American People Don’t Care About January 6th Hearings

So you claim. Guess the 9/11 commission was political theater, too.

Legally, this is false. I'll grant it would be difficult to prosecute someone but, as I understand it, pleading the Fifth when you are innocent -- that testifying does not implicate you -- can lead to an Obstruction of Justice charge, if not perjury. Additionally, the lawyers who were advising you and allowed you to plead the Fifth would be sanctioned and likely disbarred.

It's too bad when people make up things about the law.

After reading this, from a legal firm. Exactly where does the fifth have anything to say about guilt or innocence? It doesn't .... anyone can plead the 5th under this explanation by two prominent lawyers. .

The Fifth Amendment can be invoked only in certain situations.

An individual can only invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to a communication that is compelled, such as through a subpoena or other legal process.

The communication must also be testimonial in nature. In other words, it must relate to either express or implied assertions of fact or belief. For example, a nod would be considered a testimonial communication for purposes of the Fifth Amendment. So would the act of producing documents or any other piece of evidence; the act of production communicates an implied assertion that the individual possessed the evidence.

Finally, the testimony must be self-incriminating, such that the information would provide a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the individual for a crime. Thus, the information itself need not be incriminating; it suffices that the information would lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence.

In this circus of a committee, anything can be construed as evidence. It's too bad the committee is nothing more than a pillow fight . They have no power.

Great. I will not be watching it.

Yes, it would be a crying shame to despoil such pristine ignorance. You wouldn't even guess that the major testimony is coming from Republicans.

The shame? There is not one thing proven so far that provides a route to indictment. Keep wishing, after all, maybe it is cover for years of Russian fantasy the left carried for the entire Trump Presidency. All that fraud, just to learn that Hillary paid for it all.

What? I'm referring to a poster's refusal to watch any part of the hearings yet feeling competent to comment on same.

A lot of convictions came from that Russian fantasy. You know what really fueled suspicion? Trump and his family and campaign lying about meeting and dealing with Russians. Trump himself wrote the letter saying that Don Junior met with the Russians to discuss adoptions.

Understand .....However, trump's dealing with Russia and the likelihood of building a Moscow version of Trump Towers has nothing to do with what was being claimed by the left during his Presidency.

What will be investigated? Biden and his denial about China, Ukraine and Russia. That trial will be absolute and the end will be a resignation claiming to be medically unfit for office.

When Pelosi said that two were unacceptable because they were likely witnesses,

You know who else is a likely witness? You guessed it! Nancy Pelosi!

Sure, why not? You know that this is spite and deflection, but why not.

How so? What did the Speaker have to do with the Jan 6 coup attempt?

You know very well she did not participate. If this is yet another attempt to blame the lack of National Guard on her somehow, do you really need that explained to you yet again?

I know this article speaks true to me. We all have more important things to worry about.

We have problems that are shared by many other nations.

They are primarily caused by supply chain issues and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I don't change my vote because times are hard. I try to assess who can get us back on track.

Having a government that was elected honestly and officials who abide by the law is a baseline for recovery.

A nation has to protect itself from domestic terrorists and insurrection so it can be strong enough to attack its problems.

I watch. I believe. I admire those in both parties who pursue the truth.

I don't assume you'd change your vote at all regardless of the times.

While I disagree with your speculation, I guess (based on your idea) that she isn't on the committee. If Pelosi is called, then they should call Mitch McConnell, as well.

Sure. But as you know, this isn't about finding answers.

Because the GOP doesn't want answers?

No, most of us don't understand this. Many of us will actually watch and see what comes out of it. What is obvious, though, is that Republican's appear to be very afraid of what actual answers will be found and are doing everything they can to deny, distract, and deflect.

Nobody wants answers. They want distractions.

What is interesting is that, thanks to Kinzinger and Cheney, the committee us bipartisan, but because McCarthy choices were refused every member us serious.
In the impeachment hearings, it ran like vaudeville, with clowns in between the main acts chasing around the stage.
There are no clowns.

What is obvious is nothing about these hearings are going to accomplish anything but distract American voters for a short time. Sure, they may incarcerate a couple pawns to keep the liberal masses fawning. But nothing more.

What are we bring distracted from?The Supreme Court dismantling democracy? Keep on dreaming.

We haven't forgotten that happened due to two presidents who lost the popular vote.

No they don't. Do you hate the Truth and love lies? No. So try to see others as yourself. Objectively speaking, everyone wants answers except those who want ignorance.
