Election Stuff: J6 Kommittee Caught Lying Again.

At WaPoo, Fareed Zakaria  tries hard to excuse The puzzle of Joe Biden’s unpopularity. He fails. 220,00 dead, supporting an illegal alien invasion, 10% inflation and rampant crime. Let's go, Brandon! Fox, White House: Biden plans to run for reelection with Harris in 2024, "Harris had told the Wall Street Journal that she had not discussed the matter with Biden" Dumber and dumbest. Wait, we have a contender, AOC says it's 'delusional' to think Democrats will get reelected without liberal priorities like student debt, (Fox) "Blaming Sen. Joe Manchin won't advance the party's progressive policies, the New York Democrat says". 'Cancelling' (actually redistributing) student debt might be the dumbest possible policy.

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.17.21, Don Surber is amused that They Stole The Senate And Now They Say It Sucks. Well of course, it's not giving them what they think they deserve. Also John Hinderacker at  Power Line The Post Is Looking For A Hit Man

The Post is looking for revelations that will help to discredit the right.

This reporter will play a leading role in our coverage of the 2022 and 2024 elections, collaborating with colleagues across the Politics team as well as visual journalism teams such as Graphics, Photo and Video. This reporter will be expected to travel frequently and often on short notice.

Because you never know when or where an “insurrection” might break out.

We are still waiting for the Post to hire someone who will write “revelatory stories” about the Democratic Party and the left.

Pennsylvania Start, Largely Citizen-Drawn Congressional Map Passed by Pennsylvania House Committee and boy are Democrats pissed. "“I don’t see where the Democratic members of state government were brought into this process in any way,” State Rep. Maureen Madden (D-Stroudsburg) said." Don't worry, it won't pass.

At the Wa Free Bee, Andrew Stiles on What I Learned From Hillary Clinton’s Master Class on ‘The Power of Resilience’. That she's a malignant narcissistic grifter?

What, exactly, does Hillary Clinton care about? Well, since her humiliating loss to Donald Trump in 2016, she has chosen to put most of her energy into talking about herself. She wrote a memoir about why she lost (James Comey, Vladimir Putin, and sexism), took part in a Hulu documentary about her life, and coauthored a thriller based on her time as secretary of state, in which the protagonist uncovers a "vast right-wing conspiracy" plotting to set off nuclear bombs across the country because they "hate America's diversity."

The Master Class is yet another chapter in her endless quest to explain why people's opinions about her are wrong, and highlight the unique resilience of Hillary Clinton in the face of numerous obstacles, unfair challenges, and American voters who don't know what's best for them. "My entire life has been captured in job titles and sound bites and a seemingly endless parade of people with lots of opinions about what I should or shouldn't do, but not very much context," Hillary explains in the opening lesson, sounding more bitter than resilient.

'Jake' at State Farm CNN says CNN Exclusive: Jan 6 investigators believe Nov. 4 text pushing 'strategy' to undermine election came from Rick Perry. Note that CNN calls attempting to correct what you believe to be a stolen result as undermining.  Meanwhile, Dan Chaitin at WaEx reports that the demagogues on the Jan. 6 Kommittee were caught  misportraying another text message to Mark Meadows. At best, they seem extremely careless with the truth.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, incorrectly described on Tuesday a message to Meadows describing a strategy to overturn the results of the 2020 election as coming from a House lawmaker.

Anonymous sources told CNN that it was, as the news outlet put it, "an inadvertent error," and a "Raskin source said the congressman learned of the error this week from CNN and confirmed the mistake with staff."

Raskin wrote a letter to correct the Congressional Record, according to the report, which noted the Jan. 6 panel declined to comment on the actual author of the text.

Mark Tapscott at ET, Growing List of Federal Court Suits Could Force End of January 6 Riot Select Committee

Eastman claimed the subpoena to Verizon is invalid for the following reasons:

• “First, public statements by J6 Committee members make clear that the Committee is attempting to exercise a law enforcement function, rather than genuine legislative activity. The United States Congress has no power to issue subpoenas for law enforcement purposes.
• “Second, the subpoena was issued in violation of House Rules and the J6 Committee’s own authorizing resolution … the Committee’s lack of validly appointed minority members or a validly appointed “ranking minority member” makes such compliance impossible. A subpoena issued in violation of applicable House Rules is invalid.
• “Third, the subpoena violates the Fourth Amendment. Dr. Eastman has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the private cellphone information which the Committee now seeks to access without a search warrant.
• “Fourth, the subpoena violates the First Amendment. The subpoena seeks detailed information on Dr. Eastman’s protected First Amendment activity. Allowing a highly partisan congressional committee to invade the First Amendment activity of a political opponent would have a chilling effect on free speech.
• “Finally, the subpoena infringes attorney client privilege. In addition to his academic work, Dr. Eastman is engaged in the practice of law representing clients. The subpoena makes no provision for protecting attorney client privileged information.”

Eastman, who describes himself in the suit as “a political conservative who supported former President Donald Trump, which puts him at odds with the Committee’s highly partisan membership,” is a former Dean of the Chapman University Law School and professor of Constitutional Law, Legal History, and Property.

Separately, the select committee said it also subpoenaed Eastman for deposition because he “appeared to have been instrumental in advising President Trump that Vice President [Mike] Pence could determine which electors were recognized on January 6, a view that many of those who attacked the Capitol also shared.”

Now we're subpoenaing people before Congress because they agree with people on Jan. 6 on something? I'm waiting for mine.  

Fox, Florida man sentenced to more than 5 years in prison for role in Capitol riot.

60 is greater that 40 still, right? It's been a while since I did any hard math.
