I’ve covered Washington for more than 50 years, including 11 years covering Congress specifically. I’ve never seen a committee all of whose members were chosen by one party, and where there is no cross-examination or any attempt to present both sides. https://t.co/7bjCm3O9Ez
Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn't get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incid...
There are Republicans on the commission. All of the witnesses so far have been Republicans. You can hardly say they aren't taking part. There are other possible witnesses - all Republicans - who refuse to take part. The wider Republican leadership rejects the inquiry because they deny that January 6 was an assault on the government. They have made it impossible to have a bi-partisan process because they have invested everything in Trump's lies. They are no longer a democratic (in the non-partisan sense) political party. They are a cult of the far right.

Nice try.
They are all Nevertrumpers, which makes them defacto Democrats. This is a one sided affair, where minds have already been made up.
It's not a court of law. The differences between a court of law and a congressional hearing, including the differences that would matter with respect to hearsay, are enormous. Demanding hearsay be excluded from a congressional hearing is as superfluous as demanding hearsay be excluded from a press conference or a message board thread. It's a trivial concern, a procedural impossibility and, as far as I know, has never been done in the 200+ year history of congressional hearings.
And if this is the first time Godwin's law has been invoked in this thread, someone is NOT being a good advocate for their cause. Yes, I'm referring to you, Disgo.
The J6 committee is promoting propaganda and hearsay. It's a complete joke and nobody cares- except for the leftist cult members like you.
There is no such thing as promoting hearsay. We don't have a Hearsay Matters or American Hearsay Keepers association or the like.
"Promoting propaganda" appears to a redundant phrase.
I'm more of a rightist cult member than a leftist one. Whoever told you I was a leftist cult member was introducing inaccurate hearsay. You statement that nobody cares is classic hearsay. If you continue with these evidentiary posting flaws, the moderators will have to install a Report Hearsay function for objectionable posts.

You really need to stop repeating the line about how nobody cares.
Interest in the hearings is now sky high. And it will keep building as we get to the conclusion.
Was there cross-examination in the Benghazi hearings?
A congressional hearing is not a court of law. It's just a hearing.
But I understand why a Trumper would be terrified when the truth comes out. So terrified, he turns to calling the committee a bunch of Nazis.
One sided with no cross examination, that's been the entire J6 circus. North Korea and Stalin would be proud. Terrified? I'm laughing everyday at you libiots.
Enjoy your losses this November.
You sound scared to me. You even posted about Nazis. That's quite a tell.

You obviously haven't paid attention to who has testified.
Are you saying Bill Barr is a never Trumper?
Is Ivanka a never Trumper?
Is Jared a never Trumper?
So many of the witnesses worked along side Trump in the West Wing. They are all never Trumpers?

Republicans had the option to hold a non-partisan investigation into 1/6, but they used the filibuster to kill it. The current investigation has mostly Republicans testifying. It's gotten to the point where you Trump deadenders call everyone who doesn't please the 5th a RINO.

Seriously?
Hello? I was referring to the committee members- it is a 100% partisan/one-sided clown show.
Yet Rs in the Senate blocked the formation of an independent, non-partisan committee. Why? The truth is they didn't want any kind of investigation because they were afraid of what would come out.
And it would have been a lot harder to discredit an independent body. With the current committee they don't need to consider the actual evidence. They can just dissmiss everything by claiming the members are all biased and it's all a witch hunt.
Cipollone will testify. There are no allegations that Trump threw food at Cipollone. None. Cipollone has agreed to testify under sworn oath to god.
This is a key development. Cipollone does not booze. Unlike Giuliani, he gave legal advice to President Trump while sober. Cipollone was dry, and cannot be impugned with alcohol. All his advice to Trump was sober advice. It needs to be determined whether Trump chose the drunken Giuliani advice or the sober Cipollone advice when he attacked the Limo driver. Trump does not drink.

You and every other blindly loyal Trump dope conveniently overlook that the Cheeto himself forbid his minions from joining the J6 commission. This is what happens when you blindly follow a crook.
All McCarthy had to do was spit out Cheetos discharge for a day or two in Jan 21 and add some non-RINO's (your dumbaZZ word) to the committee but it is always easier to play the victim for you turds these days.
