The January 6th Committee Drops Another ‘Major Revelation’ About Donald Trump – Opinion

Another claim has been leaked by the January 6th Committee. It is intended to give the impression that Donald Trump’s walls are being closed in. According to Liz Cheney and her cohorts, they have found “gaps” in the former president’s communications.

That was revealed by a report in The New York Times, the committee’s favorite newspaper to feed narratives to. The Hill has a simplified version of the supposed findings.

The New York Times reports on how House select committee investigators found gaps in White House phone records that were used on January 6, 2021 to investigate the Capitol attack.

The logs of former callers were not found by investigators. Donald TrumpHe was often on the telephone for several hours during that time.

That sounds pretty damning. In an attempt to hinder the great work of January 6, committee, Trump clearly destroyed all records and deleted his phone.

Yeah, well except there’s absolutely nothing nefarious behind any of this.

The Times reported that there is no evidence to suggest that any official logs have been altered or deleted. Trump used both his personal and those of his aides often for calls.

In other words, the call logs were not tampered with and this entire leak is yet another manufactured piece of “evidence” meant to bolster a committee that is, in reality, an absolute joke. Every “bombshell” that is dropped turns out to be a massive dud. Evidently, there is evidence that there has been a massive conspiracy.

Yet, the point here isn’t to actually prove the case that Trump somehow orchestrated and aided those who entered the Capitol Building on January 6th. Rather, the January 6th committee is another Robert Mueller play, dragging out a pointless investigation while leaking out of context information to make it seem as if something happened that didn’t. In short, it’s a PR stunt meant to interfere with the election in November, not actually find out anything worthwhile.

If the committee actually cared about preventing another breach as they claim, they’d be investigating the failures of the Capitol Police who opened the doors to the building. They won’t do that, though, because it would mean the investigation going in a direction that wouldn’t be politically beneficial.

Lastly, let’s note that these phone records came after the Supreme Court ruled against Trump and allowed them to be handed over. Was there anything they have produced? They produced nothing of any value. What that shows is that Trump trying to block the committee from getting records isn’t because he’s actually hiding something, but because he doesn’t want to give credence to a bunch of hacks.

Trump’s persistent pursuit is a futile attempt to stop him running for the presidency in 2024. It’s all politics and the January 6th Committee is a charade that no one should take seriously. Those who breached the Capitol Building have been harshly punished in ways other rioters weren’t. The idea that there’s something new and game-changing to discover is a farce and everyone, including Liz Cheney, knows it.
