‘And all through the House…’ — What History will make of the Jan. 6 Republicans
The hill ^ | 12/25/2022 | ALBERT HUNT, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

Posted on 12/25/2022 8:29:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Jan. 6 committee takes its place alongside the Watergate panel, the Truman committee and a few other congressional investigations that leave a profound historical mark.

While unique, it’s a case study in how to conduct a serious investigation. The careful, exhaustive and private preparation of interviews and gathering evidence set the stage for the compelling public hearings — which left no doubt that the President of the United States attempted a coup to remain in power and sabotage democracy.

The panel, led by Democratic chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Republican Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), showed that the Jan. 6 deadly mob assault on the Capitol was only the culmination of a corrupt conspiracy.

“History”? It’s like the “reality” they also liberate from it’s traditional grammatical and journalistic definitions; so as to enable a more stealthy double standard.

The next Jan 6 will feature SCOTUS conference with a pro se entry that was invited out of the morass of state courts by SCOTUS for consideration.

Allow the Speaker of the House to appoint all members of the committee.
Do not allow Republicans to appoint members to the committee.

One could add, "Emasculate the R leadership."

What is particularly galling is that Speaker Pelosi appointed those dictatorial powers to herself simply by modifying the House Rules.

It does not appear our political party in opposition, led by McCarthy, raised a peep at the time, but rather only after it became embarrassing public knowledge.

What could the R's have done about it without a majority in the House?

For starters,
1. Raised hell non-stop as one voice with each and every public appearance.
2. Otherwise flooded the public arena and made sure the voters knew what kind of scam the anti-MAGA Leftists were running the minute she changed the long-standing Rules.

You make entirely too much sense!! Something our RINO friends in Congress lack.

Bennie Thompson Transcripts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=easwf94aLXU

Thompson in 2021
…Place for politics of partisanship in this investigation. Our only charge is to follow the facts where they lead us, and why are we have a lot to uncover, there are a few things we already know.

We know that the Insurrection on January 6th was a violent attack that involved vicious assault on law enforcement. We know there is evidence in a coordinated planned attack. We know that men and women who stormed the capital wanted to derail the peaceful transfer of power in this country. We know that seven people lost their lives.

Thompson in 1971?
I treated fairly and give them every opportunity afforded them by law. This was not done In the case of the Republic of new Africa. They are charged with obstructing justice. This, I believe, is an attempt on the part of law enforcement officials to stop the Republic from building its Community. My position is that people are in town to live as they choose, so long as they are law-abiding and peaceful.

Narrator 1971?
Last September Loftin Mason receive a tempting for a portion of his farm land just outside of Jackson.
The price was right and Mason approved of the plans of the prospective buyers, a group of

over the next six months. The group, leased the land, and began this foundation for one of their buildings. But then last March, larger contingent of the group turned up. Some of them carrying guns. They proclaimed the tract of land, the capital of something called the Republic of new Afrika. They raised a flag and stated their purpose. To form an independent black nation in the South.

This was the first indication Mason had that his land was to be used as headquarters for what local officials have labeled revolutionaries.

Mason hired, an attorney who advised him that since the group had not paid full rent, or a down payment for purchase, they had no legal right to stay on the land. A local court has enjoined the New Africans from trespassing, but the group still claims a right to the land and will bring their case before a so-called People’s Court.

Mason is Keeping his shotgun handy, but for the time being is letting the law handle his case.

Narration continues:
State and local officials, and police have backed Mason up and are ready to help him defend his land If it becomes necessary. But many people here, hope that a confrontation can be avoided. That the Republic of new Afrika will just fade away or locate elsewhere. Next news I got, they are down there on the plate, on the land.

I didn’t see them down there, but I was informed that there was on there, waving the gun. So I decided I wouldn’t need me going on this, over them because chance, I might have got to rape down there among that many. So, I applied them to the sheriff, Lloyd, my lawyer and I went over to sheriff and they wrote up some papers. We went down and look for them, but they wasn’t there.

Reporter:
Look, if they should try to return to the land. What would you do?

Mason:
Well, if they would try to try to return to it, I’ll notify the sheriff and my lawyer And I don’t know, is nothing I could do unless and I was allowed to get little bit better weapons than I got, I’d like to have machine guns, if I could, but I don’t know where they want me to have it or not, so I know what I’d do if they would let me have that. I was thinking this morning about asking permission to own one problem in this category.

Reporter:
what would you do with a machine gun?

Mason:
Well, I’ll do what that machine gun will allow me to do.

Reporter:
Do you mean you would use the machine gun to keep them off if necessary?

Mason:
Yes, sir.

Reporter:
Do you think that type of action will become necessary?

Mason:
Well, I don’t like to think so, but I didn’t think they would go down there and go in the place, and I put up a posted sign, I also, I never thought to tell you a minute ago, I put up a posted sign down there, they pulled that post up and put that post and sign aside. Now if they did that, and I had already told them that I wouldn’t sell. I don’t know what else they might do.

Thompson in 1971?
I’m treated fairly and give them every opportunity afforded them by law. This was not done In the case of the Republic of new Africa They are charged with obstructing justice. This I believe is an attempt on the part of law enforcement officials to stop the Republic from building its community. My position is that people are in town to live as they choose, so long as they are law-abiding and peaceful.

Thompson 2021:
There’s no place for politics or partisanship in this investigation.

Peter Navarro? 2021?
On Tuesday, In this courtroom right here, I filed a civil suit against the kangaroo committee on the hill, seven partisan Democrats, two Rhino Republicans, the essence of that civil suit was that the subpoenas issued by the committee are Ultra beerus unlawful and unenforceable. And I made that case based on four legal arguments. The first is that This committee is neither newly authorized nor properly constituted, meaning that it doesn’t follow the rules of either the house itself or the committee’s own authorizing resolution. I would refer you to the civil suit but it’s h.res 8 and h.res. 1037, I’m not the only one who has filed the question of the validity of that kangaroo committee as Nancy Pelosi herself calls that committee unprecedented. And she’s absolutely right.

Thompson 2021:
This is no place for politics of partisanship. In this investigation.

It will also show that the Committee hid exculpatory information would prove that Pelosi, Bowser and the FBI conspired to incite the crowd of protesters.
hopefully, Jordan will be able to prove these allegations and derail the kangaroo court sham named Jan 6th Committee.

The Jan 6th investigation was more like the Stalin show trials of the 30’s, in which the result was a foregone conclusion. The only difference is that the accused were forced to admit their guilt, presumably under threat of torture.

They will be exposed as the frauds they all were.
The entire exercise was a setup,a fraud,Ray Epps and his fellow conspirators all on video coordinating the entire attack,taking down fences and no trespassing signs before Trumps speech was even finished.
Biggest fraud in American History.
Democrats had to prevent Pence from sending electors back to State,something democrats said he didn’t have the power to do as VP,if that is so why did they take that very authority away from the VP in the just passed budget monsrosity?
