Worst October ‘Surprise' Ever: January 6 Committee to Resume Before Midterms
2022-09-18
[Breitbart] Well, since Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger don't have to worry about reelection campaigns...
The House January 6 Committee is planning to hold at least one more hearing and release an early report into its "findings" before the 2020 midterm elections, in what is probably the least surprising "October surprise" in American political history.

Axios.com reported, with the credulous headline "Jan. 6 committee’s October surprise," the following "news":

The committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol plans to hold at least one more hearing late this month and release early findings and recommendations before the election.

Despite the panel’s long-stated goal of avoiding perceptions of partisanship or politicization, a noisy October could impact the midterms.

...

State of play: Members told Axios that while their final report will likely come after the election, plenty of news could be made before — and that the election is not a big factor in their scheduling.

Contrary to Axios’s acceptance of the presumption that the committee never meant to look partisan or political, the committee was the first in American history to reject the minority party’s nominees to serve on the panel, creating a one-sided show trial.

And while the committee’s last scheduled hearing was weeks ago, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chair of the panel — who lost her primary election, largely as a result — has long indicated that hearings would continue into the fall of 2022.

Despite many stage-managed hearings — complete with Teleprompter scripts — and the lack of any contrary evidence or protection for witnesses, the committee failed to link former President Donald Trump directly to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

#4  Last hurrah for them. Lizzy the lizard and Kry baby Kinzinger are out and the dems will be in the minority in the next congress.

And if the Pubs take the opening the dems have given them, they will exercise absolute right of refusal over all dem appointments to committees in the next congress.

But it's the GOPe, Jake. They will whine "That's not who we arrrre."

#3  Now, if the J6 Commies actually came up with the real culprits in the DC Reichstag Fire, that would be a real surprise, But then, that is not their real purpose.
