Nobody with a firing synapse believes there was an “insurrection”, or that President Trump encouraged that nonexistent event.

Your joking right. I'll give you that the democrats want to keep the insurrection on 1/6 in the public view but insisting that there wasn't an attempted insurrection is criminal.

Was everyone involved in the insurrection, NO. Was there an attempted insurrection, YES. The commission is there to find out who, why, and how. It's also to determine what to fix in both the capitol police plan and response.

But truthfully the Democrats already have what they want. A record of each republican senator and congressman's vote on whether to investigate or not. And they will use that vote to reproach every one of them during the midterm elections.

It would probably be better for the country if they had voted for it. At least then maybe we could keep congress involved in investigating 1/6 rather than figuring out how to spend six trillion dollars in the new budget. Now that's crazy.

Yes, we will! I'm very anxious to see real evidence! Originally Posted by pfunkdenver

How about the social media evidence that some yahoo's were planing a take-over of the Capital building days and weeks before Trump spoke of "marching to the Capital".

Maybe they'll pull out all of Adam Schiff's evidence that he didn't get a chance to present last time of conspiracy/ collusion between Trump and the Proud Boys.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...-aren-n1264291


FBI officials have repeatedly said they gathered no credible intelligence in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection suggesting that pro-Trump extremists intended to storm the U.S. Capitol.
And even after months of intensive investigation, Justice Department prosecutors have presented no evidence so far that any of the 420 individuals charged to date for their actions Jan. 6 planned in advance to attack the building in which Congress was certifying Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election.


But a new report by a nonprofit research group, and a separate review by NBC News, uncovered hundreds of social media posts discussing plans to move on the Capitol, including a map of the building and talk of how to create a stampede that would overwhelm Capitol Police.


"You know there will be riot police preventing us from getting in the capitol building," one anonymous poster wrote in December. "What if we created a stampede/crush situation? Start pushing from the back. Surely they will have to get out of the way or get crushed. They're not going to start shooting people."


One post on a very active forum for angry Trump fans called the TheDonald.win was titled "If we occupy the Capitol building, there will be no vote." The top response to that post reads: "GOTTA OVERWHELM THE BARRICADES AND COPS."


The posts raise new questions about whether the FBI missed or failed to act on these threats, and why federal prosecutors have so far said in court they have not determined whether anyone planned the attack in advance. A Justice Department spokesman and the FBI declined to comment.

"This information, sitting in plain sight on the internet before Jan. 6, paints a clear picture of a planned and coordinated violent attack," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement to NBC News. "It's important to understand how much of this the FBI and DOJ knew, when they knew it, and how they decided which pieces of information warranted action."


In the past, FBI officials have said that unattributed comments on social media don't always add up to credible intelligence, in part because many people fail to act on the things they say online. They also have pointed to what they call an unvetted "situational information" report from their Norfolk, Virginia, field office describing unspecified plans to make "war" on the Capitol that was sent to law enforcement agencies around the country the night before the riot. That shows they did offer some warning, they say, while acknowledging the report did not circulate at the highest levels of the FBI.
Critics say the FBI missed a torrent of threats online in the days leading up to Jan. 6.


"There are thousands of posts — with tens of thousands of comments — detailing plans to travel to Washington and engage in violence against the U.S. Capitol," said Daniel Jones, a former FBI analyst and longtime Senate investigator who is now president of Advance Democracy. "The ultimate end goal of this violence was, on behalf of Trump, to disrupt the Congress and overturn the presidential election."
The Advance Democracy report gathered the material from a now-defunct website, TheDonald.win, where Donald Trump supporters vented their anger in the wake of an election they believed was stolen from the former president. The report was first detailed last week by The Washington Post. NBC News obtained the full cache of postings from the defunct website and reviewed material that was not included in the Advance Democracy report.


While some of those who posted on TheDonald.win participated in the Capitol riot — some posted photos of themselves on the scene that were reviewed by NBC News — what's not clear is whether any of those who posted specific plans or threats of violence against the Capitol are among the defendants who have been charged. The posts reviewed by NBC News are anonymous, and the court documents in the cases against alleged Capitol rioters don't always detail their social media handles.


Sen. Gary Peters, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, called what happened Jan. 6 "a massive and historic intelligence failure."

Still unclear is whether it was a failure to collect intelligence or a failure to act on intelligence that had been collected.


It's a long article, click the link if you want to read it all but you won't find a single piece of credible evidence, just like that other investigation you know, that Trump had anything to do with the planning or incited a riot. Problem is, all the "evidence" has been reported and it doesn't look good for "law enforcement". Hell, I could defend Trump and win in a court of law.

"mostly peaceful protests ..."

so do the Republicans. the Democrats will get destroyed in the midterms

Then why is nobody being charged with insurrection/ rebellion? It has a criminal statue, they could make that charge if they think they have the evidence. What's your guess as to why they aren't charging insurrection but merely trespass and disorderly conduct charges? Could it be that "insurrection" is sexier, more dramatic, makes better theater for what you accurately describe as a political decision?



The commission is there to find out who, why, and how. It's also to determine what to fix in both the capitol police plan and response.



So you're saying they can't figure out how to keep that from happening again from what they already know? What is it exactly that you think is left to be found out so that they could better protect the capital or is it all about making political hay against Republicans for the 2022 election which you seem to be admitting?


But truthfully the Democrats already have what they want.



There you go! An honest admission of what this is all about. You just undermined the whole Democrat argument. Thanks.



A record of each republican senator and congressman's vote on whether to investigate or not. And they will use that vote to reproach every one of them during the midterm elections.


And you think that will be the leading concern come 2022? Not immigration with Biden at 38% approval and getting worse by the day, not inflation, not teaching Critical Race Theory, not the probability that no where near the jobs Biden has promised will have come to pass much like Obama's "shovel ready jobs"?
