Congressman Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the new House select committee to scrutinize the Capitol attack, says he will investigate Donald Trump as part of his inquiry into the events of 6 January – a day he sees as the greatest test to the United States since the civil war.
In an interview with the Guardian, Thompson said that he is also prepared to depose members of Congress and senior Trump administration officials who might have participated in the insurrection that left five dead and nearly 140 injured.

Multiple states are now requesting forensic audits. What better time to holler "squirrel" than now? Are you seeing the fake Delta variant numbers? Get ready for the Biden/Psaki regime to order a "new" mask mandate and lockdown.
ps: who else here believes that Gavin Newsom already has the "right" voting machines in place in California. And you thought Trump lost in California. You thought Trump lost the election. Stand by for adventure...

This will intensify, especially now that he has announced he is running in 2024.

Congressman Bennie Thompson ... ‘Nothing is off limits’
Except, of course, for who killed Ashley Babbitt.
And, more interestingly, why?

Democrats are actually the enemy within. As such, China is hoping that the Democrats can accomplish by fraudulent vote what China will otherwise have to attempt by force - the total subversion of America,

Why doesn't social media, which is do quick to block posts and users for misinformation, continuing to allow people to post and spread the fallacy that 5 people were killed during the "insurrection "? In truth, only 1 person was killed. An unarmed protester killed by an anonymous federal officer. There are lots of lies that continue to be put out as fact yet they are never blocked by "the algorithm " as false information.

Thompson also said he expects the National Archives, the agency now in possession of records from the "Obama/Biden" White House, to make materials available for his investigation. “That should not be an issue,” he said, though he left open the possibility of subpoenas in the event of noncompliance.
And he vowed to refer criminal charges should "obama/Biden White House records, covering the period from the November election through 6 January, be missing or destroyed – a persistent worry among Democrats as Evidence of Bidens private/secret emails to his son Biden using Secret Govt data and information he was using to sell personal multi million$dollar$ business deals to foreign oligarchs... grew increasingly "obvious" in the "recent" weeks of the administration.

Deja vu all over again. Trump is the cleanest pres. we've had in a long time. He has had to endure more investigation than anyone on earth.

“The issues of January 6 are one of the most salient challenges we have as a nation, to make sure that this democracy does not fall prey to people who don’t really identify with democracy,” Thompson said....Like Democrat Socialists and Communists, who will/would/did do EVERYTHING in their power to negate the entire Trump presidency every step of the way(sedition/soft coup/witch trials, including a second illegitimate/illegal impeachment during the final days of the campaign)...and pervert the established rules/Laws and standards of the Re-election, refusing to even hear the thousands of sworn affidavits, verifiable evidence of anomalies, and illegal voting that Trump supporters by the millions peacefully assembled to petition congress to redress PRIOR to a hurried certification of flawed voting data.

Well, yeah, a few things are off-limits.
Like who killed Ms Babbitt?
Who lied about the death of the Capitol Police Officer (may God rest their souls and comfort their families)?
Who ordered the Capitol Police to let the protesters in?
Who gave the orders to steal the 2020 election?

The Dems need a diversion to take people's minds off of the mess they have created.

The hyperbole about this “commission” is over the top. It’s a witch hunt, nothing more, nothing less.

The dem pols continually harass Pres. Trump and even America itself with lies & bogus accusations which prove to be false and malicious. Pres. Trump has been falsely targetted since he began his first campaign. The dem pol harassers are pathetic human beings and do not represent ethical citizens.

Republicans need to push back against the claims of these low-IQ Democrats. The role of the government is to manage the administrative details of running a country and to stay out of our lives. Americans - all Americans _ have the right to protest and the Captiol building does not belong to politicians. Send these pea-brains home. Conduct meetings via Zoom. Vote electronically. Report every meeting with lobbyists in detail. Submit a report everyday. Who did you meet with? Did they buy you dinner? Drinks? Entertainment? Did they give to your campaign? Did they employ or give any money or gift to a family member? We have a right to know. Also, no politicians should be able to create a 501C3 orginization because this is how they launder money. I am sick of them and it is time to pull in the reins.
