The final episode in the made-for-TV movie called the January 6 House Select Committee Hearings has just finished, with the final “hearing” today.
Of course, the hearings were not hearings. There was no opposition permitted. Thousands of hours of video and tens of thousands of pages of evidence were edited down and selectively used to do one thing: Get the political opposition as broadly as possible. This was no search for the truth, it was a political infomercial.
The final episode was today, but the final play is to hand the anti-MAGA football to Merrick Garland and DOJ to prosecute Democrats’ political opposition once Democrats lose the House, as is likely.
Liz Cheney announced that the Committee is making criminal referrals:
The Committee also voted to subpoena Trump for questioning. Once again, Liz Cheney led the way:
These moves, particularly the subpoena, would not seem to make sense. Once, and assuming, Republicans take over in January, they can vote to rescind the subpoena and revoke any finding of contempt, so is it futile?
At least one person thinks the strategy is to hand off the football to DOJ so it’s out of the control of the future Republican-controlled House:
That probably is the plan.
But will Merrick Garland really prosecute someone for failing to comply with a subpoena that has been withdrawn, and a contempt vote that has been rescinded?
You must be new around here if you think he won’t. At a minimum, it will provide the pretext for a new round of FBI terror, with seizures of electronic devices, raids on lawyers, and swat teams swooping at dawn on families in their pajamas.
