Election Post with Eyes Wide Open

 A late start thanks to an AM visit to the eye Dr. No particular new issues, but they keep getting a little worse. And doing this with dilated eyes is painful

At the Neon Nettle, Ted Cruz Demands Answers as FBI Refuses to Say If It Participated in Jan 6 Riot. At the Right Scoop, “Who is Ray Epps?” – Ted Cruz to FBI official in Senate hearing. At Da Wire, Journalist Glenn Greenwald Asks Four Questions About Jan. 6 And The FBI, Gleen Grenwald@ggreenwald

Leave the bizarre Ray Epps case to the side for a moment: -- How many FBI informants or agents helped plan 1/6? -- How many FBI informants or agents were present at 1/6? -- How many FBI informants or agents were implanted in the 3 key groups? Why don't we know the answers?

At PM, WATCH: Tucker Carlson slams Adam Kinzinger for appearing to withhold information about Ray Epps, "There is nothing normal about this. There is no rational explanation for this," Carlson said. "Adam Kinzinger is lying. Kinzinger is withholding critical information from the public." Ray Epps is on film encouraging people to break into the Capitol, and conferring with the person who removed barriers. Yet the FBI evinces no interest in him, and Adam Kinzinger holds him innocent. Twitchy, Thomas Massie and Mollie Hemingway respond to Adam Kinzinger’s thread on Ray Epps, Mollie@MZHemingway

Replying to, @RepThomasMassie, @January6thCmte and @RepKinzinger
Kinzinger: Trump asking supporters to "peacefully and patriotically" make voices heard makes him responsible for a riot. But dude saying "I probably shouldn't say this because I'll probably get arrested" when telling same protesters to invade capitol, gets you thanked? Weird.

Via Insty,  Julie Kelly@julie_kelly2 "LOL they sure went from “everyone involved in January 6 is a terrorist” to LEAVE RAY EPPS ALONE. This is hysterical" and Little Marco, "Sen. @marcorubio: "I don't care how many candlelight vigils and musical performances you have from the cast of Hamilton, you're not going to convince most normal and sane people that our government last year was almost overthrown by a guy wearing a Viking hat and speedos." And bad news for the Jan. 6ers from Twitchy, January 6 ‘didn’t immediately mean anything’ to focus group of moderate voters. Failed Never-Trump Republican candidate Michael Wood at WSJ, cited at Haut Hair presumes to tell How should Republicans talk about January 6

NYPo, Jan. 6 select committee calls for Kevin McCarthy to meet with panel. Anxious is anxious that Kevin McCarthy declines interview with Jan. 6 select committee, "As a representative and the leader of the minority party, it is with neither regret nor satisfaction that I have concluded to not participate with this select committee’s abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward," McCarthy said in a statement." Breitbart, McCarthy: ‘I Have Concluded to Not Participate’ with Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee. His response should be GFYS.

It's just a right-wing conspiracy theory. BTW, Kevin Clinesmith is practicing law again and Andy McCabe has his pension back."

At NYPO, John Podhoretz notes that Biden’s hypocritical, demagogic speech compares Manchin, Sinema to Jefferson Davis, as well as the rest of us. That got the Murder Turtles hackles up, at Town Hall, Cutie Pavlich reports McConnell Holds Nothing Back in Scorched Earth Rebuttal to Biden, AllahPundit at Haut Hair whines that McConnell: I didn't recognize the nasty, demagogic, unpresidential Joe Biden who gave that speech yesterday.

Miranda Devine on the Biden speech, A taste of Southern lied in Georgia y’all. 'Bonchie' at Red State, After Joe Biden's Disgusting Speech, the White House Becomes More Vindictive and Detached. Althouse, "You could not invent a better advertisement for the legislative filibuster than what we’re just seeing, a president abandoning rational persuasion for pure, pure demagoguery." ""A president shouting that 52 senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants is proving exactly why the framers built the Senate to check his power." and "You could not invent a better advertisement for the legislative filibuster than what we’re just seeing, a president abandoning rational persuasion for pure, pure demagoguery." "A president shouting that 52 senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants is proving exactly why the framers built the Senate to check his power."

At Tablet, It’s Coups All the Way Down, "Nonstop dramatics about the GOP threat to democracy is part of an attempt to cement Democratic Party hegemony, not ensure election integrity." KT at Haut Hair, "A close call": Office of Special Counsel cleared Fauci of violating Hatch Act just days before 2020 election. Time for Fauci to go. 

Ace, Quinnipiac Poll: Biden Crashes All the Way Through The Floor, Hits Lows Not Thought Possible-- 33% Support, "Because 38% of the country is lockstep straight-ticket Democrat, one would think that 38% or so would be the absolute rock-bottom level of support for a Democrat president."
