Turns out the 1/6 Committee has Mark Meadows’ text messages, the Trump regime’s election overthrow PowerPoint presentation, and Trump White House metadata on Jeffrey Clark’s letter. It’s becoming clear that the committee has amassed ton of incriminating 1/6 evidence.

For those who have been asking what the committee has been doing all this time, this answers the question. It’s been amassing all this evidence from cooperating witnesses, so it can use it to pressure and/or bust hostile witnesses. It’s simply how these kinds of probes work.

Also, if the 1/6 committee has this evidence, then so does the DOJ. Keep in mind that the DOJ is going to tell you even less about its criminal probe, while it’s still in progress, than the committee is going to tell you about its fact finding probe.

In any case, all this evidence the 1/6 committee has up its sleeve proves that the committee has indeed been aggressively doing its job all this time. So much for the arguments about the committee “lacking a sense of urgency” or that other concocted doomsday nonsense.

If the media and the pundits would educate audiences about how these probes tend to work, instead of dishonestly bashing the committee in an effort to make themselves look smarter than the committee, the public wouldn’t be so shocked when it turns out the committee is winning.

And yet even now, people are hysterically yelling about how the committee must magically arrest everyone right this minute or we’re all doomed!

The media has everyone so spun around backwards about how anything works, audiences STILL can’t see that the committee is winning.

It’s not about “optimism” or “patience” or “having faith.” It’s about understanding how a probe like this works to begin with. It’s about pitting witnesses against each other, etc. Haste gets you NOWHERE. It’s like thinking chess is won by whoever takes their turn the fastest.

The committee’s studious approach to collecting evidence like text messages, metadata, PowerPoint, etc, is what will allow the committee to pressure top hostile witnesses into caving. You have to nail them with evidence first, before they’ll even think about cooperating.

If the committee simply subpoenaed every remaining witness tomorrow, it would result in zero cooperation from any of them. It would mean total failure.

The stupid “aggressive” moves the pundits are demanding, are the precisely moves that would let Trump get away with it all.

Firefighters climb a ladder one rung at a time for a reason. We’d all laugh at any observer who tried to look smart and aggressive by bashing firefighters for not magically jumping up six rungs with each step. We must learn to laugh at any pundit who shouts the same nonsense.
