OPINION:
While still in office, Biden issued preemptive pardons to all the members and staff of the Jan. 6 committee and all the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan Police officers who testified before the committee. Why would he do this if no one was guilty of anything?
President Trump addressed the demonstrators of Jan. 6 on Twitter as follows: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the party of Law & Order—respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you.”
Why did congressional Democratic leaders turn down repeated offers of National Guard troops to protect the Capitol that day? There were reports of many FBI informants and other undercover federal law enforcement officials being in the crowd. There were also reports and recorded video footage attesting to the fact that police officers calmly escorted or allowed demonstrators around the Capitol area. And there were discussions that key information and evidence was withheld or manipulated by the committee during the proceedings. In fact, many who reviewed the committee’s official report found it exceptionally biased.
The events of Jan. 6 and the committee that supposedly ’investigated’ these events both deserve further scrutiny. I seriously question whether the full truth has come out. Was there really an insurrection? Or was there an insidious element or false-flag operation behind the events of the day?
I hope the current administration will look further into this matter, because the public deserves to know the full truth. May all corruption be exposed and all guilty parties be held accountable.
