the final piece of its narrative puzzle that painted former President Trump as responsible for the violent attack on the US Capitol -- and more broadly, American democracy -- on January 6, 2021.

The committee presented a devastating case that Trump sought multiple avenues to overturn the 2020 presidential election even after he was told he lost, that the former President knew ahead of time January 6 could turn violent, and that he chose not to act when his supporters attacked the Capitol and put the lives of lawmakers -- not to mention his own vice president -- in danger.

The most damning accounts came his inner circle, as multiple former Trump White House aides gave firsthand accounts of the President's unwillingness to accept reality and abandon his delusions about the election.

The committee, which consisted of seven Democrats and two Republicans, relied almost exclusively on testimony from GOP officials and nonpartisan civil servants, in an attempt to rebut criticisms of partisanship. "

For two years, congressional Democrats ran into White House stonewalling while they tried to investigate all aspects of the Trump administration. Beyond some notable exceptions -- notably the officials who came forward during Trump's first impeachment -- the blockade was successful at evading accountability.

Things have been different with the January 6 committee. Former Attorney General Bill Barr said how Trump reacted when he told him the voter fraud claims were "bulls***."

And Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified live in a surprise hearing at the end of June, provided easily the most damning testimony about how she heard Trump say he did not care that the January 6 crowd was armed.

Just a wee bit lopsided, isn’t it? It is so infuriating.

Plus the National Lawyers Guild (aka, communists) sprung almost all those antifa and BLM rioters the same day they were arrested while the J6 people are still political prisoners.
