Dems who portray Jan. 6 as a near-fatal attack on democracy are absurd

Last year's Jan. 6 clash at the Capitol may be the most politically exploited ruckus in American history.

The Justice Department declared last summer, "The investigation and prosecution of the Capitol Breach will be the largest in American history, both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the nature and volume of the evidence." But the feds continue withholding almost all of the 14,000 hours of surveillance video taken inside the Capitol Jan. 6.

BuzzFeed won a legal battle in September and posted a short clip of protesters walking peacefully inside the Capitol Jan. 6 - a jarring contradiction to the "Democracy damn near died" narrative.

Fewer than 200 Capitol police "Were deployed to interior or exterior posts at the US Capitol" Jan. 6 - as if the cops were prepping for the annual Future Farmers of America visit.

Federal Judge Trevor McFadden slammed prosecutors for pillorying Jan. 6 protesters while dropping charges against individuals who engaged in far worse behavior during violent summer 2020 protests in Washington.

Beryl Howell, the chief judge in federal court in Washington, derided prosecutors for "Almost schizophrenic" behavior for denouncing Jan. 6 as an "Attack on democracy" but then merely charging some protesters with "Parading" in the Capitol building.

A hysterical New York Times editorial headlined "Every Day Is Jan. 6 Now" declared, "Republican lawmakers in 41 states have been trying to advance the goals of the Jan. 6 rioters ... in a bloodless, legalized form that no police officer can arrest and that no prosecutor can try in court."
