Trump wants Supreme Court to read Washington Post interview with Bennie Thompson
As the Supreme Court considers whether to take up former President Donald Trump's January 6 White House records case, Trump's attorney submitted to the court a new filing Wednesday making the court aware of a Washington Post interview with Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the House select committee seeking the records.
In the interview, the Mississippi Democrat said that the committee's investigation into Trump's delay in calling for his supporters to end their rioting at the US Capitol could lead to a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Rep. Liz Cheney hits back at Trump over Jan. 6 committee demands for White House records
Quote:
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is punching back hard at former President Trump as the dispute with the Jan. 6 committee over White House records heats up at the Supreme Court.
The Republican rebel fact-checked Trump’s claim that the committee was backing down from its push to obtain the potentially incriminating trove of files, which might include videos he made as his extremist supporters stormed the Capitol.
RE the failed & disgraced former POTUS: I've never seen anyone who claims he is innocent work so hard to block evidence that would presumably prove he is indeed innocent.
Jan. 6 Committee Will Hold Public Hearings Soon and Hopes to Wrap Investigation Before Midterm Elections
The House Select Committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will reportedly enter a new, more public phase in 2022.
As the bipartisan group of lawmakers — there are four Democrats and two Republicans on the committee — prepares an interim report on their findings by the summer, they will hold public hearings to tell the story of the insurrection from beginning to end, according to the Washington Post.
That wasn't an insurrection, and everyone knows it. The public will never hear the real story because the Democrats want to hide the truth and a make a mountain out of a molehill going into the midterms.
The Dems are desperate at this point. They know that with demented mindless Biden they've turned the country against them and are going to get the asses handed to them in November. They will do anything to take the heat off, including a false narrative about January 6th.
Only the naive liberals and media will fall for the BS the Dems are peddling.

It remains astonishing, to me, that there are still myriad American citizens, numerous leaders of one of our major political parties, and members of Congress who resist a thorough examination of the events of January 6. We see this shocking sentiment everyday on this forum, just like in the above post.
We the people need to know what happened, how and why it happened and, not incidentally, what the loser of the election and those close to him did to incite it. A seditious, prepared, and organized mob used brownshirt-style violence to try to prevent the United States Congress from certifying the results of a free and fair election. Over the course of nearly four hours, our Capitol Police and the D.C Police were engaged in a battle, at times fighting for their lives amid threats of death, racial slurs, insults and accusations that they, not the attackers, were traitors to democracy.
There is ample video and audio footage of that day's horrors and of the stated motivation of those who carried out the attack on the United States of America. And yes, it was an attack. The storming of our Capitol, that day, was in fact an attack on democracy...a defeated president sought to disrupt the constitutionally mandated tallying of the electoral vote and the final ratification of President Biden’s victory. The attack followed months of false accusations by Trump ---which continue today--- that the election had been rigged or stolen or fraudulent. We all know there is no evidence of this. Absolutely none. Currently we are even hearing from members of Trump's inner circle that they know The Big Lie is a lie. Some are even writing books and giving interviews and bragging about their role in the plots and plans and inside machinations to interrupt the legally mandated January 6th Joint Session of Congress that precedes our valued peaceful transfer of power. This is all wrong and we Americans need to air this and comprehend this and shame it.
Why are so many citizens who boisterously brag about their patriotism and phonily lay claim to being the party of law and order ignore what happened, or worse, try to muddy the truth with falsehoods of what we all witnessed and what under testimony is being recounted?
Why don’t they want to know more? Why do they want to forget history? Why do they want to bury this in a fray of partisanship, mendacious what-aboutisms and bald faced lies to make it about the bipartisan committee members--- who are actually defending the country and our very democracy--- and not about those who attacked America and tried to put her asunder? We the people, all of us, no matter what side of the political aisle we reside, deserve accounting and accountability...we need to prevent this from ever happening again. We need this bipartisan Select Committee to preserve this Constitutional Republic and democracy itself by getting to the bottom of that sad, shocking and horrifying January 6th.

Trump is trying to block them because it is all a big joke. We all know it is a witch hunt, a dog and pony show, a flea circus, put on by the Dems to make themselves look good and Trump look bad.
We have the transcript from his speech that day and typical of the Dems they are reading between the lines, putting words in his mouth and trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
It is beyond ridiculous just like the feigned outrage that were his "impeachments".
I'm glad Trump is not rolling over for this nonsense.

Having two RINO republicans on the witch hunt committee does not make it bipartisan. You fail to recognize or acknowledge what Nancy Pelosi and her democrat cronies did to Trump for four years with blatant disrespect of him from day one and trying to overthrow a duly elected president with fake investigations and impeachments. They directly contributed to what happened on 1/6 when the pressure cooker finally exploded and the American people know this which is why the democrats are only hurting themselves with this kangaroo committee investigation. There was no insurrection.

The problem is that there WILL NOT be an honest evaluation of what happened. Nobody is denying that it happened or that there should be accountability.
Maybe you can get off your high horse and stop believing every piece of BS Nancy Pelosi shoves down your throat. I don't believe that hag would ever for one second give you an accurate assessment.
Just like the Steele Dossier that the Dems peddled for four years that turned out to be bogus, this so-called "examination" will turn into a witch hunt against Trump. There is no liberal or MSM outlet that would ever see it any other way.
If you think that Pelosi or her hit squad would ever implicate anyone that might involve someone other than Trump, than you are not interested in hearing the truth.
The real story might be out there somewhere, but you're not going to hear it from Pelosi or the Democrats.

Agreed. This isn't about accountability. It's about sending a message and intimidating into compliance. If they truly wanted the circumstances and honest facts to come to light then they wouldn't be conveniently relegating scrutiny to just Trump and the protesters. The questions that need to be asked yet won't be have to do with things like who had control of the capitol police that day, why was security seen ushering in the protesters, who hired the provocateurs like John Sullivan/Ray Epps/Jade Sacker (still waiting for their 5 year prison sentence) to incite the crowd, why was Trump denied the National Guard detail, and other such things.
