House Democrats have just added to the list of partisan opponents they are determined to defame, bankrupt and otherwise destroy. 

Their majority yesterday endorsed the January 6th Committee’s request for criminal prosecution of two more of President Donald Trump’s key subordinates, his Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and trade adviser Peter Navarro. Others may yet be added to the list that already includes former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

Let’s get real: January 6th was not an insurrection. The committee investigating it is not legal. The prosecutions they seek are aimed at taking out the Democrats’ political targets, not getting to the truth.

And, most importantly, the committee is obscuring, not pursuing, evidence that what actually occurred that day was officially-sponsored “direct action” – not an attempt by Trump supporters to overthrow the U.S. government.

This is Frank Gaffney.
