Steve Scalise LIED:

Rep. Scalise caught in lie about Speaker Pelosi on January 6

“In June, House Republicans Steve Scalise and Jim Banks questioned if Speaker Pelosi was involved in delaying National Guard assistance during the January 6 insurrection. New video footage, shown during Thursday’s January 6 Committee hearing, shows Rep. Scalise was in the room with a bipartisan group of lawmakers as Speaker Pelosi spoke on speaker phone with the Department of Defense asking for assistance during the attack. The Morning Joe panel discusses.”

DOD Took Hours To Approve National Guard Request During Capitol Riot, Commander Says

“The timeline

“At 1:49 p.m., I received a frantic call from then-chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund, where he informed me that the security perimeter at the Capitol had been breached by hostile rioters,” Walker testified.

“Chief Sund, his voice cracking with emotion, indicated that there was a dire emergency on Capitol Hill and requested the immediate assistance of as many guardsmen as I could muster.”

Walker said he “immediately” alerted Army senior leadership of the request. He was not informed of the required approval from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller until 5:08 p.m., he said — “3 hours and 19 minutes later.””

Trump never gave order to deploy National Guard ahead of January 6, former defense secretary testifies

• “Trump never ordered troops to defend the US Capitol on January 6, his former defense secretary said.
• Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had claimed Trump ordered the deployment of 10,000 troops.
• “I was never given any director or order or knew of any plans of that nature,” Christopher Miller testified.”

They keep saying “Ray Epps!” but forget the fact the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys. Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Ali Alexander and others planned the insurrection for months.

Rep. Jim Banks’s lies:

My annotation of Representative Banks lies

“Among them, why was the Capitol unprepared and vulnerable to attack on January 6?”

This is the “the bank wasn’t guarded that well, so I decided to rob it Judge” defense. Perhaps Capital Police did not anticipate a rally by Donald Trump would have Rudy say “Let’s Have a Trial By Combat!”

Or Alabama Representative Mo Brooks saying “American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass!”

House lawyers weigh immunity for Rep. Mo Brooks in Jan. 6 lawsuit

Or Donald Trump tell rallygoers to walk down to the Capitol (he said he was going with them – he lied) and said “If you don’t fight like hell, you are not going to have a country anymore”.

A GOP Talking Point and Rep Jim Banks lie here:

“If Democrat were serious about investigating political violence, this committee would be studying not only the January 6 riot at the Capitol, but also the hundreds of violent political riots last summer…”

Citation Representative Banks? I have one:

UConn Study: At Least 96% of Black Lives Matter Protests Were Peaceful

“The study found there were more than 7,000 separate Black Lives Matter anti-racism events across the country in May and June. Ninety six percent of them had no property damage, and 98%  had no injuries reported.”

Study of 2020 Protests Shows Difference Between Reality and Perception

“While the summer of 2020 experienced 100 days of violence and destruction in cities, according to the the U.S Department of Homeland Security, the most recent CCC study of 7,305 separate events in May and June suggests that 96.3% of events involved no property damage or police injuries and 97.7% of events had no injuries reported. Pressman spoke with UConn Today about the new report”

“And of course, the committee would not overlook the Good Friday murder of USCP Officer Billy Evans that was perpetrated by a far-left extremist.”

Not a far-left extremist, but a man having issues,

Capitol attack suspect Noah Green played football in VA tried to change last name to Muhammad

“Investigators are increasingly focused on Green’s mental health as they work to identify any motive for the attack, a U.S. official briefed on the investigation told the Associated Press. Investigators have learned the suspect had been suffering from delusions, paranoia and suicidal thoughts, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing matter and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.”

What about these murders of police officers Representative Banks?

100 days of warning: inside the Boogaloo killings of US security personnel

“Just before 9.45pm, according to federal prosecutors, as the white van pulled away from the guard post, its side door opened, and Carrillo opened fire on the security officers outside the courthouse. Underwood, shot multiple times, was killed. Another officer was seriously injured.”

“Two days after Facebook announced it would limit, but not ban, the Boogaloo movement, Carrillo would allegedly kill again.”

‘They came to kill cops’

“As the local deputies approached the house in Ben Lomond, prosecutors allege, Carrillo opened fire, shooting two of them. One deputy was also injured in an explosion. Gutzwiller was killed.”

Violence last summer?

Minneapolis

Feds say far-right group coordinated attack on Minneapolis police precinct during protest

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota on Friday announced that the FBI brought charges against a member of the far-right “Boogaloo Bois” group for organizing and participating in an effort to “incite a riot” outside a Minneapolis police precinct in May amid protests against the police killing of George Floyd. “

Richmond

Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter

“RICHMOND, Va. – Riots in downtown Richmond over the weekend were instigated by white supremacists under the guise of Black Lives Matter, according to law enforcement officials.”

A Trump security chief acknowledges role of white supremacist extremists in U.S. urban violence

“WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s acting homeland security chief on Wednesday acknowledged that white supremacist extremists played a role in this year’s urban violence in the United States, a revision of the administration’s public descriptions of the political motivations of violent protesters.”

“Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi created this committee solely to malign conservatives and to justify the Left’s authoritarian agenda”

Perhaps the American people want to know the truth? Why doesn’t the GOP?

“”Even then I will do everything possible to give the American people the facts about the lead up to January 6,”

Ted Cruz in Georgia?

Who in House and Senate GOP knew what before January 6?

Police Investigating Whether Lawmakers Gave Rioters Tour of Capitol Before Siege

“the riot that day”

“and the responses from Capital leadership and the Biden administration”

Joe Biden was not sworn in until January 20th. Trump was POTUS on January 6th.

Timeline of National Guard Deployment to Capitol

Republicans’ Shaky, No Evidence Attempt to Cast Blame on Pelosi for Jan. 6

Fact check: Nancy Pelosi wasn’t ‘in charge’ of Capitol Police on Jan. 6

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6

Ask GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy about Donald Trump on January 6th

“I will not allow this committee to be turned into a forum for condemning millions of Americans because of their political beliefs”

It will not be a forum, it will be a committee studying what happened on January 6th. The GOP doesn’t want the truth about that day to come out for some reason? Millions of Americans are asking THAT question.
