Barr Has Spoken to January 6 Committee, Chairman Says
CBS News ^ | 1/23/2022 | Melissa Quinn

Washington — Congressman Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, revealed Sunday that former Attorney General William Barr has spoken with investigators.

"We've had conversations with the former attorney general already. We have talked to Department of Defense individuals," Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, said in an interview with "Face the Nation" when asked if the committee intended to speak with Barr about a draft executive order reportedly given to former President Donald Trump that would have directed the Defense Department to seize voting machines after he lost the 2020 election.

It's really "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" for any Trump administration alumni dealing with the clowns on Nancy Pelosi's kangaroo court "Jan 6th committee".

REFUSE to talk to them and they'll get their pals in the media to howl that you're "obstructing justice" and trying to "cover up crimes", issue a subpoena, and try to force you to testify about what you're "hiding".

AGREE to talk to them and they'll eagerly ask you a bunch of loaded "Have you stopped beating your wife, sir?" questions to get the answers that they're already determined in advance will be.

The dumbest thing is when they forced Bannon to comply with their dictates and testify about his efforts in the "insurrection". As I noted to some lefty gloating about it, Bannon was a private citizen at the time and not been a member of the Trump administration or Trump's inner circle for YEARS when it happened. It would make as much sense as the GOP forcing Dee Dee Myers to testify under oath about her 'involvement' in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Was she covering for Bubba? I WANT ANSWERS!

Trump tweeted Barr’s pending resignation on December 14, which became effective on December 23, 2020, for those interested in the dates.

People do NOT show up for an “insurrection” UN-armed.

This is a farce and ANYBODY giving it a moment of their time is part of the ACTUAL insurrection.

Nobody's feeling any heat. Everybody knew the conclusion this investigation would reach before they did one bit of investigating. The outcome of the investigation was the very reason for the event. It's why Ray Epps and dozens of others tried to incite as much violence as they could. It's why Lt. Michael Byrd was handed a gun and told to shoot somebody.

They wanted maximum violence and did everything they could to incite it. Even with a woman murdered by the police, the final tally was 5 or 6 windows broken. Not much of a violent "insurrection" but they already had the script written and they could backfill some violence later, just by making it up ("Capitol Policeman killed by fire extinguisher!" - the lying NY Times.)

So this kabuki theater will play out and they'll try to create some new law that specifically declares a single eligible human being ineligible for the office of the Presidency.

After that there'll be a bunch of legal wrangling and we'll see what happens. Might come to shooting at some point, because neither the white hats nor the black hats seem likely to accept an outcome that isn't in their favor.

Unsigned? Might as well say Nancy Pelosi wrote it.

It's going to grind through the courts and next one or two elections. We're not going to stop them from being jackasses until we win in court or the people toss them out of office.

Jackasses gonna jackass.
