In your right-wing opinion.

The damning facts, which ****er Carlson conveniently left out, speak for themselves. They were brought to light during the 1/06 Commission, and that is why righties hate it so much.
 
This is just an excuse for you to start another thread on the same topic.

This is you yesterday.

To Liberals About Jan 6th

Whatever you do don't watch Tucker Carlson tonight or tomorrow night. If you do it may cause you to question your sacred beliefs about the events of Jan 6th. Or maybe not.

He and other righties are upset because we're not dumb enough to swallow ****er Carlson's obvious propaganda.

Believing anything Carlson says disqualifies you from the pool of sane humans. His employer says that he is not meant to be believed, he himself admits to deliberately lying to his viewers to protect the companies share value. How many times do you need to be beaten around the head by Fox before you finally realize that they are playing you for a willing fool?
 
This can not be repeated enough.
 
Undoutedly what the Democrats would have included in the 'Select Committee' had it really been what they claimed: 'A Search for the truth'.

But of course, the Democrats in control of the 'Select Committee' couldn't bring themselves to that, and instead delivered a clearly politically one sided political theater, where anything that didn't support their demanded political narrative was excluded.

So I figure take the Select Committee's findings and documentation, add in Tucker's revelations and conclusions, divide it all by about 1/2, and it might be closer to the truth. But that exercise is left to the individual to make up their mind, if they can still do so in a non-partisan, even-handed way; but as politically polarized as everyone has become it's rather a misbegotten hope than anything that might become reality.
 
Why did we need to see videos of people wandering down hallways? No one is arguing that every person at the insurrection was rabidly violent 100% of the time. You don't need to see video of an accused criminal obeying the law at other times at their trial. You need to see video of them allegedly breaking the law in order to determine whether or not a law has been broken. There is no amount of video of a person being a good citizen that cancels out one video of them committing a crime.

You do realize that the hearings were a report on the findings of a Congressional Investigative Committee, right?

And you do realize that if politicians commit crimes, it's not political, right?

Is this not 'the other side of the story?' worth taking into account? Rounding out the story of what happened that day at the location?

Funny, that's not what the lefties around here have been posting, some extremists demanding summery firing squads at dawn.

I mean I'll agree with you that they are foolish in declaring such overly broad guilt and demanding such action, from my view the criminal justice system has acquitted itself pretty well in the proceedings related to these prosecutions, filing charges for which there was evidence to support those charges.

I don't think that is anything even close to what I was supporting. Can you cite a post from me which did?

I think my position on this specific topic has been consistent and clear: 'I think the criminal justice system has acquitted itself pretty well in the proceeding related to these prosecutions.'
Do you disagree? If so, why?

Now, if you want to discuss the politically and evidentiary one-sided presentation of the Democrats 'Selection Committee' on the events, that a completely different topic to the above.
 
They presented what happened. The mainstream media reported on the most exciting and controversial parts, because that's what the mainstream media does. It is no different than Fox News showing video of a violent criminal attacking an innocent person, but refusing to show video of him playing basketball and laughing with friends. Is this a lie? Are they pushing an agenda here? Or is the video of him behaving innocuously simply not at all relevant to the crime he committed?

The mainstream media and 1/6 committee did not present an incomplete story. The story they presented was complete, even if it didn't bother to include uninteresting and irrelevant security camera video.

That Democrat controlled Congressional Investigative Committee which is exactly as I described it.

Only if the DOJ brings charges, which they'll have to prove in a court of law.
That Democrat controlled Congressional Investigative Committee which is exactly as I described it, politically driven and politically narrative driven with only that which served that politically driven and politically narrative driven purpose, and far from the 'Search for Truth' as claimed, the fact is that it was anything but, and nothing more than politically driven and politically narrative driven as demanded by the Democrats, essentially credibility absent and procedurally fatally flawed.

Just because it was a 'Congressional Investigative Committee' does not condone any credibility, especially not when it always was a politically driven and politically narrative driven and procedurally flawed. It was gaslighting and political propaganda which the Democrats have raised to an artform.
