“I’m saying when the president does it, that means it’s not illegal”

That’s what President Richard Nixon (R) told David Frost in an interview, those years ago, when Frost asked him about Watergate.

Now, after Progressive-Democratic Party Presidents, guys like Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden, laundered that philosophy through their own agendas, we get to the Progressive-Democrat-run January 6 Committee.

The Democrat-led House Select Committee to Investigate January 6 doctored a key piece of its evidence, adding audio to silent US Capitol Police security footage used to create a dramatic video montage for the opening of its primetime hearings last summer, according to a Just the News review of the original raw footage and interviews.
In at least two instances identified by Just the News, the panel’s sizzle reel that aired live and on C-SPAN last June failed to identify that it had overdubbed audio from another, unidentified source onto the silent footage. Multiple current and former Capitol Police officials as well as key lawmakers and congressional aides confirmed that the closed-circuit cameras that captured the video do not record sound and that it was added afterwards.

And this:

A former spokesman for the January 6 committee told Just the News that the panel was supposed to clearly mark any video that was dubbed with another audio source, and it did so on some occasions in the sizzle reel.

That, though, emphasizes the misbehavior. But marking some videos as dubbed, but not others, the Committee made it seem as though those others were not dubbed, but had audio in the original. It’s hard to believe that Party’s staff were careless or mistaken in this. They knew what they were doing, and they demonstrated the skills necessary to do it.

The depth of the misbehavior:

One video clip from the genuine security footage shows an aerial view of the US Capitol Building without sound as the riot unfolded on January 6. Yet during the hearing the same clip aired with audio of crowd noises.
Another clip shows rioters entering the building through the Senate wing door. Viewers can hear glass breaking and a lot of shouting as the clip played during the hearing, but the Capitol Police and others have confirmed that the genuine and original version of this security footage had no audio.

In any other venue, such misbehavior would be evidence tampering, a very serious felony. However, when members of the Progressive-Democratic Party do it, that means it’s not illegal.

Remember that in 18 months, or so.

FBI Director Wray in Contempt of Congress

FBI Director Chris Wray has said in so many words that he will not honor the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena for a document. Committee Chairman James Comer (R, KY) now says he’s

taking steps to hold…Wray in contempt of Congress….

The FBI Director in contempt of Congress? How about the FBI as an institution in contempt of Congress—and of us citizens?

In any event, good luck getting the Biden DoJ to prosecute the case, but it’s useful to go on the record, and further to demonstrate anew the protective cloak that the Biden administration throws around its own.

It also would be useful if the House, as part of its budget-setting, were to apply the Holman Rule to Wray and his Deputy Directors, and cut their salaries to $1.00 per year.

Clint Eastwood Set the Bar

James Van Der Beek thinks the Democratic National Committee is…badly mistaken…for declining to hold debates between President Joe Biden (D) and his Party so-called competitors for Presidential nomination in the upcoming Progressive-Democratic Party primary walkthrough.

I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?
I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are you f—ing kidding me? There’s no debate?

Clint Eastwood, some years ago at the 2012 Republican Party’s National Convention, demonstrated a debate technique and with it set the bar. He debated an empty chair that represented then-President Barack Obama. Even though the Republican candidate lost the election (for wholly unrelated reasons), Eastwood’s debate was hugely effective and was just as hugely well-known around our nation, even though he spoke in the Convention’s final hour.

Now, think about that. A Presidential candidate supporter took on an empty chair that represented the competitor.

Now think about those who are decrying Biden for being so reluctant to debate his competitors.

Think further about the current crop of Republican contenders for President, including one who may or may not show up for any debates.

If we look at Biden with dismay over his reluctance to debate his contenders, what are we to think of those contenders of either party who are too chicken even to debate an empty chair representing the no-shows?

After all, Eastwood has already demonstrated the utility of the technique.

A biological male, claiming to be transgender, skied as a…girl…in the California-Nevada high school girls’ skiing tournament, and won it.

But: he’s still competing as in the boys’ category for biking.

How does this work, exactly?

It’s time to enforce Title IX and bar males from competing in female sports. It’s time for each State to bar males from competing in female sports in all State and local programs, whether or not the program takes Federal dollars.

Opening up for Election Fraud

Washington’s Progressive-Democrat Governor Jay Inslee has signed into law yet another pathway to illegal voting. This new election law

allows people to register online to vote in the state by providing the last four digits of a Social Security Number and an electronic signature.

Never mind that those “last four” are broadly publicly available. Never mind that electronic signatures far too often don’t even remotely resemble a person’s actual signature: it’s done by clicking a link labeled with words to the effect of “by clicking this link, you’re certifying you are who you say you are and electronically signing,” or by presenting a signature field wherein you squiggle something with your finger or with your mouse.

Now anyone can vote in Washington, and do so multiple times; the putative voter needs only access to multiple “last fours,” and then he can “electronically” sign multiple voter forms.

What a boon for Washington citizens, especially the non-real ones.
