First, from the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.30.21 at The Other McCain, The Geller Report cites Ron Paul on why the Kangaroo Court – The 1/6 Hearings Threaten All Of Us. David Marcus at NYPo reports Support for Jan. 6 Capitol riot probe slips after cops’ emotional testimony: poll. Grown men crying turns people off. PM reminds us Two-thirds of voters want Congress to investigate the 2020 riots, but it's not gonna happen under Democrats. And David Harsanyi reiterates, Jan. 6 Was Deplorable. It Was Not a Coup. The use of the word "insurrection" in the special committee name is polemics.
It would be one thing if the commission were principally concerned with figuring out how protesters breached security. But the central purpose of the commission -- whether Republicans cooperate or not -- is to create the impression that the GOP is in the midst of attempting to overturning "democracy." They want to use Jan. 6 to push their unconstitutional efforts to nationalize elections. And they definitely want to use it to make Trump the central topic of the 2022 midterms.
Also from the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.30.21 Julie Kelly was there when Ashli Babbitt’s Mom Speaks
“She didn’t have to be killed, there were other options,” Witthoeft said of her 110-pound, 5-foot-2 daughter. (Babbitt was unarmed.) “Then they dragged her out like an animal, cleaned up the mess, and went about their business.”
A few weeks after Ashli was killed, Witthoeft said she finally took her head off her pillow and started making calls. A staffer for Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) office at first hung up on her, insisting he didn’t know who Ashli Babbitt was. Witthoeft called again; the same staffer answered. She asked to speak with her senator for two minutes. “Ma’am, I am sorry for your unfortunate situation but if your daughter hadn’t stormed the Capitol, she wouldn’t have been shot,” Witthoeft said the staffer told her. “Dianne Feinstein will never have two minutes for you.”
Matt Mayer at Da Fed has a Report that Reveals Shocking Double Standards For Bringing U.S. Rioters To Justice "The sheer similarities and differences between the treatment of the 2020 rioters compared to the treatment of the January 6 riot rioters are shocking." And another from Julie Kelly (who has been a pit bull with this bone), ‘Unprecedented, Unreasonable, Unconstitutional, and Wrong’ "The Justice Department won’t have January 6 evidence ready until 2022 " by which time many of the protesters will have been in jail longer than any sentences they could serve on the misdemeanors for which they will likely be charged.
[Judge]McFadden scolded the government for its backwards process. “You would not arrest [someone] then gather evidence later. That’s not how this works.” When Fifield said full discovery is in the best interest of the defendant, McFadden shot back: “Freedom also is important to the defendant.” The Trump-appointed judge raised concerns over Sixth Amendment violations. “This does not feel what the Constitution [and] the Speedy Trial Act envisions.”
Also at Am Great Nice Deb reminds us Republican Lawmakers Barred From Entering D.C. Jail to Visit Jan. 6 Political Prisoners. What are they hiding?
Paul Bedard at Wa Ex, Cheney in trouble: 77% GOP would not reelect, 53% call her ‘liberal’. That last may not be true, but she is certainly carrying their water. Spencer Linquist at Da Fed hears that the House Freedom Caucus Calls For Kicking Cheney, Kinzinger Out Of GOP Conference.
Adam Mill at Am Great fills in how the FBI Relies on Monster to Prosecute Michigan Kidnapping Plot
Trask is the man the FBI made the public face of the Michigan kidnapping plot that played a role in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Last fall, Trask helped gin up the anti-Trump publicity surrounding the Michigan kidnapping plot. He claimed the FBI “thwarted” a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer—a plot we now know the FBI itself hatched. One text message released inadvertently to the defense shows the FBI agent who was overseeing the plot (likely Trask) directed his confidential informants to solicit specific people, those targeted by Trask, so he could entice these targets into committing arrestable crimes.
In audit fever, Cronkite News (Arizona PBS) whines. No end in sight for Maricopa election audit, or for feuding over it, at Wa Ex, Arizona Senate liaison granted 'full access' to Maricopa audit. John Solomon at JTN reports Wisconsin Assembly Speaker names special counsel to expand probe of 2020 election, "Retired Supreme Court Justice will have resources and authority to conduct a "top to bottom" probe".
Final certified results declared Joe Biden defeated President Trump by about 20,600 votes, but since then Wisconsin's Supreme Court ruled tens of thousands of absentee ballots may not have been lawfully cast because state officials improperly exempted the voters from ID requirements.
Dan Payne at JTN, Cybersecurity? Democratic election officials claim that audited machines must be retired. "Routers, election machines allegedly can't be verified as secure following third-party audits." Apparently Dominion and Democratic officials are afraid that someone besides themselves know the cheat codes.

Dave in Fla at Aces hears Historical Echoes. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.
The election of 1824 represented the end of the Era of Good Feelings, and the rise of the party system in Presidential elections. After the war of 1812, the Federalist Party had collapsed, and in its wake twelve years of political unity was expressed by all candidates being members of the Democratic-Republican Party. This period came to a sudden end due to the contested election of 1824.
Four candidates were running for President: Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. When the election was over, Andrew Jackson had won 41% of the popular vote, and 99 electoral votes, while Adams had 31% of the popular vote and 84 electoral votes. Despite having won a plurality, Jackson lost the election in the US House of Representatives. During the contingent election, Henry Clay used his influence to have delegates ignore the instructions of their states, and vote for Adams instead. Andrew Jackson is the only candidate ever to have won a plurality of the electoral college, but lose the election. When Clay was offered the Secretary of State position, Jackson and his supporters were incensed, believing that Clay had been offered the position in exchange for his influence.
Many of you learned about this election in your history classes. What you may not be aware of is the positions of Andrew Jackson and the platform he ran on. While he was an immensely popular figure after his military success in Florida and at the Battle of New Orleans, he was also a populist and champion of the working class. His major driving issue was the elimination of growing corruption in the Federal Government. He was a vocal opponent of the Second Bank of the United States, believing that the institution existed solely to enrich the elites of the country. The economic crises of 1819 and 1820 broadly harmed the working class, a voting block that strongly supported Jackson nationwide during the election. . . .
At HE Armando Simon warns Make No Mistake. You Are Living Under the Perfect Censorship, "We who have lived in communist countries recognize the signs: American freedom of speech and thought are hanging on by a thread. At Power Line, John Hineracker considers Censorship Is Here. What to Do About It?
Our freedoms are under threat as they have not been in a very long time. The question is, what to do about it. Private action is appropriate; we should support non-leftist alternatives to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, for example. But that is not going to be good enough. The major platforms may be natural monopolies on account of network effects, and I don’t know how individual action can create alternatives to Amazon’s web hosting dominance or the Apple-Google duopoly.
