The suspicion is that right wing sympathisers within the fbI and police dropped the ball due to their inherent biases.

huh..your statement makes no sense and I ask that you explain right wing sympathizers in the bureau.

I'll cut to the chase: whomever is responsible for the debacle called security, or rather lack of, at the capitol bulding on J6 despite after and in consideration of the robust FBI and other intel indicating potential for violence (please conduct search for the intel that was available indicating potential for violence on J6)), they need to be held to account. So far there is innuendo flying in every direction about culpability at this time. If Trump can be predicated and shown to be involved then he needs to be accountable. Anyone, I mean ANYONE that dropped the ball on the massive breakdown security failures on J6 must be identified and punished. I think this issue will become VERY contentious if R's prevail in midterm elections and begin to unravel why the big tough Yanks can't protect their house.

Also, all us plain ole kitchen table yanks care not so much about this J6 confusion but more on paying our bills and surviving record inflation.

If its a 'slam dunk' case as you put it why hasn't he been indicted and tried in court?

He hasn't, so he is innocent! Because he has not been proved guilty! LOL

I didn't make up "Innocent until proven guilty"

There needs to be proof, of Trumps intent, a lot of proof and not circumstantial as in a "conspiracy" prosecution. Goes to state of mind, what a person knows and you can prove. So far there is zero evidence of any intent by Trump, ZERO, (of pre-planning, seditious behavior, insurrection)

But AG Garland said he's "watching" the J6 presentation.

Why not, they should, but they probably won't for one reason or another, a combination of reasons, precedent, lack of evidence, etc. A conspiracy prosecution would be the DOJ's best bet.

Squeeze Eastman to roll on Trump. turn this into a huge mess, but muck up Trump (maybe) if he wants to be POTUS again.

70% of poll respondents think it's very or somewhat important to investigate Jan 6.

With their majority at stake, Democrats plan to use the six high-profile hearings to refocus voters’ attention on Republicans’ role in the attack.

"With their control of Congress hanging in the balance, Democrats plan to use made-for-television moments and a carefully choreographed rollout of revelations over the course of six hearings to remind the public of the magnitude of Mr. Trump’s effort to overturn the election, and to persuade voters that the coming midterm elections are a chance to hold Republicans accountable for it."

There may be no greater evidence of the deep and dangerous dysfunction that afflicts today’s Republican Party.

“The Republican issue advantages are larger and, importantly, on the top issue. They are preferred on inflation (R+19 points), border security (R+19), crime (R+13), and foreign policy (R+8).”

It's a fact that if a President is in power when economic time are tough, then generally his party suffers during midterms. But just because a President is in power when economic times are tough, doesn't mean that he's the cause of them. And I would remind you that Donald Trump pulled a much more amazing feat by leading his party to midterm disaster when the economy was doing well.

So what, it's the beginning of the end for the Biden disaster and it can come any sooner. And I would remind you that this is about Biden, not Trump.

I got news for you, the world economy is troubled now. Inflation is far from confined to the USA. And somehow this is Biden's fault?

Yes, and Biden knows he's getting beat up over the chaos he reigns over in America and that's why he's polling worst than Carter and the dems are toast come November. Not a biggie, just the way Biden rolls.

You can say what you will, Biden is disliked, despised, he's inept, and not very popular, it shows in the polls. America is totally sick of Biden's blame game and well, he is in trouble and likely to be voted out.

Whats pathetic though is how Biden blames everyone and accepts no responsibility.
