Do you condone the treatment of the J6 political prisoners who have not been accorded due process? Do you believe the J6 committee is properly constituted? Why do you rely on cherry picked, edited "evidence" from an illegitimate committee? Do you believe Trump should have been impeached twice?
Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?

If the President does not act to quell a riot it's because he supports the riot. Get lost, you loser.
The President has no resources at his disposal to quell a riot after the leadership of Congress already rejected his request to send troops several days earlier.
Take your Pelosi/Schumer love interests somewhere else.

The J6 riots were a setup. No question about it. Pelosi and the democrats wanted a riot so they could immediately turn attention from the stolen election and the nationwide democrat riots throughout 2020.
The hypocrisy by the media and the democrats, who called the 2020 nationwide democrat riots, looting and arson "mostly peaceful protests" and then called a mostly peaceful protest in which a small percentage of tourist/protesters strolled through the open doors of the Capitol an "insurrection," is truly breathtaking.

The President has no legal jurisdiction over the U.S. Capitol -- especially when Congress is in session. That's one of the clear distinctions between the authority of the legislative and executive branches of government under our Constitution.
That's why he can only show up for his State of the Union address at the invitation of the Speaker of the House.

Now that the J6 committee could not get Trump on anything he said, the jerks now want to try to get him on what he DIDN’T say!!

“And Pelosi rejected the troops who were offered to her in advance.”
That might be the basis of his “delay” since he’d already requested the troops and Pelosi or someone denied it.

If Trump would’ve sent out the National Guard, his political opponents would’ve said he was using them in his ‘coup attempt’ or using them to ‘attack democracy.’
It was a “damned if you do” and “damned if you don’t” scenario.
Never forget, he offered the National Guard to help quell the liberal riots in liberal cities during the “Summer of Love.”
They refused the help.

The case against Donald Trump, in these hearings, is not made by witnesses who are his political ***enemies***
The facts be damned fools and their power soon parte.

The committee played a recording of an interview with an unnamed security official working at the White House on Jan. 6It's not even clear that these witnesses exist. WSJ has a paywall.
