Rep. Bennie Thompson, Chair of Jan. 6 Committee, May Call Trump to Testify: 'Wherever the Facts Lead Us'

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the newly appointed chairman of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, says he's no "shrinking violet," and he will call former President Donald Trump to testify, "if the facts lead us there."

CNN's Chris Cuomo asked Thompson on Thursday night, "Will you call Trump?"

"Well, let me say this," Thompson said.

"We have a good committee. We will have professional investigators. We will have the best that we have, to offer to help us conduct this investigation and wherever the facts lead us, Chris, we will follow."

"The facts will lead you to Trump," Cuomo said. "Will you call Trump?"

"If the facts lead us there, and our investigators say that it's (in) our best interest, we'll look at it," Thompson responded.....

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

All Trump has to do is exercise his right to remain silent. That is the hard part for Trump.

Why would Trump want to remain silent?  The truth is the truth.  I'm convinced that both Pence and Pelosi knew days ahead of time about the insurrection.

Trump has also been quoted as telling his supporters to peacefully protest.  Last time I checked there was a huge difference between the BLM/Antifa mob that staged the whole thing and Trump supporters who peacefully protested.
