The true reason for the January 6 committee was exposed by the report recommending that Congress ban Trump from running again. That was the only thing they wanted. But just like every other failed "investigation" into President Trump, it failed miserably.
So now what?
"The final report from the January 6th kangaroo court was released last night, causing a great wave of hoopla and hyperventilating from the liberal media. The broad overviews of the report describe some sort of apocalyptic nightmare wherein the foundations of the nation’s democracy were shaken to their very core or something. While considerable space was devoted to the actual individuals who rioted on that day (along with the far larger number of people who basically trespassed in the Capitol building), the primary focus of the report was, of course, Donald J. Trump and his alleged evil machinations enacted in an effort to overturn the election. But the real coup de grace was picked up by the Washington Post and they ran with it as their headline. “Jan. 6 report recommends Congress ban Trump from running again....
...The Democrats are so terrified by the prospect of Trump returning to the White House that some method had to be found to prevent him from even trying. That was the entire reason we’ve watched this endless parade. But it seems like a far-flung hope at best and it’s one of the most undemocratic things imaginable, speaking of “threats to our democracy.” What they are really suggesting is that the choice of the next president should be removed from the voters of the nation by the will of a slim majority of the members of Congress.
Cheney’s suggestion is also flawed and unconstitutional on its face. Congress does not have the power to “ban” anyone from running for any office unless it’s someone they have ejected from a seat in its own chambers. (And even then it’s unclear if they can ban someone from trying again after they are ejected.) In order for Donald Trump to be excluded from any future presidential elections, he would first need to be tried and found guilty of insurrection or treason in a court of law. Congress can’t simply “declare him to be guilty” without a trial. And unless he is found guilty of one of those crimes, he isn’t barred from running, providing he is over the age of 35 and a natural-born citizen of the United States."
The real reason for the J6 committee is laid bare
