Even if the ratings have been mediocre, Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 show trial has had its arresting moments, as you might expect from a made-for-TV drama produced by a former ABC News president.
Video of former Attorney General Bill Barr saying he always thought election-fraud claims by then-President Donald Trump were “bulls–t” was a highlight.
“I thought, ‘Boy if [Trump] really believes this stuff . . . he’s become detached from reality,” Barr told the committee in a snippet of recorded testimony played at Monday’s hearing.
Barr’s declaration in December 2020, four weeks after the election, that the Justice Department had found no evidence to support allegations of widespread voter fraud was the death blow to efforts to change the result.
If Trump had stopped then and understood that winning the two Senate runoffs in Georgia the following month were crucial to his legacy, the country would have been spared a lot of suffering and Joe Biden’s adventurism would have been kept in check.
Trump was the most damaged by the January 6 riot. It handed his enemies a gift, discredited future revelations of election rigging and overshadowed the achievements of his presidency.
But there are so many jarring hypocrisies and disconnects in the partisan J6 committee, and its grand narrative of a conspiracy orchestrated by Trump and assorted Proud Boys to overturn the election, that we all have to be detached from reality to believe it.
