I personally support peaceful demonstrations but oppose riots. Jan. 6th was a riot therefore I oppose it. People who participated in that riot and damaged property or attacked the police should be arrested and prosecuted. The same should apply to the BLM and Antifa riots.
However to call the Jan. 6th riot an insurrection is in my opinion a stretch. No firearms were found on the protestors and few even bothered to disguise their faces. Once in the Capitol building the protestors largely wandered around without any plan of attack. There obviously was no preplanning involved. If the protestors had cornered the Congress critters the armed police could have stopped them quickly with their firearms.
Yes it is a select committee. A very select committee. A bunch of Democrats and a couple of āNever Trumpā Republicans. To me it is a kangaroo committee much like a kangaroo court.
Perhaps when the Republicans regain control of the House after the Midterms they will have a real investigation and address the evidence that the FBI was involved in inciting the mob.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines āinsurrectionā as: āan organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violenceā
By that definition, there was no āinsurrectionā at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the FBI. Reuters reports:
How long can the full truth of 1/6 can be hidden from the public? The Feds are doing their utmost to prevent the truth from coming to light.

In mid June, Revolver News published a groundbreaking investigative report arguing that certain elements of the federal government not only had foreknowledge of the events of 1/6, but that some senior members of the major militia groups blamed for the so-called āinsurrectionā were actually federal informants or undercover operatives themselves.
Scarcely three months after this report, the New York Times took the occasion of a sleepy Saturday morning to quietly confirm that there were indeed FBI informants among those militia members who āstormed the Capitol.ā
We learn that this particular informant, affiliated with a Midwest chapter of the Proud Boys militia group, provided the FBI advance warning that he would be traveling to DC along with other Proud Boys. The informant also kept his FBI handler in the loop as the āstorming of the Capitolā unfolded throughout the day on the 6th.The piece goes on to reference an āadditional informant from another Proud Boys chapter that took part in the sacking of the Capitol.ā
