Pelosi’s Jan. 6 narrative collapsing, Democrats deaf to voters and other commentary:
Jan. 6 was not “an insurrection,” but “a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed,” argues Jonathan Turley at The Hill.
Nancy Pelosi’s “House Select Committee to investigate Jan. 6” pushed the narrative that it “ was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters,” but “fostered false accounts” and dismissed evidence that “confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest.”
Now a new report “shows that it was the Defense Department that delayed the eventual deployment of National Guard in the critical hours of the riot.”
“None of this means that Trump” is “without fault in this matter,” but “these reports only further highlight what we still do not know about that day.” --->READ MORE HERE
Judge dismisses Jan. 6 case against Trump as prez-elect calls prosecution ‘political hijacking’: ‘Low point in the History of our Country’:
A judge Monday dismissed the charges against Donald Trump related to the Jan. 6 riots after Special Counsel Jack Smith threw in the towel — with the president-elect bashing the case as solely “political hijacking.”
Presiding US District Judge Tanya Chutkan ​of Washington, DC, granted​ Smith’s motion filed ​earlier Monday seeking to dismiss the charges​ based on Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election and​ the precedent against indicting a sitting US president​.
Smith​’s team ​also separately moved ​Monday to end its appeal of a Florida judge’s decision nixing Smith’s classified document case against Trump — once considered one of the strongest in a slew of legal indictments against the Republican.
“These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,” Trump vented on Truth Social on Monday afternoon.
“Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before.”
Trump added that he had “persevered, against all odds, and WON” against the “political hijacking,” which he decried as a “low point in the History of our Country.”
Chutkan noted ​in her swift decision that “​when a prosecutor moves to dismiss an indictment without prejudice, ‘there is a strong presumption in favor’ of that course.”
Smith​’s team​, in moving to dismiss the charges it brought against Trump​ for alleged 2020 election subversion efforts Jan. 6, 2020​, wrote in court papers Monday, “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President​.
“The Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” the document said. “This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant.” --->READ MORE HERE
