January 6th Hearings New Revelations- Were American Citizens Deceived?

Most (if not all) of the House hearings on the January 6th protests centered on showing violent scenes at the Capitol, with windows being broken and people rushing through police roadblocks. Like many who watched the hearings and news coverage I was appalled to see the destruction of property, especially at our nation's capital. I heard on the news about this being a deadly insurrection, with 5 policemen killed, people trying to overthrow the government, and the event being worse than the 9-11 attacks on our country. Some in the media went so far as to equate it to our nation's Civil War. After hearing this side of the story how one could not condemn all the people who entered into the Capitol on this day, brandishing guns and threatening to kill our elected leaders. It seemed like a slam dunk...all these people are criminals, committed treason, and should be locked away for a long time in prison. Then the twitter files and more footage were released, and as the saying goes, there are always two sides to every story. As I started to hear about and see more video footage of what went on in the Capitol building on that day, I realized this administration was hiding something from me and the rest of the public. As disturbing as that day was, what was more disturbing was the exaggerated lies that were told by the House committee, the withholding of relevant information to the public, and the mainstream media's coverup and complicity in keeping other facts hidden from Americans. So, I came away with many questions (which I will list below), which makes this hearing more of a show trial reminiscent of the Soviet Union, where the accused are guilty before all the evidence has been submitted. Can anyone provide a logical explanation for these omitted facts? 1. Why was this fellow Ray Epps not arrested for orchestrating people to enter the Capitol? He was seen on video tape urging and inciting people to storm the Capitol building. He even lied to investigators under oath saying he left the area immediately, yet video showed him still there one-half hour later. 2. Why did Democratic congressional members like Pelosi and our Attorney General claim 5 police were killed in the Capitol building by protestors? Why did anchors at CNN (for one) repeat this without the actual facts? Seems to me this lie was used to make this protest seem like a "deadly insurrection." The only actual person killed in the violence on that day was by a policeman, an unarmed vet named Ashley Babbit. 3. Why was the security not more substantial? Why was National Guard assistance refused by Pelosi and the Democratic Mayor of Washington D.C.? Intelligence made it clear that the crowd would be huge on that day. Yet, the offer was refused, and police were overwhelmed by the crowd! And this request came from Capitol police!!! 4. Why have people who protested peacefully that day, with a legal permit, and did not enter the Capitol, arrested and held without bail? Why have other people who did enter the Capitol, but caused no violence (unless you call taking pictures violent), still in jail, many for 2 years now? Does not our justice system require due process when convicted of a crime, a speedy trial, and the assumption of being innocent until proven guilty? 5. Why will this administration not release all of the video for public viewing? Will Schumer and other Democrats be caught in lies about how they depicted January 6th? From the recent video that has been released there are definitely some who are violent and destructive, and they should be prosecuted for their crimes. But other folks are just peacefully milling around, not attacking anything, some even being led around the Capitol like tourists by the police. Other than entering the Capitol without permission what serious crimes have these people committed? In closing, I did have my suspicions about the media coverage and the Democratic house one-sided depiction of the January 6th events. Now I am certain U.S citizens have been duped by lying and exaggeration on the part of the Democrats for political gain!

What makes it confusing is why all of the evidence was withheld from the public. What were the Dems hiding about January 6th? What was there real motive for the hearings? Why did they paint such a distorted picture of what actually happened? The sad part is people who support this administration don't want to know. Better to believe everything the mainstream media tells you than to question the motives. The administration says it's so... shut up and accept it or else!

I thought that the man who wore the cap with the horns on his costume was guilty as sin. After seeing the footage of what happened, I owe him an apology since the police escorted him into the Senate offices.

Totally agree George. He was a Navy veteran who clearly was suffering from PTSD or some mental illness and was a harmless individual. He caused no violence whatsoever but was sentenced to 4 years in jail without all of the facts.

Sadly, this isn't anything new. Expected even. It's always been this way. And if you trust everything you see on the news or read online, you'll never know the full story.

In this case that is not always true. The entire video of that day should be released to the public who wants to view it. It would tell the story more clearly and help vindicate many who are in prison who were nonviolent without due process. Why is it that during the summer riots where there was clear evidence of attacks on police, many if not all of these protesters were freed. Some of our politicians even supported starting up go fund me pages for bail money. Those locked in the Washington D.C. jails should have the same right unless proven to have severely injured someone.

There are always two sides to every story. Each side should be told.

Exactly! But under this administration only one side is told fully. Any questioning of their policies or actions as in the January 6th hearings is shut down. Instead, spread propaganda and tell lies to the American public with the full support of mainstream media. Hide any information that hurts Biden and the administration's decisions. And the sad part is Biden voters either are too dumb to realize what is going on, blindly believe everything he or the media says, or don't want to admit this administration has made mistakes that have hurt this country because they support him.

Yes, in my view the January 6th hearings were a sham aimed at attacking Republican voters. As I said in my post, a misleading show trial without all of the evidence. These people were found guilty without a trial even. Locking up people for opposing political views is something you see in Russia or China or North Korea, or Ukraine. It's not supposed to be this way in the U.S.

I think we both know some of these answers unfortunately. The truth will not see the light of day I suspect. So many lies are being force fed to the American people. I suspect Ray Epps was working undercover. If you dare mention Ashley Babbit's name, you are told she deserved to die. Can you imagine being her family and hearing this. No security was on purpose. Pelosi wanted the crowd to gather inside so she could call it a Trump Insurrection. The ones in jail have not even been convicted from what I understand. Can you imagine if this was turned around? Would not happen for one day. They would be outraged.

You have my full agreement there! And no one with any common sense could refute the questions I raised. They would rather be duped and lied to by the mainstream press and accept it as fact than to question it. We used to be a nation who was skeptical of things which did not make sense, but now, like a communist or Third World Country, we are dictated to by an administration who tells us to shut up and accept whatever is told us. Question and you are cancelled, investigated, and imprisoned. The typical defense from many is acceptance. Oh well, it has always been this way, there is nothing new here, so just deal with it. With that attitude you're giving the government a green light to impose whatever laws they want and to get away with it. We have a constitutional right to speak out against abuse of authority.

@dgobucks226 Common sense are the key words. Nobody in charge has this. And the followers have blinders on, believing everything. Question it and you are marked for life it seems. How dare you question anything. It does feel like a communist country, so unfortunate. I will not accept these lies. Not for one minute. I just hope for a new administration soon. Imagine what they can do for another year. Impeachment should be on someone's schedule of things to do very soon.

@CarolDM Your right Carol. People in this administration need to be held accountable for their corruption and incompetence. And it starts with the "Big Guy."
