Twitchy US NEWS MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT CARTOONS Premium Content My Account × Search twitchy.com.... Brit Hume drags Jan. 6 Committee ‘Republicans’ for deliberately IGNORING Pentagon memo proving Trump absolutely wanted to AVOID violence Posted at 8:59 am on July 24, 2022 by Sam Janney

Liz Cheney’s Kangaroo Court, sorry, January 6th Committee hearings, has proven nothing more than Democrats (and sadly, two Republicans) will stop at nothing to hang the rioting at the Capitol on Trump. They sit back and pretend hearsay and gossip are actual evidence, dramatically play to the cameras with their fancy ABC director, and act like they’re doing us all a favor PROTECTING MUH DEMOCRACY or some other happy horse crap.

The reality is, that this is ultimately Nancy Pelosi’s show, and the players are doing exactly what they’re supposed to.

Even the Republicans.

Trump gave order to ‘make sure’ Jan. 6 rally was ‘safe event,’ Pentagon memo shows. Gen. Milley’s recollection undercuts Democrat effort to suggest president wanted to incite violence. | Just The News https://t.co/ewSe2DPhsu

— Just the News (@JustTheNews) July 22, 2022

From Just the News:

In it [Penatgon memo], the IG recounts a fateful meeting on Jan. 3, 2021 in the White House when then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with Trump on national security matters.

The complete passage — hardly mentioned by Democrats at the hearings or the news media covering them — is worth absorbing in its entirety.

“Mr. Miller and GEN Milley met with the President at the White House at 5:30 p.m.,” the IG reported. “The primary topic they discussed was unrelated to the scheduled rally. GEN Milley told us that at the end of the meeting, the President told Mr. Miller that there would be a large number of protestors on January 6, 2021, and Mr. Miller should ensure sufficient National Guard or Soldiers would be there to make sure it was a safe event. Gen Milley told us that Mr. Miller responded, ‘We’ve got a plan and we’ve got it covered.'”

You’d THINK they would bring this up, right?

But NOPE.

Brit Hume with the drop:

This is the sort of information, while not excusing Trump, that the 1/6 committee's Republicans would have insisted be part of the hearings, if they were trying to be fair. They are not. https://t.co/83MuTFmN4T

— Brit Hume (@brithume) July 22, 2022

But the Republicans don’t care about being fair …

Shame on Cheney and Kinzinger.

Facts matter

Naw, it actually does excuse him.

— ToothlessMeanie (@ToothlessMeanie) July 22, 2022

No upside to being fair.

— Paul K Dougherty (@Paulkdougherty) July 22, 2022

No ratings (although they were down 21%).

No midterm talking points.

This has never been about Democracy or justice, this has been about punishing Trump for winning in 2016 and doing a decent job while the machine did everything it could to get rid of him. You don’t have to be a Trump supporter to see how ridiculous this has all been, from the dual impeachments to the Russian collusion nonsense, and now this committee.

The swamp is a spiteful and vengeful thing – if only Trump had been able to remove more of it.

I don’t understand why Brit said, “This is the sort of information, while not excusing Trump...”. Excuse Trump for what?

Hume still thinks he is relevant.
He has no idea what is really going on.

Hume is a Bush Leaguer, he has to throw some shade at Trump, even while acknowledging that the memo DOES exonerate Trump.

Assuming the Republicans take over and have their own hearings, I am doubtful that the networks will be preempting scheduled programs to air any of it. They will bury any information as much as possible. Hence, why Cheney and Schiff can lie with impunity knowing that so many will cover for them.

Yeah, the fact that he felt the need to couch his statement just shows his own bias. He’s got a touch of TDS.

I can tell you if there are any Hearings, they will let the Dems assign who they wish to the Committee.

That’s what they do. There’s not even any debate.

Excuse Trump for the stolen election narrative. It’s just that simple.

It’s not bias. Hume does not accept the stolen election narrative. Trump lost by falling for Dem traps and strategic errors. The Dems certainly took advantage of Covid but it wasn’t fraud that cost Trump the White House. Fraud was a small factor.

What matters about January sixth is Trump’s public statement about peaceful and patriotic demonstration and things like this memo which shows he wanted law and order to be maintained. It makes no sense Trump would want his own “fiery but most peaceful protests” because that’s not a good image.

I don’t care what legal strategy he discussed about challenging the certifications, how he felt about Pence. If people really fed misinformation to Trump about fraud or bogus and dead end legal theories in order to personally profit and undermine his credibility they are traitors to his trust. And to the American people’s trust. Let’s not pretend Trump was surrounded by good people throughout his campaigns and presidency.
