The January 6 committees wild goose chase of Trump

 Red States:

The January 6th Committee has leaked another claim that is meant to make it seem like the walls are closing in on Donald Trump. According to Liz Cheney and her cohorts, they have found “gaps” in the former president’s communications.

That was revealed by a report in The New York Times, the committee’s favorite newspaper to feed narratives to. The Hill offers a condensed version of the supposed findings.

Investigators from the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol have found gaps in the White House phone records on the day of the insurrection, reports The New York Times.

Investigators were unable to find the logs of calls by former President Trump during hours on that day when they know he was sometimes on the phone.

Well, that sounds damning, right? Clearly, Trump must have destroyed records and wiped his phone in an effort to hamper the heroic work of the January 6th committee.

Yeah, well except there’s absolutely nothing nefarious behind any of this.

There is no evidence that official logs were changed or deleted, the Times reports, and Trump often used his personal phone or those of aides for calls.

In other words, the call logs were not tampered with and this entire leak is yet another manufactured piece of “evidence” meant to bolster a committee that is, in reality, an absolute joke. Every “bombshell” that is dropped turns out to be a massive dud. Clearly, if there was actually evidence of some mass conspiracy, it would have been discovered by now.

Yet, the point here isn’t to actually prove the case that Trump somehow orchestrated and aided those who entered the Capitol Building on January 6th. Rather, the January 6th committee is another Robert Mueller play, dragging out a pointless investigation while leaking out of context information to make it seem as if something happened that didn’t. In short, it’s a PR stunt meant to interfere with the election in November, not actually find out anything worthwhile.

...

One of Trump's talents is to make Democrats crazy.  He has been doing it since the 2016 campaign and their response is to drag up false conspiracy theories to push their anti-Trump agenda rather than deal with him in a rational manner.  They want to use January 6 as an excuse to deny Americans the ability to reelect Trump because they don't think they can beat him in a fair contest.
