The Jan 6th Hearings

I've been watching the hearings into the January 6th incident as much as I can. 

The impression that I have so far is that this has been exceptionally well researched, with the evidence presented literally destroying any claim by Donald Trump that he won the 2020 presidential election. 

More than that, it is becoming clearer by the day that he and his minions orchestrated an attempt to at least thwart a constitutional process in that country related to the certification of the presidential election in 2020.

The depth of the outright lies perpetrated by Trump's crew is breathtaking. Until these hearings, I had thought that some of them were just extremely deluded about the election result, as they had not had an opportunity to see the actual evidence that the election was conducted without wide-spread fraud. This is not true. 

Trump et al had access to much of the evidence showing no fraud before and while they perpetrated their lies. They were advised by official after official - almost all Republicans, by the way, and many of them actually appointed by Trump himself - that there was no basis to their delusions about the outcome of the election, with those officials presenting mountains of contrary evidence to them.  

These people were not misled; they did the misleading, and they are still at it.

Rather than support reality, Trump et al chose to manipulate some of the evidence they were presented with to create the illusion of misdeeds. 

For sample, they selectively released a 90 second video of the election count in Fulton County asserting that doctored ballots were pulled out of suitcases and run through the counting machines again and again creating 18,000 fake votes for Biden. This is absolutely untrue, as is made crystal clear by the entire video, which Trump el al had access to before perpetrating these outrageous falsehoods. 

This situation was debunked as early as Dec 4, 2020...

That video is 100% supported by the facts as they are coming out at the hearings...there is literally no evidence to support the Trumpian position, which is now clearly a concocted series of outright falsehoods.

Anyone interested in the Jan 6th riots should watch these hearings. There is none of the usual BS that one sees when the Democrats and Republicans go at each other to score political points. It is the best example of how things like this should be done that I have seen in years, where even CNN's reporting is slightly digestible.

And on that, why had Fox News initially not shown the hearings? What was Tucker Carlson afraid of?  Is it that Fox News needs to keep their viewers ignorant of reality in order to succeed in moving their agenda ahead? 

If the answer is yes, what, pre tell, is the Fox News agenda? What the committee is hearing and presenting is a slew of actual facts...why was Fox News afraid of facts?

The hearings have not really resonated with the American public yet, but they may be just one tweetable revelation away from blowing this situation wide open. Stay tuned.
