Rush to judgment on Trump Impeachment? Multiple leftists arrested for Capitol riot

When the Capitol riots happened on Jan. 6, the blame of President Trump was all over.

Supposedly, he was the instigator. Supposedly, he'd egged the rioters on. The tape of his urging his supporters to stay strong and fight was Exhibit A in the press, and with no skepticism whatsoever, House speaker Nancy Pelosi declared Trump guilty and rushed a crazily hasty second impeachment just days before Trump's exit. She declared that it was all about holding Trump "accountable," and she added that her explicit aim at the uselessly late date was to prevent him from ever running from public office again.

Never mind what the voters might want. In more ways than one, in Pelosi's addled mind, their votes don't count.

The press also rushed to judgment — even the Wall Street Journal's editorial writers, claiming that Trump's political capital and credibility was now gone and he'd never run for president again.

But as news of the arrests comes out, showing who these branded Trump so-called supporters are, the conventional argument is starting to splinter apart.

The arrests made in the riots case are starting to show the kind of people who like to riot, which is to say extreme leftists.

Start with this freak, as reported by Fox News:

A left-wing activist who told Fox News last week that he'd followed a pro-Trump mob into the Capitol in order to "document" the siege is now the subject of a criminal complaint in connection with his alleged participation, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
John Sullivan can allegedly be heard egging on protesters in video he provided to the FBI, according to a federal criminal complaint. He has also shared the video to his YouTube and Twitter accounts under the pseudonym Jayden X.

And the frame of Trump was once again cut in a clumsy way, no fitted corners or any attempt to look like anything except a hasty half-a**ed job done by persons not well skilled in the nuances of persuasion meant to steer people to their way of thinking.

Fear and intimidation work on the short term, but now that the rules of engagement have been defined, the path to counteroffensive are clear - smash-mouth, scorched earth, and take no prisoners.

The Harris-Biden regime is facing an uphill struggle all the way, and they find themselves going into battle not with the army they want, but the army they have.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But he has to be able to direct the underlings as they blunder about and get into each other’s way.

That takes a LOT of effort.

I wish her conclusion were correct, but truth is not as important as the big media/big tech narrative.

We are seeing that the “riot” was certainly influenced by leftist with prior planning known to law enforcement, but inexplicably not acted on by those responsible for securing the capital. We now know that the security personnel in charge asked for extra resources that were denied. We also know that the “riot” began well before Trump finished a speech in which he said nothing about “storming the capital” and encouraged peaceful protests.

Were there some MAGA folks who got carried away? Certainly, but remove the professional agitators and employ reasonable security measures and it is unlikely we are not talking about this today and Ashli would be alive and maybe the officer as well. Sadly, too few will reach the same conclusion.

The truth no longer matters..... the media and impeachment narrative is more powerful. “Journalist” and “pundits” are able to reach quick conclusions that fit their narrative and broadcast them to trusting consumers.

We are going to see declassified documents in the coming days that show Steele leaked his “dossier” to take heat off of Hillary for her email scandal and the FBI KNEW THIS. Where was that in the Mueller report? I must have missed it.

We are going to see declassified documents that Stefan Halper, a spy, was tasked by the FBI to insinuate himself with the Trump campaign in order to pass info to the..... FBI. The very definition of spying done at the direction of law enforcement! The media still denies that anyone was spied on and most of the public believes that.

We spent 3 years and 42 million dollars investigating this. The narrative is that Trump is a stooge of Putin. The purpose of the “special counsel” was to investigate foreign interference - not Trump. Remember how many times they told this lie? How many references to Hillary and her campaign were in the final report? Zero. Lots of “suggestion of crimes by Trump such as obstruction”, but no mention that the opposition campaign paid for foreign dirt and leaked it to a willing media for political reasons.

We are going to see declassified documents that will likely show that Seth Rich, who was murdered, was the source of the DNC email leak to wikileaks. A narrative that the FBI and our intel agencies have denied and dismissed for 4 years. John Solomon did not come out and say this directly, but read between the lines.....

Does not matter.... the narrative is complete. It is even worse in that the FBI never examined the servers, but they made declarative statements about the origin of the information based on incomplete investigation or a direct refusal to acknowledge the truth. A deliberate lie?

In the coming months we will likely learn much more about how the election was riddled with fraudulent votes. Does not matter..... Harris will be President and likely more than half the country will simply accept that it was a fair and honest election because that is what they tell them.

In the coming months we will likely learn much more about the Biden family business and how they peddled influence for millions. Does not matter. Election is over and media told us there was nothing to see even as they now admit that maybe there is some “impropriety”.

What is my prayer in all of this? That a majority of Americans will wake up to the big lie of the media. The media and their minions have done NOTHING to earn our trust in the past 4 years. In fact, they have lied to us repeatedly with real consequences for our nation. The media “narrative” is now the most powerful thing in our nation.

Then there is the China virus..... many more lies. However, the narrative of fear and the destruction of our economy was largely based on political goals and not “science.” I wonder if a majority of the public will figure this out? The virus is real and I know people it has claimed, but there was obviously a better way to address it wasn’t there?

HCQ and zinc administered early worked. The media, those purveyors of pure science, are now admitting it as are the bureaucrats of the pandemic. How many people would have survived if they were encouraged to be treated early, even prior to a “positive test” was received? Nope, we could not have any hope of an effective treatment because Trump mentioned it.

Crazy isn’t it?
