Six years later, it\u2019s worth asking if her party has learned anything about why Trump beat her and why he retains such a vast following.<\/p>\n<p>To judge by the January 6 hearings, the answer is no, hell no. Were they wiser, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her henchmen would have realized a kangaroo court treatment of the Capitol riot would not be persuasive because it would not be trusted by nearly half the country.<\/p>\n<p>Her ignorance is America\u2019s loss. Many of the gritty details the investigation panel has presented would have wider impact if the members were not so one-sided. But because they are, the proceedings smack of another partisan exercise, a Trump Impeachment, Act 3.<\/p>\n<p>For example, testimony last week by former White House insiders revealed the strong pushback among much of Trump\u2019s inner circle against his claim the 2020 election was stolen and detailed then-Vice President Mike Pence\u2019s principled refusal to halt certification of the Electoral College results. Tuesday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance by officials from Arizona and Georgia, states Joe Biden took from the GOP column, showed the extreme efforts Trump and his lawyers made to overturn the results in those states.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump\u2019s position on the election was well known, the first-person accounts illustrated how outlandish his proposed remedies were and how little hard evidence he had. But in refusing to seat any Republicans who did not start with the view that Trump should be forever barred from public life, Pelosi undermined the findings before they were revealed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-624.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi\" class=\"wp-image-22752162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-624.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-624.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-624.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> conference on Jun. 9, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP\/Jacquelyn Martin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Only_part_of_the_story\"><\/span>Only part of the story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As George Washington University Law School\u2019s Jonathan Turley and other legal experts have noted, the lack of any semblance of a cross-examination of witnesses means viewers are getting only the part of the story that supports \u00adPelosi\u2019s agenda. Show trials are \u00adun-American, even when Trump is in the dock.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Although I believe Trump needs to change his tune about the 2020 election if he intends to run in 2024, the mental hurdle against trusting the Dems\u2019 performance peaks with every appearance of Rep. Adam Schiff. His face makes it impossible not to think of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax he pushed beyond the breaking point and his mad-dog effort to turn a Trump 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into a cause for removal.<\/p>\n<p>In that sense, Pelosi &amp; Co. continue to repeat the essence of Clinton\u2019s mistake. Hillary\u2019s 2016 thesis was that all she had to do was plant concocted \u201cevidence\u201d with the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> that Trump was a Russian stooge, get the FBI to investigate and voters would migrate to her side in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>When they didn\u2019t, Clinton called them names, most notably at a \u00adprivate fund-raiser.<br \/>\u201cYou know, to just be grossly <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>istic, you could put half of Trump\u2019s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,\u201d she said. \u201cThe racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic \u2014 you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently it was news to her that calling voters stupid and accusing them of being bigots is not the way to charm them. Nor was it helpful to the anti-Trump movement in the long run that Clinton\u2019s claims about Russia were fake news and the FBI had spied on his presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-621.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Hillary Clinton\" class=\"wp-image-22752159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-621.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-621.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/goodwin-621.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hillary Clinton speaks on stage during \u201cBelow The Belt\u201d New York Premiere at the Museum of Modern Art on May 24, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images\/Cindy Ord<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Similarly, Pelosi\u2019s insistence on conformity of viewpoint and contempt for those who refuse to subscribe to her vendetta helps explain Trump\u2019s staying power even now.<br \/>Any normal politician would have been abandoned because of the January 6 riot itself.

Just last week, panel chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi said he did not envision a referral to the Justice Department urging that Trump be prosecuted. \u201cThat\u2019s not our job,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cOur job is to look at Jan. 6. What caused it and make recommendations after that .\u2009.\u2009. We don\u2019t have the authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other members of the panel, including Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican ally of Pelosi, quickly pushed back, saying no decision had been made, a suggestion that she and others want charges brought against Trump.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Although Attorney General Merrick Garland does not need congressional referral to bring a case, there are other, more substantial hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>Most important, many legal experts say they have not seen compelling evidence Trump committed a crime during the run-up to the Capitol riot or in his efforts to overturn the election. Without a slam-dunk case showing clear intent to break the law, they believe the Justice Department would not take the leap of bringing criminal charges against an ex-president for acts he committed as president.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, if Dems want to make certain that Trump remains a powerful nemesis, they should get Garland to bring any case he can as soon as possible. To Trump supporters, the prosecution would be persecution and fresh proof that Washington is a swamp that only he can drain.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crime_still_plaguing_Hizzoner\"><\/span>Crime still plaguing Hizzoner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is some limited good news on the city\u2019s crime front compared to last year.
