Jeffrey Epstein was a blackmailer, and only secondarily a sex offender. Which foreign intelligence agency was he working for, and what favors did they call in from the many very important people caught in the honeypot?

More kabuki theater from Paul Ryan 2.0. Hey Kevin, how about putting out a ban that all GOP reps boycott any talking head news shows? Or, if they go on, they recite everything Brandon and Co. have done to screw us?

Typical McCarthy style, verbalize the obvious. He could have done something meaningful when this illegal committee was formed. He whined a bit about Pelosi and Cheney but did nothing to deter either one. If I remember correctly, he threatened to take Lying Liz’s committee membership away but guess what? He did not follow through.
Now let’s reflect on what we believe Nasty Nan would have done if the roles were reversed. She would have reigned down fire and brimstone upon McCarthy’s head for daring to form an illegal committee. See the difference? We are stuck with the typical Republican response, a faint mewing coming from a corner somewhere and then they slink off with their tail tucked between their legs. Well Kevin, old chap, we are sick of you and your likeminded Republicans. Nancy and her goonified colleagues are attempting to blame President Trump for the shenanigans that her thugs from the FBI precipitated for the sole purpose of preventing him from running in 2024. Nancy is responsible for any “uprising” that occurred that day. It was all part of the strategy to call it an insurrection. She even tacitly allowed lethal force and two women were murdered, one shot without warning and the other beaten to death before several witnesses. Did you even bother to investigate those two deaths? Sir, you are worthless in my opinion. This country is being assault by an illegitimate administration who stole the power they now hold. Where is your outrage? How much more do the people have to suffer before your rouse yourself to defend the Constitution and confront their lawlessness? You are the reason this administration exists. You and others who believed the lie that Joe Biden received the most votes in a Presidential election ever. Did it not even once cross your mind that something was afoot? Now that ample evidence has been revealed, you and your flacks still remain silent. Just go away. Americans are sick of you and your flaccid responses to this illegitimate administration. This issue of a Kabuki Theater produced by a professional is the issue that motivates your outrage? Come on, man! You are chocking on a gnat while swallowing a camel. Americans deserve better, and your oath of office demands you defend and protect the Constitution of the United States from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Kevin McCarthy, wanna be Speaker of the House, you have failed in your duty.

Am not clear if this will be broadcast on all the Nets or just the Alphabets, but am delighted in that the revenue LOST by spiking regular programing (which, granted, is now all game and reality shows anyhow) should be significant. Plus I can't imagine any but zealots who will watch.

My prediction on the audience for this Demoncrats and GOPeahen Prime Time TV Special? Both viewers will get really mad at Trump. The rest of us plebes will be figuring out how to pay for food, gas and heating oil/electricity/Nat Gas this winter..

I hope they have the LOWEST RATINGS in History! I have no interested in watching those Losers, sitting like they're Royalty, accusing the Peons they've kept locked up all this time. Jan. 6th is all designed to go after Trump. The poor folks sitting in Jail are just there to keep the attention on GET TRUMP!

#1 - with access the government databases, I have to believe the dems are using the same blackmail approach as Epstein to get their way. It is the only way to explain some decisions by key people, who otherwise would never have supported the stuff they approved.

Are the broadcast networks showing this? I assumed it was just going to be CNN and MSNBC.

No surprise...the democrats are determined to make this show trial as damaging as possible for President Trump...they are scared to death of President Trump running for the White House in 2024....even handcuffing and shackling and strip searching Navarro to get a a charge of sedition on him...they are desperate to stop President Trump...and taking down his associates is part of their game...

They really have lost their minds. No one cares about this. I no longer care what these people did. They are entitled to a fair and speedy trial. They are political prisoners. Do these idiotic, poisonous liberals think even one person will change their midterm vote over this obnoxious display? I am more passionate than ever about removing these useless POS politicians for good.

They're not having a hearing, or investigating what really happened. They're producing tabloid fiction for television. Disgusting.

The Democrats don’t give a hoot about what McCarthy and the wimpy Republicans claim. Nobody will watch that Democrat televised political inquisition. McCarthy and the wimpy Republicans should be concentrating on the State Republican Parties selecting and putting up legitimate non-RINOS who can win in the November election.

Something’s up with this whole Jan 6 fiasco. The dems read the same rumors that have been swirling on the internet for 2 yrs about the demise of the Deep State. I believe they are just nervous enough to try to get ahead of whatever the truth may be.

". . . Kevin McCarthy slams Democrats . . ."
How terribly courageous of him.
I cannot believe that Trump endorsed him again. Anyone could have taken his place.

This is about as courageous as a Dan Rather sign-off. I’m not inspired. I don’t even think McCarthy is brave enough to leave Frank Luntz.
