WASHINGTON TIMES: DAVID BOSSIE: The optics of the stale Jan. 6 hearings and pro-abortion protests
What a bizarre spectacle it’s going to be the week of June 9 when the illegitimate Jan. 6 select committee finally kicks off its ultra-partisan public hearings at the U.S. Capitol as left-wing civic unrest is occurring simultaneously across the street at the U.S. Supreme Court.
After foolishly raising expectations and delaying hearings for months, the infamous committee of desperate leakers and liars will finally let America look behind the curtain to see what they came up with. The hearings will be the culmination of Congress’ latest taxpayer-funded anti-Trump witch hunt that has interviewed nearly 1,000 witnesses, reviewed over 100,000 documents and come up with absolutely nothing new. After all, this is all about politics — and Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The anticlimactic hearings will likely focus on leaked documents and testimony that were first in the news months ago — with the biased mainstream media doing its part to make it appear fresh and interesting — but the American people know better. The real story of course will be unfolding at the Supreme Court with the pending decision to overturn the horrible Roe v. Wade decision. It’s there, that a mob of unhinged left-wing radicals will be threatening justices and intimidating fellow Americans who dare exercise their free speech rights by declaring “I support life.”

This will be happening a month after Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s draft opinion was illegally leaked in order to change the subject from Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency. Since the leak, leftist thugs have started showing up at the homes of justices who dare follow the law and the Constitution. We will see over the next month that no arrests will be made in connection with the leak and the liberal media will stop giving updates about the investigation because the identity of the leaker will damage their preferred political narrative. As Jan. 6 rioters continue to get the book thrown at them, liberal protesters and leakers are allowed to attack Democracy with no accountability whatsoever. The double standard gets more disgusting with each passing day.
The biased corporate media has gotten into an awful habit of covering the wrong story. First, they dishonestly covered the fake Trump-Russia hoax instead of the Clinton setup, and most recently they’ve been hyperventilating over House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy talking about former President Donald Trump and the 25th Amendment as they sit back and ignore the current occupant of the Oval Office who is unable to string simple sentences together. If there was ever a reason to invoke the 25th Amendment for a president, it’s right now.
The optics of the establishment media obsessing over the stale hearings we’re all in store for as the radical left takes to the streets in the name of unlimited abortion will be priceless. This will be happening as the Biden White House and Justice Department give a free pass to the mob of bullies, and as Democrat senators spew any angry vitriol they please without repercussion. But the Jan. 6 committee will be on prime-time television targeting Mr. Trump for telling a crowd of his supporters to peacefully make their voices heard.
At the end of the day, the Jan. 6 committee hearings are going to come and go. The American people already know what happened, and they don’t need a detached group of career politicians in Washington telling them what they already know. Hardworking American taxpayers are too busy dealing with crippling inflation and exploding gas prices and too worried about spiking crime and critical race theory. They want to know why Congress is wasting time attacking Mr. Trump a year and a half after he left office instead of trying to solve the real problems that Americans are struggling with every day.
This failure by congressional Democrats is just one of the reasons they’ll be swept from power in less than six months from now. The American people didn’t vote for radicalism, socialism or sheer incompetence in 2020, and they certainly didn’t vote for endless Trump investigations, but sadly, that’s exactly what they got from Mr. Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the unchecked left.
Throwing a temper tantrum over Roe v. Wade’s demise isn’t going to change anything. The liberal media let the Democrats have their way with America and now look at the shape we’re in. It’s time for a coalition of common sense conservative voters to put an end to the left’s absolute power before it’s too late to pull out of the nosedive their policies have put us in.
