Alan Dershowitz dismisses Jan. 6 committee’s Trump referral: ‘Worthless piece of paper’



According to Mr. Dershowitz, the panel operated against the spirit of one of only two civil-liberties provisions in the original Constitution, before the Bill of Rights was added — a ban on “bills of attainder.”

That provision banned Congress from passing indictments of unpopular people by name.

The spirit of the ban, Mr. Dershowitz said on the Newsmax show “John Bachman Now,” is “separation of powers — that you don’t let Congress decide who to prosecute.”

The committee members, all picked by Democrats, voted unanimously Monday to refer four charges to the Justice Department for prosecution: inciting the attack on the Capitol, obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, conspiracy to defraud the government, and making false statements on fake presidential electors.

"In my view, it's clearly unconstitutional," Dershowitz said on Monday's edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "Article One limits the power of Congress through legislative actions. This is not a legislative action — naming a specific individual and referring them to the Justice Department. It's not legislative and it tramples on the authority of the executive branch."

"The 14th Amendment provides one specific time when Congress may in fact, act against an individual," he later continued. "That is if the person was engaged in an insurrection or rebellion, like in the Civil War, and they didn't act under that provision."


Dershowitz said that he believes that the Justice Department will accept these referrals and will most likely ignore them.

"I think the Justice Department will be polite and accept them, and then go on with its own investigation," he stated. "Remember, they now have a special counsel. They have the ability to investigate. They have a much higher standard of prosecution than Congress does. So they will politely ignore what Congress has said."

I keep hearing & reading the word, symbolic, which they say means nothing will come of it.

Liberal Writer Bodies Liz Cheney As January 6 Committee Ends


The House Select Committee on January 6 is ending. It’ll be gone by the next Congress—and good riddance. The committee was probably slated to be the Democrats’ 2022 attack vehicle funded by the taxpayer to paint Trump and the Republican Party as too extreme for America. It failed because a) no one cared anymore about that little riot, b) Americans knew hyperbole when they saw it, and c) the economy was collapsing. Most Americans don’t care or have the time to worry about the trivial matters that consume rich white liberals with dread. With the economy in recession, the Left tried everything to put this committee’s work front and center, even hosting primetime hearings that no one watched. Its slate of star witnesses were unreliable former Trump staffers who unsurprisingly vanished from the airwaves, their goal of landing a fat media contract shredded by their pervasive inconsistencies. This body was, however, a favorite pet project of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who tried to use it to re-establish herself as a dominant voice within the GOP.

Jan. 6 committee releases long-awaited final report on Capitol riot




“’The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed,” reads the report. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”

The findings in the report are based on information gleaned from the more than 1,000 interviews conducted by the panel, as well as the emails, text messages, and phone records obtained by investigators over the course of their investigation.

The panel, in another notable conclusion, found that Trump and his allies engaged in some 200 acts targeting state legislators or state and local election officials attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.

“The Select Committee estimates that in the two months between the November election and the January 6th insurrection, President Trump or his inner circle engaged in at least 200 apparent acts of public or private outreach, pressure, or condemnation, targeting either State legislators or State or local election administrators, to overturn State election results,” the report notes.

‘Compromised by Politics’: Report Blames Pelosi for Security Failures on January 6





From the 140-page report
:


Prior to that day, the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) had obtained sufficient information from an array of channels to anticipate and prepare for the violence that occurred. However, officers on the front lines and analysts in USCP’s intelligence division were undermined by the misplaced priorities of their leadership. Those problems were exacerbated by the House Sergeant at Arms, who was distracted from giving full attention to the threat environment prior to January 6, 2021 by several other upcoming events.
Specifically, the leader of the USCP Intelligence and Interagency Coordination Division failed to warn USCP leadership and line officers about the threat of violence, despite the fact that IICD analysts gathered intelligence that clearly indicated a need for a hardened security posture. In fact, IICD’s leader—Julie Farnam—spent the weeks leading up to January 6, 2021 attempting to overhaul the division, including by reassigning expert intelligence analysts to new roles and creating new processes for synthesizing threat data. Information about planned protests and threats of violence were siloed and not properly analyzed and disseminated during this key period because of Farnam’s misplaced priorities. One IICD analyst testified to investigators: “That unit was disbanded by her almost on day one. We, at the time of January 6, we were not doing proactive searches of social media like we had been before. We were strictly reactive and responding to requests for information.” This is also substantiated by USCP’s own internal after-action report that was drafted in June of 2021.
Similarly, then-House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving—who served on the Capitol Police Board by virtue of his position—succumbed to political pressures from the Office of Speaker Pelosi and House Democrat leadership leading up to January 6, 2021. He coordinated closely with the Speaker and her staff and left Republicans out of important discussions related to security. As a critical member of the Capitol Police Board, the House Sergeant at Arms had an obligation to all Members, staff, and USCP officers to keep them safe by consulting stakeholders without partisan preference.

Mostly Trump and others who voted for him were asking for an honest election and investigations into the cheating that went on. But of course crooked judges and a chicken chit SCOTUS didn't have the balls to open that Pandora's box.

Set the political prisoners from Pelosi's set-up free.

These people have been unfairly treated and deserve their freedom and restitution for having their Constitutional right trampled on by Pelosi and others who should have to pay them back from their personal funds.
