Election 2020: The "Truth" is Out There

The media push is on for the Jan. 6 "Truth" Commission, which, being a Democrat congressional effort, will be about anything but the truth. WaPoo whines Sicknick’s family and the police officers who protected lawmakers Jan. 6 plead with GOP senators to back investigation. Sicknick did pretty good out of this, by getting a state funeral, lying in the Rotunda, out of an ordinary stroke.  Are they going to take that back, when the "Truth" officially shows his death was unrelated? CNN reports Romney says Republicans blocking January 6 commission 'would be seen as not wanting to let the truth come out' . Truth or "Truth?" At PM, Senator Collins signals she's in favor of January 6th bill but demands changes. WapPoo is counting, Where Republican senators stand on voting for a Jan. 6 commission, 3 support, 9 still considering, 28 oppose, and 10 won't answer the Poo. According to AllahPundit at Hot Hair, CNN reports McConnell asking GOP senators to tank the January 6 commission as a "personal favor" but he's not sure he believes them. But I hope so. At least McConnel is clear eyed about what the Democrats are trying to do.

Either way, =Politico is reporting that he’s now locked down the votes he needs to guarantee that the commission is filibustered. Red-state Dem Jon Tester is irate. “We’ve got to get to the bottom of this sh*t,” he told Politico. “Jesus. It’s a nonpartisan investigation of what happened. And if it’s because they’re afraid of Trump then they need to get out of office. It’s bullsh*t. You make tough decisions in this office or you shouldn’t be here.” Even so, Manchin reiterated again today that he won’t nuke the filibuster to get the commission through . . .

WaPoo whines Trump, Giuliani, Oath Keepers ask judge to dismiss Capitol riot lawsuit. How dare they resist our lawfare!

If “the right of the people to exercise their right to peaceably assemble for the purpose of petitioning Congress for redress of grievances should be subject to a conspiracy law,” there will be “nothing left” of the constitutional right to petition at all, Oath Keepers attorney Kerry Lee Morgan of Michigan wrote in a 44-page filing.

The move has been widely seen as a rebuke to Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who has been vocally critical of the continuing audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election results. Last week Hobbs suggested that hundreds of machines that had been handled by auditors should be decommissioned, with Hobbs intimating that taxpayers may end up footing the bill for that decision.
