SELECTED PASSAGES FROM CHAIRMAN BENNIE G. THOMPSONS FOREWORD:
This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort devised and driven by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of power...we will present new findings about Trump’s pressure campaign on officials from the local level all the way up to his Vice President, orchestrated and designed solely to throw out the will of the voters and keep him in office past the end of his elected term.
...When his scheme to stay in power through political pressure hit roadblocks, he relentlessly pushed ahead with a parallel plan: summoning a mob to gather in Washington, DC on January 6th, promising things “will be wild!” That mob showed up. They were armed. They were angry. They believed the “Big Lie” that the election had been stolen. And when Donald Trump pointed them toward the Capitol and told them to “fight like hell,” that’s exactly what they did. Donald Trump lit that fire. But in the weeks beforehand, the kindling he ultimately ignited was amassed in plain sight.
That’s why as part of the Select Committee’s investigation, we took a hard look at whether enough was done to mitigate that risk. Our investigative teams focused on the way intelligence was gathered, shared, and assessed. We probed preparations by law enforcement agencies and security responses on the day of the attack. We followed the money, to determine who paid for a number of events in the run-up to the attack and to gain a clearer understanding of the way the former President’s campaign apparatus cashed in on the big lie...
The Select Committee’s conclusion on these matters—particularly dealing with intelligence and law enforcement—is consistent with our broader findings about the causes of January 6th. Were agencies perfect in their preparations for January 6th and their responses as the violence unfolded? Of course not. Relevant oversight committees and watchdogs should continue to find efficiencies and improvements, some of which are laid out in the Committees recommendations.
But the shortfall of communications, intelligence, and law enforcement around January 6th was much less about what they did or did not know. It was more about what they could not know. The President of the United States inciting a mob to march on the Capitol...Prior to January 6th, it was unimaginable. Whatever weaknesses existed in the policies, procedures, or institutions, they were not to blame for what happened on that day.

MY COMMENTS:
FROM THIS INFORMATION TAKEN FROM CHAIRMAN BENNIE G. THOMPSONS FOREWORD
MESSAGE ONE THING IS PERFECTLY CLEAR:
VIRTUALLY EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTEMPT TO
THROW OUT THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION, FROM THREATS TO POLITICAL
PRESSURE, CULMINATING IN THE ATTEMPTED MOB TAKEOVER OF THE CAPITOL,
WAS DESIGNED AND ORCHESTRATED BY DONALD TRUMP.
THERE WAS NO SECRET SOCIETY OF CONSPIRATORS WHO BEGGED HIM TO "FIGHT TO
STAY IN OFFICE." HIS ENORMOUS EGO COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE PHRASE:
"NO DONALD, YOU LOST. TIME TO BEHAVE LIKE A DECENT HUMAN BEING, AND
ARRANGE FOR A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER."
WELL, IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING THIS WEBSITE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, YOU
KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP BEHAVING LIKE A TREASONOUS SOCIOPATH HARDLY
SUPRISED ME. REMEMBER THIS:
The following exchange occurred during a White House Press conference on Wednesday, Sept 24, 2020.
'...Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, “Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."
He is making an accusation of FRAUD, BEFORE THE ELECTION, ON A PROCESS HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE ON WHICH TO CONDEMN. He is obviously setting up an excuse to explain his eventual defeat, in case that scenario came true. He did the exact same thing in 2016, to explain a potential loss to Hillary Clinton. (Unluckily for us, the fix was in, and he stole the election.)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
WELL, THIS COMMISSION DECIDED THAT TREASON BY A U.S. PRESIDENT ISN'T SOMETHING "WE HAVE TO GET OVER, FOR THE SAKE OF THE U.S." NO, IGNORING IT WOULD BE A BIGGER CRIME THAN EVEN TRUMP COMMITTED, FOR IT MEANS THAT WE DIDN'T CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE FUTURE FROM THOSE WHO MIGHT TRY IT AGAIN.
DAVID MCDONALD PUBLISHER.
I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.
WHEN THE U.S. CAPITOL WAS ATTACKED,
EVERY SINGLE MONUMENT,
EVERY SINGLE MEMORIAL,
EVERY SINGLE CEMETERY,
ON THESE SHORES...
AND THOSE FAR FROM HOME...
WAS ALSO ATTACKED...
LET US REMEMBER TRUE PATRIOTS, TRUE HEROES.
SEE PART 2.
