Democrats Admit the Real Reason for the Sham January 6th Committee – Opinion

Americans may be concerned about paying $5 per gallon for gasoline, and how inflation is impacting savings. Democrats however have a single focus: January 6th.

The now 17-month-old event continues to stoke the imaginations of journalists and leftwing partisans everywhere, not because they truly believe the threat to the country was real (a few hundred rioters weren’t overthrowing the government), but because they have nothing else to run on going into November’s mid-terms. Their Hail Mary is January 6. It’s all they’ve got left, and without it, Joe Biden’s disasters domestically and internationally stand alone in the consciousness of the American people.

The New York Times actually penned a piece admitting as much, noting that the committee is hoping to “recast” the mid-term election.

Of course, a normal person would be asking exactly what “role in the attack” the Times is asserting Republicans held. Even if one buys into the nonsense that Donald Trump was somehow coordinating and in control of those who entered the Capitol, that does not constitute “Republicans” in terms of the mid-terms, which is the framing given. That is Donald Trump.

As has been proven many times, Trump did not know what would happen or how to plan for it. The committee is attempting to convince people it has linked dots even though they are five points apart. For example, their chief bit of “evidence” appears to be an internal memo floated by Trump surrogates debating what would be legal to do in regards to the certification of the election.

However, objecting to an election being certified is legal and does not constitute a plot to overthrow government. Which is the best way to find out? Rep. Jamie Raskin was a member on the January 6th committee and objected to certification of the 2016 elections.

It is made up of hypocrites and does not seek to discover any important truth. Its existence is not about politics, but delivering Democrats what they want regarding elections. Raskin acknowledged this Monday, as he lobbied for the abolition of the Electoral College.

That’s the quiet part being said out loud, providing the best evidence yet that the January 6th committee is a partisan sham. Not only is the committee looking to get rid of the Electoral College, but its members are also trying to use its “findings” to bolster the case for the federalization of elections, a Democrat goal that failed to garner even 50 votes in the Senate earlier in Biden’s tenure. Their view of the establishment of universal mail in balloting and the abolition voting-ID as delivering a permanent Democrat major is that they are able to achieve this goal.

That is what this is really all about, and while it may be a cynical effort, I’m also convinced it’s one that won’t work. No matter how much the press tells them they should, the American people just don’t care about January 6th. They’ve got real problems to deal with, and indulging the pampered fantasies of the Washington class isn’t a priority.
