Opinion | Beating a dead horse: Jan. 6 committee has proved what we all knew. Does it even matter? – By Lucian K. Truscott IV (Salon) / Oct 15, 2022
The House Jan. 6 committee, bless its heart, went through it all again on Thursday:
All the lawsuits Trump filed, and lost, attempting to overturn election results in the battleground states, including excerpts of judges’ decisions slapping down 61 of the 62 suits. (No. 62 was a minor technical issue that didn’t change anything.)
The pressure campaign by Trump on elected officials and legislators in battleground states trying to coerce them into helping him overturn the election, including the infamous hour-long phone call four days before the Jan. 6 insurrection to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger when Trump asked him to “find” enough votes so he could carry the state. “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” Trump pleaded.
Pressure on the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of election fraud, which resulted in Attorney General William Barr telling Trump that all his charges of fraud were “bullshit” just before he went public in an AP interview and resigned.
