The bipartisan House Special Committee will not accuse the investigation of the rebellion as entirely about Trump’s hatred. The far right of the Republican Party is using this desperate argument to distract the committee from the fact-finding task of discovering the cause of the violent uprising against our democracy. The committee is asking for phone records of Republican congressmen suspected of being involved in planning the Capitol attack.
Yesterday, the New York Post reported that the chairman of the committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (Bennie Thompson), announced that “the requested information includes communications within and between the White House and the executive branch before and on January 6th. , And information about issues. Further deletions, such as attempts to place politically loyal personnel in high-level positions in various government departments after the election.” Since January 6, there have been rumors that Trump was on TV. While watching the riot, I was impressed by the mob’s aggressive pursuit of illegally getting him in power. The committee will interview those who were in the White House that day who witnessed Trump’s emotional state and behavior before and during the violent attacks on the Capitol and Washington law enforcement by the mob.
The Washington Post also reported an investigation into Trump’s plan to “place politically loyal personnel in senior positions in various government departments after the election as part of his attempt to steal the election.” During his presidency, Trump adopted a model of dismissing people and appointees who refused to swear allegiance to him or contradicted him on any issue. First, FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions were fired, and finally, Attorney General William Barr was removed after announcing that no major fraud was found in the 2020 election.
In the same article, the Washington Post stated that “some of the committee’s requests are new and seek more detailed information. They are mainly aimed at former White House staff and Trump’s loyal supporters.” Those who continue to support Trump and Republican people with far-right ideologies should ask themselves, “If their party is not in power, do they support a rebellion against our government? The committee is seeking information from cell phone records, email evidence, and videos. To clarify whether Trump, his family, members of Congress, or members of his government participated in the planning and execution of the January 6th Capitol attack.
Any American who does not understand that an attempt to overthrow a fair and legal presidential election marks the end of democracy is stupid and unpatriotic, and under the curse of such a crazy and anti-American cult, fortunately, it will not end well.
