Opinion: If Democrats are serious about a congressional investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, they must be prepared to follow where the evidence leads, even if doesn’t flatter their present views

, have done the right and necessary thing by providing a rapid-response this week to knock down Carlson’s FBI allegation that an “unindicted co-conspirator” described in Jan. 6 criminal charges was an FBI informant who helped plan the assault. It just ain’t so, Cohen wrote. The news article on which Carlson drew his conclusions were based on a flawed misunderstanding of how an unindicted co-conspirator is defined.

One unfortunate thing about these rebuttals is that they will “amplify,” as some of the lefty press critics might say, the original Carlson rubbish. But how catastrophic is that compared to letting the Carlson chicanery go uncontested? If anything, we should be grateful that the Jan. 6 truthers commenced their theorizing as soon as they did before memories hazed and people began the inevitable process of forgetting exactly what happened. That the truthers are active now, while the Capitol still displays its scars, and we have ready access to the information needed to disprove their theories, gives us a winning chance to beat back Gosarian demagoguery and set the record straight.

Take Gosar’s protest that we don’t know the name of the policeman who shot Babbitt. Surely he knows that the U.S. Capitol Policeand that it’s in their power to change the rules that would release the name of Babbitt’s shooter. Rather than hector the FBI director about the shooter’s identity, he should persuade his colleagues to make the Capitol Police more transparent. Furthermore, if Team Gosar is really serious about wanting to know more about law enforcement’s Jan.

As much as we might like to deny it, not every revisionist question is a misguided missile aimed at the sacred heart of truth. Even bad-faith actors can raise relevant questions. For instance, the first accounts of U.S. Capitol Officer Brian Sicknick’s cause of death—that he was killed following blunt force trauma—were doubted in many corners and were later

Recent Non-flattering View: Security Required…

…. TRUMP AND THE GQP ARE MOST CERTAINLY … I N V O L V E D

The Dems won’t do shit. It’s not in thier nature.

It's common knowledge that we have toxic high partisan in Congress, so truth will be hard 2find. The public can only rely on d press, it's now more than ever we need 2 have unbiased professional journalism, ask hard questions but unfortunately, w/c press is truly unbiased now?

This is the stupidest thing on Twitter today. Flatter their views!?!

Lol, there is nothing that will not flatter democrats.

Follow the facts…they lead to the truth…

The role of FBI in the matter needs complete exposure !

But Democrats voted for the commission . Republicans voted no and we all know why!

Poor reporting…it’s NEVER been about Dems being afraid of where it might lead, nor what the narrative might be! THIS is deflection! If not for blocking by RepubliKLANs this would already be underway!!

The 6th cannot be spun. That’s the tweet.

Flatter their views? Lol pundits really wish they could spin the 6th. How many ways can win spin the 6th ? 😂

Really? I think Democrats and the sane people of America can see clearly who’s at fault.

Twitter HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateGOP SenateDems MittRomney jack Agreed. And I have arguments that actually defend Trump and shields him from the huge burden of blame he carries. But without an independent commision there is no way I can make those arguments. ---

fails to remind readers that no charges of insurrection have been filed against Capitol protesters. Media outlets have propagated the falsehood of 'insurrection'.

'If Democrats are serious about a congressional investigation of the riot ...' Well, you can stop right there.

'Flatter their present views'? The Capitol is hallowed ground; a symbol of our form of Government. We are a nation of laws. Attacking the Capitol is taboo. It's like punching your grandmother in the face. There is no excuse. There will be no weeping for the attackers.

You misspelled Republicans

This shouldn't be a way to score political points. We should be focused on finding out why it happened so that it doesn't happen again. The truth will set us free.

There was a fucking bipartisan comission Politico. Only republicans voted against it.

Good point! Let's see how they handle that.

Every elected Democrat voted for a bi partisan independent commission to look at 1/6

I’ll pay the bills of the first 6 people to dm me 💯💯❤️❤️

They do keep on trying, to be fair. Perhaps you might want to address Republican reluctance
