I know Senate hearing with Fauci and Walensky will get all the attention today but I will be covering Senate Judiciary committee on "Domestic Terror" attack of January 6. Will Republicans step up and finally confront FBI on its role that day?

Senator Durbin reminding us how McConnell and McCarthy condemned the "insurrection" and blamed Trump for it. We won't forget.

Grassley: Reminds committee of 600 separate riots in 2020. Playing video clips of "peaceful protests" from Summer of Love. Good for him.
Video montage shows violence against cops and property, notes that crime has skyrocketed since 2020 riots. Grassley now going thru list of injured police, criminal charges, property damage.
Grassley notes Dems backed anti-police riots. "Police have retreated from the streets."

"Police aren't just heroes because they defended us at the Capitol on January 6...they are heroes all the time. Attacks on police will get worse, not better."
Grassley said he asked Dems to condemn all political violence and they have refused.

Asst. AG for NSD Matthew Olsen says there is a heightened threat of violent domestic terrorists. "Growing threat" by anti-authority, anti-government activists. Olsen will create a domestic terror unit at NSD and add prosecutors. Buckle up, Republicans.
FBI asst director Jill Sanborn: The attack on the Capitol "continues to this day." JFC.
Sanborn says terrorists are radicalized on line then obtain easy weapons to attack soft targets. Would love an example or 3 on this related to "domestic violent terrorists."

Sanborn lists extreme views as anti-lockdown policies and "perceived" election fraud.
Sanborn says anti-government terrorists at home (read: Trump voters) are equal to ISIS, will be handled accordingly.
1A is ok until FBI decides it's criminal behavior. What could go wrong?

Olsen insists "we must speak with one voice."
Don't recall anyone electing Olsen to speak for anyone.
Olsen was outraged over Trump's immigration policies.
No concerns over potential terrorists poring over the border?
