One year from today...

[kentuck]

The Select Committee of the House is scheduled to hear three witnesses, including one participant in the Insurrection of January 6th. They will also hear the testimony of a Capitol Hill policeman.

Republicans are complaining of the manner in which the Committee is being run. They say they are not treated fairly. Some threaten to walk out.

(Democrats point out to the whiners that they were offered a balanced Commission and they turned it down. It would have been completed in December of 2021.)

There is tremendous controversy in that Minority Leader McCarthy and former President Donald Trump are refusing to testify, even under threat of subpoena. There is speculation that it will go all the way to the Supreme Court. The Biden Justice Dept says they have no special right to reject the subpoena and should have to testify.

Republicans claim that the Democrats are using the Select Committee for political purposes, before the 2022 midterms. Democrats remind them of the Benghazi Select Committee of a few years ago.

Is that where we are going to be one year from now?

1. Close to yes

As soon as the Senate shoots down the 50/50 panel that will be the option left. The Democrats should move on it immediately as the Republicans will start to run out the clock immediately. The start should be to follow the money, don’t worry about the sideshow crap, follow the money. And see where it leads.

2. Hopefully?

I hope that the House Select Committee will be able to keep the Jan 6 insurrection investigation in the headlines all the way up to the Nov 2022 elections and maybe even until the Nov 2024 ones as well. This should never become "old news."

In my opinion, Madame Speaker has played this just about perfect.

Now, the orange hemorrhoid's attempted coupe with bloody capital police, psycho witch doctors, special ops militia guys (with their mammas) holding zip ties, etc. every frigging day!

Make them wear it, eat it, answer questions about it, sing and dance about it, EVERY SINGLE DAY!
