Are Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger accomplices after the fact? If one watches episodic police and detective dramas, there often occurs a scene wherein a culprit is apprehended and charged as an accomplice “after the fact” for helping to cover up the crime. In the British equivalent of such shows, the police use the phrase “perverting the course of justice.” The bottom line is, if one aids in concealing, distracting, or diverting attention from the criminal act to prevent its detection, one is guilty of participating in a criminal enterprise, whether it be before or after the fact. The House...

After 889 days, two primetime media blowouts, and countless time wasted that could be spent solving America’s real problems, the partisan January 6 comittee made a humiliating confession: The committee likely won’t be making any criminal referrals.

The Jan. 6 committee announced Tuesday morning that its hearing set for Wednesday has been postponed. No reason was given.

The J6 Pilot Flopped Democrats can now add “televised distraction campaign sideshow” to their growing list of failures.The pilot episode of the January 6 hearings doomed the entire season. The ratings don’t lie: America is not enthralled. Despite unprecedented coordination on behalf of the mainstream media to synchronize coverage of the Democrats’ mockumentary, the left-wing smokescreen failed to capture the hearts and minds of the nation. America does not want to J6 and chill.Despite their greatest attempts at hyping the insufferable premier, CNN pulled in lower numbers than Tucker Carlson’s show the night before, which opened the Thursday 8 p.m....

The J6 committee has been caught in another lie … as Trump responds to this “Kangaroo Court.” Even sleazy used car salesmen have to be going, “What are these J6 Committee members trying to pull?” A second day of public, one-sided, hearings was no more credible than the first. In fact, let’s start by talking about credibility.Zero CredibilityFrom Axios: “Members of the Jan. 6 committee say they’ve gathered enough evidence to support a Justice Department indictment against Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.”These are the same people who said they had enough evidence to convict Trump for...

As the Democrat-run January 6th Committee goes to great lengths to present their unifying theory of insurrection surrounding that fateful day in 2001, Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger has debunked a Democrat allegation that a GOP lawmaker, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), ran a reconnaissance mission inside the Capitol one day before the riot. “There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021,” Manger wrote in a Monday letter to Rep. Rodbey Davis (R-IL), ranking Republican on the House Administration Committee, after reviewing security footage of Loudermilk giving people a tour...

H. L. Mencken once observed that no one “ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.” That’s a nicely phrased comment.— But I suspect we are on the verge of seeing it disproved. Those “great masses” understand what the House Committee is up to. Moreover, the public well remembers the multiple scenes of carnage from across the country from about the same time in response (ostensibly) to the black man who died while resisting arrest in Minneapolis. The mob breached the White House security perimeter. They torched police cars and police stations while...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) appears to have used the January 6 committee as a political weapon against her primary opponent. It is no secret that Liz Cheney’s political career as an establishment Republican took a nosedive into oblivion when she sided with the Democrats in their January 6 witch hunt. Since then, her primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, has been trouncing Cheney in the polls and now leads by a whopping 30 points. After a dismal first hearing for the January 6 committee that pulled in just 19 million viewers across the United States, Liz Cheney has now subpoenaed former Donald...

As during Communist control of Soviet Russia, the Jan. 6 Committee’s purpose is to prop up a dying, corrupt regime.. The House Select Committee on Jan. 6 launched the public phase of its proceedings Thursday night in a prime-time hearing with all the fanfare of a Soviet show trial, complete with production assistance from a former president of ABC News. Just as the communists gathered in Moscow between 1936 and 1938 to purge their political opponents in public show trials, nine members of the lower chamber filed into the Cannon House Office Building to demonize their political opponents as domestic...

"Send in the clowns," was a circus phrase used when a performer was seriously injured or killed while performing a dangerous act. People in the audience had to be distracted from the tragedy and clowns were summoned to divert the crowd’s attention. The Democratic Party, terrified about the blowback from Biden's shaky reign as a confused, dithering, monarch, yelled "send in the clowns. Let’s put on a show to distract the rubes and blame Trump." Inflation is raging and gasoline prices are higher than Hunter Biden on crack cocaine. The southern border is wide open and will intentionally remain that...

Tucker takes a long hard look at the media/Dem totally made up “insurrection” on January 6, and takes their lies apart.1. He starts with the brutal murder of ex military woman Ashli Babbitt by the capitol police for no reason. And the subsequent cover up of her killer, the cop.2. He moves on to one Bob Costa from CBS lying through his teeth yesterday that 5 policemen got killed by the protesters during this “insurrection”. The truth? Not even a single cop was killed by the January 6 protesters. 4 cops committed suicide long after the protests and the 5th...

Just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's partisan congressional committee is preparing to lobby the American public, through public hearings, that President Trump should be punished for "inciting" the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, a report has revealed that Capitol Police during an internal review found sweeping intelligence and security failures under Pelosi's watch. The committee is partisan because when it was established, the minority GOP nominated its members for a seat on the panel, and Pelosi refused. Instead, she picked two GOP players in Congress who openly have advocated for punishment for Trump. It already has interviewed hundreds...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a year since its inception, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will go public with its findings starting this week as lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster.

FBI agents have arrested one of the leading contenders for the Republican nomination for governor in Michigan over misdemeanor charges related to his actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Ryan Kelley, a frequent right-wing protest leader who attended the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, was one of the few remaining gubernatorial candidates on the Republican side left standing after a massive signature forgery scandal wiped out the race’s previous slate of top contenders. “Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol breach,” Bill Miller, a spokesperson for the...

As the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack prepares to stage a show trial of Donald Trump on Capitol Hill this week, I have filed a lawsuit challenging the Select Committee’s gross violations of the Constitution’s separation of powers. Yes, congressional committees do have the power to investigate. Yet, they can only do so in pursuit of a “legislative function,” e.g., to enact new rules, regulations, or policies. What settled law explicitly rules out is the pursuit of a “judicial function” in which a congressional committee seeks to act as judge, jury, and executioner. That clearly violates the...

A sham congressional committee working with a corrupt Justice Department boosted by a dishonest national media can only be expected to create political propaganda. U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) promises the January 6 Select committee hearings “will tell a story that will blow the roof of the House.” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) insists the committee’s “job is to tell the truth.” Turncoat Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) claims her fellow committee members will be “focused on facts, not rhetoric, and we will present those facts without exaggeration, no matter what criticism we face.” After a year of unrestrained investigation led...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol played out for the world to see, but the House committee investigating the attack believes a more chilling story has yet to be told -- about the president and the people whose actions put American democracy at risk. With personal accounts and gruesome videos the 1/6 committee expects Thursday’s prime-time hearing to begin to show that America’s tradition of a peaceful transfer of presidential power came close to slipping away. It will reconstruct how the president, Donald Trump, refused to concede the 2020 election, spread false claims of...

VIDEOJust in time for the January 6 Committee prime time circus to be televised on June 9, an FBI informant was indicted so the Kangaroo Court Committee can point to a "victory." They are so desperate to show results for all their effort that they even indicted someone whom Christopher Wray assured didn't exist, namely an FBI informant involved with the January 6 protests. Of course, in all of the gloating reports about the indictment of the FBI informant did any of them even mention that he is an... FBI informant.The name of the FBI informant is Enrique Tarrio and...

Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, and four other members of the far-right group were indicted on Monday for seditious conspiracy in connection with the storming of the Capitol last January, the most serious crime to be charged in the Justice Department’s sprawling investigation of the assault. The sedition charges against Mr. Tarrio and his co-defendants — Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola — came in an amended indictment that was unsealed in Federal District Court in Washington. The men had already been charged in an earlier indictment filed in March with conspiring to...

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Monday said the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has found evidence on former President Trump that supports “a lot more than incitement.” The comment from Raskin, a member of the Jan. 6 panel, referenced Trump’s second impeachment in January 2021, when the House voted to impeach the then-president for incitement to insurrection.
