CNN host Dana Bash grilled Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday over why the House Jan. 6 committee is not hearing from witnesses who counter the committee narrative about the United States Capitol riot and former President Donald Trump. What happened?
At the end of Schiff’s interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Bash observed that every public witness the Jan. 6 committee has called thus far only confirmed the committee’s narrative.
“Why aren’t you calling witnesses in a public way who might challenge the committee?” Bash asked. “Is that intentional, because you don’t want to deviate from the storyline that you’re trying to present to the public and, of course, potentially to the Justice Department?”
Schiff denied that it is “intentional” and claimed the committee is willing to hear from any witness who possess “relevant evidence.” But he did not state whether the committee has, in fact, heard from any witness who challenged their narrative.
“So, like, why not subpoena Mike Pence, for example?” Bash pressed in response. “I know you asked him to testify voluntarily. That didn’t happen.”
The Jan. 6 committee is not “taking anything off the table,” Schiff responded, “in terms of witnesses who have not yet testified.” He claimed there are several “high-profile” people whom the committee would like to speak with, but declined to identify them and whether they would offer testimony challenging the committee’s narrative.
In the end, Schiff admitted that former Vice President Mike Pence is “certainly a possibility.”
Bash’s line of questioning highlighted a problem that former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy brought attention to last week , namely that the committee is conducting its public hearings in a manner akin to a kangaroo court. As I’ve said from the beginning, they’ve got a very good story to tell. The problem is, they’ve set it up in […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
