WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Armed Services Committee Vice Chair Elaine Luria today questioned Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley about the events leading up to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
You can watch Vice-Chair Luria’s questions here.
Vice-Chair Luria asked General Milley whether he was concerned about the actions taken to install new leadership in the Department of Defense in the waning days of the Trump Administration, including whether he was concerned the military would be used for political purposes. She asked General Milley why he cooperated with several books that reported on the events of January 6. Finally, Vice-Chair Luria expressed the interest of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, of which she is a member, to hear from General Milley in the coming weeks.

Finally, Vice-Chair Luria expressed the interest of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, of which she is a member, to hear from General Milley in the coming weeks?
Oh, really?
First of all, we have an NBC News article entitled “Liz Cheney named vice chair of Jan. 6 select committee – In a statement announcing her leadership post, Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said it’s important that the committee keep its probe bipartisan” by Rebecca Shabad on Sept. 2, 2021 that says it is Liz Cheney who is VICE CHAIR, not Elaine Luria, to wit:
WASHINGTON — Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., has been named vice chair of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the panel’s Democratic chairman announced Thursday.
In a statement, Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said it’s important that the committee keep the probe bipartisan.
“We are fortunate to have a partner of such strength and courage, and I look forward to continuing our work together as we uncover the facts, tell the American people the full story of January 6th, and ensure that nothing like that day ever happens again,” Thompson said.
Cheney said each member of the committee is “dedicated to conducting a non-partisan, professional, and thorough investigation of all the relevant facts.”
“We owe it to the American people to investigate everything that led up to, and transpired on, January 6th,” she said in a statement.
“We will not be deterred by threats or attempted obstruction and we will not rest until our task is complete.”

And then we have a CNN article entitled “Liz Cheney named vice chair of the January 6 select committee” by Annie Grayer, Ryan Nobles, Zachary Cohen and Whitney Wild on September 2, 2021, that also states that it is Liz Cheney, not Elaine Luria, who is the VICE CHAIR of the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS and INQUISTIONERS, to wit:
(CNN) – Democratic Chairman of the January 6 Select Committee Bennie Thompson announced on Thursday that Republican Rep. Liz Cheney will become the panel’s vice chair, the latest sign that the Democrat-run committee is attempting to strike a bipartisan tone as it prepares to wade into politically contested waters.
Cheney, one of two Republicans to serve on the committee, has defied her party by joining the panel controlled by Democrats and even sacrificed her own position in leadership in order to remain vocal and outspoken about the need to investigate the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
Now stepping into a more prominent role within the select committee, the Wyoming congresswoman will be even more at odds with her party as the panel begins to chart its investigation and directly target Republicans who could have been affiliated with the deadly attack or key to piecing together what then-President Donald Trump knew before and during it.
The behind-the-scenes moves the committee has made in recent days has already gotten a rise out of many Republicans.
Earlier this week, CNN reported that the select committee had requested a group of telecommunications companies preserve the phone records of a group of GOP members of Congress and Trump, as well as members of the Trump family, who played some role in the “Stop the Steal” rally that served as the prelude to the Capitol insurrection.

Except there was NO INSURRECTION!
That charge is FALLACIOUS!
IF there had been an actual insurrection, which there wasn’t, then WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE who are LOYAL AMERICANS, NOT Democrats, would be seeing the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT prosecuting people for INSURRECTION, a serious federal crime, based on EVIDENCE of an INSURRECTION.
However, there have been no such prosecutions and just the other day, in an Associated Press news story entitled “Judge questions whether Jan. 6 rioters are treated unfairly” by Colleen Long and Michael Kunzelman on 2 October 2021, we had as follows with regard to the events of 6 January 2021, to wit:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rejecting the recommendation of prosecutors, a federal judge sentenced a Jan. 6 rioter to probation on Friday and suggested that the Justice Department was being too hard on those who broke into the Capitol compared to the people arrested during anti-racism protests following George Floyd’s murder.
U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden questioned why federal prosecutors had not brought more cases against those accused in 2020 summertime protests, reading out statistics on riot cases in the nation’s capital that were not prosecuted.
“I think the U.S. attorney would have more credibility if it was even-handed in its concern about riots and mobs in this city,” McFadden said during Danielle Doyle’s sentencing for entering the Capitol on Jan. 6 with a throng of other rioters.
Prosecutors recommended two months of home confinement for Doyle, who is from Oklahoma.
The statements by McFadden, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, were a major departure from the other federal judges overseeing insurrection cases so far, despite other Trump appointees on the court assigned to the hundreds of cases.
They have generally discussed seriousness of the crime and its unique place in American history – different from other violent free speech protests because it sought to disrupt the peaceful transition of power.

AND THAT IS BULL****, PURE AND SIMPLE!
PURSUANT TO OUR CONSTUTION AS WRITTEN, NO TRANSFER OF POWER AT THE PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OCCURS ON 6 JANUARY!
THE TRANSFER OF POWER OCCURS AT NOON ON 20 JANUARY.
On 20 January, 2021, Trump PEACEFULLY LEFT the white house, and on 20 January 2021, Joe Biden PEACEFULLY ENTERED the white house, so why are we continually being this same IGNORANT BULL**** about disrupting a peaceful transfer of power on 6 January 2021?
Getting back to CNN saying that it is Liz Cheney and not Elaine Luria who is vice chair of the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS, we have:
The news sent shockwaves through the Republican conference, starting at the top with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who argued without evidence that any telecommunication company that complied with the committee’s request would be violating federal law.
Although McCarthy’s name was not included in the preservation of records request list, he notably spoke to the former President during the height of the riot, and the contents of that call have continued to be of great interest.
Thompson has repeatedly not ruled out calling McCarthy to testify in front of the committee if that is where the investigation leads.
Targeting individual GOP lawmakers came just days after the select committee requested a massive tranche of documents from several US government agencies with a broad list of targets including communications and records within the Trump White House and campaign on and before January 6.
The committee also recently sent letters to 15 social media companies, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, seeking to understand how misinformation and efforts to overturn the election by both foreign and domestic actors existed on their platforms.
“Representative Cheney has demonstrated again and again her commitment to getting answers about January 6th, ensuring accountability, and doing whatever it takes to protect democracy for the American people.”
“Her leadership and insights have shaped the early work of the Select Committee and this appointment underscores the bipartisan nature of this effort,” Thompson said of Cheney in a statement.
“We are fortunate to have a partner of such strength and courage, and I look forward to continuing our work together as we uncover the facts, tell the American people the full story of January 6th, and ensure that nothing like that day ever happens again,” the chairman added.

So who really is the Vice Chair of the Pelosi-ite WITCH HUNTERS?
Is it really Elaine Luria, who claims she is?
Or is it Liz Cheney, as the main-stream media claims?
