The J6 Committee’s Obstruction of Justice

The J6 Committee’s Obstruction of Justice
By Ted Noel

We are all familiar with the fact that members of Congress are constitutionally immune from prosecution over what they say during the time they are debating in the House or Senate (Article 1, §6, clause 1). So, Pencil Neck Schiff was free to lie through his teeth about “evidence” of Trump conspiring with Russia, and all we could do was turn the volume down or change channels. The January 6 Select Committee was similarly free to declare that the riot around the Capitol building was “an insurrection” “worse than Pearl Harbor,” and we had no other recourse.

Of course, the Uniparty, to which Mitch the Turtle McConnell, Mittens Romney, and Thom Tillis have declared their allegiance, is now sounding air raid sirens over Tucker Carlson’s airing of previously concealed surveillance video from inside the Capitol. Kevin McCarthy wisely has avoided taking any sides other than to declare that transparency is a paramount virtue. Mere citizens such as this writer are left to puzzle out the legal ramifications of this turn of events. The case of Jacob Chansley, aka the Q-Anon Shaman, brings them into sharp focus. And we must wonder if the Committee and their allies are yelling because they have been placed in serious legal jeopardy. Tucker is taking flak from them, so he must be over the target.

Jacob Chansley became the face of the January 6 event because of his outlandish makeup and dress on that day. He was photographed in the Senate chambers and charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds." He argued in his defense that he had been admitted to the building by the Capitol Police and was escorted around by them. His attorney made “extraordinary efforts” to get security video to bolster his claims but was unable to gain access to it.

Dr. Ted should stick to medicine rather than law.

The January 6th committee, scummy and duplicitous as they were, did not commit obstruction of justice.  They' had no legal obligation to turn anything over to the defendants being charged by the Department of Justice.

It was the Department of Justice that had the obligation to turn those materials over to the defendants. The only way you could potentially have prosecuted the committee is if the committee had exclusive access to that information, and refused to turn it over to the Department of Justice. The failure to disclose/provide that video over to the DOJ would have been obstruction.

But that's not what happened.  The DOJ itself has all that stuff, and it is the DOJ's responsibility to turn it over to the defendants they are prosecuting.

Anyone should have seen from the moment of its inception that the "January 6 investigation" was not about "justice", but rather, the obstruction of same.

That's why I never paid a lick o' mind to it, including most of the articles posted here.

It was a sham, 100% from the get-go.
An outright lie.

It was a classic kangaroo court.  They literally booted off the committee GOP members who were not on board with the result they wanted to reach.
