THE CAPE CHARLES AUGUST 2, 2021 AT 8:34 PM

Paul Plante says:

And staying with this May 10, 2021 House Administration Committee Hearing on the January 6 Capitol Attack for the moment, because it is the genesis of what has followed leading up to this latest KANGAROO COURT headed up by Bennie Thompson which Elaine Luria is a member of, as we shall see from the transcript, we have Zoe Lofgren, the chair of that committee and herself a member of Bennie Thompson’s KANGAROO COURT/FARCE, on the record, as follows:

Chairperson (Zoe Lofgren): We’ll hear more about these issues and the inspector General’s recommendations for addressing these problems today.

I continue to believe Congress must establish a commission focused specifically on the January 6th insurrection.

end quotes

And BINGO, people, there we have it, right there – GENESIS, which takes us back to the transcript as follows, to wit:

Such a review is necessary, even though I agreed with Senator Mitch McConnell, former speaker John Boehner, and representative Cheney that former president Donald Trump bears ultimate responsibility for inciting the dangerous and deadly insurrection.

end quotes

And BINGO once again, people – there is what qualified both Zoe Lofgren and Liz Cheney to become members of Nancy Pelosi’s A-TEAM of WITCH HUNTERS – the two of them, both morally superior to all of the rest of us, being Democrats as they are, fervently believe in their little hearts that former president Donald Trump bears ultimate responsibility for inciting the dangerous and deadly insurrection, even though there was no insurrection, and even though, given plenty of prior opportunity to prove an insurrection, or to prove Trump incited it, the Democrats headed up by CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR Jamie Raskin, a member of both committees, they failed to produce proof to support the allegations.

But being Democrats through and through, they don’t need proof and they don’t need evidence – to the contrary, like Zoe Lofgren and Liz Cheney, who is as much a Democrat as AOC and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, they go with what they feel in their gut, which again takes us back to Zoe on May 10, 2021, as she sowed the seeds for this present KANGAROO COURT, to wit:

As we begin this hearing, I know that this is a start of national police week.

In years past, this annual commemoration of law enforcement from agencies and jurisdictions has included a large gathering on the west front of the Capitol to remember officers who’ve fallen in the line of duty and to thank all men and women who serve our nation and our communities and law enforcement.

It’s a perverse irony that this year, this important gathering will not be held in person because of the pandemic, which has killed more police officers in the past year than any other line of duty cause of death combined.

Instead, the largest multi-jurisdictional gathering of law enforcement at the Capitol so far this year, may well be that which occurred January 6th, when officers from multiple departments responded to the insurrectionist attack.

end quotes

See how she has managed using the “BIG LIE” technique of repeating a lie over and over so that people think it is the truth, because my goodness, people, it is a member of congress saying it, so it would have to be true, would it not, in just a few lines of testimony on her part to get the words “insurrection” and “insurrectionist” into the record, which record then forms the basis for Bennie Thompson’s committee to investigate the insurrection Zoe Lofgren, a committee member, has already said happened in her capacity as chair of the Committee on House Administration, which committee has oversight responsibility of the Capitol Police, and that in turn takes us back to Zoe on May 10, 2021, as follows:

Last week, that officer, officer Michael Vernon, who serves in the Washington DC metropolitan police department, said a powerful open letter about his experiences address to all elected members of the United States government.

That includes us.

He details what happened to him that day, including how he was, “Pulled into the crowd away from my fellow officers, beaten with FIS metal objects, stripped of my issued badge, radio, and ammunition magazine, and electrocuted numerous times with a taser.”

In his letter, officer Vernon writes, “I struggle daily with the emotional anxiety of having survived such a traumatic event, but I also struggle with the anxiety of hearing those who continue to downplay the events of that day, and those who would ignore them altogether with their lack of acknowledgement.”

His letter is a stark reminder of the plain facts of the events of that day.

His attackers were not foreign terrorists, they were as fellow Americans incited to insurrection and violence by the then president of the United States.

end quotes

So, on 27 July 2021, when Bennie Thompson, the DEMOCRAT GRAND INQUISITOR, tells us that “And while we have a lot to uncover, there are a few things we already know,” and “We know that the insurrection on January 6th was a violent attack that involved vicious assault on law enforcement,” his source of information is Zoe Lofgren, a member of his own committee, which is how the Democrats play this BULL**** game they are playing here, acting as judge and jury, charging people with criminal conduct, as if it were they who were a grand jury, which is a TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE (a debased, distorted, or grossly inferior imitation) which impacts on us all, because if these DEMOCRAT WITCH HUNTERS can pin crimes on one American, be it someone as reviled as Donald Trump, they can then do it to any of us and all of us, and that people, is known as a TYRANNY!

Hence my speaking out in here, and thank God there is a Cape Charles Mirror to speak out in, or this crap would go totally unchallenged in the complaint, captive main-stream media which writes it down as directed to by the Democrats!

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 3, 2021 AT 6:02 PM

Paul Plante says:

And while we are on the subject of WITCH HUNTS and WHITEWASHS and COVER-UPS, and ACCOUNTABILITY, as in who really bears responsibility for the fiasco at the Capitol on 6 January 2021, at a time when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, and thus, according to Rule 3, Control of Capitol facilities, of the 115th Congress, 2d Session House Document No. 115–177, RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES ONE HUNDRED SIXTEENTH CONGRESS, had general control of the Hall of the House, the corridors and passages in the part of the Capitol assigned to the use of the House, and the disposal of unappropriated rooms in that part of the Capitol on 6 January 2021, to dig through this mountain of BULL**** we are being presented with here by Nancy Pelosi and Zoe Lofgren and Bennie Thompson and the WITCH HUNTERS as they do a SHIFTING OF THE BLAME off of Nancy Pelosi and Zoe Lofgren as a part of their mission to conduct a thorough COVER-UP to protect Nancy, we need to once again go back to May 10, 2021, and the opening statement on the record of Rodney Davis, the ranking Republican on what is otherwise a committee packed with Democrats, including Jamie Raskin and Peter Aguilar, who are also some of Bennie Thompson’s WITCH HUNTERS, where we have as follows:

Mr. Davis: Thank you, chairperson Lofgren, and thank you to our witness, Mr. Bolton for being here again.

I continue to be extremely concerned about the USCP’s limited intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities.

If we have the intelligence about an attack or threat against a member of Congress or against the Capitol complex, but do not have the correct policies or people in place to properly gather, interpret and operationalize that Intel, then what’s the point?

While I’m happy to chat with Mr. Bolton again, I’m disappointed the committee has not yet publicly heard from Chief Pitman or anyone else who are responsible for implementing these recommendations.

Also brings me to my next point, and that’s the need for this committee to hear from the full Capitol police board.

As I’ve mentioned several times before, the board has a ton of power over the USCP.

Therefore I think it’s imperative, and it looks like it’s going to happen, that this committee is going to hear from the entire board.

Just so everybody’s aware, according to the congressional research service, the entire board hasn’t appeared before congressional oversight in the House since 1945.

That’s 76 years.

As Mr. Bolton also noted in a previous hearing, there’s little to no oversight of the board, which makes the majority of security decisions on Capitol hill.

I believe the oversight and accountability is desperately needed, and I think this committee could work together to provide it.

end quotes

HUH?

What’s this now?

As Inspector General noted in a previous hearing before Zoe Lofgren’s House Administration Committee, there’s little to no oversight of the Capitol Police Board, which makes the majority of security decisions on Capitol hill?

What’s up with that now?

According to the Congressional Research Service, the entire Capitol Police Board hasn’t appeared before congressional oversight in the House since 1945, which is 76 years?

But how can that possibly be, people?

I mean, seriously, people, we are talking about what appears to be some very serious dereliction of duty on the part of Zoe Lofgren’s House Administration Committee, which includes WITCH HUNTERS Peter Agular and Jamie Raskin, who is the DEMOCRAT CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR who not only failed to get a conviction of Trump on impeachment charges for inciting insurrection, the same charges he is again facing before Bennie Thompson’s KANGAROO COURT, but further either failed to bring the charges before a federal grand jury to get an indictment of Trump for the federal crime of insurrection, or failed to get the indictment after Trump peacefully transferred power to Joe Biden on 20 January 2021, the only day in our Constitutional system when presidential power is transferred, despite any horse**** Bennie Thompson was trying to feed us on 27 July 2021, when he stated on the record that “We (Nancy Pelosi, Bennie Thompson, Elaine Luria, Zoe Lofgren and the Democrat Party) know that men and women who stormed the Capitol wanted to derail the peaceful transfer of power in this country,” which is hog**** all the way around, given that none of those Democrats know what was in the mind of anyone on that day, while we do, in the case of the so-called “Q-ANON COWBOY,” who came to the capitol on 6 January 2021 looking like the lunatic he is in real life, as we see in the Business Insider article “The ‘QAnon Shaman’ is in plea negotiations after being diagnosed with mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, report says” by Kelsey Vlamis on July 25, 2021, where we learned as follows concerning this “insurrectionist” as follows, to wit:

The Capitol-riot suspect known as the “QAnon Shaman” is in plea negotiations after being diagnosed with mental illnesses while in prison, his attorney told Reuters on Thursday.

Jacob Chansley became one of the most visible people from the January 6 attack, when he was pictured inside the chambers of Congress shirtless, wearing a fur headdress with horns and red, white, and blue face paint.

He was arrested in January on six charges, including disorderly conduct and violent entry.

He has denied the charges.

His lawyer, Albert Watkins, told Reuters that the Federal Bureau of Prisons had diagnosed Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.

Watkins said the Bureau of Prisons’ evaluation also found that Chansley’s mental health had declined while he was kept in solitary confinement in a Virginia jail.

Chansley is now seeking a plea deal, in which he could plead guilty to a less serious charge in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence, Reuters reported.

end quotes

Hmmmmm, nothing about an insurrection, because there wasn’t one, and nothing about this “Q-ANON COWBOY” trying to derail the peaceful transfer of power in this country, because there was no transfer of power on 6 January 2021, which makes Bennie Thompson sound like an ignorant moron for claiming there was one on 6 January 2021.

And Bennie knows what was going on in the mind of somebody with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety?

Yeah, right, and good luck with that, which takes us back to operative reality and the fact that according to her own published bio, in 2019, Zoe was appointed Chairperson of the Committee on House Administration by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and confirmed unanimously by the House Democratic Caucus, so she has no excuse for that failure to provide oversight of the Capitol Police Board, and as to a WHITEWASH (deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about someone or something) involving Zoe, the Chair of the Committee on House Administration, we have this from her committee’s website, to wit:

Capitol Security

The security of the Capitol Complex has become an even higher priority since the devastating attacks of September 11, 2001.

The House Administration Committee, which oversees security on the House side of the Capitol Complex, works closely with the Capitol Police to ensure that every effort is made to keep the Capitol Complex extremely secure while maintaining accessibility for the millions of constituents who visit every year.

end quotes

Except as we all know, on 6 January 2021, the capitol was not secure at all, so that seems to be in the nature of a deliberate falsehood Zoe is peddling there, and that takes us to the HOUSE ETHICS MANUAL, COMMITTEE ON STANDARDS OF OFFICIAL CONDUCT, which rules should apply to Nancy Pelosi, Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney, Elaine Luria, Pete Aguilar, Zoe Lofgren, Stephanie Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff and Adam Kinzinger, although in truth, they all appear to be quite immune from the rules that govern others, probably because of their moral superiority, where we have as follows, to wit:

General Ethical Standards

That public office is a public trust has long been a guiding principle of government.

To uphold this trust, Congress has bound itself to abide by certain standards of conduct, expressed in the Code of Official Conduct (House Rule 23) and the Code of Ethics for Government Service.

These codes provide that Members, officers, and employees are to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect creditably on the House, work earnestly and thoughtfully for their salary, and that they may not seek to profit by virtue of their public office, allow themselves to be improperly influenced, or discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors.

end quotes

So, people, think about it – if Zoe Logren’s committee provided no oversight of the Capitol Police Board as Inspector General Bolton is making clear in his testimony, given that Zoe Lofgren makes extra money for serving as chair of the House Administration Committee, is Zoe Lofgren working earnestly and thoughtfully for her salary, or is she ripping off the taxpayers, and now is using her position as a WITCH HUNTER to do some BLAME-SHIFTING to COVER OVER her own negligence?

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 4, 2021 AT 9:03 PM

Paul Plante says:

And here we need to go back to an Associated Press story entitled “Pelosi says ‘deadly serious’ Jan. 6 probe to go without GOP” by Mary Clare Jalonick on 23 July 2021, where we had Nancy spouting off as follows, to wit:

“It is my responsibility as the speaker of the House to make sure we get to the truth of this, and we will not let their antics stand in the way of that,” Pelosi said of the Republicans.

end quotes

Which inane statement by Nancy about the undefined “antics” by the Republicans takes us back to the Rules of the House of Representatives, which rules seem to be totally worthless, where we have as follows:

Committee on Ethics

3. (a) The Committee on Ethics has the following functions:

(1) The committee may recommend to the House from time to time such administrative actions as it may consider appropriate to establish or enforce standards of official conduct for Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, officers, and employees of the House. A letter of reproval or other administrative action of the committee pursuant to an investigation under subparagraph (2) shall only be issued or implemented as a part of a report required by such subparagraph.

(2) The committee may investigate, subject to paragraph (b), an alleged violation by a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House of the Code of Official Conduct or of a law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct applicable to the conduct of such Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee in the performance of the duties or the discharge of the responsibilities of such individual. After notice and hearing (unless the right to a hearing is waived by the Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee), the committee shall report to the House its findings of fact and recommendations, if any, for the final disposition of any such investigation and such action as the committee may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) The committee may report to the appropriate Federal or State authorities, either with the approval of the House or by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the committee, any substantial evidence of a violation by a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House, of a law applicable to the performance of the duties or the discharge of the responsibilities of such individual that may have been disclosed in a committee
investigation.

end quotes

So, with respect to these alleged “antics,” has Nancy Pelosi, to anyone’s knowledge, preferred charges against any of these Republicans to the Ethics Committee concerning these alleged “antics?”

And the answer is, no, I didn’t think so, because all Nancy is doing here is playing silly little childish but quite malicious nonetheless political children’s games, making these charges in public with no attempt to support them with any kind of facts or evidence warranting an investigation by the Ethics Committee, which is headed up by Democrat Theodore E. Deutch of Florida, which takes us to the government publication titled “House Practice: A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House, Chapter 34. Office of the Speaker, From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, http://www.gpo.gov, where we have as follows concerning the position in OUR national government that to our detriment as a nation and as a people that Nancy Pelosi presently holds, to wit:

Sec. 1 . Role of Speaker

The Speaker is the presiding officer of the House and is charged with numerous duties and responsibilities by law and by the House rules.

As the presiding officer of the House, the Speaker maintains order, manages its proceedings, and governs the administration of its business. Manual Sec. 622; Deschler Ch 6 Sec. Sec. 2-8.

The Speaker’s role as presiding officer is an impartial one, and his rulings serve to protect the rights of the minority. 88-1, June 4, 1963, pp 10151-65.

end quotes

Except Nancy Pelosi quite obviously is not at all impartial, and it is her intent with this KANGAROO COURT to crush the minority, not protect their rights, because in her little Democrat heart, she doesn’t believe they have any, or deserve any.

So she saddles us with the antics of her GRAND INQUISITOR/CHIEF PROSECUTOR/HIGH JUDGE Bennie Thompson, instead, who is testifying at his own hearing, amd who instead of giving us anything resembling truth, is giving us stupid, ignorant, moronic BULL**** easily picked apart and debunked by a seventh grade student, such as his comment on 27 July 2021, as follows:

We won victories and we’ve suffered failures, but the peaceful transfer of power has stood as the pillar of our democracy.

It’s one of those things we rely on, a safeguard that we hold close, because as heated and angry and divided as we may be, whatever victories we celebrate or upheavals we endure, we can rest easy knowing that when the moment comes, our system guarantees that one party will hand the reigns to another if that’s the will of the people.

end quotes

And there is some seriously ignorant BULL**** right there, people, because our Constitution says nothing about “parties,” on purpose, because factions were not supposedly able to gain control of all the branches of our national government as the Democrats have today, which brings us back to Bennie for this following spew of moronic horse****, to wit:

And while our institutions endured and while Joe Biden is the legitimately elected President of the United States, a peaceful transfer of power didn’t happen this year.

It did not happen.

Let that sink in.

Think about it.

end quotes

And when I think about it, what I end up thinking is what an ignorant clown Bennie Thompson is, because on 20 January 2021, the day the TWENTIETH AMENDMENT of OUR CONSTITUTION, an amendment Bennie Thompson seems pitifully ignorant of, states is the last day of a president’s administration at noon, and by noon on 20 January 2021, as a review of the news will prove, Trump was long gone from Washington, and Joe Biden was very peacefully able to enter the white house, so what is this drivel this ignorant Democrat clown is feeding us here about no peaceful transfer of power in 2021?

And then we have even more gross ignorance from Bennie, as follows, and before we go there, let us go to an Associated Press article entitled “‘We have to get it right,’ Dem vows as Jan. 6 probe begins” by Mary Clare Jalonick on 26 July 2021, to see where Bennie Thompson himself was on 6 January 2021, to wit:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Bennie Thompson, didn’t realize the severity of the Jan. 6 insurrection until his wife called him.

end quotes

So Bennie himself is a witness who should be called before a grand jury investigating this matter, which takes us back to that story as follows:

He was inside the Capitol, sitting in the upper gallery of the House, hoping for what he called a “birds-eye view of the process” and to be able to tell his grandchildren that he was there when Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory.

end quotes

Okay, people, so picture that scene – there is Bennie in the upper gallery of the House on 6 January 2021, so he could get what he is calling a ““birds-eye view of the process,” so he would be able to tell his grandchildren that he was there when Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory, and what pray tell was the “process” he was watching?

It would be the process outlined in 3 U.S. Code § 15 – Counting electoral votes in Congress, would it not, assuming that laws in this country mean anything, and what that law says is as follows:

Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January succeeding every meeting of the electors.

The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of 1 o’clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer.

end quotes

So as a member of Congress with Congress in session that day according to federal law, what was Bennie doing in the gallery watching?

Getting back to the AP story:

People are breaking into the building, London Thompson told him, and it was on television.

“I’m watching people climbing over the wall right now,” she said.

“It doesn’t register,” the Mississippi Democrat recalled in an interview with The Associated Press.

“I said, ‘You can’t break in.'”

“‘There’s police and barricades and a lot of things out there.’”

end quotes

Which then takes us back to Bennie’s testimony before his own committee on 27 July 2021, as follows:

A violent mob was pointed toward the Capitol and told to win a trial by combat.

They marched on the Capitol with the clear intentions of stopping the certification of the election.

And those rioters breached the Capitol.

They smashed the windows, scaled walls, broke down doors and invaded the halls of Congress.

It was a scene of violence in the citadel of our democracy, not seen since 1814 when British soldiers sacked the building.

end quotes

Which is hysterical hype, and helping Bennie out here, because he quite obviously wasn’t there in school the day American history was taught, the British soldiers, who were at war with the United States in what is known to history as James Madison’s War, burned the Capitol and only a torrential rainstorm saved the Capitol from complete destruction with the blaze particularly devastating the Capitol’s Senate wing, the oldest part of the building, which was honeycombed with vulnerable wooden floors and housed the valuable but combustible collection of books and manuscripts of the Library of Congress, then located in the Capitol building, and the heat from the intense fire reduced the Senate chamber’s marble columns to lime, leaving the room, in one description, “a most magnificent ruin.”

(A view of the capitol after the conflagration of the 24th August 1814, engraved by William Strickland https://www.whitehousehistory.org/photos/photo-5-3 )

But it’s America, so if Bennie wants to believe that what happened at the Capitol on 6 January 2021 (See stunning video of rioters inside Capitol Jan 6, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9WPuA6EUaw ) was a scene of violence in the citadel of our democracy, not seen since 1814 when British soldiers sacked the building, it’s his privilege, so long as we all know that is merely his opinion, a biased opinion given his mission and marching orders to pin an insurrection on Trump and the Republicans, and not a fact, or the truth, which takes us back to Bennie’s antics on 27 July 2021, as follows:

They stormed onto the Senate floor because they wanted to stop the Senate from certifying the election.

The rioters tried to take over the House floor for the same reason.

end quotes

And what the hell, people?

They stormed onto the Senate floor because they wanted to stop the Senate from certifying the election?

But there was nobody in the Senate chamber to stop.

It was a JOINT SESSION (a session of the two houses of a legislature meeting together and acting as one body) of congress, so they were all in the House of Representatives, where Bennie was sitting in the gallery instead of being on the floor, and that is something a seventh grader would know.

And one other note: again we have Bennie testifying about “intentions,” to wit:

They marched on the Capitol with the clear intentions of stopping the certification of the election.

end quotes

But in our system of law, which as a Democrat Bennie disregards, because Democrats don’t believe in our laws, and don’t feel they apply to Democrats, we have as follows:

Q: Is a witness allowed to testify to what somebody else was thinking?

A: If a witness seeks to testify about what someone else was thinking or feeling, no foundation is possible.

By definition, the witness cannot have personal knowledge of what is inside another’s head.

end quotes

So how is it then that Bennie Thompson can appear before his own committee and give testimony as a witness as to what was inside the heads of literally thousands of people in Washington., D.C., including this ******* moron (Climbing Wall FAIL at DC Protests Footage: Trump supporter falls scaling Capitol Building Jan 6, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_uKKY-_VpY )?

Is he GOD?

Or does he just believe he is?

Paul Plante says:

As an older American citizen who began learning about America as a nation and our responsibilities to that nation through our citizenship on the first day of kindergarten back in the 1950s, a time when ignorance was ill tolerated, unlike today when ignorance is so prevalent one wonders if that is all there is anymore, as I follow the news today, all these years later on a daily basis, as hard as that is to do today, given the gross ignorance and stupidity often contained therein, especially NPR radio news, all too often, and as I read transcripts of all these various hearings the Democrats have been holding since the unforgiveable happened when Trump beat Hillary Clinton in their unrelenting effort to destroy Trump in retaliation for Trump winning the election instead of Hussein Obama’s hand-picked lineage holder to carry on the Obama legacy, and talk about arrogance of hubris there, alright, as if Obama were some African chieftain who got to choose who he would hand rule of the tribe to when he stepped down, I am both amazed at and appalled by the pitiful ignorance and stupidity of the members of the House of Representatives we are stuck with in this country today, and I seriously wonder how they ever got in there, for who but a moron would want a stupid idiot representing them in congress?

Is it that we have become that stupid as a people over the years to the point of where we wish to be ruled by a circus of clowns and fools in Washington, D.C.?

In his political esaay “Cincinnatus IV: To James Wilson, Esquire” by Cincinnatus on November 22, 1787, we have as follows concerning the people of America back then, to wit:

I should be very unwilling to believe the latter, and yet it is utterly incomprehensible, how such a systematic violation of all that has been deemed wise and right, from which no other result can be expected, but the establishment of a baneful aristocracy, could have been recommended to a free and enlightened people.

end quotes

A free and enlightened people?

Well, where are they today?

Then we have “A Democratic Federalist” on 26 Nov. 1787, where we have as follows:

This is a most enlightened time, but more especially so in regard to matters of government.

end quotes

And as Democrat Bennie Thompson, head of the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS, is proving today, these are a most benighted (in a state of pitiful or contemptible intellectual or moral ignorance) time in regard to matters of government, which has been made a FARCE by the Democrats ever since Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election to Trump, which set the Democrats to howling and screeching and thirsting for revenge, and now we have Bennie Thompson as the DEMOCRAT AVENGING ANGEL whose terrible swift sword is going to remove the morally bankrupt Republicans from our midst, at which time joy will reign in the land.

In “Massachusetts Centinel” by Centinel on November 10, 1787, he talks about the “enlightened citizens of America.”

So, two hundred thirty-four (234) later, how on earth did we end up with somebody so ignorant of American history in congress as Bennie Thompson who on 27 July 2021 in his testimony to his own committee was telling us about people on 6 January 2021 who in his words were trying to “upend American democracy,” which is an absurd statement, and “rioters who tried to rob us of our democracy,” which is an equally absurd and bizarre statement, as if democracy were an object as opposed to an idea or concept?

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 7, 2021 AT 5:18 PM

Paul Plante says:

And while we are on the subject of this Pelosi-ite “selected committee” of hers functioning as a KANGAROO COURT, i.e., an unofficial court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of a crime or misdemeanor; which term comes from the notion of justice proceeding “by leaps”, like a kangaroo – in other words, “jumping over” (intentionally ignoring) evidence that would be in favour of the defendant, while Merriam-Webster has it as a mock court in which the principles of law and justice are disregarded or perverted as is the case here with Bennie Thompson’s “selected committee” of WITCH HUNTERS, to include Virginia’s own Elaine Luria, who has condemned the Republicans in Congress as being morally bankrupt, compared to the Democrats, or a court characterized by irresponsible, unauthorized, or irregular status or procedures, which this Bennie Thompson CLOWN SHOW investigating 6 January 2021 clearly is, let us go to the transcript of the 27 July 2021 committee hearing where we have committee member Liz Cheney testifying on the record before her fellow committee members, as follows, as the committee, pursuant to the directive of Nancy Pelosi to provide the American people, which happens to be us, with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth concerning the events of 6 January 2021, was starting its quest for the “truth” that Nancy Pelosi wants the American people to be fed with, as follows:

And people need to know the truth.

end quotes

Yes, people, that is Liz Cheney on 27 July, 2021, TWO HUNDRED TWO (202) days after Bennie Thompson’s wife called him while he was sitting in the house gallery so he could get what he is calling a ““birds-eye view of the process,” so he would be able to tell his grandchildren that he was there when Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory to tell him what everybody in the world except for Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney and Elaine Luria was seeing on their TV sets in their own living rooms, to wit:

People are breaking into the building, London Thompson told him, and it was on television.

“I’m watching people climbing over the wall right now,” she said.

end quotes

So given that live coverage of what was actually happening at the Capitol on 6 January while Liz Cheney was hiding inside, why is it that TWO HUNDRED TWO (202) days later, Liz Cheney is telling us we need to know the truth, when we already saw it live as it was happening?

And why on earth would we look to Liz Cheney of all people to get the truth from?

And here, let us go to the legal definition of the truth, given that we are going to hear this same Liz telling us about “rule of law,” as follows:

The question for every one of us who serves in Congress, for every elected official across this great nation, indeed for every American, is this.

Will we adhere to the rule of law?

end quotes

And the answer is in the negative with respect to the WITCH HUNTERS of Bennie Thompson’s KANGAROO COURT who have thrown RULE OF LAW and RULES OF EVIDENCE right out the window, which takes us to the definition of “truth,” where the word “true” is held to mean “conformable to fact; correct; exact; actual; genuine; honest,” while a half-truth, which applies to the work product of this KANGAROO COURT is defined as a deceitful act where only part of the truth is told where all of the truth will lead to a different conclusion, which brings us back in time to this:

“Donald Trump’s incitement of a deadly insurrection against the U.S. Capitol is without precedent in our nation’s history and an egregious violation of his oath of office,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tweeted early Wednesday.

“Fulfilling our oath to defend our Constitution requires that we act to remove him from office immediately.”

That is from the NBC News article “AOC says she feared for her life during Capitol riot: ‘I thought I was going to die’ – The Democrat said it’s ‘not an exaggeration’ to say that many members of the House were nearly assassinated” by Yuliya Talmazan on Jan. 13, 2021, and people, as far as Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson and Elaine Luria are concerned, that is the only truth there is, even though they have had every opportunity under the sun to present that allegation to a federal grand jury to get an indictment of Trump, and that is the pre-determined outcome of the KANGAROO COURT, which takes us to this:

The House is meeting Wednesday morning to consider an article of impeachment that accuses the president of “inciting an insurrection.”

end quotes

That is from the Gothamist article “Congressional Reps Were ‘Nearly Assassinated’ During Capitol Riots, AOC Says” by Sophia Chang on Jan. 13, 2021, and in fact, as a review of our history clearly demonstrates, Nancy and the Democrats did in fact bring an article of impeachment against Trump for “inciting an insurrection,” and they failed to prevail, because there was no insurrection.

Which brings us back to Liz on 27 July 2021, as follows:

I want to begin by reflecting briefly on the investigation that we’re launching today.

Every one of us here on the dais voted for and would have preferred that these matters be investigated by an independent non-partisan commission composed of five prominent Americans selected by each party and modeled on the 9/11 commission.

end quotes

Which would have been another BULL**** commission, and if our Liz, herself an arch patriot, really wanted “these matters” investigated by an independent non-partisan commission, after the failed impeachment of Trump, Liz should have very publicly demanded that the matter of inciting an insurrection be brought before a federal grand jury to secure an indictment of Trump on federal criminal charges, and if she or any other Democrat truly had evidence that Trump actually incited an insurrection, which would have been to topple his own presidency, they could have testified before the grand jury, and the American people would now have the truth, as a result.

But there is no evidence in the record that I have been able to find that would indicate that Liz Cheney or any other Democrat including CHIEF IMPEACHMENT PROSECUTOR Jamie Raskin, who is a constitutional scholar, ever attempted to get Trump indicted for incitement of insurrection, which is what they would have done if they were truly interested in RULE OF LAW, as opposed to a political WITCH HUNT and DOG AND PONY SHOW, which is what we are getting from Liz Cheney and this Pelosi-ite KANGAROO COURT, the report of which has already been written before the first hearing ever began.

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 8, 2021 AT 4:54 PM

Paul Plante says:

And while we are on this subject of “(A)nd people need to know the truth,” as if we were all stupid, ignorant morons incapable of thinking for ourselves and discerning reality for ourselves to determine what the real truth is for ourselves, without the need for intercession by this DEMICAN Liz Cheney, or is she a REPUBLOCRAT, let’s drop back to 10 May, 2021 and WITCH HUNTER Zoe Lofgren’s House Administration Committee Hearing on the January 6 Capitol Attack where we had fellow WITCH HUNTER Jamie Raskin, the HOT-SHOT Democrat CONSTUTIONAL SCHOLAR, said to be the sharpest tack in the box, the same HOT-SHOT lawyer who couldn’t get it done when he prosecuted Trump for incitement of insurrection before the Senate earlier this year, testifying on the record in that hearing, to wit:

I know that the Department of Homeland Security had identified domestic violent extremism, violent White supremacy, as the number one terror threat in the country, but were they just overwhelmed and stunned at the complexity and magnitude of the attack?

end quotes

And that business about WITCH HUNTER Jamie Raskin knowing that Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, which has CHIEF WITCH HUNTER/GRAND INQUISITOR Bennie Thompson as the congressional overseer, has identified domestic violent extremism, violent White supremacy, i.e., the ones Joe Biden called “DREGS OF SOCIETY” in 2020, as the number one terror threat in the country, takes us back in time to President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on 28 April 2021 where we have the following from Joe on that same subject:

100 days since I took the oath of office, lifted my hand off our family Bible, and inherited a nation in crisis.

The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.

Now, after just 100 days, I can report to the nation: America is on the move again.

Turning peril into possibility.

Crisis into opportunity.

Setback into strength.

Life can knock us down.

But in America, we never stay down.

In America, we always get up.

And today, that’s what we’re doing: America is rising anew.

Choosing hope over fear.

Truth over lies.

Light over darkness.

And, we won’t ignore what our own intelligence agencies have determined – the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism.

And my fellow Americans, we must come together to heal the soul of this nation.

end quotes

So when WITCH HUNTER Jamie Raskin, who when he was a member of Zoe’s committee on 10 May 2021 knew that Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security had identified domestic violent extremism, violent White supremacy, as the number one terror threat in the country, when he is then sitting as a member of GRAND INQUISITOR Bennie Thompson’s KANGAROO COURT, does he still know that same thing, or does he know something different?

And if that is the idée fixe (an idea or desire that dominates the mind; an obsession) of WITCH HUNTER Jamie Raskin, then how can he possibly be objective, especially when being objective would have him then crossing swords with Joe Biden, who has the same idée fixe as Jamie?

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 9, 2021 AT 9:15 PM

Paul Plante says:

And for a real good look at the purely partisan and punitive nature of this “selected” committee of Nancy Pelosi’s dubbed the “WITCH HUNTERS,” all we need do is go to the story in The Hill entitled “Jan. 6 Committee will reconvene after Labor Day — Republicans should be scared” by Brad Bannon, Opinion Contributor, on 08/05/21, where we have as follows, to wit:

More than six months have passed since Joe Biden took office after a fair election, and still, most of Donald Trump’s supporters believe the election was stolen and that their fallen hero won.

end quotes

Now, what makes this particular “OPINION PIECE” valuable from the perspective of contemporary history is that Brad Bannon is not just some schmo (a stupid person) or schlub (a talentless, boorish person) out there with an opinion about something.

To the contrary, he is nothing less than a Democratic pollster and CEO of Bannon Communications Research and he is also the host of a radio podcast “Deadline D.C. With Brad Bannon” that airs on the Progressive Voices Network, so what we have here is what is known as an informed opinion or an inside view of what is really going on behind the scenes with Nancy Pelosi and her WITCH HUNTERS whose only purpose we shall see is to bury the Republican party for good so the Democrats will have their THOUSAND YEAR REICH here in the United States of America with the Democrats as the sole political party, and thus, the party with all the political power of the three branches of our national government gathered into its own hands, which of course will be a tyranny, but that, people, is the natural end of democracies – dictatorship, which takes us back to the inside look at the HYSTERICAL HYPE the Democrats are spreading across the nation to influence the 2022 congressional elections in their favor, as follows:

The attack on the Capitol was more than a riot.

end quotes

And no, people, the attack on the Capitol was NOT more than a riot; it was an attack on the Capitol, plain and simple, and any attempt to make it more than that by the Democrats is pure BULL****, which takes us back to the inside strategy document of the Democrats to influence the 2022 congressional elections, to wit:

It was an atrocious assault against the American way of life.

end quotes

And talk about HYSTERICAL HYPE, people, this Democrat Bannon dude is a real master at the art, and no, the attack on the Capitol on 6 January 2021 was hardly an atrocious assault against the American way of life (a method or manner of behaving or living that is regarded as distinctively characteristic of the U.S. and representative of its values at the center of which is the belief in an American Dream that is claimed to be achievable by any American through hard work) because the phrase the “American Way of life” is an idea, and ideas cannot be attacked by rioters, no matter how hard they might try, so that is nothing more than a real stupid political statement to say the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol was an atrocious assault against the American way of life, when it was nothing more than a riot, like every other riot in Washington, D.C., including riots by BLACK LIVES MATTER.

But these are Democrats, people, and they are not interested in the truth or the facts, they are creating political propaganda, and political propaganda is based on THE BIG LIE, which again takes us back to that insider’s bird’s-eye of the thinking and machinations (a plot or scheme) of the big spider at the center of the web, that being Nancy Pelosi, to wit:

The extremists who attacked Congress tried to prevent the certification of the results of the election in which Biden earned a decisive popular and electoral vote victory.

end quotes

Actually, we really do not know why any of those people were at the Capitol that day, unless we have an actual confession from them, which takes us to another story in The Hill entitled “Virginia couple gets home detention in Jan. 6 case” by Jordan Williams on 08/04/21, to wit:

A Virginia couple was sentenced to home confinement on Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges related to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, according to multiple reports.

Jessica and Joshua Bustle were both sentenced to two years of probation and 40 hours of community service, according to NBC News.

Additionally, Joshua Bustle was sentenced to 30 days of home confinement, while Jessica Bustle was sentenced to 60 days home confinement.

The Bustles pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building in June.

They were facing up to six months in jail and a fine of no more than $5,000.

The couple allegedly entered the Capitol through the east entrance to the Rotunda.

Joshua Bustle appeared to film his wife carrying a sign.

Jessica Bustle also bragged of their involvement on Facebook, writing that former Vice President Pence was a “traitor” while adding that “we stormed the Capitol.”

During Wednesday’s hearing, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan acknowledged that the Bustles originally went to Washington to participate in an anti-vaccine rally, according to NBC.

The Bustles are not the first defendants sentenced to probation for their roles in the Capitol riot.

Anna Morgan-Lloyd of Indiana was handed probation in late June after pleading guilty to demonstrating in the Capitol.

She allegedly spent roughly 10 minutes inside the building, but didn’t cause damage or act violently.

end quotes

So the truth and facts of the matter are quite a bit different than this Democrat Bannon is portraying, which takes us back to his HYSTERICAL HYPE, to wit:

If the invaders had succeeded, they would have tragically upended more than two centuries of democratic traditions.

end quotes

If the invaders had succeeded?

Succeeded at what?

Tragically upending more than two centuries of democratic traditions?

What rot!

And here we are getting a very good look at the masterful use of THE BIG LIE by the Democrats as they create today the political propaganda they will be blasting the people of the nation with the closer we get to the 2022 congressional elections where the Democrats hope to deal the Republican Party a death blow, which again takes us to the inside view as follows:

The long-term implications of the attempted coup are horrifying.

end quotes

Now, see how slick the dude is here – he has now brought the word “coup” (a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government) into the narrative the Democrats are creating as a PROPAGANDA COUP to blast the nation with come November of 2022, and since there was no coup, or even an attempted coup, it must logically follow that there are no long-term implications, although there are very serious long-term implications if the Democrats should succeed in imposing ONE-PARTY RULE on us come November of 2022.

And here at that point, I am going to rest for the moment, to let the implications of the Democrat’s strategy to influence the 2022 congressional elections to sink in before proceeding further, and again, thanks to the Cape Charles Mirror for being there as a GRAND PALLADIUM OF LIBERTY so we loyal Americans who do not drink the toxic sludge known as DEMOCRAT KOOL-AID can expose this Pelosi-ite scheme to steal our REPUBLIC from us to make it into a DEMOCRAT TYRANNY!

AUGUST 10, 2021 AT 8:39 PM

And staying for the moment with this opinion piece in The Hill entitled “Jan. 6 Committee will reconvene after Labor Day — Republicans should be scared” on 08/05/21, which opinion piece is of value to us American citizens who are not Democrats and who do not drink Democrat KOOL-AID from the perspective of contemporary history because as was stated previously, the author, or holder of the opinions expressed, one Brad Bannon, is not just some schmo (a stupid person) or schlub (a talentless, boorish person) out there with an opinion about something but is instead nothing less than a Democratic pollster and CEO of Bannon Communications Research and he is also the host of a radio podcast “Deadline D.C. With Brad Bannon” that airs on the Progressive Voices Network, so what we have from him is what is known as an informed opinion or an inside view of what is really going on behind the scenes with Nancy Pelosi and her WITCH HUNTERS whose only purpose we shall see is to bury the Republican party for good so the Democrats will have their THOUSAND YEAR REICH here in the United States of America with the Democrats as the sole political party, and thus, the party with all the political power of the three branches of our national government gathered into its own hands, which of course will be a tyranny, the natural end of democracies – dictatorship – which takes us back to the inside look at the political machinations of Democrat Nancy Pelosi as she blatantly wields the United States House of Representatives as a political weapon against the Republicans to influence the 2022 congressional elections in the favor of the Democrats, as follows:

The controversy over the composition of the special investigatory committee demonstrates House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) legislative genius.

end quotes

And no, people, it does not demonstrate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) legislative genius, because as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has a set of duties and responsibilities that are well defined in the public document House Practice: A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House, Chapter 34. Office of the Speaker, from the U.S. Government Publishing Office, http://www.gpo.gov, as follows:

Sec. 1 . Role of Speaker

The Speaker is the presiding officer of the House and is charged with numerous duties and responsibilities by law and by the House rules.

As the presiding officer of the House, the Speaker maintains order, manages its proceedings, and governs the administration of its business.

The Speaker’s role as presiding officer is an impartial one, and his (her) rulings serve to protect the rights of the minority.

end quotes

Of course, this author of this political opinion is a Democrat, so our laws and rules are immaterial to him, and Nancy Pelosi, who is hardly impartial, with her rulings intended to strip from the minority any rights it might have under our laws and rules which Nancy as House Speaker disregards and runs roughshod over.

So we can clearly see Nancy Pelosi perverting the office of Speaker of the House, not displaying any “legislative genius” as this Democrat pollster would have us believe, which takes us back to the opinion piece as follows:

Senate Republicans left their House colleagues high and dry when they killed the creation of a joint committee to investigate the attack.

end quotes

House colleagues?

In our system of government, which is seventh grade civics, our Congress is divided into two institutions: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The two houses of Congress have equal but unique roles in the federal government.

While they share legislative responsibilities, each house also has special constitutional duties and powers.

So the Republicans in the Senate are not the colleagues (a person with whom one works in a profession or business; an associate or coworker typically in a profession or in a civil or ecclesiastical office and often of similar rank or status) of the Republicans in the House of Representatives and it was really quite stupid of this Democrat op-ed writer to conflate (to fuse into one entity) them, and equally stupid of The Hill to allow this trash to go out under its masthead, which takes us back to the stupid trash as follows, and this is where we get to see that this selected committee of WITCH HUNTERS have nothing to do with getting any kind of “truth” to the American people, to wit:

That left the House in charge and House Republicans subject to the tender mercies of the speaker.

end quotes

That left the House in charge of what?

Acting in the capacity of a federal grand jury?

Which thought takes us to another public document from the United States Department of Justice on Grand Juries where we have in Section 9-11.010, INTRODUCTION, as follows:

This chapter contains the Department’s policy on grand jury practice.

In dealing with the grand jury, the prosecutor must always conduct himself or herself as an officer of the court whose function is to ensure that justice is done and that guilt shall not escape nor innocence suffer.

The prosecutor must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges.

The prosecutor’s responsibility is to advise the grand jury on the law and to present evidence for its consideration.

In discharging these responsibilities, the prosecutor must be scrupulously fair to all witnesses and must do nothing to inflame or otherwise improperly influence the grand jurors.

end quotes

Now, if Nancy Pelosi was really interested in getting the truth to the American people, as opposed to playing her toxic and destructive and petty, vindictive and malicious political games, she would have referred all the evidence in her possession that Trump incited an insurrection on 6 January 2021 to a federal grand jury, and then we would all know the truth if Trump was indicted.

But that never happened, because Nancy has no proof and she has no evidence, and so she is going to have her WITCH HUNTERS fabricate evidence instead, to influence people going into the 2022 congressional elections, which actions on her part are not protected legislative activities, which takes us back to the opinion piece or political insider’s view, as follows:

The House under Pelosi’s leadership voted to act alone, and the majority gave her the final say on the composition of the committee.

end quotes

Said another way, Nancy asked the permission of the Democrats who rule the House of Representatives for their permission to make a mockery of due process of law and equal protection of law so she could use that power as a political weapon against the minority, whose rights as Speaker she was supposed to protect, and the Democrats gave her that power, which again takes us back to the insider’s view, to wit:

The speaker vetoed two of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) nominations, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.), who are ardent Trump acolytes.

At that point, the GOP Leader punted under pressure instead of going for a first down.

Instead of choosing replacements, he chose to withdraw GOP participation from the panel.

The speaker returned the kick quickly, saw the opening and ran right through it.

She already had used one of her choices to bring Trump antagonist Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on board.

She raised the stakes by adding another GOP critic of the 45th president, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

McCarthy’s decision to take his ball and go home created the best of both worlds for the Democrats.

The panel stayed bipartisan with two Republicans but there was no one left to defend Trump or the fanatics who assaulted the police and the Constitution in the sacred temple of American democracy.

The GOP hopes to weaponize the rising crime rate against Democrats to win back control of Congress next year.

But memories of Trump enthusiasts attacking the Capitol police will become 30 second TV ad nightmares for Republican congressional candidates next fall.

The carnage and chaos from the Capitol coup could seriously undermine the party’s law and order image.

If Republicans do manage to take control of the House after the midterms, they should worry about McCarthy’s capacity to act as speaker after Pelosi served him up on a silver platter for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Trump admirers should also be concerned about the next stage of the committee deliberations because the police testimony this week was simply an appetizer for the main course to be served when the special panel reconvenes after Labor Day.

end quotes

And there we have it, people, the Democrat’s game plan for 2022 laid out in print for all to see.

But stay tuned, because this story is just getting going and is far, far from being over!

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 11, 2021 AT 8:57 PM

Paul Plante says:

And to see why it is that Nancy Pelosi never attempted to bring Trump’s alleged “incitement of insurrection” before a federal grand jury of American citizens like you and me, let’s go back to the public document from the United States Department of Justice on Grand Juries where we had in Section 9-11.010, INTRODUCTION, as follows:

The prosecutor must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges.

end quotes

A grand jury of American citizens like yourself and myself is indeed an independent body whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges, and it is that independence from hack politicians like Nancy Pelosi to whom RULE OF LAW is a joke that scares the hell out of Nancy, because she can’t control a grand jury like she can her selected committee of WITCH HUNTERS to rig the game, which thought about rigging the game takes us to a CNN article entitled “Former Republican congressman to join staff of January 6 committee” by Jamie Gangel and Rachel Janfaza on August 6, 2021, where we learned as follows about the latest addition to Nancy Pelosi’s A-TEAM of long ball hitters and power sluggers who are going to get it done for Nancy this time after her other teams failed miserably not once but twice before to get it done, to wit:

(CNN) – Former Rep. Denver Riggleman is joining the staff of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, the third Republican that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has added to the panel that GOP leadership has attacked as a partisan endeavor.

Riggleman — a former Virginia congressman and Air Force intelligence officer who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump — will be a senior technical adviser for the committee, according to two sources familiar with the selection.

end quotes

Now, to be on this A-TEAM, as we see from the other members, it is not only necessary to be biased AGAINST Donald Trump, but to have given objective proof of that bias in the past, so as to have an established track record of TRUMP HATRED, which takes us back to the story as follows:

But as a former member, Riggleman brings a high profile, and his national security background will add additional legitimacy to the investigation.

“I have to say, doing this might be one of the biggest things I’ve ever done in my life,” Riggleman said in a video posted to Twitter Friday night touting his intelligence and data analytics experience.

end quotes

A big thing because it brings him to the notice of Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful woman in America and the world who can do his failed political career a world of good if he makes nice to Nancy and helps her get what she wants, which is a ONE-PARTY STATE in America like North Korea is a one-party state.

Getting back to Denver, the failed Republican, we have further as follows:

A former member of the hardline House Freedom Caucus who was first elected to the House in 2018, Riggleman lost the GOP nomination for Virginia’s 5th District — despite having the backing of Trump — in a convention last year after his decision to officiate a same-sex wedding angered some local Republicans.

end quotes

So the Republicans treated him shabbily and the dude holds a serious grudge as a result, and now he has a chance to help Nancy’s WITCH HUNTERS eviscerate the Republicans and put an end to them as political rivals for once and for all, which takes us again to the story, to wit:

“We can’t worry about the color of the jerseys anymore, or whether we have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ next to our name.”

“It’s time for us to look in a fact-based way at what happened on January 6,” Riggleman continued in the video, “to see if we can prevent this from ever happening again in the future.”

end quotes

Which is BULL****, people.

If the Democrats want to keep this from ever happening again, then what they need to do, and should do, to prove this is a one-party police state under Democrat party rule, is to erect huge concrete, unscalable blast walls all around the Capitol like the Green Zone in Iraq and have entry restricted by checkpoints with heavily armed guards manning them.

Ore they could try giving us an honest, efficient national government that nobody distrusts anymore.

That would certainly do it.

And to see just how ******* stupid Denver sounds there, let’s go to a POLITICO article entitled “Many Capitol rioters unlikely to serve jail time – The cases could embarrass the Biden administration, which has portrayed the Jan. 6 siege as a dire threat to democracy” by Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney on 03/30/2021, where we have the following:

Americans outraged by the storming of Capitol Hill are in for a jarring reality check: Many of those who invaded the halls of Congress on Jan. 6 are likely to get little or no jail time.

While public and media attention in recent weeks has been focused on high-profile conspiracy cases against right-wing, paramilitary groups like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, the most urgent decisions for prosecutors involve resolving scores of lower-level cases that have clogged D.C.’s federal district court.

A POLITICO analysis of the Capitol riot-related cases shows that almost a quarter of the more than 230 defendants formally and publicly charged so far face only misdemeanors.

Dozens of those arrested are awaiting formal charges, even as new cases are being unsealed nearly every day.

In recent days, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys have all indicated that they expect few of these “MAGA tourists” to face harsh sentences.

There are two main reasons: Although prosecutors have loaded up their charging documents with language about the existential threat of the insurrection to the republic, the actions of many of the individual rioters often boiled down to trespassing.

end quotes

Let us face reality here, people – the Democrats need these charges to be trumped up so as to be able to influence the 2022 congressional elections in their favor, but the Justice Department isn’t giving them what they want, which takes us back to that story, to wit:

“My bet is a lot of these cases will get resolved and probably without prison time or jail time,” said Erica Hashimoto, a former federal public defender who is now a law professor at Georgetown.

“One of the core values of this country is that we can protest if we disagree with our government.”

“Of course, some protests involve criminal acts, but as long as the people who are trying to express their view do not engage in violence, misdemeanors may be more appropriate than felonies.”

The prospect of dozens of Jan. 6 rioters cutting deals for minor sentences could be hard to explain for the Biden administration, which has characterized the Capitol Hill mob as a uniquely dangerous threat.

Before assuming office, Biden said the rioters’ attempt to overturn the election results by force “borders on sedition”; Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the prosecutions his top early priority, describing the storming of Congress as “a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.”

Justice Department prosecutors sent expectations sky-high in early statements and court filings, describing elaborate plots to murder lawmakers — descriptions prosecutors have tempered as new details emerged.

The resolution of the more mundane cases also presents acute questions about equity, since most of the Capitol riot defendants are white, while misdemeanor charges are often a vexing problem for minority defendants in other cases.

There are also sensitive issues about precedent for the future, given the frequency of politically inspired demonstrations on Capitol Hill that run afoul of the law.

While violent assaults in the Capitol are rare, protests and acts of civil disobedience — such as disrupting congressional hearings or even House and Senate floor sessions, are more common.

That means prosecutors and judges will have to weigh how much more punishment a Trump supporter who invaded the Capitol during the Electoral College count deserves than, say, an anti-war protester chanting at a CIA confirmation hearing or a gun-control advocate shouting in the middle of the State of the Union address.

Judges are also attempting to reckon with separating the individual actions of rioters from the collective threat of the mob, which they have noted helped inspire and provide cover for violent assaults, property destruction and increased the overall terror and danger of the assorted crimes committed.

That reckoning is coming sooner rather than later, lawyers say, putting prosecutors in the position of wrist-slapping many participants in the riot despite framing the crimes as part of an insurrection that presented a grave threat to American democracy.

Prosecutors have signaled that plea offers for some defendants will be coming within days and have readily acknowledged that some of the cases are less complicated to resolve than others.

“I think we can work out a non-trial disposition in this case,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Cole told Judge Dabney Friedrich last week in the case of Kevin Loftus, who was charged with unlawful presence and disrupting official business at the Capitol, among other offenses that have become the boilerplate set lodged against anyone who walked into the building that day without authorization.

The Justice Department will soon be in the awkward position of having to defend such deals, even as trials and lengthy sentences for those facing more serious charges could be a year or more away.

And prosecutors are facing pressure from judges to either back up their tough talk about sedition or put a lid on it.

Michael Sherwin, the former lead Jan. 6 prosecutor, found himself rebuked by other senior prosecutors and Judge Amit Mehta last week for publicly flirting with the possibility of sedition charges when none had actually been leveled.

Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler said he hopes that those most troubled by the Capitol riot won’t recoil at the looming deals for many participants.

“The punishment has to be proportional to the harm, but I think for many of us, we’ll never forget watching TV Jan. 6 and seeing people wilding out in the Capitol,” said Butler, now a law professor at Georgetown.

“Everybody who was there was complicit, but they’re not all complicit to the same degree for the same harm.”

A standard set of four misdemeanor charges prosecutors have been filed in dozens of the Capitol cases carries a maximum possible punishment of three years in prison.

But that sentence or anything close to it is virtually unheard of in misdemeanor cases, lawyers said.

“Nobody goes to jail for a first or second misdemeanor,” Butler said flatly.

One defense lawyer working on Capitol cases also said what many in the court system are referring to as “MAGA tourists” are almost certain to escape prison time.

“What about somebody who has no criminal record who got jazzed up by the president, walked in, spends 15 minutes in Statuary Hall and leaves?”

“What happens to that person?”

“They’re not going to get a jail sentence for that,” said the defense attorney, who asked not to be named.

“There is a natural cycle to an event like this,” the lawyer added.

“People will say it was the end of the world, then things will calm down, and they’ll begin looking at cases back on what people actually did.”

So there we have some essential background to consider, given that it is the Justice Department and grand juries that determine who might be criminals, not Nancy Pelosi and her pack of WITCH HUNTERS, but stay tuned for there is still much more of this Pelosi-ite FARCE yet to come.

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR AUGUST 13, 2021 AT 8:19 PM

Paul Plante says:

And staying with this CNN article entitled “Former Republican congressman to join staff of January 6 committee” by Jamie Gangel and Rachel Janfaza on August 6, 2021 in the interests of establishing an accurate contemporary history with which to confront the fake history Nancy Pelosi is going to have Bennie Thompson and his team of WITCH HUNTERS fabricate in order to influence the 2022 congressional elections in the favor of the Democrats, we have further as follows to consider, to wit:

“I’m (Denver Riggleman) happy to be a part of this (the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNT) and want to give my word to everybody that I’m going to do this in a way that’s professional, that’s transparent and that’s ethical,” the former congressman said.

end quotes

To which I would respond, that’s BULL****, Denver, and in turn, I would inform Denver that if he really wanted to be ethical, first of all, he would have nothing whatsoever to do with Nancy Pelosi about anything, because as soon as Denver got himself hooked up with her, his ethics went right out the window, assuming he ever had any, and if he wanted to be professional and transparent, he would go to a CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE legal review done for Nancy Pelosi and her team of WITCH HUNTERS, where we have the following legal guidance which is being thoroughly ignored by Nancy and the WITCH HUNTERS Denver has joined up with, to wit:

Capitol Unrest, Legislative Response, and the Bill of Attainder Clause

January 22, 2021

On January 6, 2021, a crowd gathered on the U.S. Capitol grounds, breached police barriers, entered and occupied portions of the Capitol building, and clashed with law enforcement.

The incident resulted in at least five deaths, dozens of injuries, and damage to federal property.

Members of Congress and the Vice President, who were counting electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election, were forced to evacuate in response to the unrest.

Following the incident, some Members of Congress and other commentators have called for accountability for the individuals directly involved in the incident, as well as for others, potentially including elected officials, who may have incited or supported the unrest.

Many of those calls for accountability raise complex legal issues.

As a recent CRS Legal Sidebar explains, the incident may implicate numerous provisions of existing criminal law.

end quotes

Referring to that CRS Legal Sidebar entitled “Federal Criminal Law: January 6, 2021, Unrest at the Capitol” on January 12, 2021, we find the following information on insurrection, to wit:

Insurrection: 18 U.S.C. § 2383

Federal prosecutors are reportedly considering whether a federal statute prohibiting insurrection could apply to the unrest at the Capitol.

That statute authorizes fines and up to ten years of imprisonment for anyone who “incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto.”

The statute also bars anyone convicted of violating that provision from “holding any office under the United States.”

The exact scope of the insurrection statute is unclear, in part because it does not define “rebellion” or “insurrection.”

In addition, there is little interpretive case law, because prosecutions under the insurrection statute are rare.

end quotes

So, Denver, dude, if according to the Congressional Research Service, your legal advisor, the exact scope of the insurrection statute is unclear, in part because it does not define “rebellion” or “insurrection,” and in addition, there is little interpretive case law, because prosecutions under the insurrection statute are rare, then exactly how is it that you and Nancy and Bennie and the WITCH HUNTERS are going to investigate an “insurrection,” when there is no evidence that an insurrection ever occurred?

And that takes us back to the CRS Legal Sidebar on Attainder, to wit:

In addition, on January 13, 2021, the House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump for incitement of insurrection based on the events of January 6.

end quotes

Yes, people, they did in fact impeach Trump, which was a cheap political stunt on the part of the House Democrats, and then they not only failed to convict him in the Senate, but further, they failed to get a grand jury indictment against Trump for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2383, Inciting Insurrection, and now, with these WITCH HUNT/KANGAROO COURT hearings, they are proceeding as if they were in fact a federal grand jury themselves, which takes us back to the CRA Legal Sidebar on Attainder, to wit:

Lawmakers and commentators have also explored imposing liability under other legal authorities, including by passing new legislation or seeking to bar certain individuals from holding office under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

This Legal Sidebar addresses one of the more novel issues that these proposals may raise.

The Bill of Attainder Clause prohibits Congress from enacting legislation that inflicts punishment on an individual basis without a judicial trial.

This Sidebar provides an overview of the Bill of Attainder Clause and presents certain related legal considerations for Congress as the legislature responds to the Capitol unrest.

end quotes

Which Nancy Pelosi and her WITCH HUNTERS are ignoring, which takes us back to the Sidebar as follows:

The Bill of Attainder Clause

Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution provides that Congress shall pass “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law.”

Article I, Section 10, likewise prohibits the states from enacting bills of attainder.

(Thus, there are two Bill of Attainder Clauses; this Sidebar uses the singular “Bill of Attainder Clause” to refer to the clause that binds Congress.)

The Supreme Court has described a bill of attainder as “a law that legislatively determines guilt and inflicts punishment upon an identifiable individual without provision of the protections of a judicial trial.”

Bills of attainder were common in England before the Founding, primarily targeting individuals accused of disloyalty to the government.

Bills of attainder were also used in the American colonies.

However, the Framers of the U.S. Constitution chose to depart from that historical practice.

The Supreme Court has explained that the constitutional prohibitions on bills of attainder “reflect the Framers’ belief that the Legislative Branch is not so well suited as politically independent judges and juries to the task of ruling upon the blameworthiness of, and levying appropriate punishment upon, specific persons.”

end quotes

And there we have it, people – what is causing the stench associated with the “selected” committee of WITCH HUNTERS Nancy Pelosi has assembled to do exactly that – rule upon the blameworthiness of and levy appropriate punishment upon specific persons.

So be scared, people – be very scared, because when that can happen with impunity (exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action) as it is happening here right before our eyes without a peep from the media, a toothless old watchdog asleep and drooling and dreaming on a rug on the floor, we are on a very slippery slope indeed.
