What the Jan. 6 Committee Won’t Say About Trump’s Election Challenges

By Mike Huckabee Published on June 21, 2022

The next hearing of the bogus, totally one-sided January 6 kangaroo court is set for Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Here are some updates going into Day 4.

The committee says it “will center on Trump’s attempts to influence state legislators to delegitimize election results.” (Never mind that constitutional scholars such as Mark Levin have said Trump had every right to appeal to state legislators.) Testimony will include Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and aide Gabriel Sterling.

On Thursday, Day 5, they say they’ll show Trump stoked “a violent mob and directed them, illegally, to march on the U.S. Capitol.” They apparently mean they intend to lie, because he did no such thing. And, of course, there will be no cross-examination, with the mainstream media reporting the testimony as fact.

Ginni Thomas ‘Perp Walked?’

Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, says she “can’t wait” to testify before the January 6 committee, which is looking into whether she had any role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. She says she wants to clear up “misconceptions.”

Perhaps she’d like to clear up the misconceptions at MSNBC. Host Tiffany Cross said,

I mean, listen to this, and I see this playing out and my question is, is Ginni Thomas going to be perp walked? Because she is clearly in violation of ethical norms and it definitely seems like it is a violation of the law.

Seeing Ginni Thomas testify before that group of low-lifes might actually make me tune in.

What the ‘Show Trial’ Conveniently Ignores

Let’s move on. A look ahead wouldn’t be complete without an assessment of the hearings up to this point, and Margot Cleveland has a must-read piece about what this “show trial” conveniently ignores:

the verifiable evidence of systemic violations of election law, illegal voting, and the constitutionally deficient execution of the November 2020 election — including issues Trump challenged following the election.

Remember Georgia? Biden’s margin of victory was only 11,779 votes. Before the state certified the results, Trump challenged them, claiming fraud. He alleged that counterfeit ballots in suitcases and tinkering with Dominion Voting Systems software had contributed to this, and also that tens of thousands of illegal ballots were illegally counted.

With so few votes separating the two candidates, Trump’s attorney said that violations of the residence requirements in the Georgia Election Code alone would have more than closed the gap. But Secretary of State Raffensperger would never meet with the attorneys, they said. In fact, his office sent them “a very nasty letter saying they wouldn’t give us any data until we dismissed all pending litigation.” When they did exactly that, his office withdrew the offer to pass along that data.

Trump’s legal team found numerous other categories of violations of the election code in Georgia but were never able to present their evidence in court, because the chief judge of Fulton County, Chris Brasher, failed to appoint a judge eligible to hear the case for a month. According to Cleveland, the numbers “far exceeded” Biden’s margin of victory.

The people running this kangaroo court would charge Trump with anything, even attempted murder — we all know they would — if they could get away with it, but they have no actual evidence.

When Trump spoke on the phone with Raffenspergers’s chief investigator Frances Watkins and famously told her to “find the fraud,” that was after Trump’s lawyers had already found enough illegally cast votes.

“Yet,” Cleveland says, “the January 6 committee and their cohorts in the press cast all the challenges to the November 2020 tabulations as crazy conspiracy theories of fraud peddled by Trump to steal the election.”

And under Georgia election law, if the “evidence established that there are more illegal or irregular votes than then the margin of victory, the remedy is a new election.”

Raffensperger told The Federalist last July that his office’s investigation “remains ongoing.” But since then, their calls to him and key members of his staff have gone unanswered. Since he’s going to be testifying Tuesday, that would’ve been a great time for Republicans to cross-examine him about this information. Oh, wait — darn it, there won’t be any Republicans there! (Cheney and Kinzinger don’t count.)

With the corrupt media’s cooperation, Cleveland says, the vast majority of Americans may never learn of the systemic violations of election law, illegal voting, and the disparate treatment of voters in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the latter seen most clearly with the infiltration of funding from Mark Zuckerberg to targeted Democrat-heavy populations.

In April of this year, Pennsylvania held public hearings about the “Zuckerbucks” phenomenon. They were looking at legislation banning outside money for elections. But Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed such a ban last year. (Surprise!)

Speaking of “Zuckerbucks,” here’s a new documentary for us all to see.

A Deranged Trump-Hating Legal Mind

Now let’s move from Cleveland’s fine legal mind to the deranged Trump-hating mind of Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe. As Jonathan Turley says,

Tribe seems intent upon running through the entire criminal code in declaring clear evidence of every federal crime by former President Trump and/or his family…witness tampering, obstruction of justice, criminal election violations, Logan Act violations, extortion, espionage, and treason…

In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Tribe has now added attempted murder to his list of charges. He says Trump is clearly guilty of an attempt to murder Mike Pence, on January 6, 2021.

Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day.

I am not kidding. Tribe said this is true “beyond any doubt, beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond any doubt, and the crimes are obvious.” Also, “There are other crimes that have been proven,” he said. “Those are plenty to start with.”

Tribe must be taking very seriously the hearsay evidence that Trump, in a moment of extreme frustration, said Pence deserved hanging. Turley says,

I know of no case where a speech of this kind was sufficient to establish attempted murder. Indeed, such a claim would contradict controlling Supreme Court precedent.

Turley calls Tribe’s “attempted murder” delusion “utter nonsense.”

The problem for the committee is that Trump never called for violence at all.

In Reality, the Dems Have a Paucity of Evidence

Turley notes how curious it is that, with the crimes obvious “beyond any doubt,” Trump has not been charged with them. It certainly wasn’t due to any loyalty or affection for Trump — they hate him. No, it was “due to the paucity of evidence of a crime that would hold up in court.”

The people running this kangaroo court would charge Trump with anything, even attempted murder — we all know they would — if they could get away with it, but they have no actual evidence. So the most they can do is call witnesses to trash-talk him during this show trial, just to damage him personally and politically. And they can hope their partisan hack AG, Merrick Garland, will just go ahead and charge Trump with … I don’t know, something criminal. Tribe predicts he will.

But you know it’s crazy when even CNN analysts are throwing cold water on it.
