“ WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite desperate pleas from aides, allies, a Republican congressional leader and even his family, Donald Trump refused to call off the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol, instead “pouring gasoline on the fire” by aggressively tweeting his false claims of a stolen election and celebrating his crowd of supporters as “very special,” the House investigating committee showed Thursday night.

The next day, he declared anew, “I don’t want to say the election is over.” That was in a previously unaired outtake of an address to the nation he was to give, shown at the prime-time hearing of the committee.

The panel documented how for some 187 minutes, from the time Trump left a rally stage sending his supporters to the Capitol to the time he ultimately appeared in the Rose Garden video that day, nothing could compel the defeated president to act. Instead, he watched the violence unfold on TV.
”Jan. 6: Trump spurned aides’ pleas to call off Capitol mob


But that ignores...

IT WAS TRUMP WHO, DAYS BEFORE, ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR UP TO 20,000 NATIONAL GUARD, THAT IF PELOSI AND SCHUMER HAD NOT OBSTRUCTED IT, WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ANY POSSIBLE RIOTING ON JANUARY 6th.

Period.
The end.

Trump did absolutetly nothing wrong regarding January 6th. .

And a video of Nancy Pelosi in a car hyperventilaing on January 6th has just surfaced in the last 2 days,
saying she "takes full responsibiliy" for what happened on January 6th.
That Frau Pelosi has since evaded media questions about, and retracted responsibility for, and pretended she never said.

You and oher Democrat-Bolsheviks create this false narrative about Trump's alleged responsibility for Jan 6th, with this fake timeline narrative, to hide that Pelosi and Schumer are the ones who caused it, and have NEVER been held accountable.
NEVER had to answer any questions about i, from the media, or in House or Senate or FBI investigations.



Just as you (and Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski, and Joy Reid, and the propagandists on CNN) create fake narratives that Trump is senile and can't finish a sentence (in fact, Trump has shown off repeatedly that he doesn't even need a teleprompter, at multiple speeches and events), in a ploy for Democrats to hide the obvious fact that it is Biden can' finish a sentence and often also has no clue where he even is. As made clear at the G-7 meeting in Italy the last 2 days.


Just as you Democrat-Bolsheviks create the fake narrative that Trump is a threat to our Constitutional republic, TO HIDE THAT IT IS THE DEMOCRATS who are the threat to our republic, who want to create an authoritarian one-party system, and who have weaponized federal agencies against Trump, Republicans, and even against any dissenting Democrats (Alan Dershowitz, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and in 2016 Bernie Sanders) who threaten their power.

It is not Trump or Republicans who have used DOJ and FBI to imprison 1,300 Jan 6 PEACEFUL protesters, indefinitely, without trial or due process.

It is not Trump who has used FBI and DOJ to threaten or imprison parents who just voiced dissent at PTA meetings nationwide, just protesting the woke indoctrination of their children.
But FBI arresed several, and went in parking lots and got dissenters' auto license tag numbers, to intimidate and round them up later as well. And make an example of them, to intimidate other potenial dissenters.

Likewise DOJ and FBI were used by he Biden administration to arrest and maliciously prosecute PEACEFUL pro-life activists, given ridiculously long and disproportionate prison sentences. Just days ago, a 75 year old grandma was sentenced to 5 years in prison, for PRAYING outside an abortion clinic.

To say nothing of the weaponization of FBI and DOJ against Trump himself, in five simultaneous trials, to prevent him from running for president in Nov 2024.
And against Peter Navarro.
And against Roger Stone.
And against Paul Manafort.
And against Michael Flynn.
And against Steve Bannon.
And against former U S attorneys Victoria Toensing and Joe Digenova.
All of whom are former millionaires, who are reduced to using websites to request donations from people nationwide, FOR EVEN THEM to be able to fight the mountains of lawfare legal fees unleashed on them.
And the same with about 3 dozen other associates and employees of Trump, who AREN'T and never were millionaires, who still somehow have to fight the same charges and legal fees, or be forced to take a plea deal, with an FBI gun pointed at their heads. As many Jan 6 protesters were forced to.

The Democrat strategy is consistently authoritarianism and intimidation, EVEN AS THEY ACCUSE TRUMP of posing a threat to the nation of authoritarianism and intimidation.

Well... Trump was president for 4 years, he had all that time to do a Democrat-style authoritarian lockdown on the country if he was ever going to. Trump could have prosecuted and imprisoned Hillary and Obama and the Bidens, and reporters, if he ever truly wanted to.
But Trump, quite the opposite, rather than locking up hostile reporters, gave them unlimited press time, in marathon press conferences, more media scrutiny than any other president in history.

You know who DID investigate and prosecute reporters?
Barack Obama, and now Joe Biden. So the irony just piles up,

And Democrat-Bolsheviks like you never question the ethics or auhoritarian threat of your own party. You just keep on drinking he Kool-Aid, and parroting the clearly false talking points of your insane and Bolshevik party.
