Twice, Speaker Pelosi sent Articles of Impeachment to the Senate while knowing full well these papers would arrive there dead.
She did so nevertheless with the political purpose of preventing President Trump from his re-election.
Let us also recall the stunt she carried out on television by tearing in half her copy of the speech of President Trump. Her crude political hatred of the man evidenced itself in this utter public disdain of him.
So, why would any informed individual expect the January 6th committee to do any less under the thumb of Speaker Pelosi, to smear President Trump?

1. Why for the first time in history did Speaker Pelosi forbid the House Minority Leader’s nominees to a special House committee? Only two Republicans served who would be out of office come January 2023; and they both despised Trump and voted for the second Trump impeachment.
Why did Pelosi ensure that there would be no cross-examinations of any witnesses, no disagreements about witness lists, no contrasting interviews to the media about the work of the committee, and no diversity in staff interrogatories.
2. Why did the Committee not investigate whether the FBI had numerous agents and informants present on January 6th?
3. Why did the Committee not review the circumstances in detail of the deaths of Officer Brian Sicknick and the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt? Babbitt’s perhaps was the only violent death at the direct hand of a known other.
4. Why did the Committee not investigate and release all the communications between Pelosi and the Capitol police to learn why the Capitol was virtually open and unsecured on that day?
5. Why did the Committee not investigate all incendiary speech by major elected officials at iconic Washington buildings, deemed inflammatory and allegedly resulting in violence at a subsequent time? For example, in 2020 then Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer screamed to a large demonstration massed at the doors of the Supreme Court: "I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price”? “Hit you”? Did Donald Trump say to supporting demonstrators on January 6th anything like, “Pelosi and Pence, if you release the whirlwind, you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with awful decisions.”
Does anyone doubt had Trump said that, would he now be in jail for attempted assassination or insurrection?
Note that not too long after Schumer’s threats, protestors illegally swarmed the homes of Conservative Supreme Court justices, and most tellingly a would-be assassin at Kavanaugh's.
And Why did the Committee not investigate all organized rioting by activist groups that also damaged federal properties, such as in 2020 a federal courthouse that was torched and attempts to storm the White House grounds to endanger a president who had to be evacuated to the bunker?
7. Why did the Committee not release the entire 14,000 hours of video? Why did the Committee not release the full transcripts of those it interrogated, rather than segments they chose? Why not the conditions with which it compelled witnesses to make them appear?
Can any Libs/Dems answer any of these questions cogently? I will forward them to VDH in your name.
