Quote:The Jan. 6 Committee is abusing its power by asking inappropriate questions about their fellow Americans’ beliefs and associates, and publicly portraying witnesses who exercise their Fifth Amendment rights as guilty — all to put on a show trial.

Later on Tuesday, the Jan. 6 Committee will hold yet another public hearing, this one purportedly to focus “on the role of extremists” in the attack on the Capitol. While the precise script for the afternoon’s proceedings remains unknown, last week Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin previewed the committee’s plans, telling The New York Times that when public hearings resumed in July, “he intends to lead a presentation that will focus on the roles far-right groups like the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and 1st Amendment Praetorian played in the Capitol attack.” According to the Times, “Mr. Raskin has also promised to explore the connections between those groups and the people in Mr. Trump’s orbit.”

Quote:An attorney for 1st Amendment Praetorian, or 1AP, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting free speech, spoke exclusively with The Federalist about the committee’s questioning of 1AP, the group’s founder, and another member of the nonprofit, all of whom she represents. From the framing of the questions posed to her clients, Leslie McAdoo Gordon was left with the firm impression that the Jan. 6 Committee merely wanted video capturing her clients declining to answer the questions for the purpose of impugning their character during the televised hearings.

Quote:Given that the committee had broadcast video of Michael Flynn asserting his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in an earlier hearing, McAdoo Gordon said she wouldn’t be surprised if Tuesday’s hearings include clips of her clients refusing to answer the committee’s questions.

In fact, she said as much to the committee in a letter last week. After calling the lawmakers out for implying to the public that Flynn was guilty of some crime because he asserted his Fifth Amendment rights, McAdoo Gordon wrote that implying guilt based on a witness asserting his rights, “is a McCarthy-esque tactic that offends the Constitution and is unworthy of the United States Congress.” The attorney added that she is “forced to anticipate that the Committee will use the same totalitarian tactic to improperly smear 1AP.”

Quote:“What 1AP did, or more accurately put, didn’t do, on Jan. 6 was relevant to the committee’s investigation into the riot and the violence at the Capitol, and I was working to arrange for my clients to voluntarily provide the committee with that information,” McAdoo Gordon said. Likewise, the committee had questions about a couple tweets my clients sent on the sixth, and again, such questions were relevant to the Jan. 6 investigation. “

“But once the committee advanced the absurd Section 371 criminal conspiracy theory, I could no longer recommend my clients speak with the committee,” the attorney explained. McAdoo Gordon did respond to the committee on behalf of her clients, however, after Raskin “falsely described 1AP as a ‘far right’ group with a ‘role’ in the ‘Capitol attack’” in his interview with the Times. “All of those points are false and defamatory,” she told the committee. “1AP is a mainstream, non-partisan group with no role whatsoever in the attack on the Capitol.”

The whole thing is a sham, but everyone already knows that.

Well those who are paying attention except for a few that get a tingling in their no no naughty parts when there's a "bombshell" dropped.

But it's having no effect, and no one cares, AMIRITE?

Basically, yes. No one cares. But they do care about the imbecile who can’t read a teleprompter and has cratered the #TrumpEconomy

Pretty much, only the die hards are paying attention and they don't matter since they'll vote for whomever the D's run. As for the everyone else, we moved on long ago and have other, much more economic matters to be way more concerned with.

According to Google, pretty much no one is searching for news on Jan. 6

Given today's inflation number, expect to see much more of this.

The actual show trial is of little concern to ordinary Americans struggling to survive under this insane regime. The tactics used by the panel should be a concern to all lovers of freedom and adherents to the rule of law. This is the stuff of banana republics and even though you won't admit it, you know it.

Even you aren't stupid enough to beleive that there was an actual insurrection.

Such an ignorant argument. Your opinion of ordinary Americans is that they are totally incapable of dealing with two things at once? They can't consume news about the J6 hearings and what it means for our country going forward at the same time they think about how they are going to handle their daily finances?

Sorry, but I have a higher opinion.

Lastly, strictly going by the definition...yes...J6 was an insurrection. The actions stopped official government proceedings. Just because it was ultimately unsuccessful doesn't change the meaning of what it was and what we all saw.

Sure, some people can do two things at one time. That's not the point, but you know that. The point is what is a priority? For most, watching partisan politicians babble on about Jan 6 is very low on the priority list when people are struggling to put food on their table/fuel in the vehicles/being force to work multiple jobs because inflation is at a 40+ year high. At the end of the day, it's the economy and people's wallets that matter, not what some grandiose entitled rich politician is spewing about something that occurred a year and half ago.

Just because you are a fool doesn't mean everybody else will follow along. This 'news' you talk about is propaganda, brought to you by the partisan kangaroo court. No opposition viewpoints allowed.

The 'insurrection' you speak of was no such thing. Sri Lanka was an insurrection. You're supposedly a grown ass adult and should know the difference by now. For somebody who vehemently denies he is a democrat, you always without fail try to defend the indefensible dem positions and lie about it.
