So after watching just 1/2 of the first hearing thus far last evening, that's already plenty enough to extrapolate out where this thing is headed, and what the purpose it. Although I am appreciative of the evidence gathered seeming to show some real complicity to try and hang onto power by Trump and some of his goon squad, and if the case made gets accepted by the Justice Department anyone found guilty of whatever crime should certainly pay the price accordingly, these proceedings are as far from an objective based investigation, as a prosecutor is to a defense attorney.
The democrats in charge of this are now going on 6 years of wasting their time blaming everything under the sun (including a lost presidential election) on Vladimir Putin, on the side they impeached Captain Chaos twice during that same for silly shit, they still have nothing to run on for the November elections save for the usual screaming from the mountain tops that the other side is worse, and the two republicans on the committee are in the faction attempting to defeat the dominant Orange haired Jesus faction, so who in their right mind can look at this and call it objective?
They're going to spend the rest of this made for prime time theater cherry picking the worst shit they can possibly find (yes some of it looks damning at first blush) to further their agenda, while ignoring anything and everything that doesn't fit with the agenda. The American people are going to get precisely 1/2 the story, no different than what jurors hear from the prosecution; but at least jurors get to hear the other side of the story from the defense team, t.v. viewers will get no such thing.
For instance, I wonder how much time will be spent addressing the utter lack of security around the Capitol building on Jan. 6th? A lot of people had some idea what was coming, hell I had some idea what was coming for crying out loud, so why was the joint left all but unguarded? We've seen other examples of police being under stand down orders, what happened in Charlottesville in 2017 was one such example, and there's every indication that this is what happened on Jan. 6th as well. Some people in high places facilitated this to happen, they invited it.
I was pleasantly surprised to see today that Jimmy Dore did a very good job at demonstrating the other side of this coin that I'm pointing to. "Insurrection Porn", ROFL! :ha:
