The U.S. House select committee probe into the events leading up to 1/6 and, of course, the calamity of the day itself is bound to uncover some seediness the likes of which we might never have seen.

This notion, as has been reported by major newspapers, that POTUS 45 urged the acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, to “call the 2020 election ‘corrupt’ and leave the rest to me” is of particular concern.

It suggests to me that this probe is going to grow many more sets of legs before too long.

The investigation must go on and it must be done fairly and without bias. Is it possible? I believe it is if Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., understands fully the gravity of what is at stake. He’s a smart man and he gets it. Of that I am certain.

There has been considerable reporting in recent days about the former Insurrectionist in Chief’s “coup” attempt and how close it allegedly came to succeeding. I am wondering, though, whether the closeness of that dastardly act is real.

Still, the notion that he would mount daily pressure on the acting attorney general to simply label an action to be “corrupt” without a hint of evidence is disturbing in the extreme.

Oh, there will be much more to examine.

The committee is taking a break from its public hearings. It is gathering evidence behind the scenes. It is mustering material to issue subpoenas for witnesses to testify. Would one of those witnesses, by any slim chance, happen to be the former Liar in Chief? Oh, I do hope that comes to pass, given that he cannot invoke the power of the office he once occupied to slither his way out of testifying.

This will be fun to watch. Yes?
