I've noticed that the right is almost totally silent about the 1/6 committee & DOJ investigation

I've not seen or heard a peep in quite some time. No nightly rants on faux by any of their goons. No word salad cries of 'witch hunt' in either writing or at the kkk rallies from TFG. Looking at right wing sites there is almost no talk of them going on. Even looking at the meager coverings from MSNBC and other networks on youtube show almost zero right wing trolls going off about it.

When TFG was in office and had Barr protecting him from anything under the DOJ, he spouted off endlessly. Anything regarding impeachment, where he knew there was no chance of conviction, and he was shouting to the heavens. And all his right-wing toadies shouted with him.

The silence is deafening. I think they are rightfully and truly scared.

I wouldn't know because I can't tolerate any exposure to winger world.

It should be interesting if DOJ ever starts arresting the top level coup plotters.

... proximity to these revelations, 3. Top maga will be arrested.

I pray this happens to affect MAGA elections come Nov along with SC taking away RvW and the fact that Dem/Rep generic is still close ...

We might have a chance to add dems this Nov

That's a lot of GOTv, we still have a chance

They ignore virtually ANY news story that goes against their “Dems bad” narrative. Basically hoping it goes away. And face it, in the modern media’s 24 hour news cycle 1/6 is already “yesterdays news”, by a long shot. So Faux News, et al will just ignore it and hope it goes away. Doesn’t mean they’re scared; it’s just a strategy that seems to work. Again and again.

I’ve got an acquaintance who watches too much Fox. I can’t count the times I’ve told him something shocking that TFDG said or did that literally EVERYBODY on this site would know about, and his response would always be “oh? I hadn’t heard about that. I’ll have to look into it…”. Oh well, don’t “look into it” by continuing to watch Faux Spews, because they are never going to mention it!

the 1/6 committee will be gone after the mid-terms. I don't know what they are thinking about Garland.
