The January 6th Committee held another hearing on Tuesday to much pomp and circumstance from the mainstream media. Did the members deliver direct evidence that Donald Trump orchestrated a coup? I think you can guess the answer to that question, but we did get more of the prior strategy of vomiting out information in hopes things get so confused that people connect dots that are miles apart.

Watching this committee is like watching a toddler eat a piece of birthday cake. Things just go flying in all directions while adoring onlookers talk about how great it is. And yeah, it’s a big show, but what are you left with in the end except for cake smeared everywhere?

So what was the big “bombshell” this go around? Apparently, Donald Trump tried to call someone who didn’t answer the phone. Yes, that’s what’s leading the news out of the latest hearing.

The person whom former President Donald Trump was accused of having contacted following the Jan. 6 hearing when former administration aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified was a member of the White House support staff, sources told ABC News.

Trump’s alleged contact with the individual was described on Tuesday by the House Jan. 6 committee’s vice chair, Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who did not name the person.

“After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation — a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings,” she said at the close of the most recent committee hearing.

Cheney said the witness did not answer the call.

“Their lawyer alerted us, and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice,” she said.

There are a few things to note here. First of all, while I’m no lawyer, I’d suspect that in order to illegally tamper with a witness, you’d need to actually talk to the witness about the specific matter at hand, right? In this case, the accusation is that Donald Trump tried to call someone and that they didn’t answer. For some reason, the committee then felt the need to report that to the Department of Justice. I guess Trump will be charged with malicious intent to make a phone call or something?

You don’t even have to go that far, though. How would Donald Trump know who is on the witness list for the January 6th Committee? The committee’s entire act is to keep the names hidden, rolling out witnesses in slow motion in order to generate the most press hype. So even if Trump had gotten in contact with this supposed staffer, he would have no intent to tamper with a witness because there was no way he could know the person was a witness.

This is a perfect example of how ridiculous the January 6th Committee is. All of their “evidence” boils down to marginal innuendo. They take the most mundane revelations, package them as game-changing, and then have the media pretend like dots are being connected. But dots aren’t being connected. In fact, several months into this charade, we are still not an inch closer to having proof Donald Trump planned January 6th or was aware it would occur, which was the committee’s chief accusation going into this.

Amazingly, though, news of that phone call isn’t the dumbest thing to come out of Tuesday’s hearing. MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade now believes Trump could be charged with manslaughter.

During a panel discussion on MSNBC, McQuade asserted that Trump and his associates could not rely on free speech arguments to protect them from criminal charges.

“If you can make that connection that this was a planned attack, you could supersede that seditious conspiracy indictment to add Trump or [Roger Stone] or anyone else who was involved in the planning,” she explained.

“The other thing that is coming clear to me is there is a potential charge here against Donald Trump for manslaughter,” McQuade said, referring to the seven deaths connected to the Jan. 6 attack.

Astonishingly, McQuade is a former US attorney. These are the caliber of people who are given the power to destroy people’s lives on a whim at the DOJ. And how does her theory make sense anyway? Has anyone in the history of the United States ever been charged with manslaughter because the cops shot someone during a riot they weren’t even present at? And again, what evidence is there that this was a planned attack, led by Donald Trump?

We are so far down the rabbit hole with this committee that nothing even begins to make sense anymore. Far from laying out a concise, fact-based case against Trump, we now have analysts ranting about manslaughter charges and Liz Cheney pretending that not talking to a witness is witness tampering. It’s parodical.
