On Monday, Jonathan Turley<\/a> posted an article on the information that has recently come out regarding January 6th and the Congressional investigation of the riot.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

On Jan. 6, 2021, the nation was rocked by the disruption of the certification of\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0<\/a><\/span>as our next president. With Donald Trump set to return to the White House in 2025, it is astonishing how much of that day remains a matter of intense debate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those divisions are likely only to deepen after a slew of recent reports that have challenged the selective release of information\u00a0from the House January 6 Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

January 6 remains as much a political litmus test as it is a historical event. Whether you refer to that day as a riot or an insurrection puts you on one side or the other of a giant political chasm. I viewed the attack on that day as\u00a0a desecration of our constitutional process,<\/a>\u00a0but I did not view it as an insurrection. I still don\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed. And that is a view shared by most Americans. One year after the riot, a\u00a0CBS\u00a0poll<\/a>\u00a0showed that 76 percent viewed it as a \u201cprotest gone too far.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Harvard study\u00a0also\u00a0found<\/a>\u00a0that those arrested on that day were motivated by loyalty to Trump rather than support for an insurrection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent poll found that almost half of the public (43 percent<\/a>) felt that \u201ctoo much is being made\u201d of the riot and that it is \u201ctime to move on.\u201d Of course, that still leaves a little over half who view the day as \u201can attack on democracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The continued distrust of the official accounts of Jan. 6 reflects a failure of the House Democrats, and specifically former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), to guarantee a credible and comprehensive investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The House Select Committee to investigate January 6 was comprised of Democrat-selected members who offered only one possible view: that January 6 was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters. The committee hired a former ABC News producer to create a slick, made-for-television production that barred opposing views and countervailing evidence. The members, including Republican Vice Chair Liz Cheney, played edited videotapes of Trump\u2019s speech that removed the portion where Trump called on his supporters to protest \u201cpeacefully.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The committee fostered false accounts, including the claim that there was a violent episode with Trump trying to wrestle control of the presidential limousine. The Committee knew that the key Secret Service driver directly contradicted that account offered by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.<\/strong><\/p>\n
