Below is my column in The Hill on new evidence released by the House related to the January 6th riot. The J6 Committee fueled doubts about the official accounts by using only Democratically-appointed members and skewing the evidence. The new information further undermines the narrative pushed by both members and the media.
Here is the column:
On Jan. 6, 2021, the nation was rocked by the disruption of the certification of Joe Biden as our next president. With Donald Trump set to return to the White House in 2025, it is astonishing how much of that day remains a matter of intense debate.
Those divisions are likely only to deepen after a slew of recent reports that have challenged the selective release of information from the House January 6 Committee.
January 6 remains as much a political litmus test as it is a historical event. Whether you refer to that day as a riot or an insurrection puts you on one side or the other of a giant political chasm. I viewed the attack on that day as a desecration of our constitutional process, but I did not view it as an insurrection. I still don’t.
It was a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed. And that is a view shared by most Americans. One year after the riot, a CBS poll showed that 76 percent viewed it as a “protest gone too far.”
A Harvard study also found that those arrested on that day were motivated by loyalty to Trump rather than support for an insurrection.
A recent poll found that almost half of the public (43 percent) felt that “too much is being made” of the riot and that it is “time to move on.” Of course, that still leaves a little over half who view the day as “an attack on democracy.”
The continued distrust of the official accounts of Jan. 6 reflects a failure of the House Democrats, and specifically former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), to guarantee a credible and comprehensive investigation.
The House Select Committee to investigate January 6 was comprised of Democrat-selected members who offered only one possible view: that January 6 was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters. The committee hired a former ABC News producer to create a slick, made-for-television production that barred opposing views and countervailing evidence. The members, including Republican Vice Chair Liz Cheney, played edited videotapes of Trump’s speech that removed the portion where Trump called on his supporters to protest “peacefully.”
The committee fostered false accounts, including the claim that there was a violent episode with Trump trying to wrestle control of the presidential limousine. The Committee knew that the key Secret Service driver directly contradicted that account offered by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
While the Democrats insisted that Trump’s speech constituted criminal incitement, he was never charged with that crime — not even by the motivated prosecutors who pledged to pursue such charges. The reason is that Trump’s speech was entirely protected under the First Amendment. Such a charge of criminal incitement would have quickly collapsed in court.
Nevertheless, the Washington Post, NPR, other media and the committee members called Jan. 6 an “insurrection” engineered by Trump. Figures such as Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) insisted the committee had evidence that Trump organized a “coup” on Jan. 6, 2021. That evidence never materialized.
The lack of adequate security measures that day has long puzzled many of us. After all, there had been a violent riot at the White House before January 6, in which more officers were injured and Trump had to be moved to a secure location. The National Guard had to be called out to protect the White House, but those same measures (including a fence) were not ordered at the Capitol.
Two of the recent reports offered new details related to those questions.
One report confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest. The Jan. 6 Committee repeatedly dismissed this claim. After all, it would be a rather curious attempt at an insurrection if Trump was suggesting the use of thousands of troops to prevent any breach of Congress. The committee specifically found “no evidence” that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to be sent to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol. The Washington Post even supposedly “debunked” Trump’s comments with an award of “Four Pinocchios.”
Yet evidence now shows that Trump personally suggested the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops to prevent violence. For example, a transcript includes the testimony of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato in January 2022 with Liz Cheney present. Ornato states that he clearly recalled Trump’s offer of 10,000 troops.
Videotapes have also emerged showing Pelosi privately admitting that she and Democratic leadership were responsible for the security failure on Jan. 6.
Another new report from Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who chairs the House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, shows that it was the Defense Department that delayed the eventual deployment of National Guard in the critical hours of the riot.
The evidence shows that, at 3:18 p.m., Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy “tells sheltering Members of Congress that he is not blocking the deployment of the National Guard and, while referencing the D.C. National Guard, shares that ‘We have the green light. We are moving.’” However, the secretary of the Army’s own timeline indicates that the DCNG did not physically leave the Armory until 5 pm.
That was the critical period for the riot. Around 2:10 p.m., people surged up the Capitol steps. Just an hour later, McCarthy said troops were on their way. At 4:17 p.m., Trump made his public statement asking rioters to stop — roughly an hour and a half later. Yet it was not until 5 pm that the troops actually left for the Capitol.
The House is also under greater scrutiny this week for new information on the shooting of the only person to die on Jan. 6. While Democrats have referred to many deaths on that day, the only person who died in the riot itself was Ashli Babbitt, a protester shot by Capitol Police.
I have long disagreed with the findings of investigations by the Capitol Police and the Justice Department in clearing Captain Michael Byrd for this shooting. The media lionized Byrd and, in sharp contrast to other police shootings during that period, blamed the deceased. Again, an unjustified shooting of a protester would not fit the media narrative.
The concerns over the shooting were heightened by the Justice Department’s bizarre review and report, which notably did not state that the shooting was justified. Instead, it declared that it could not prove “a bad purpose to disregard the law” and that “evidence that an officer acted out of fear, mistake, panic, misperception, negligence, or even poor judgment cannot establish the high level of intent.”
Babbitt, 35, was an Air Force veteran who was clearly committing criminal acts of trespass, property damage and other offenses at the time she was shot. However, Babbitt was unarmed when she tried to climb through a broken window.
Byrd stated “I could not fully see her hands or what was in the backpack or what the intentions are.” In other words, Byrd admitted he did not see a weapon. He took Babbitt’s effort to crawl through the window as sufficient justification to kill her. It was not. And it is worth noting that Byrd could just as well have hit the officers standing just behind Babbitt.
The new report confirms that Byrd had prior disciplinary and training issues, including “a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon’s purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood.” In one incident, detailed in a letter from Loudermilk, Byrd was suspected of lying about the circumstances under which he shot at the fleeing car.
None of this means that Trump or even Babbitt are without fault in this matter. Trump’s speech was clearly “reckless and wrong,” and Babbitt herself was involved in that riot. However, these reports only further highlight what we still do not know about that day.

If only the liberal could see the future they envision where government becomes Big Brother, the overseer of truth. I am reluctant to offer a rosy picture of what’s to come if the liberal left continues to be dominating with unelected bureaucrats. They have captured the educational process and philosophy from pre-school to university and are waging a battle to turn our prophecy into perdition. I offer this as just one of many faults with the liberal left.
George W,
Well said. The upside is people see through them, their brainwashing and are beginning to avoid so called higher education for they do not want the indoctrination or pay the cost of that indoctrination. Just as many companies are ditching or outright firing their entire DEI divisions as they bring nothing but division and hate. Nothing adds to the bottom line.
If only we could send them into a simulation of said future, let them see just where they would fall on the new social ladder. These idiots talk a big talk, right up until it actually affects them personally (see NYC mayor under investigation from many Democrat angles for merely questioning The Plan).
I guess the equation should at least be Liberal + Adversity = Independent
“If only we could send them into a simulation of said future, let them see just where they would fall on the new social ladder.”
Orwell did just that. Didn’t help much.
Democrats and the lapdog media cannot be trusted to tell the truth, then or now.
They did this with Charolettesville where they allowed it to get out of hand and prosecute the organizers. I bet Trump’s admin could do an experiment with 100 actors or so doing a peaceful protest in a liberal bastion and I bet there would be a great chance of another weaponization.
“do an experiment with 100 actors or so doing a peaceful protest in a liberal bastion”
Maybe members of the original Jan 6 committee could be persuaded to volunteer in lieu of prosecution.
To anyone with a scintilla of discernment the Jan 6 Committee was pure theater and propaganda in line with the Mueller ‘investigation’, the civil and criminal lawfare against Trump and the ridiculous impeachments.
They overdid it and demonstrated they can’t be believed in anything. Every one of them is a strutting little Herr Goebbels.
Meanwhile, the inauguration can’t come fast enough. France and the UK are thinking of sending troops to the Ukraine. We and the UK have sent long range missiles to the war zone. Germany is planning on using public buildings as bomb shelters. [To the Krauts, how well did that work for you last time?] Today we learn Biden bureaucrats discussed handing nuclear weapons to Ukraine. They seem insane and have acted so in every respect through much of the Obama and Biden presidencies.
They risk war with Russia, China, N. Korea and others while our mutinous drag queen generals and admirals can’t even beat a bunch of scabby pirates in Yemen.
Tuchman’s “The Guns of August” and Themistocle’s “The Pelopnessian War” should be required reading for everyone in the upper levels of politics and military. Civilization isn’t safe when we leave grave decisions in the hands of ill-informed imbeciles.
The inauguration can’t come fast enough.
Throw in Churchill’s “The World Crisis” [WW I] with the reading.
Easy to get into a war — bloody and difficult to get out of one.
To quote Churchill’s exact words: “Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on that strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter.”
War and chaos have much in common. Regular people recognize they do not benefit from chaos.
Young,
Absolutely! It is race to WWIII, and Biden and company are leading the charge! The problem they have, is with the exception of some of those dressed in drag general, neocons, the MIC there is no one else behind them. Certainly not the American public with exception of a few who want to send others in harms way but wont do it themselves.
“Tuchman’s “The Guns of August” and Themistocle’s “The Pelopnessian War” should be required reading for everyone in the upper levels of politics and military.” That is sound advice to the sentient mind; it is a waste of time to the cultist. These progressives would no more take council from these tomes than an islamic jihadist would consider passivism as a way to achieve total control of the world.
Whimsical, I don’t know much about Themistocles, apart from a little about his role as a statesman and general. I always thought Thucydides was the definitive writer on the Peloponnesian War.
S. Meyer-
Thank you. I misspoke in my anger.. You are quite right. Thucydides was a general and later historian in the Peloponessian war. Themistocles was the brilliant commander who tricked both Persians and Greeks into the naval battle at Salamis which, of course. The Greeks won. Thank you for the correction.
Young, you said all that needs to be said. The left consists of liars and ignoramuses.
S. Meyer– “The left consists of liars and ignoramuses.”
And they seem bent on planetary suicide.
Strange to say it, I am hoping Putin has more sense than our lot and hangs on until the inauguration. Not to say everything will go his way with Trump, but talking and deals are better than shooting and bombing cities.
A lot of people could see the accumulation of dangers that could lead to world war but nobody seemed able to stop the slow avalanche of poor decisions though many tried.
I read that someone asked Princip if he regretted killing the Archduke and causing the war. He did say, I think truly, that the nations would have found some other excuse to war. It seems like the West is looking for excuses or provocations to ignite war.

If that in fact happened, Princip was 100% correct. At the time he and his fellow Serb fascists murdered the Archduke and his wife the entirety of Europe was a puddle of gas just awaiting a spark from somewhere to set it off. 1914 was a lull in a flurry of wars between both nations of empire and wars between nations with only territorial grievances and ambitions.
They might have backed off if they had seen what was coming, but the earlier wars were relatively brief affairs with comparatively minimal damage and casualties. WWI broke that forever.
An extremely lengthy and interesting (and incredibly depressing) history of WWI is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series on that war. He spends several hours analyzing the period of time that was the prelude to WWI. I forget how many hours long that series is with all it’s chapters covering the war.

Old Airborne,
I am not sure Princip truly said that, I saw it mentioned only once, but I paused and thought at the time that it was a true statement. There was the Agadir crisis that seemed close to igniting a war and there were many other indications that the bonfire was being assembled and needed only a spark, Churchill noted many dangers and tried as First Lord of The Admiralty as well as his office allowed to avert war. When news of the assassination reached the King of Romania he froze in shock and said it means world war. Not everyone was so quick to see it.
I think you are right that few knew how horrible it would be. They may have expected another short Franco-Prussian War.
Amazingly, about 2 years before the war Churchill prepared a cabinet memorandum predicting that the Germans would advance steadily until–I forget how many days–an opportunity to strike a telling blow would arise. When the allies were in retreat and despair clouded their meetings, Churchill pulled out his memo and urged them to remember, that the retreat was expected, and that perhaps the opportunity would come. Very near to the day Churchill predicted that an opportunity would appear the Battle of the Marne began.
Thanks for the Dan Carlin reference. I will look into it.
If the naval aspect of this war interests you read “Castles of Steel” by Massie. It is superb.
“Strange to say it, I am hoping Putin has more sense than our lot and hangs on until the inauguration.”
Young, Putin is happy to make a deal with Trump and is happier now that Biden allowed Putin to bargain harder after Jan 20. Everything Biden and the Democrats do becomes sh!t that all Americans pay a premium for.
Young, you probably already listened to Tucker’s interview of Putin. One need not believe everything anyone says but I found that interview provided significant insight.,
S. Meyer–
I did watch the Putin interview and lamented that we didn’t have anyone that smart in charge of our government–whoever he or it may be.
” I am hoping Putin has more sense than our lot and hangs on until the inauguration.”
If that does not happen, I hope that he restricts his initial retaliation with to conventional war head strikes on exclusively military targets in the UK. No great loss there, and maybe a very pointed object lesson.
Number 6,
He might, but he knows that would play into the desires of those hungering for war.
A direct strike on an actual NATO member legitimately triggers a response from the ‘defensive’ NATO members.
In the ramp up to WWI Germany did many things that increased the chances of open war, so much so that Germany can be said to have caused it. I think we have been doing the same in this case. One parallel is Germany’s ties with Austro-Hungary that essentially gave the Austrians license to attack Serbia, though that could not have been the original intention. Similarly we have broken our pledge not to extend NATO east. The Russians tolerated it at first, but Ukraine was one step too far. Imagine if Russia or China set up in Mexico or Canada.
Push your luck like this imagining that you can control events and some obscure incident may suddenly lead to chaos and death.
One usually thinks of Sarajevo but there is an earlier example closer to home.
In the Eighteenth Century when the great European powers were provoking each other none imagined that an obscure young frontiersman on another continent, deep in primitive American forests, would strike the spark that ignited the Seven Years War which many think was the true first world war.
That spark was The Jumonville Affair and the obscure young frontiersman was George Washington.
Sorry Professor Turley, you shouldn’t be drinking the kool-aid. President Trump’s speech was NOT reckless and wrong.
.
On election night, President Trump is winning at around 1 or 2 in the morning but between 3 and 5 on the morning, hundreds of thousands of votes are counted, primarily for Biden. Where did Biden’s 81 million votes come from (ballot stuffing, electronic shenanigans, fraud, etc.)? Based upon the recent election, it is pretty obvious that there were millions of phantom votes, for Biden.
.
The 2020 election still needs a thorough investigation.
@ Chopper “The 2020 election still needs a thorough investigation.”
It was stolen.
* evidence has been destroyed
When we crunch the numbers for every 21st century POTUS election including 2024 the proof stares us in the face. 2020 was stolen.
But, in a way, having the biden/harris as a 4 year debacle was the key to their own destruction and a flood of new faces in the republican camp. The left went a bridge too far this time and it was their undoing. If Trump had won in 2020 we would now be faced with the likes of Newsome as our new president. Be thankful that the left imploded as they did.
Whimsical: “But, in a way, having the biden/harris as a 4 year debacle was the key to their own destruction and a flood of new faces in the republican camp”
Yes, exactly said. With so much power in their hands the masks came off and America learned how truly horrible they and their deep state are.
And they kill innocent pet squirrels.

I wonder how many of those same people believe the occupation of a building on Columbia’s campus by a pro-Palestinian group also think that was a “protest gone too far”
Nevertheless, even a “protest gone too far” does not rise to the level of a riot, let alone an insurrection.
To National Public Radio,
I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.

No need for National Public Radio anymore.
Article 1, Section 8:
Congress may not tax for NPR.
Congress may not fund NPR.
Congress may not regulate media or broadcasts.
Congress may tax for debt, defense, and “general Welfare.”
NPR, media, and broadcasting are neither.
Taxation
To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, “to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare.” For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.
It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please.
– Thomas Jefferson
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
The entire communist American welfare state is unconstitutional.
The newly elected Trump Presidency, Congress, and Senate need to wake the —- up to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Individuals are provided utterly unfettered maximal freedom while government is rigorously and severely limited and restricted.
perhaps, just perhaps, we may see the court finally come to understand that and also that damnable “hate speech” legislation – which is an infringement on the first amendment – (crying fire in a crowded theatre be damned).
‘The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.’
Today’s communist Kluxxers in the DNC are never going to forgive SCOTUS for allowing the black Americans they consider to be their personal property to instead be free voting Americans who could run for President.
“No need for National Public Radio anymore”
When was there ever a need? What part of the Constitution authorizes the Federal government to broadcast domestic propaganda (even in its more benign days, that was its purpose)?
“In it’s benign days?”
That was a ruse.
“If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.”

“Babbitt, 35, was an Air Force veteran who was clearly committing criminal acts of trespass, property damage and other offenses at the time she was shot.”
Yea, those “other offenses” are insurrection and treason for which the punishment is death. JT is just to spineless to say those words. Don’t want to anger the orange felon sex offending rapist god.
No on has been charged with insurrection or treason. You are just to dense to know the difference between your fevered dreams and reality as us sane and normal people have to point out to you daily.
“No on has been charged with insurrection or treason.” So a crime is not committed unless someone is charged? What reality do you live in?
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a noise?

Does that Anonymous concept also include President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Incest Showers? Not even child abuse, much less rape?
The Big Guy whose hand picked Special Counsel from his DoJ said he had committed serial felonies over his decades in office. But he wasn’t going to risk his job and career by indicting his boss so he was going to instead put him on indeterminate parole?
Commander In Chief Mr. Big Guy, the Pedo In Chief never committed a single crime because he was never charged? Or he IS a criminal and we should know why he was never charged long before Trump came into office?
This is obviously a theory coming from somebody living in the very special reality of Soviet Democrat woods.
If a tree falls, the answer is interpretational as there is no one to document the occurrence so yes is an option based on supposition that any falling object will make noise even a feather. This is contrary to occurrences on January 6 which have documentation, and, in the opinion of law enforcement, were not insurrectional or tyrannical.
* the intent of the protest was to support Trump. The intent was NOT insurrection. Motive
The reality I live in, is where you are charged with a crime, you stand trial, evidence is presented, there is cross examinations of witnesses, there is testimony and more and a jury of your peers deem you innocent or guilty. That is how it works in a society of law and order.
However, in a society of woke leftist Democrats, you are guilty of something that they make up, they change laws, even the SOL just to say you are guilty, you are guilty of being literally Hitler or a Nazi and have the full support of MSM to accuse anyone of being Hitler or a Nazi with nothing to support their accusations. All very Soviet Union like show/sham trial.

Somebody tell Tara Reid that her boss that raped her when she was his Senate intern is posting here in hopes of deflecting attention from the fact he repeatedly raped his teenage daughter in the shower.
Or it might be one of his supporters that gets sexual gratification by imagining himself doing as The Pedophile In Chief did.
When I see comments such as yours I like to apply the other shoe test. If it was a liberal progressive person doing this would you apply the same standard? I ask bc laughably the number of tweets saying this election was rigged in favor of Trump and asking what to do about it. In 2017 during the inauguration, rioters protested and attempted to PREVENT the constitutionally required inauguration of a duly elected POTUS, by burning down and vandalizing DC.there are pictures. Insurrection?
So it was up to Byrd-brain to deny her right to due process? Is the best way to preserve democracy allowing police to summarily deny civil rights?
Pyongyang is calling you!
Trump for months prior to the election said if he lost it would be because of fraud. Prior to Jan 6 he called his followers to be at the Capitol on Jan 6 to “Be there, will be wild!”. On Jan 6, trump said many things in his speech to rile up the crowd…
“You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen.”
“if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore”
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Yep, he used the words “peacefully” and “patriotically” He also said he would be there with them. He lied about that portion, What makes you think he wasn’t hoping for violence while he said “peacefully”?
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.”
What did he mean by “we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them”? Was he again hoping for a bit of violence for his enemies?
Pretty simple to me, trump called for a crowd, he got the crowd, he encouraged them to be mad and do something about it, That something also entailed having his VP refuse to accept votes from states he lost thereby making him the winner.
That is the very definition of an insurrection.
All this BS crying in milk about love and peace is BS.
4 years later, you got your duly elected president. Let’s see how this term works out.
“Love when the old airborne virus tries to lick his own ass in public.”
Lucky for you to get that love. The only other love you get is from your nightly dates with the Palm Sisters as you split your life between the communist cult and the cult of Onanism.
We have far worse Democrat sexual predators, groomers, and communists insulting us here day after day who at least have the courage to do so posting with a username to be bothered by your pathetic attempts.
You might finally get something other than self-love if you try your act at Joy Reid’s blog.
Airborne Dog, you confuse “insult” with “criticism”.
No George, adding more lies on top of your earlier lies won’t excuse nor justify your directed deliberate daily lies and insults towards Professor Turley and the rest of us.
The audience rejection of this lie will continue as it did with all your previous lies. You are not convincing anyone. At best – AT BEST – you are only lying to yourself.
Wrong blog to get away with that; try Rachael Maddow’s blog if you hope to get some acceptance of that excuse.
While it is impossible to underestimate your failings as as a human being (much less an American), you have no excuse.
You cannot blame your conduct on your pathetically poor reading comprehension and total unawareness of context and nuance. It’s deliberate, not just more items on the very long list of your personal failings and inadequacies.
As I’ve said before, honesty, credibility, honor and self respect have been running after you your entire life.
And as always, you continue to successfully evade and outdistance them as they run after you. Your one success in life, perhaps.

Old Airborne Dog,
Great comment!
Upstate Farmer says Great comment!
Not really; no more difficult than clubbing newborn baby seals.
The hard part is being willing to spend the call them out for what they are every day. An annoyance, but as the communist Democrats have said since they started rioting and pillaging the very day Trump won the 2016 election “Silence is consent”.
Imagine if instead we could engage in provocative discussions and debate on issues. Discussions where we were dealing with reason and opinion rather than emotion to discuss different views on facts.
Airborne Dog, there is a distinction: “criticism” is not the same as “insult.” It seems you struggle to see this difference. Once Turley publishes a column, he opens himself up to criticism, mockery, and yes, even insults. This is the inherent risk he takes on when exercising his free speech rights.
Svelaz, who whines the loudest about being mocked, criticized and insulted.
Jonathan: Why do you continue to attack the bipartisan work of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee and its report? I won’t dwell on all your false claims–except for one.
“Bipartisan”… Dennis, why do you come here every day to first insult your host (and supposedly good friend) Professor Turley? And then insult both Professor Turley and the normal Americans in his audience with your daily litany of rage filled lies of commission, omission and dissembling?
Just like your fellow apparatchiks George and Gigi, Professor Turley is malevolently always wrong with his analysis. You on the other hand are always right as you come here to do God’s work telling Professor Turley and his audience that they are wrong.
You haven’t changed a single mind here. You have no support. You and your encyclopedia of lies and insults are swiftly rejected from the moment you drop each one of your daily deuces.
Your awareness at your complete rejection by readers here is evident in your cowardice: after dropping each deuce, you slither as fast as possible back into whatever fetid dark lair you exist before making your next appearance to drop another one of your deuces.
So: like George, Gigi and Wally, given your complete failure and rejection of your daily deuces full of Bull Schiff, we are left with the question:
What motivates you to come here so obsessively to lie about and to your host here, Professor Turley? To falsely insinuate he is your friend?
Dennis… is this the only way you can find any sense of self worth?
Or is this perhaps some sort of weird sexual fetish and self-gratification? (Ewwwwww…. are we all involuntary participants in that wet dream?)
At least tell us why you do this to your host and the rest of us multiple times a day, Dennis, you cheap fake American communist.
The DOJ knows who planted the pipe bomb.
The individuals involved should lawyer up; the whistleblowers will be lining up.
“The DOJ knows who planted the pipe bomb.”
Yeah. One of their own. Garland won’t be advancing any prosecution, and might well destroy the evidence on his way out the door.
Jonathan: Why do you continue to attack the bipartisan work of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee and its report? Your latest column follows up your earlier column (11/21/24) claiming Ashli Babbitt was murdered. This all appears to be an attempt at revisionist history to serve the interests of DJT during his second term. That’s because he intends to use his AG and MAGA supporters in Congress to go after his “political enemies”. And Liz Cheney, as co-Chair of the Jan. 6 Committee, is at the top of DJT’s hit list!
I won’t dwell on all your false claims–except for one. That’s your claim that “one report confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest” on Jan. 6. And what is the “report” you are referring to? Not a “report” but a statement by Tony Ornato, DJT’s WH Deputy Chief of Staff in the first term. Ornato claims “he clearly recalled Trump’s offer of 10,000 troops” to DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. Do you offer any other evidence to back up Ornato’s claim. No. It is interesting that Ornato was scheduled to be interviewed by Homeland Security investigators on 8/31/22 re his activities surrounding Jan. 6. To avoid doing so, Ornato retired from the SS on 8/29/22. Maybe Ornato wanted to avoid having to back up his claim that DJT offered 10,000 troops?
DJT raised the issue during his first 2024 presidential debate. He mentioned DC Mayor Bowser and claimed: “I went to Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of Washington DC and I said ‘I’d like to give you 10,000 National Guard or soldiers’. They rejected me”. Mayor Bowser was quick in her response on X. Mayor Bowser stated: “On January 6, Trump summoned a violent mob and dispatched to the US Capitol. Trump never offered DC 10,000 troops, and the President –not the DC Mayor–controls the National Guard. Unlike Trump, we immediately offered the DC Metropolitan Police Department to support the US Capitol Police. We owe the DC Police and the US Capitol Police our never ending gratitude for saving our Capitol and democracy”.
Mayor Bowser’s statement stands uncontradicted and is backed up by the Jan. 6 Select Committee report that found “no evidence” to support DJT’s and your claim about the 10,000 troops. But there is little doubt what DJT intends. He wants to use his AG and his lackeys in Congress to investigate and prosecute the members of the Select Committee. DJT’s second term will be all about seeking vengeance against his “political enemies”–not in seeking the truth. And it appears your columns are in service of that agenda!
Hmmm. Do you spell O-R-N-A-T-O as M-I-L-L-E-Y???

Bombshell transcripts: Trump urged use of troops to protect Capitol on Jan. 6 , but was rebuffed
“Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, confirmed to the Pentagon inspector general three years ago that during a Jan. 3, 2021, Oval Office meeting Trump pre-approved the use of National Guard or active duty troops to keep peace in the nation’s capital on the day Congress was to certify the results of the 2020 election.”
“Milley confirmed a second time during the interviews that Trump was clear in his wishes. “It was just what I just described, which was, ‘Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe,” the general told the IG.”

Mr. Dennis McIntyre, as an African living in Cameroun and who followed closely what happened in America in the night after the 2020 election on CNN and what transpired on January 6 as by CSPan zoomed live to us here, I find most of your intervention here not that sincere but obnoxious.
First you in the Biden camp coersed Twitter to block and ban a sitting American President from telling the world that he told Americans to protest peacefully because “we are the party of law”. Elon Musk released that Tweet!
Mr. McIntyre, why would Trump supporters invade the hall just at the moment when some congressmen had rejected the certification of the result and and the Congress leader (VP Mike Pence) was bound to apply congress rules? The American rules states that in case of objection backed by a certain number of Congressmen, the congress is bound to listen to the evidence backing the request. Why will Trump supporters block the presentation of fraud evidence in Congress when they were not given such opportunities in Courts? Normally, any sound behaviourist or psychlogist will tell you that only Democrats would have loved to see the riot of January 6 take place. Trump has to reinvestigate January 6 with Lead investigators being Professors Turley and Vershowitz. Allan may not like Trump, but he is very sound with issues truth and facts. He is an American Jew and I am very with his position vis a vis the Isrealite government.
Concerning the national guards, I have this for Mr. McIntyre: https://justthenews.com/accountability/watchdogs/bombshell-transcripts-trump-urged-use-troops-protect-capitol-jan-6-was utm_source=referral&utm_medium=offthepress&utm_campaign=home.
My name is Aaron Agien Nyangkwe from Douala in Cameroun.
Officer Byrd was supposed to know that Ashli Babbitt was unarmed … how? She’s smashing through a window at the head of an angry mob of several hundreds demanding to Hang Mike Pence and Byrd is supposed to do a frisk?
So Americans can just summarily blow away thousands of Africans “shopping-by-break-in” at Walmart or in Beverley Hills?
So Americans can just summarily blow away the criminal illegal alien invaders crossing the border?
“Officer Byrd was supposed to know that Ashli Babbitt was unarmed … how?”
How did he know she posed a credible threat to his safety halfway through that window with other officers dressed in full battle rattle standing almost next to her and looking bemused, not frightened?
Why wasn’t then Lieutenant “Gunslinger” Byrd stacking bodies of the rioters attempting to murder him and his officers with Molotov Cocktails a few months earlier while those Democrat rioters were assaulting the White House where the President and his wife and child were inside?
This is how Democrat ‘tards tell the audience they’re ‘tards without coming right out in the open and posting “I’m a ‘tard attempting to defend the indefensible’.
* because he never saw a weapon.
“Why wasn’t then Lieutenant “Gunslinger” Byrd stacking bodies of the rioters attempting to murder him and his officers with Molotov Cocktails a few months earlier while those Democrat rioters were assaulting the White House where the President and his wife and child were inside?”
How do you know Byrd was there, in uniform? Maybe he was rioting with BLM in civvies.
* Yes
Why don’t you run that argument past Bragg in NYC as he tries to convict a former marine in the unfortunate death of a long term criminal and mental case. Was the Marine supposed to stop and discuss with the out of control drugged up thug before rendering defense for all the others on that subway car?
What’s the Republican plan to balance the federal budget and reduce our children’s national debt? Since Republicans control the entire federal government – what’s the plan?
Since Republicans control the entire federal government – what’s the plan?
You’re referring to the plan that Schumer, Jefferies, and the rest of the Soviet Democrat-Marxist Mainstream Media Complex won’t fight with everything including more lawfare and propaganda lies to ensure never survives?
There you go, cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat. I said the unspoken part you won’t say out loud for you.
You’re welcome, you feckless coward.
Downsize government, increase GDP , GNP …we’ll see

The movement to de-consstitutionalize the United States of America has failed . . . for now. But it is time to take a breath and see whether our constitutional republic will be proudly reborn.
“But it is time to take a breath and see whether our constitutional republic will be proudly reborn.”
Since four-letter acronyms have been a hallmark of Trump’s campaigns and administrations, I’d like to recommend popularization of a new (at least, I have not previously seen it used) one:
Restore Our American Republic – ROAR
The only problem with the 1/6 Congressioal investigation is that it came to late to light a fire under the butt of an asleep at the wheel DOJ in its flagrantly inept initial policy about dealing with trump….
Turley, you’ve played this ‘was it an insurrection or just a riot that supposedly insulted you’ game for months, blatantly ignoring the fact it was both. But you’re playing to a stupid audience who falls to your bs with no resistance at all.
What trump did, and didn’t, do on 1/6 should’ve put him in prison. Full stop. And it should bring intense scorn to those of you who shill for him.
Deranged much?
The only problem with the 1/6 Congressioal investigation is that it came to late to light a fire under the butt of an asleep at the wheel DOJ in its flagrantly inept initial policy about dealing with trump….
That would be the same DoJ that did nothing but watch while you and your fellow Democrat street thugs spent over a day attempting to murder police guarding the White House in their assault on the White House a few weeks earlier. Talk about asleep at the wheel, how lucky you were that they didn’t give you the J6 treatment (but you knew they wouldn’t)!
The same DoJ that ignored and hid the years of felonies by the Biden White House Crime LLC crime cartel, committed both before Trump entered office and after Trump entered office.
The same DoJ that ignored and gave a pass to you and your fellow black clad Democrat street thugs in your months of Mostly Peaceful Election Season Rioting, Arson, Looting, Pillaging And Murder all across the country.
540+ riots, more damage than Hurricane Katrina, federal buildings torched and occupied, entire blocks of cities occupied by force of arms while Obama, Biden, and Harris justified it from the sidelines.
Yes, you cowardly Anonymous apparatchik, explain to everybody how you Democrat thugs were justifiably ignored by the same DoJ you think didn’t go after Trump hard enough with something that should have looked like Trump-Russia Dossier v2.0 after they failed with the first version.
You’re an idiot. And, Jonathan, did you forget Roseanne Boylan?
I have no doubt, none, that a bunch of you who post here are the “small men” talked about by Calandrelli. Your masculinity has been given to your cult god and you are demeaning yourselves by your slavish devotion to an orange rapist fraudster. JT fits this description perfectly.
Where is that Biden impeachment? Any day now.

Funny, Trump seems to have surrounded himself with strong, intelligent, capable women.
I for one, am attracted to strong, intelligent, capable women. Does not make me “small.” My masculinity was not given to me by anyone. My masculinity is a trait of my alpha male self.
“My masculinity is a trait of my alpha male self.”
And I’m sure in your dreams you have women surrounding you all the time.
Nope. I am a one woman kinda guy. I do have a number of female friends, mainly because they enjoy my company as a proper alpha male.
The fact you have to brag about it shows how small you are.
I am not bragging. I am merely making an observation. Learn to recognize between the two.
Lmao. You couldn’t be more beta if you tried.
Us proper alpha males dont have to try at all. It just comes to us naturally. And a proper upbringing.
If you have to keep describing yourself as an alpha male, then you are not.
You have rolled over and submitted your “masculinity” to your orange cult master.
Not at all. Just an observation I have had female friends and a number of girlfriends make of me. It never occurred to me, as that was just “me” being “me.” Just explaining it to you, as you clearly cannot distinguish the difference.
The more you feel the need to assert your “alpha masculinity”, the more you display you fundamental insecurity about these matters.
You have surrended whatever “masculinity” you may have had to your cult master.
One cannot surrender a natural trait. Based off your initial post on the topic, if anyone is in a cult it is you in the woke leftist cult. Just look at the language you use. Very cult like. Also, a display of an immature, hyper emotional mind.
Honestly, it’s pitiful that you associate “your” personal fear of an imaginary “orange cult master” with someone else’s masculine superiority. It would be advisable to keep your effeminate paranoia to yourself.
Hey, your wife’s boyfriend called. He said you’ve used too much data on his plan.
The saying ‘those who know don’t talk while those who talk don’t know’ comes to mind….
You’re a mindless trump troll who is incapable of independent thought, obviously terrified to engage with the world without repeating brain dead fox talking points. You couldn’t be weaker.
Just explaining it to you, as you clearly cannot distinguish the difference. As I have demonstrated here on the good professor’s blog thousands of times, I clearly am capable and have expressed critical thinking and independent thought. I dont watch Fox. So I have no idea what their talking points are.
The saying ‘those who know don’t talk while those who talk don’t know’ comes to mind….
The truism is that when WE see a ‘BBBBBUUUTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!!’ and a ‘BBBBUUUTTTT….. MUH FOX!!!! together in one post coming from a coward who will only post Anonymously, WE know we’re seeing a Marxist Useful Idiot desperately waving it’s virtue signalling flags in hopes of getting a pat on the head from the yentas on The View.
Nobody minds these refugees from the short bus that carries Jerry’s Kids lying to themselves that they’re strong birthing person beta males.
When a terrified loser has to lie to itself, it would be cruel to hurt it any further.
Lmao. You couldn’t be more beta if you tried.
Laughing that saggy Birthing Person Male ass of yours off? It seems clear you can no more define what a man is than that brilliant SCOTUS justice who can’t define what a woman is, even after taking a peek down to see what’s looking back at her from her panties.
There’s nothing more beta than a cowardly Anonymous allegedly male Birthing Person, commenting as though they/they/zee are genuinely on the rag over the comments made by a man who isn’t terrified of posting under the same username, day after day, week after week.
I think that I am what they call a Sigma male.
“Sigma male is an internet slang term to describe masculine men. The term gained prominence within Internet culture during the late 2010s and early 2020s, and has inspired numerous memes, graffitis and videos.[32] It is used to denote a male who is equally dominant to an alpha male but exists outside the alpha-beta male hierarchy as a “lone wolf”. In the manosphere, it is regarded as the “rarest” kind of male.”
Floyd,
Never heard of that before. Learned something new today. Thank you.
Bless your little heart
Good name-calling! Well done!
“Your masculinity has been given to your cult god and you are demeaning yourselves by your slavish devotion to an orange rapist fraudster.”
The sage cowardly Anonymous minds whose sexual morality is defined by their support for President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Incest Showers,
Morality towards rejecting corruption in the White House demonstrated by supporting The Big Guy in the White House. Mr. Ten Percent, who long before Trump racked up over 150 Suspicious Activity Reports from worried banks to his boss Barack Obama for bribery and influence peddling from the Vice President’s Office has spoken.
Supported with a link to CNN, who spent years convincing this Anonymous Democrat that not only was the Clinton/Obama/Biden/DNC ‘Trump-Russia Dossier’ legally written by the Putin spy they commissioned and paid to write it – but CNN assured him it was all verified US intelligence agency product.
Look at the enormous support that sagacious comments such as this from such brilliant Anonymous Democrat intellects generates!
Fat lot of good affirmative action did.
Calandrelli et al. becoming men put America’s fertility rate in a “death spiral.”
The 19th Amendment gave America abortion, redistribution, social engineering, and the rest of the principles of communism.
Genuine America has had enough of all three.
If American women don’t have babies in numbers sufficient to defend and grow the nation, there will be no America—it’s almost gone now.
