Yes of course Donald Trump is the real Target of the Jnuary 6 Committee.
The Democrats have been attempting to destroy Trump from the day he took office as president.
They would do literally ANYTHING to take Trump out of the running.
It is the Democrat’s most desperate fear that Trump might be elected president again. Because if he did, he would have the power to respond to all of the vicious propaganda and salacious slurs made against him.

Such incredible disingenuous rhetoric! 7/21/2022
Opinions!! Nothing but subjective personal opinions in the Jan 6 hearings testimony today 7/21/2022
It is obvious that all of this is scripted, the questions and the answers, all rehearsed and scripted by professional script writers who usually write for TV and movies
Are the Jan 6 hearings legitimate?
The January 6 committee was established July 1, 2021.
Pelosi is in violation of House Resolution 503. The committee is entirely bogus.
House Resolution 503. Pelosi is in violation of the Resolution setting up the Committee. There were suppose to be 13 Members on the Committee, 5 of which would be Republican after consulting with the House Minority Leader. They chose the 5 and she rejected them and picked 2 herself.
House Resolution 503 - Passed House (06/30/2021)
This resolution establishes in the House of Representatives the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
The select committee must (1) conduct an investigation of the relevant facts and circumstances relating to the attack on the Capitol; (2) identify, review, and evaluate the causes of and the lessons learned from this attack; and (3) submit a report containing findings, conclusions, and recommendations to prevent future acts of violence, domestic terrorism, and domestic violent extremism, and to improve the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex and other American democratic institutions.
The select committee consists of 13 Members of the House appointed by the Speaker; 5 must be appointed after consultation with the minority leader. The resolution gives the select committee specified powers, including the authority to hold hearings, receive evidence, and issue subpoenas. It also requires other House committees to share relevant records with the select committee within 14 days of the resolution's adoption or receipt of such records.

The committee hired a TV executive to produce the hearings for maximum impact.
The committee has brought on a veteran TV executive to help do the job, hiring James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, to produce the hearings as if they were a docudrama or a must-watch mini-series.

WASHINGTON (TND) — A Capitol Police timeline of the days and weeks surrounding Jan. 6 shows former President Donald Trump’s Department of Defense (DOD) offered the National Guard’s assistance in the days leading up to the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, validating claims from Trump administration officials that were said to be false by liberal fact-checkers.
What we also know is that President Trump wanted to make sure that the people that came, that there was a safe environment for that kind of assembly,” former President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.
And I’ve said that publicly before — the National Guard troops that he wanted to make sure that everything was safe and secure," Meadows said. "Obviously having those National Guards available, actually the reason they were able to respond when they did, was because President Trump had actually put them on alert.
Furthermore, as word began circulating around Washington of the Capitol Police’s changing stance on the need for National Guard troops on Jan. 6, Democratic Mayor for the District of Columbia, Muriel Bowser, wrote a letter to Miller and other Departments of Defense and Justice officials asking that National Guard troops not be deployed unless the local Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) approved.

In his resignation letter to Nancy Pelosi Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund verifies everything claimed in Just the News article:
At approximately 2:28 p.m., I learned that in order to get authorization for National Guard support, the Pentagon needed to approve the request. I was therefore asked to participate in a conference call with Dr. Chris Rodriguez, D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency; Chief Robert Contee, Metropolitan Police; General William Walker, D.C. National Guard; and Lt. General Walter Piatt, the Director of Army Staff. During the call I again made an urgent request for immediate National Guard support. I explained that the National Guard was needed to shore up our perimeter to help secure the Capitol.
Lt. General Walter Piatt stated, "I don't like the visual of the National Guard standing a line with the Capitol in the background. I would much rather prefer to relieve USCP officers from other posts so they can handle the protesters."
I urgently advised that this was not an option and that I did not have officers to swap with National Guard and that I needed assistance immediately.
Lt. General Piatt stated that he was preparing to brief the Secretary of the Army and that his recommendation would be not to support the request.
Chief Contee then stated, "So you are denying the request from the Capitol Police." Chief Contee then asked me, "Steve, are you requesting National Guard assistance?" to which I stated, "Yes, I need immediate assistance with National Guard at the Capitol, I do not have the option to swap out officers on check points."
Lt. General Piatt then indicated that he was going to run the request up the chain of command at the Pentagon.
Almost two hours later, by 4:00 p.m., we had still not received authorization from the Pentagon to activate the National Guard. Mr. Stenger offered to have Senator McConnell call the Secretary of the Army to expedite the request. I concurred that this would be a good idea.
I followed up approximately 20 minutes later to check on the call and express the need for leadership 7 to call to assist in expediting the request. The first 150 members of the National Guard were not sworn in on Capitol grounds until 5:40 p.m., four and a half hours after I first requested them and three and a half hours after my request was approved by the Capitol Police Board. I still cannot fathom why in the midst of an armed insurrection, which was broadcast worldwide on television, it took the Department of Defense over three hours to approve an urgent request for National Guard support.
Finally, I must add that I wish that before placing the blame on the USCP and on me as the Chief for the breach of the Capitol by an insurrectionist mob, more consideration would have been given to the impact of incomplete information provided by intelligence assessments, the denied National Guard request, and the subsequent delayed approval for National Guard assistance. Again, I do not believe that the U.S. Capitol Police failed. Greatly outnumbered and against tremendous odds, they kept the Members safe.
I truly regret my early departure from an agency and a mission I so cherished. Working with the women and men of the USCP, sworn and civilian, and serving the congressional community, was the highlight of my 30 year law enforcement career. Please feel free to contact me. I will do anything I can, and everything that is requested of me, to help ensure that an attack like January 6, 2021, never happens again. I stand ready, willing and able to assist in any effort. Sincerely, Steven A. Sund Former Chief of Police United States Capitol Police

The 8th January 6 Hearing took place on July 7, 2022 and there was still no mention of Ray Epps the FBI informant that provoked the first breach into the US Capitol Building.

Underestimating the Threat, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Ordered Up Unarmed Guards
BY WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 12/31/21 AT 5:00 AM EST
On Thursday, December 31, says the current accepted narrative, the District of Columbia mayor rang an alarm about protests at the Joint Session of Congress. In fact, the opposite is true. What the mayor did, was ask for the minimal number of National Guardsmen and women to help out the Metropolitan Police Department, and she warned that those troops should be unarmed and not directly involve themselves in any protests.
Mayor Muriel Bowser sent a letter on New Year's Eve to Maj. Gen. William Walker, commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, requesting support on January 5 through 6. She said Guard personnel would support the MPD and the District Fire and Emergency Medical Services. "[N]o DCNG personnel shall be armed during this mission, and at no time, will DCNG personnel or assets be engaged in domestic surveillance, searches, or seizures of [U.S.] persons," she wrote.
A follow-up letter from Christopher Rodriguez, director of the District's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, said that the DCNG's primary mission would be "crowd management and assistance with blocking vehicles at traffic posts [traffic control points or TCPs]." He specifically requested six National Guard crowd management teams at 30 TCPs and six specific Metro stations to prevent overcrowded platforms.
The reason for the limited request went back to June 1, 2020, when George Floyd protests reached their peak in the District, along with significant controversy about the role of the military. Former Attorney General Bill Barr characterized May 31 as "the most violent day of civil unrest in the District in 30 years."
Maj. Gen. Walker forwarded the request from the District of Columbia government to Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy on January 1 with his recommendation that McCarthy approve the supporting request. Because of a peculiarity of the District not being a state, the DC National Guard is under the direct command of the president, with the Secretary of the Army exercising direct control. Once inside the Pentagon, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller also learned of the request the same day. Walker talked on the phone with McCarthy, explaining that Guard members helping the MPD with traffic and crowd control would free up more police officers to respond to any civil unrest. McCarthy told Walker to conduct a mission analysis, saying that he would confer with acting secretary Miller.
On December 31, the DC National Guard received its first law enforcement projections of the size of the crowd expected on January 6. The MPD estimated the crowd's size would be 19,925. The U.S. Park Police stated, according to the IG report, that "there was not a single organizer to control all the groups, so most action would be spontaneous. This was seen by some as a 'last chance' so there was the possibility of more aggression than in previous protests." There was an expectation that supporters of the Proud Boys and anti-fascist (Antifa) organizations would fight each other, resulting in possible larceny, looting and arson.
Still, the Army staff concluded that there was no emergency regarding possible protests because, as the IG report states, "local law enforcement had not recalled or placed their officers on standby."
In a formal PowerPoint presentation prepared on December 31, Maj. Gen. Walker estimated that the mission required 350 DC National Guard personnel.
The Pentagon later told the Inspector General that "there were no contingency plans for conducting CDOs [civil disturbance operations] in D.C. because the DoD acts only in response to specific requests from civil authorities unless the President invokes the Insurrection Act." That statement was false, as Newsweek previously reported.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund Testifies About January 6th
"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences." -- Carroll Quigley
The term “insurrection” to describe the riot on January 6 is hyperbolic spin and disinformation. It is like saying being shot with a water pistol is being shot with a gun.
“In insurrection there is an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society.”
