This week is the anniversary of the mostly peaceful protest at the Capitol that turned violent . The compliant press and the Dems will try to portray this as a day of infamy ;a sneak attack to kneecap the peaceful transfer of the Presidency to Clueless Joe ;to install Trump as dictator for life.....the big coup. That narrative of course is nonsense .
Mostly this anniversary is being ignored .Thus the drum beat to remind people .
Thinking people asked at the time 'who benefits' by a riot in attempt to over turn the election ? Cui Bono?
Trump maintained that the election was rigged and stolen by the Dems . Whether that is true or not is not the point . The ONLY way he could've changed the outcome of the election on January 6 was to allow the Constitutional process that was happening in Congress that day to play out . In Congress they were debating challenges to the electoral results of 5 states .(Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan) This is not the 1st time challenges to electors have happened . It is a routine in close elections.
So who REALLY benefitted from a disruption of the legal process underway ? Trump or the Republicans in Congress who were making the challenge ? No .
It was the Dems themselves who benefitted. They immediately went to impeachment mode in an attempt to disqualify Trump from ever being President again, They have spent the last year in kangaroo court trying to discredit him and criminalize his belief that the election was stolen . They have been trying to assert that working to prove that a stolen elections had taken place is the equivalent of Trump attempting to steal an election .
Ask Evita; believing an election is stolen is protected by the Constitution. Just like asking people to march peacefully and patriotically to the capitol to make their voices heard is not the same as giving marching orders to rioters .
The riot effectively ended Trump's challenges to the election. So how could he have possibly gained by directing the riot from the White House ?
To the contrary Trump had requested the deployment of 10,000 national guard troops to protect the Capitol. A request rejected by Madam Mim; the Capitol police and the DC mayor. I have yet the hear a good reason for that move. Later had Trump used the power of the Presidency to order in troops then the appearance of a coup would have been evident .
As mentioned ;the only chance Trump had to reverse the outcome was through the Constitutional process. The next day Congress drove the final nail in his challenge with a whimper from his allies in Congress. His challenge was ended .
So I ask again,,,,,,, who benefitted from the riot ?
