The Jan. 6 committee is really strange. I think they are trying to make President Donald Trump look bad so he can’t run for president in 2024. Everyone knew there could be trouble at the rally because of intelligence and the large crowd size. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund pleaded with Lt. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, director of the Army Staff, and House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving to send in the National Guard, but they initially refused because of “optics.”

Two days after the riot, I watched Trump’s entire Jan. 6 speech, and I heard nothing in it promoting violence. Trump said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Trump lost the 2020 election by 7 million popular votes. What makes the committee think he could win in 2024, unless it’s because President Joe Biden is so bad with the economy that anyone could beat him?

My wallet loved Trump. My wallet doesn’t care for Biden at all. I guess Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care about my wallet, just about her party winning.
