As a refresher, let’s remember that then Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected five Republican House members selected by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to serve on the Jan. 6 Committee, questioning the impact that their appointments may have on “the integrity of the investigation.”
Then she allowed RINO’s Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to represent the Republican side, both with a mission to get Trump.
You may not be aware that the Committee hired storyteller James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, to select the video footage for his docudrama to be presented in their six-night televised hearing. His job was to lay out a compelling narrative to persuade Americans that what unfolded posed a serious threat to democracy.
Incidentally, the congressional hearing carried during prime time was highly unusual; time typically reserved for presidential addresses like the State of the Union and debates.
Fulfilling a promise made if elected Speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson is now making some 44,000 hours of Capitol Hill security footage taken on January 6, 2021 to be accessible to the American people. It will be posted to a public website.
Democrats have long sought to hide this footage from the public, knowing it would destroy their narrative of what took place that day.
A great deal of the footage shows people behaving peacefully, walking through the Capitol, escorted by the Capitol police.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson would have you believe that neither he nor Cheney and Kinzinger personally viewed the security footage, but some staff members did.
“In a stunning admission,” wrote Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist, “the chairman of the J6 committee now confesses he never analyzed any footage before running the made-for-TV show with Liz Cheney. Absolutely insane. Even worse than we thought.”
In the aftermath, Cheney lost her reelection in Wyoming, and Kinzinger wisely chose not to run again and is currently a political reporter for – wait for it – CNN.
Meanwhile, the man who Cheney vowed to keep out of the White House again, former President Trump, is expected to win the Republican presidential nomination.

Colorado 2nd District Court Judge Sarah Wallace issued a ruling ordering the state secretary to put former President Trump on the primary ballot.
After hearing testimony from witnesses as to whether Jan. 6 constituted an “insurrection” and whether Trump “engaged” in it, she ruled that it was and he did, however, she was not persuaded that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applied to the president of the United States.
In her 100-plus-page ruling, she explained that it was written to prevent officials who left to join the Confederacy from returning to office and meant to apply to the period following the Civil War.
Following the decision, Trump noted that “the American voter has Constitutional right to vote for the candidate of their choosing.”
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
