The congressional committee assigned by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to look into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol was set up in a partisan manner – with her decision to refuse to seat members nominated by the GOP.
Since then it’s focused almost exclusively on finding statements that could be used against President Trump, and its members essentially have ignored the liability Pelosi may have for the damage that day, as she refused Trump’s offer to have National Guard troops on hand.
She is, after all, as speaker partly responsible for the security of the building.
It has held carefully staged televised “hearings” to release information it wants Americans to have, again almost exclusively against Trump and other Republicans.
So what has it accomplished?
According to a commentary by the Washington Examiner, that would be “to further divide our country by attacking honorable statesmen” like Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah.
It explained: “In perhaps the most blatantly partisan and cynical move by the committee, it deliberately leaked texts obtained by staff through its subpoena power to the press for the express purpose of trying to unseat a Republican senator.
“The texts between former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) were leaked completely out of context to make it appear that Lee was conspiring with then-President Donald Trump to delay certification of the 2020 election. Utah Senate candidate Evan McMullin, who has been endorsed by the Democratic Party, has made these texts the centerpiece of his entire campaign, accusing Lee of betraying the Constitution by urging the White House ‘to find fake electors to overturn the will of the people.’
“McMullin’s story, however, is completely false — and dishonestly so. Lee had circulated a letter to his Republican colleagues the week before Jan. 6 explaining why he was not going to join other colleagues in objecting to the certification of electors. Even after being personally attacked by Trump for rejecting this delay, Lee stood firm and followed through on his promise to certify the electors. ”
The commentary pointed out the divisiveness of that day, and said, “All the Jan. 6 committee has accomplished is to further divide our country by attacking honorable statesmen like Lee, who did his constitutional duty that day.”
The editorial, under the headline, “The complete and total failure of the Jan. 6 committee,” also noted that, “If you want to see just how out of touch with reality the Democratic Party has gotten itself over the Jan. 6 riot, look no further than former FBI agent Peter Strzok.”
“The adulterous and unethical FBI agent told MSNBC this week, ‘If you look at the scale in terms of the threat to democracy — I mean, 9/11 was a tragedy. We lost thousands of lives in a horrific way that we still mourn to this day, but when you look at something that is an attack on democracy, something that could actually bring about a fundamental change to American governance as we understand it, 9/11 is nothing compared to January 6,'” it said.
“So a protest that turned into a riot in which one rioter was killed by police is a very big deal compared to the mere intentional murder of thousands of innocent Americans. Got it. … Democrats think 9/11 is ‘nothing’ compared to Jan. 6. No wonder their party is cruising toward an epic beating this November. ”
It also cited a Harvard poll that had voters identify the most important issues.
Nationally, the first three were inflation, jobs and immigration, and for Republicans they were immigration, inflation and jobs.
Democrats put in second and third places climate change and women’s rights.
“And the No. 1 issue facing the country today, according to Democrats? You guessed it: Jan. 6 (27%),” the publication said. “Much of the blame for the Democratic Party’s freak-out over the regrettable occurrences that day belongs to the House committee investigating the riot, which has endlessly hyped and distorted the events leading up to Jan. 6 and the actual events of that day.”
WND previously reported Strzok’s comments were:
While framing it against 9/11, Nicolle Wallace claims January 6 was “the deadliest attack on the U.S. capital in history.”

The Gateway Pundit noted about Strzok’s claim, “This coming from a guy who opened a counter-intelligence investigation against Trump based on a phony dossier funded by Hillary Clinton.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: With what has been called the “Sovietization” of the Biden administration – including the shocking criminalization of dissent and massive weaponization of the FBI against political opponents – America is being increasingly compared to a third-world or communist dictatorship. Yet America still has one sacred institution that dictatorships from Zimbabwe to communist China don’t have: ELECTIONS. And in reality, there is no reason, despite the regime’s all-out efforts at election rigging, that the tens of millions of decent, right-thinking American voters cannot stop the Biden administration’s ever-expanding madness this November. For that reason, the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine insightfully covers the most electrifying and important races, illuminates the biggest issues, reveals how the latest federal takeover of elections actually violates the law, and much more. Looking forward to 2024, the issue also highlights why, to quote the chairman of a major think tank, Donald Trump “is the most towering political figure in living memory” and the person “most fit to lead” today’s America. It’s all in “STOPPING THE MADNESS: A MIDTERM ELECTION GUIDE FOR VOTERS WHO LOVE AMERICA.”
