What do I think about the January 6 Committee’s recommendation to the DOJ to prosecute Trump for sparking an insurrection?
First off, I think Trump deserves criticism for January 6.
Trump did nothing wrong in his speech. Telling supporters to peacefully protest while questioning the integrity of the vote – that was perfectly justified.
Telling Mike Pence not to certify the result was not justified. Congress can refuse to certify the result, but Mike Pence had no authority to do so.

Trump could also have told protestors to go home sooner than he did, after they began to enter the Capitol.
But what did Trump do that was criminal on, or in relation to, January 6?
Is questioning the integrity of an election illegal? No, and in fact, the last Presidential Election Democrats lost and did not widely question the integrity of was in 1988 when George H W Bush (the father of George W Bush) defeated Michael Dukakis. I am 51, and I was not old enough to vote in that election, so unless you are older than me, you have never voted in a Presidential Election Democrats lost and then accepted the results of.
If attacking the integrity of elections is illegal, throw Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore, and hundreds of other Democrats in prison with Trump, because they did it too. Repeatedly.
But Democrats do not consider it illegal when they do it – and that one fact tells you everything you need to know.
As for the insurrection on January 6, according to the FBI, there was none. It was a spontaneous uprising, and all but 12 people were charged with nothing more than trespassing, after being held without charges for entirely too long.
Twelve members of the Proud Boys apparently did plan something along the lines of an insurrection, and they are being tried accordingly, but Trump had no involvement with that.
As for incitement, is Maxine Waters going to be Trump’s bunkmate? How about Kamala Harris, or any of the hundreds of other prominent Democrats who incited violence during the Trump Administration? According to the January 6 Committee, trespassing in the Capitol is a major offense. Do you know what the same people do not consider an offense? Trying to burn the Capitol down.
Those who called rampant arson in the Capitol and around the country ‘mostly peaceful’ for four years should sit this one out.
I am in the awkward position where Trump supporters sometimes criticize me for not supporting Trump, and where those who do not like Trump criticize me for defending Trump against meritless attacks, such as that from the January 6 Committee.
What I would like to see is Trump suing the government for allowing the January 6 Committee. On what grounds, you ask?
How about because Nancy Pelosi did not allow the Republicans in Congress to choose their members?
How about because only two of the members were Republicans – and both were hand-picked by Nancy Pelosi specifically because they were fervently anti-Trump?
How about because the Republicans were not allowed to call witnesses?
How about because the Republicans were not allowed to cross-examine witnesses?
Never before in the history of our country has a Congressional Committee been set up as such an obvious sham as to deny due process and create a predetermined result. The January 6 Committee was a true fascist first for our nation.
And I mean REAL fascism – I’m not just throwing words out like those on that committee do.
In short, Trump should not be charged with a crime in relation to January 6 because, although his performance related to that day was less than satisfactory, he did nothing illegal, and this is supposed to be a nation where such things matter.
Trying to throw someone in jail because you dislike their politics – is that really the nation you want to live in? That is what the January 6 Committee is trying to do, and if you support them, you are an idiot and an un-American fascist, just as the members of that committee are and just as Nancy Pelosi is.
What is the more significant threat to our Republic:
1) Trump on January 6, or
2) The FBI paying Twitter $2 million to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, influencing the last Presidential Election?
What was on that laptop?
