Is the Jan 6 Committee a “show trial”?


Yes, we republicans knew it was going to be a show trail Kevin McCarthy originally picked
Jim Banks
Rodney Davis
Jim Jordan
Kelly Armstrong
Troy Nehls
Nancy Pelosi refused to put them on the commission so the only republicans we have are Liz Cheney of Wyoming who is pretty much democratic light she also hates trump so of course she’s going to agree with the democrats hence why she’s getting this “strange new respect form the media”. Because she agrees with that the media and the democrats party say about trump
The other one is Adam Kinzinger again a trump hating Republican who isn’t running for re-election so he doesn’t really care what his constituents want and is a squish democrats light republicans.
So yes it’s a shame trail there doing this for political reasons Liz Cheney come the end of 2022 will probably be loosing her seat. If she was running for senators of Wyoming she would definitely loose but her county seems to like her but I predict she will be out by the end of 2022
If you mean political theatre, then yes. It presents only 1 side of the story, using edited footage and interviews. In case people aren't aware, THEY tried to remove livestream footage of the events as much as possible from Youtube and other sites before doing this to ensure that people will see and hear only what they want them to. How can that be anything other than theatre?
The only "Republicans" that they hand-picked for their committee were a couple that agreed with them. How can anyone call that an independent committee and not die laughing?
Anyone else notice they completely cut out the part where the cops opened the barricade and waved the people through? lmao. If you need any evidence of how biased this charade will be, there's no need to look any further than that.
They've also misrepresented the deaths of the officers already and "forgot" to mention that a couple of them "suicided" themselves after this. Hmm, yeah not suspicious at all.
Given the global interest in the case I think they'll want to make it a fair trial, it's as much about regaining Americas international reputation as it is holding trump to account
It's not about pro - Trump or anything. It's bullshit either way. The whole thing was a set up.

If you watched Tucker Carlson you would have seen him asking questions about why Nancy Pelosi did nothing to beef up security even though she got reports 4 days prior that there were extremist group that were coming to DC. He wants to know what was Ernie Epps doing trying to incite a riot. Also why did the capitol police open the doors of the capitol and just let the demonstrators in. Why was no real investigation done on the death of Ashlee Babbit? Why won't the government release the hundreds of hours of video of the inside of the capitol? And finally, how does putting your feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk an attack on Democracy?
The WH isn't responsible for security for the Capitol. The speaker and Sargeant at arms are. Trump actually suggested the get extra security and they did nothing. This will all come out next year when the Republicans bore us to death with their hearings.
Come on, of course it's legit. There's a transcript here, if people don't want to spend hours, although the video is informative.

Fox didn't just not show the hearing, they didn't have any commercial breaks, so that their viewers wouldn't be tempted to see a few seconds of truth. Wait. I'm talking about the US, here. Isn't it usually 30 minutes of adverts per hour? I remember a teletext (it was around 2000) page explainging how the late show (or whatever) was only 1 hour in Europe instead of 2 in the US because they'd cut a couple of minutes and shown the most adverts they legally could.
Fox News isn't a real news channel. It is nothing but pure right wing propaganda.
@Juxtapose its not.
there are NO republicans on the committee, it's all a Big Political Show, if they wanted to find TRUTH, it would be a Joint investigation, but they only want to tell 1/2 of the story, Not the truth... whatever that is... I don't trust any politician, and especially ones that "Stack the Deck"
It's no different from the 9/11 commission.
You get people and news outlets who didn't agree with that either.
Trump followers are just as afflicted with Alzheimer's as he personally is LMFAO
Listen to trial it's just a hearing. Whether they say it's Trump's fault or not makes absolutely no difference from a legal standpoint that I can ascertain. However, I'm not a lawyer, so maybe it does make a difference I'm not sure.
It's a propaganda exhibition. To try to prevent Trump from and 2024. I don't think Trump is going to run anyway.
Lol you all made up your mind about Trump years ago lol. You and I both know there is not a goddamn thing anyone could say or do to make you not think he’s worse than Hitler.
Congress would have hearings for a fly if they vote for the party that isn't in the majority. Wait until after midterms, you fucks are gonna have a mental breakdown when just the opposite happens.
Stalin would have been proud of the Marxists’ propaganda
Not because they want to but because big money is at play through sponsors and advertisement.
Trump or Republicans party supporters don't want to watch it therefore Fox doesn't cover it.
Yes, definitely a show trial. Not saying anything that hasn't been said before. Simply trying to disgrace Trump so he won't run in 2024.
I’m not the propaganda fan that you are, so I’ve missed the production.
Just about everything that Congress does is for show.
No they doing not the rules of the House they are making it up and let them come mid terms is payback time
