January 6 Hearings Live

[Oleg]

Oleg: in the thread complaining that criminals can't pick the people who investigate them.

With nearly every congressional committee, the parties get to choose their members. Those members may then call their own witnesses or cross examine another member’s witness. But not here. Because we’re after the truth, right?

 

[ZiprHead]

Without cross-examination and the opposition party shut out from questioning and calling witnesses?

That's McCarthy's fault.

[ZiprHead]

Thanks for the confirmation.

 

[Oleg]

Thanks for the confirmation.

Ah. If you are free to choose but your choice must be approved by the opposing party, what kind of choice is that? How very Soviet of you.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes... Trump wanted to walk and lead his armed group of protestors straight to the Capitol Bldg... to fix an election that he knew wasn't stolen. But it is the Democrats who are the authoritarians for trying to keep Boehart or Greene or the likes off the commission to investigate the attack on The Capitol building that resulted its evacuation and the Vice President needing to have his residence under heightened security to finish out his term.

Specifically, it was Jim Jordan and Jim Banks. And it’s a bit humorous you using the word “authoritarian,” when denying the opposition its choice is just that. Really, the “democracy is in danger” crowd doesn’t give a shit about democracy.

 

[laughing dog]

Unanimous vote for testimony and docs... neither of which I think will ever happen.

Not if the House flips this November.

So it's not about the truth?

When there is no cross examination; no difference of viewpoint of the members of this committee; the opposition party denied its choice of members: You think this is about truth? LOL.

You think this is a trial? LOL. Don't worry, hopefully you'll get your wish.

A kangaroo court, yes. It's just about politics.

No, it is about getting an accurate historical accounting of the riot/insurrection. Since insurrections are politics, it is redundant to say "it is just about politics".

"Accurate" historial accounting? Without cross-examination and the opposition party shut out from questioning and calling witnesses? You gotta be shittin me, Pyle.

The opposition party is not shut out from questioning or from calling witnesses. There are Republicans on the committee, one is the co-chair. A discussion is usually helped when the participants appear to have a fucking clue what they are talking about.

Who were chosen by the majority party. Come on, man.

Jim Jordan voted to reverse an election he knew wasn't fraudulent. He should be going to prison.

The opposition party refused to make a choice. The opposition party refused to co-operate. So your claim that they are shut out is misleading at best. Since there are Republicans (i.e. the opposition party) on the committee, you made a factually false claim.

It is difficult to take your comments seriously when they are either deliberating misleading or factually false.

Are you under the impression that attacking Congress to overturn an election is not an insurrection?

 

[Oleg]

The opposition party refused to make a choice.

No. Otherwise Jim Jordan and Jim Banks would be on the January 6 committee.

 

[ZiprHead]

No. Otherwise Jim Jordan and Jim Banks would be on the January 6 committee.

That's like putting the defendant on the jury. Who would do that?

No. Otherwise Jim Jordan and Jim Banks would be on the January 6 committee.

That is factually incorrect. The GOP refused to nominate anyone to the committee. Please point to any of the italicized words that you do not understand.

Ugh. Democracy means others get to make their own choices, whether you like that choice or not. You lefties are so authoritarian.

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi has taken the unprecedented step of denying the minority party's picks for the Select Committee on January 6," McCarthy said in a statement. "This represents an egregious abuse of power and will irreparably damage this institution. Denying the voices of members who have served in the military and law enforcement, as well as leaders of standing committees, has made it undeniable that this panel has lost all legitimacy and credibility and shows the Speaker is more interested in playing politics than seeking the truth."

I didn't miss it. Mr. McCarthey is not a trustworthy source as his comment certainly proves.

You are correct. Perhaps you should educate Mr. Trump on that basic fact.
