They can try, but it does not appear to be resonating with the electorate.

Funny!

 

Man Takes Shot Every Time CNN Says ‘January 6’, Dies

 

HARRISONBURG, VA—This week, fraternity member Bill Williamson died from alcohol poisoning during a drinking game. The rules of the game were simple: take a shot of whiskey every time the phrase "January 6" is uttered on CNN.

 

“We knew CNN mentioned January 6 a lot, but we didn’t think Bill would be dead in 13 minutes!” said Williamson's fraternity brother, Aiden Lyle, sobbing.

Dems Pause January 6 Hearings To Call For Insurrection

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Democrats have temporarily pushed pause on the January 6th hearings in order to lead an insurrection against the federal government.

 

"On January 6th, a branch of our federal government was almost overthrown because politicians used dangerous rhetoric that caused - wait, hold on everyone, I just got the update. Roe's been overturned!" said Representative Adam Schiff. "Okay, well if all the Republicans could please sit tight, there will be a brief recess while our Democratic caucus takes to the streets demanding we overthrow a branch of the federal government."

 

After closing down their presentation entitled "How Trump Undermined Institutional Authority", Democrats raced to join the crowd surrounding the Supreme Court building. "Rigged! Rigged decision!" shouted Senator Elizabeth Warren. "Judges must no longer be allowed to hold power! We will never abide by an illegitimate decision by an illegitimate court. Fight, fight!" she screamed as beleaguered police arrived in riot gear.

Jump the shark moment?

 

Another J6 Trump 'Bombshell' Outed as a Hoax!

 

Trump’s former acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, slammed the committee for allowing this testimony to not be challenged.

 

“So a junior staffer was pressured by @Liz_Cheney to lie under oath,” he tweeted. “Why wasn’t there a single committee member asking her if she had proof? This performance collapsed in an hour.”

 

“The DC media is corrupt and sick,” he concluded.

I had the TV on last night and was wondering, just did not pass the smell test.

 

I thought those limos were long and had bullet proof glass between the compartments, and Trump is not the most agile.

 

Turns out she was not even there, #######, that is not how it was presented.

 

Reminds me of somebody else...

Things Get Awkward When Jake Tapper Asks Jamie Raskin for Confirmation of Hutchinson's Story
By Nick Arama | Jun 29, 2022 10:15 PM ET

 

[...] CNN's Jake Tapper asked Jan. 6 Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) what corroboration the Committee had before they threw this out to the public.  Raskin's response was something to behold.  [...]

The whole J6 thing is a sham and an embarrassment to the US "justice" system.

To be fair, the DoJ is only involved after the fact.  However, I agree, this handpicked Democrat committee is just like the show trials we see in many totalitarian states.  Political theatre.

The Jan. 6 Committee Is Causing Never Trumpers To Lose Their Minds

 

Even worse in some ways was the take from Tim Carney, a columnist for the Examiner and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (who, to be fair, has had a hard time thinking clearly about Trump lately). On Wednesday, long after the problems with Hutchinson’s testimony were widely known, Carney penned an unintentionally hilarious column headlined, “Ignore Democrats’ distractions: Here’s how Trump proved his unfitness on Jan. 6.”

 

Ah, yes, because the thing we need to focus on here isn’t the phony hearsay testimony from a patently unreliable witness in a Soviet-style show trial being conducted by House Democrats, but how we can spin this episode to scold the right about how Trump wasn’t a “good shepherd.” It’s like Carney sits around thinking up ways to help the left, even when their deceptive schemes are exploding in real time.

 

For its part, National Review posted a long-winded column Tuesday night by Andrew McCarthy declaring Hutchinson’s testimony to be “devastating,” even though key parts of it had already been called into question by people with firsthand knowledge. Since then, McCarthy has penned two additional posts about how the Jan. 6 committee has undercut this “devastating” testimony from Hutchinson, and how the fact that its hearsay is “part irrelevant and part inaccurate.” (McCarthy, for those who don’t know, is a former federal prosecutor who over the course of his punditry threw cold water on the mere suggestion that former FBI director James Comey was dishonest, that Robert Mueller was out to lunch, or that the FBI would ever try to obtain a FISA warrant on abject nonsense, despite later writing a book refuting himself.)

Didn't I post this somewhere?

Or, maybe I considered posting it and chose another Federalist article instead.

This J6 "hearing" is almost as comically sad as the most recent impeachment attempts in American history.
