Why No Jan 6 Investigation

[srgreene]

Kash Patel, who has had a pretty high powered career at DoJ and NSC, gave an excellent, wide ranging interview with Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek.


https://www.theepochtimes.com/premi...with-kash-patel-and-jan-jekielek_3835425.html


While he touched on several topics, at about 21:20 into the interview, Jan asked about the advisability of a congressional commission to study Jan 6. Kash discusses it more authoritatively than I can, but I will summarize his argument for you:

1. He notes that because of the current political environment, the commission will never be a bi-partisan investigation. If it were possible to have a truly bipartisan investigation in the current environment, he would look favorably on it, but sadly, it just isn’t. “Congress is where good investigations go to die.”

2. He says we know what happened on Jan 6 and describes the timeline of the “insurrection” that his staff put together and that was signed off by SecDef and the Secretary of the Army, who runs the National Guard. We do not need a year and a billion dollar investigation to figure out what happened.

3. Democrats and mainstream media (MSM) do not want you to know that two days prior to the event, President Trump signed off on calling up to 20,000 National Guard from around the country if SecDef deemed it necessary.

4. Dems and MSM also do not want you to know that Mayor Bowser sent a letter to SecDef refusing to request National Guard as required by law in order to deploy the Guard.

5. The commission would end up being rehash of Russiagate and impeachment episode. It would provide an entertaining sideshow for people with dubious agendas, but would contribute nothing to good government and would in fact simply be a distraction for that end.

BTW, the Epoch Times is an excellent source of information. I encourage those who really want to get a sense of what is happening in the USA and much of the rest of the world to subscribe. No, it’s not as comprehensive as the New York Times, but it is a much more reliable source of information about the world.

No it's not. It has low credibility and mixed factual with a right bias while trafficking in conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. Facebook pulled over 600 accounts not too long ago for spreading their bullshit.

BTW, the Epoch Times is an excellent source of information.

"Overall, we rate The Epoch Times Right Biased and Questionable based on the publication of pseudoscience and the promotion of propaganda and conspiracy theories, as well as numerous failed fact checks. "


"Editorially, there is an extreme Pro-Trump bias. Almost all articles praising Trump and denigrating the left, such as these Democratic Party: A Broken Kaleidoscope? and Five Reasons Trump’s Celebration of America Was Epic Display of Patriotism. According to an NBC News report, the “outlet has spent more than $1.5 million on about 11,000 pro-Trump advertisements in the last six months, according to data from Facebook’s advertising archive — more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself, and more than most Democratic presidential candidates have spent on their own campaigns.”"

Dido...The Epoch Times isn't a reputable.source of info....it's a partisan propaganda rag.

Well, it is if your last name is Trump anyway.

 

[Dribble]

It is simple...only Fascist traitors support a Fascist traitor. Time for the country to move on. Let those states that support Fascism go...or let us go. There is nothing "united" about this country and pretending there is only delays the inevitable. Allowing states to succeed is the only way to prevent violence.

^^^ Fuck off separatist.

Kash Patel,

This guy????

The person currently under a DOJ investigation for possible leaking of classified information...

"Patel was lionized by conservatives for authoring the infamous 2018 “Nunes Memo,” which alleged that the FBI intentionally misled a FISA court judge regarding the origins of the “Steele Dossier” in an effort to unlawfully surveil the Trump campaign and help Hillary Clinton win the 2016 presidential election.

The memo was roundly mocked by legal professionals and law enforcement officers. Even Trump’s hand-picked FBI director Christopher Wray issued a statement saying the bureau had “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

Find someone with credibility being interviewed by a news medium with a proven history of "fact based reporting" such as the CBC or BBC or Reuters, and base your post on that....

It’s up to the Biden Administration DOJ to complete their investigation. I’m sure they will pursue it just as vigorously as they’re pursuing Trump for “inciting an insurrection.”

FB pulled them after they were researched and proven fake by outside sources. FB doesn't do any investigating other than when it's brought to their attention.

Ironically for much of the right wing echo chamber it is. You likely have taken propaganda spread on Facebook as gospel.

If a Peer-Reviewed paper is published on FB, FB doesn't get credited with the research. It's really not that hard and it's sad that someone of your age is ignorant to this fact.

You're giving him a lot of credit for knowing what Falun Gong is. One thing I didn't know is that they are tightly affiliated with the Shen Yun dance troupe.

I only first learned of them through a friend whose family is Falun Gong.

How Mitch McConnell killed the US Capitol attack commission

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-capitol-attack-commission-senate-republicans


The story of how Republicans undermined the 6 January inquiry is informed by eight House aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity

Days before the Senate voted down the creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol attack, the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, was adamant: he would oppose the bill, regardless of any amendments – and he expected his colleagues to follow suit.

The commission that would have likely found Donald Trump and some Republicans responsible for the insurrection posed an existential threat to the GOP ahead of the midterms, he said, and would complicate efforts to regain the majority in Congress.

The prospect of a commission unravels

Surrounded by shards of broken glass in the Capitol on the night of 6 January, and as House Democrats drew up draft articles of impeachment against Trump, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, made her first outreach to canvas the prospect of a commission to investigate the attack.

In the immediate aftermath of the insurrection, Pelosi had reason to be hopeful. Spurred on by the threat felt by many Republicans to their personal safety, a swelling group of lawmakers had started to agitate for an inquiry to reveal how Trump did nothing to stop the riot.

But what was once heralded as a necessary step to “investigate and report” on the attack and interference in election proceedings unravelled soon after, with the commission swiftly reduced to an acrimonious point of partisan contention in a deeply divided Capitol.

Thank goodness for those highly respected Facebook content moderators. They are now even allowing information about the origins of the Covid 19 virus to be posted on their site!

Yes and because it is, the CCP will instruct all of their American operatives in the US Media, the American left, the Democrat Party, to condemn it, cancel it, and attack it, like they themselves did when it was the voice of freedom in Hong Kong.

There was no need for a new Democrat Circus designed to muddy issues in election year of 2022. The FBI and the DOJ are investigating and in the process of prosecuting hundreds of Americans for their transgressions on Jan.6.

When Americans hear Democrats opine about conducting honest forthright investigations only to get at the "truth" they want to hurry to somewhere safe and jam their fingers into the back of their throats.

Lots of Democrat talk here when it was Republitards who held the insurrection on Federal Grounds. You don't own your words here so this isn't surprising to anyone.
