Key congressman who investigated Jan. 6 evidence: Trump ‘not to blame’ for violence

Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) also slams Nancy Pelosi, warns Capitol not “in a better security posture” since the riots.

JTN:

A Republican congressman who spent months investigating U.S. Capitol security after the Jan. 6 riot said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump “is not to blame” for the violence that occurred that day and warned Democrats’ politicization of upcoming hearings has harmed the ability of Congress to improve security after the harrowing episode.

Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) the ranking member on the House Administration Committee, is a unique voice on the Capitol riot for two reasons: Trump has endorsed his opponent in an upcoming Illinois GOP primary, and Davis survived a prior act of violence targeting lawmakers when a deranged gunman opened fire during a congressional baseball game in 2017.

“Look, I will tell you, I don’t think we’re in a better security posture than we were leading up to January 6th,” Davis told the “Just the News, Not Noise” television show, reacting to a Just the News report Tuesday night that Capitol Police had identified 53 intelligence and security failures in a secret report after the Jan. 6 riot. “I think that’s a direct failure of Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats not addressing some of the security failures that happened that day.

  1. Then what is to blame for Jan 6th ?!?!
    Do you suppose it could’ve happened due to a blatantly stolen Presidential election, a derelict Congress and SCOTUS, and a criminally complicit Media ???

    Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi should be chained in an African brothel hut where Monkeypox is endemic. “In order to save our sacred democracy!!”

  4. WASHINGTON, D.C.—The nation is abuzz with anticipation of the televised January 6 Committee hearing making its prime time debut at 8 p.m. ET. To top off the excitement of the House select committee’s investigation, producers of the star-studded extravaganza have announced that Miley Cyrus will be the featured performer during the hearing’s halftime show.

    Other performers during the bedazzling spectacle will include Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Demi Lovato, and the ghost of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    “If you thought the Depp-Heard trial was exciting, wait until you get a load of this baby,” said James Goldston, a former ABC News executive hired by the Democrat-led committee to really “wow” the American people with a multimedia presentation aimed at objectively and judiciously seeking the truth of what really happened that fateful day.

    Republican lawmakers have pounced on the House select committee, accusing them of putting on a politicized, narrative-driven stunt rather than seeking truth. In response, GOP lawmakers have sworn to make their own January 6 Committee with cool, Republican members, lots of American flags, and a concert on Mt. Rushmore featuring Toby Keith and Morgan Wallen.

    The January 6 Committee said the opening ceremony of the hearing will include previously-unseen video footage of the Capitol riots, followed by a ritual burning of Trump in effigy.
