Ready. Set. Lie! Trump Team All Prepared For Jan. 6 Hearings

[Lakhota]

The former president and his defenders are whitewashing the committee’s presentation before it has even begun.

WASHINGTON ― As the bipartisan House Jan. 6 committee prepares to detail how Donald Trump tried to overthrow democracy to remain in power, the former president and his allies are preparing an alternative reality for his followers to inhabit.

In this universe, the members of Trump’s mob who assaulted police officers and breached the Capitol, and are now being prosecuted for it, are actually “political prisoners.” The Jan. 6 committee ― which includes two Republican members, one of whom is the vice chair ― is a sham. And Trump himself did not do a single thing wrong.

“The Jan. 6 hearings will be damning for Donald Trump,” said former Rep. David Jolly, who served in Congress as a Florida Republican. “Without counterprogramming, every Republican would have to address whether they can still defend the former president amidst new revelations of his culpability. The GOP counterprogramming is simply grade-school politics of deflection.”

“Every time you see a Republican ‘counterprogram’ the hearings, you will see a Republican participating in Trump’s cover-up,” said Amanda Carpenter, a former top aide to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. “There will be bombshells, and every Republican who opposed the creation of the committee is a Republican who worked to prevent that information from ever becoming public.”

Trump and his defenders ― whose lies about the 2020 election being “stolen” from him stoked anger among his millions of followers, anger that boiled over at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 ― are nevertheless continuing to spread those same lies as they mix in new ones about the committee hearings and Justice Department investigations.

Matt Schlapp, who heads the Trump-aligned Conservative Political Action Conference and who personally helped spread Trump’s election lies in Nevada in the weeks following the 2020 election, wrote in a Wednesday Twitter post: “The 1/6 charade is more like a DNC convention than a congressional hearing.”

America first? Not for Trump Republicans! What do you think?

From the OP:

The Jan. 6 committee is planning a series of six public hearings, starting at 8 p.m. Thursday, to lay out Trump’s actions and statements that led to the violent attack on the Capitol, a last-ditch attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s legitimate election win. All three major broadcast networks are carrying the hearing live, as are CNN and MSNBC on cable.

Fox News, whose evening hosts acted as informal White House advisers during Trump’s presidency, is not carrying it. At 8 p.m., top-rated Tucker Carlson ― who months ago produced a “documentary” claiming that Jan. 6 was a false flag operation ― is scheduled to host his show as normal. The hearings are being relegated to Fox Business.

“Fox is a pure propaganda outlet,” said Norman Ornstein, a political scientist with the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. “It is clear that the last thing Republicans want is for their core audience to be exposed to a powerful reality that they have worked very hard to erase.”

From the OP:

Trump, despite losing the election by 7 million votes nationally and 306-232 in the Electoral College, became the first U.S. president in more than two centuries to refuse to hand over power peacefully. His incitement of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol killed five people, including one police officer; it also injured another 140 officers and led to four police suicides.

If they lie, they get caught and prosecuted as a felony, taking them out of the election pools of candidates and public disservents.

Looks like it was saving up on crazy so it could share with us and remind us that THIS TIME... they've GOT 'IM!

Fixed

Which has been the strategy from day one. They know they cannot defeat him, especially with the nation collapsing around them and they're desperate to find ANY way to keep him from being able to run. It isn't going to work. The real question should be, will they take the nation into widespread civil conflict if he runs. I believe they will.

Really? How so?

Look at the ones confessed or proven out of the trump administration. Decent lawyers know the answer to the question before they ask the guy on the stand or at the table. Then it boils down to whether they will accept lying, approving it of public official or prosecute as contrary to the law of the land.

If subpoenaed I would tell them that I will testify right after Pelosi does ... otherwise they are getting my pleading the 5th.

 

[two_iron]

The Dims don't mind going on national tv and shitting in the living rooms of their followers who are quite accustomed to the smell now, and seem to enjoy it. No level of humiliation or embarrassment is off the table.

This shit show is intended to give false hope to their soulless, degenerate base.... spoiler alert: prepare for Gut-Wrenching Disappointment #13,724.

I don't think he would win. Same as I knew he would lose. So I do not think that party will make him the candidate, giving the Democrats a ready-made villain. The problem with trying to overthrow a fair election is people know you have no respect for the country, the Constitution, the laws, or the people of the country. Don't forget, he was already rated as one of our shittiest presidents even before that. He won't get a second chance to destroy free elections here.
