Careful asking that question... you may stumble onto something.

If you read the Poltifact article you will see that it does not exactly agree with your hypothesis.

This is about what happened. We don't need this to happen again.

If it were a Trump trial there would be no need.

Administration members who hope to either stay in office or get back into office in the future are not going to go against an administration and its counterparts lest they want to end their career now. The almighty dollar and a tinge of power will create turncoats in an instance.

The under oath part no longer matters here and shouldn't even be brought up as a relevant argument. That should be clear to everyone, including you. It's well documented that the left (and some on the right) will lie to the public's face (or make stories vanish into thin air) to get their way.

Your narrative is that the witnesses from Trump's administration have tailored their testimony to please the committee so they can "stay in office or get back into office in the future", and they won't "go against an administration and its counterparts lest they want to end their career now."

The problem with this is that you are accusing them of lying, yet providing no evidence whatsoever. Just speculating. Gotcha.

Which ones testified Trump told his supporters to go and trespass at the Capitol?

And that is in the context of the Democrats carefully selecting and questioning their own witnesses.

Gotcha!

Any evidence to support your allegation?

The House sergeant at arms reports to Pelosi. Among asking others, Sund had asked Irving, who had answered to Pelosi, a number of times for the NG and Irving denied his requests. The Capitol building is under the Speaker of the House, and Pelosi does have a say in the security of the building.

Do you think a riot or a suspected threat of a riot at the Capitol building is so commonplace that it happens on a daily (day-to-day) basis?

https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...responsibilit/
Oooh! MAGA is using Politifact as a credible source? NOTED!

From your link:

A widely shared Facebook post claimed that only Pelosi is "responsible for what happened at the Capitol" on Jan. 6, "security at the Capitol is her job."

Responsibility for Capitol security is shared, it is not solely the responsibility of the Speaker.

Security is provided by the sergeant-at-arms of the House, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate and the Capitol Police. The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the House speaker, Pelosi. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader, then McConnell. The Capitol Police is overseen by a four-member board that includes both sergeants-at-arms.

News reports indicate that before the attack, the House sergeant-at-arms resisted calls from the Capitol Police to bring in the National Guard for extra security at the Capitol because of "optics," but he said intelligence reports didn’t warrant the extra security.

The chain of command for Capitol security does include Pelosi, but it does not fall solely to her as this post claims. Others in the chain of command include the Senate majority leader and the Capitol police chief. We rate the claim Mostly False.



From AP:

The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.

The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard.

The one-sided hearings have been remarkably silent concerning the only gunshot that day.

Hint, it was not fired by the unarmed protestors.

Maybe they’ll be covered as part of the testimony regarding security failures.

Which will be never.

It ain’t called a one-sided (and meaningless) theatrical production for nothing.
