Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Select Committee investigating the January 6th riot, which took place at the US Capitol nearly two years ago, held its last public hearing nearly two weeks go. The committee is exclusively made up of anti-Republican members appointed by the leader of the Democratic Party.
Most of the committee's time has been spent violating the civil rights of conservative activists, Republican consultants, and probing the Trump administration
- Time and time again, committee members have taken to sensationalized TV shows to assert that crimes are being investigated by the partisan body
- Congress, per the Constitution, is explicitly barred from pursuing criminal investigations. What it can do is fix their own security and streamline processes
The committee has held one hearing involving police.
- The US Capitol Police Chief, who told the Senate that he ordered the evacuation of the Capitol building due to pipe bombs found outside of the RNC headquarters and not protestors, was terminated through "resignation."
- Before any Congressional investigation had been commissioned, the three men with direct knowledge had been ousted and Congress gave the USCP nearly $2 billion, tasked them with launching an intelligence collection arm, and the next month they opened satellite offices in Florida and California.
A day after the conflict, we learned that the Department of Defense offered the USCP the National Guard three days prior to the planned objections on January 6th.
- According to testimony that predates the formation of the select committee from Chris Miller, the acting head of defense, the president actually inquired if the District's mayor had requested the national guard. He authorized him to "fill" any requests.
- For nearly two years, Trump has told the world that this was the case.
The 'he said, she said' fight appeared to come to a conclusion with October 13th's hearing airing footage no one knew existed
- The footage was shot by Pelosi's filmmaker daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, who was apparently there for national security briefings at Fort McNair, filming calls with government officials
- On the film, Speaker Pelosi frantically called for guardsmen that she and her team had previously rejected
- She and Chuck Schumer appeared to violate the separation of powers and attempt to direct cabinet secretaries and their security posture
- Amidst the chaos-all captured on film-Pelosi realizes she failed in her duty as Speaker of the House
Ali Alexander appeared before the January 6th Select Committee on December 9, 2021 and testified for 8 hours
- He provided evidence that exonerated President Trump and conservative Members of Congress who had been falsely accused of planning an "insurrection."
- This past summer, he appeared before a federal grand jury and is suing Nancy Pelosi.
