Democrats and their Fake News Media allies are pretending the January 6th Commission is legitimately exposing a vast right-wing conspiracy to “overthrow democracy.”
The only problem is, they’re not.
And Trey Gowdy just brought one of the January 6th Commission’s dirtiest secrets to light.
The January 6th Commission’s first hearings were nothing more than pure political theater, orchestrated by a former ABC News president to elevate Democrats and diminish Republicans, namely former President Donald Trump.
Throughout the hearings, members of the commission continued to echo their claim that President Trump was the supposed puppet master behind this plot to “overthrow” the government.
But as former South Carolina Congressman turned Fox News host Trey Gowdy pointed out, the Commission is still yet to produce even a shred of evidence to back up that claim.
“If, in fact, the President knew he lost, if, in fact, he knew he lost the election — that’s new,” Gowdy said recently on Fox News. “I’ve never heard him say that. So if they have testimony on that, I think that’s important if he knew the fraud was not dispositive. The thing I really highlighted — if he really thought that hanging Mike Pence was a good idea, then that is both provocative and new.”
But Gowdy wasn’t done there.
He then proceeded to take aim at the way the Commission is conducting its supposed “investigative” hearings, utilizing edited video and not allowing any adversarial cross-examination of witnesses.
“It also has to be fair, and when you get to call all the witnesses and you get to select which excerpts to read or play or which videos — ours is an adversarial system,” the former federal prosecutor explained. “I mean, every major court decision is based on adversary, so there needs to be more of that for the jury to buy it.”
The January 6th Commission has also attempted to claim that they would be exposing lots of “new” information that proves their claims of a right-wing conspiracy led by President Trump.
And according to the corporate-controlled media, one of those new pieces of information that deserves headlines for days, is the revelation that former Attorney General William Barr told Trump his voter fraud concerns were “bullshit,” leading Barr to resign in December 2020.
But as Trey Gowdy also pointed out in his interview with Fox News, none of that is new, earth-shattering information.
In fact, as Gowdy points out, Attorney General Barr wrote a whole book centered around anecdotes just like that, and spent weeks on a book tour promoting those claims.
“Speaking of AG Barr, it’s compelling. It’s probative — it’s just not new,” Gowdy stated. “So what I was looking for, me, we all know that Bill Barr, he wrote a book about it… I’m looking for things that are both probative and new.”
It’s beyond clear what the January 6th Commission is after here.
They don’t want the truth, they simply want to ensure Donald Trump is never able to run for President again.
Whether that’s because their Fake News Media allies helped brainwash Americans with all of their baseless claims, or because they convinced Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland to indict Trump so he legally can’t run again, doesn’t matter.
Just so long as the ends justify their means, Democrats believe all this political theater will be worth it.
