Rep. Jim Banks, erstwhile purveyor of extreme right-win nonsense, scoffed at the Select Committee’s investigation for its failure to examine why security around the Capitol on January 6, 2021 was not better informed or prepared. He thinks that should have been the focus of the committee.
So now he reports the incoming Republican-controlled House of Representatives will launch its own investigation of January 6 with its only focus on the security issue, apparently not realizing that if then-President Donald Trump had not incited citizens to go to Washington, march to the Capitol, and “fight like hell” to steal the election a high level of security would not have been necessary.
True to his name, he is banking on the ignorance of his constituents, the GOP base, and the propogandists in the far-right media to not comprehend what triggered the need security in the first place. Thankfully the Select Committee rightly put the focus of its investigation on the most important questions of that day and have provided the rest of us the answers.
Another nothingburger to appeal to BlueAnon. “We’ve got him this time!” the AP asserts one day, then the WaPo provides updates the next day…even as we’ve learned that “democracy dies in darkness” is leaving more of its office space shrouded in the darkness of disuse (teleworking notwithstanding), as Pravda on the Potomac announces loses of 500K subscribers since Biden was installed and more layoffs. Bezos is indicating his growing fatigue for the sharpened ideological push of the neo-liberalism he previously embraced, so it’s not too likely he’ll keep bailing out his paper tiger. Save Pi and let the feline swim.
It’s increasingly obvious that Jan 6 was a Reichstag Fire. But it’s the one day where the left cares that police officers were assaulted.
Lauren, you minimize the historic significance of the “Reichstag Fire” on February 27, 1933 in Berlin. When a sizeable portion of Germany’s parliamentary building went up in flames from an arson attack that day, Adolf Hitler played upon public and political fears to consolidate power. That event set the stage for the rise of Nazi Germany. Trump didn’t set a fire to our Capitol on January 6, 2021, but he most certainly enflamed the crazed passions of his followers to storm it with the singular goal of preventing Biden (the legitimate winner of both the popular vote and the electoral college vote) from taking office. You need to quit being an apologist for Trump, the MAGA cult, and right-wing extremism, and recognize the significance of January 6th.
I have no problem with the committee investigating Trumps role in the
Jan. 6th rioting. No problem at all.
But I also have the following questions that need to be investigated. Such as —
-Why security was not beefed up needs to be investigated.
You can’t tell me that the FBI didn’t have several informants in each of the
groups that attacked the police and rioted. They did!!
Second, why reinforcements from surrounding agencies were not brought in earlier also needs to be investigated.
I realize that this whole episode is a lesson learned. But there also needs
to be additional accountability.
