Knock me over with a feather!
None other than Rachel Maddow makes the point that the Jan. 6 protesters who, in her words, “breached” the Capitol building, were a mile away from where Trump was giving his speech. The committee attempts to make the connection between events at the Capitol and Trump’s speech.
The point could not be more important. As the committee seeks to build a case against Trump for “inciting” protesters to violence, severing the connection between Trump’s words that afternoon and what was happening a mile away, without exaggeration, means that everyone can go home.
But rather than “breach” the Capitol, recent video obtained from the DOJ shows hundreds of protesters being politely allowed into the building and waved into the inner chambers. In the video, a half-dozen Capitol Police walk unconcernedly past protesters entering the inner doors, looking for all the world like a gaggle of Midwestern tourists looking for the 3:30 park ranger tour.
But the Jan. 6 Committee Follies do not end there, consisting of six Democrats and the two Republicans in Congress who hate Trump the most, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Only a few days in, the committee has already been caught altering evidence, omitting key evidence, and proceeding in a manner which Alan Dershowitz has said would get any prosecutor “disbarred.”
For one, the committee edited out key words from Trump’s speech that day, in a video montage which connects Trump’s speech to events at the Capitol. In the slickly produced montage Trump’s words are cut off at the moment he says that protesters should conduct themselves “patriotically and peacefully.”
Even better, it has been confirmed that California Congressman Adam Schiff altered a text from another congressman to Trump’s then chief of staff Mark Meadows, so much that the committee was forced to issue an apology saying “we regret the error.” The omitted words tempered a call for then Vice President Mike Pence to employ his prerogatives in certifying electoral votes “in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence.”
The doctored wording made it sound as if he was calling for Pence to unilaterally change the election.
Maddow at $30 million per year she is not stupid. It could well be that she sees the approaching Jan. 6 committee train wreck, and wants to be as far away from it as she can.
