The January 6th Committee Makes its Case Against Trump

In a systematic, thorough, well-organized, articulate manner, the January 6th committee has made its case against the former President.  Minds have been changed.  I don't expect that those who are loyal to Trump, rather than to America, will acknowledge any of what the committee has laid out, but that's not as large of a constituency as it might seem.  Will it lead to an indictment, a conviction, and the massive relief that would provide as people realize America really is a country based on the rule of law?  If it doesn't, then there's no justice in America.  

The organization of these hearings, the evidence, including witness testimony, corroboration and the identity of most of the witnesses, the soundness of the evidence and the whole presentation defies any kind of accusation that this is a "partisan" witch hunt.  Two Republicans, and Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are core partisans, along with a host of Trump inner circle loyalists and his own daughter, provided about 90% of the testimony and content.  It would be laughable and ignorant to accuse this committee of being a partisan witch hunt.  

So now we know.  The committee left almost no room for doubt.  

We Are on the Verge of One of the Democratic Party's Finest Hours

The future of American democracy and the Constitution of the United States is now at stake.  It has proven to be one of the strongest political documents in world history up to this point.  It has been challenged, and the challenges have been met with the enforcement of its principles as necessary.  It has held.  That's what needs to happen now.  The Republic and the Constitution need to be defended, and in the process, to be strengthened in order to continue to support the enduring foundational principles that make America a nation.  And doing that is in the hands of the Democratic party's leadership, including President Biden, the justice department and Attorney General Merrick Garland.  

I hope Attorney General Garland makes Mitch McConnell regret derailing his nomination to the Supreme Court.  I hope, when this is over, that they wish he'd been on the court instead of at the justice department. 

The Exposure of Republican Duplicity

Besides the former President, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy have been exposed as duplicitous frauds.  No surprise there, but now it has been put into a form that makes it very clear.  They actually looked like real patriots following the Trump Insurrection, defending loyalty to country and condemning the kind of loyalty Trump demanded from his followers.  The fact that both of them have withered and backed down under some pressure is evidence that they're more loyal to hanging on to their own power than to the country.  And that should be something that gets picked up and played over and over and over.  An intelligent mind with sixth grade reasoning ability should be able to figure out that it's not a good idea to vote for leaders like that who resemble Jell-o more than solid concrete.  

What's going through the minds of GOP senators and congressmen sitting there, listening, trying to figure out the impact on their re-election chances and how to disassociate themselves from the mountain of negativity without getting Trump angry at them.  I'm sure they're hoping for a Trump indictment and conviction to get him out of their way, though they had the opportunity in their hands during the impeachment and failed to show up for the fireworks.  

Encouragement and Support...

The Signal Press supports the Biden Administration and the Democratic Congressional leadership.  We urge those in positions of influence and responsibility to move quickly and effectively toward justice in this matter with the primary goal of indicting, trying and convicting the former 45th President of the United States.  We will use the means and influence we have in educating people regarding the truth of these matters and to encourage their influence by any effective and legal means.  

We, the people, expect justice.  We've worked hard to achieve it, and we expect our elected leaders to follow through.  Enemies of American democracy have been identified and credibly accused.  We expect the process to obtain justice will be followed.  That's why you received our votes.  We are expressing our confidence that justice will be served.
