From the very beginning of the January 6th committee’s existence, there were concerns that the group was engaged in partisan politicking rather than a developing a legitimate probe of the events that occurred on that fateful day.
The Democrats steering the committee didn’t help nullify this belief either, as they pushed to exclude a number of Republican lawmakers from the ranks of the group.
And now, just weeks ahead of a major US election, (and Donald Trump’s inevitable 2024 announcement), the committee is again devaluing their work with a politically-timed final message to voters.
“Tune in for our discussion of Trump’s clear and present danger presented to democracy and freedom in America by a movement that he’s galvanized,” panel member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said this week at a virtual People for the American Way event.
