Rep. Jamie Raskin, the Grand Poobah of Trump’s 2nd sham impeachment, says the democrats have irrefutable proof that the former President planned and coordinated the January 6 “insurrection.” Right after making this claim however, he admitted that the January 6 Committee actually has nothing. It makes for a good headline, though.
Speaking of which, check out this headline from The Hill:
Raskin says Jan. 6 panel has found more on Trump than ‘incitement’
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Monday said the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has found evidence on former President Trump that supports “a lot more than incitement.”
The comment from Raskin, a member of the Jan. 6 panel, referenced Trump’s second impeachment in January 2021, when the House voted to impeach the then-president for incitement to insurrection.
The Jan. 6 panel is set to hold its first public hearing on Thursday, where Raskin said the committee will lay out information regarding individuals who played a role in the attack — including Trump.
“The select committee has found evidence about a lot more than incitement here, and we’re gonna be laying out the evidence about all of the actors who were pivotal to what took place on Jan. 6,” said Raskin.
Gosh, that certainly looks like they got the goods on Donald Trump, doesn’t it? But, as you read a little more of the article, it becomes much less certain:
Raskin on Monday told The Washington Post Live that this week’s hearing will “tell the story of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election and block the transfer of power.”
Asked if Trump is at the center of that conspiracy, Raskin said “I think that Donald Trump and the White House were at the center of these events.”
“That’s the only way really of making sense of them all,” he added.
He noted, however, that “people are going to have to make judgments themselves about the relative role that different people played.”
Wait a second. He “thinks” Donald Trump was at the center of these events and people are going to have to make up their own minds on it? That’s not irrefutable proof by any stretch of the imagination.
What Raskin is really saying is that he wants people to believe that Trump planned and coordinated January 6 but that the democrats don’t have any actual evidence showing he did.
The democrats and RINOs of the January 6 committee are planning a primetime special on Thursday to present all of the “evidence” to the American people. This travesty will be broadcast on ABC and NBC, plus the democrats hired former ABC News president James Goldston to produce it. This is not something they would do if their findings were in any way serious.
In fact, if they had uncovered anything against Trump or anyone else, they would refer the evidence to the Justice Department and there would be indictments. Instead, they’re doing a slickly-produced primetime fake news extravaganza.
Also, if the democrats had anything of substance, Adam Schiff would have leaked it to the press by now.
I can say with 100% certainty that there will be no new information coming in the January 6 Committee’s primetime special. I can also guarantee they won’t be covering how many undercover federal agents and FBI informants were involved.
