The great weasel-word gaslight: The Jan. 6 commission finds nothing on Trump


Liz Cheney's Jan. 6 commission is starting to look stupid.

Like the clown's outfit that tried to pin impeachment articles on President Trump over utterly nothing, as well as the grotesque fabulists of the Steele dossier who invented and peddled outright lies to manipulate U.S. law enforcement into taking action against Trump, there's no there there, zero substance, and as the truth gets out, they once again look like an awfully sorry bunch.

They've been trying for years to "prove" that Trump is guilty of something, and this current Jan. 6 effort is once again demonstrating their capacity for pratfalls.

Here are two breathy headlines that ran in the last couple days from the New York Times:


May? Did I just see the word "may" in that March 2 headline? What's the counterpart of "may"? Yes, the term is "may not" — which means they don't know for sure. Commissions like this are appointed to supposedly sort out the facts and come to a jury-like conclusion. If all they can conclude from this joke investigation, which has excluded significant witnesses and details in the interest of promoting the Democrat agenda, is the word "may" — and its invisible counterpart "may not" — then they don't have jack.

But wait, they are still trying. Here's their March 3 weasel word of the day:

Did I just see the word "narrative" — as in, tying lots of events together for the press as a thesis, to keep other events from getting out? Narrative is a weasel word, a syrup in which gamy facts float in the interest of promoting the Democrat agenda. Don't ever call that a juridical-style conclusion of actual facts. Narrative is spin. But ignore the top part of the tweet because an even bigger weasel word is below in the headline. Notice the word "suggest"? Reporters use that weasel word when they know they can't say some variant of the word "is." They do that to avoid libel lawsuits. The Times knew that it couldn't use any better word than "suggest" because once again, the Jan. 6 commission doesn't have the goods.

The Times then followed with a butt-covering story, citing "experts" to point out that there really isn't a case here at all:

This whole Democrat Congress is stupid. There are a few good Republicans that have tried to impeach and remove Biden but Pelosi kills it. Unfortunately there are only a few Republicans like MTG, Boebert, Massie, a couple others, but it should have been all trying to impeach Biden every day and doing the same to everyone in his cabinet. Keep Pelosi engaged, worried, and the Admin worried. Also MSM would be seeing this always.
