Editor,
With the Jan. 6 Committee announcing its recommendations to the U.S. Department of Justice to charge Trump with crimes related to the attempted coup by Trump and his allies on that day, I already see the typical criminal response from Trump allies and Congressional Republicans.
Republicans are quick to call the findings of the committee “partisan politics.” Then, to continue their criminal cover up of Trump and their own criminal actions, they even blame the Capitol Police for the riot and attempted coup. Who in their right minds blames the police for actions of rioters and attackers of our nations’ capital egged on by Trump, especially when it is all broadcasted worldwide on TV. That’s like blaming the cops when someone robs a bank, saying it’s the cops’ fault because they weren’t prepared or didn’t have enough manpower. Then, on top of all that, Trump tries his typical “accuse the accusers” diversion trick by calling the FBI and the DOJ “thugs.”
Enforcing the Rule of Law and the U.S. Constitution in our country has never been, and will never be, “Partisan Politics.” If Trump is innocent, then let him go to court and deal with the charges, just like any other person in America.

Mr. Oberg undermines his own argument by suggesting that Mr. Trump should be subject to justice before a legitimate court. The Jan 6 hearings were a political spectacle that allowed only one side of the story with the stated objective to keep Trump from running for an elective office. I agree, if there were crimes committed he should face the consequences. But, has one noticed that the alleged crimes were deferred to the Justice Department where they will die a slow death likely due to lack of substantive evidence or some high level Democrats playing a duplicitous role? This will be swept under the rug. As was said before, we are all created equal but some are more equal than others. By now, even Mr. Oberg and Jorg should realize that.
Sigh, here we go again with another yawner – Mr. Oberg with a repeat of easily debunked Democrat talking points. Hey, Mr. Obert, take a gander over to our great President Trump’s Twitter account and read the first two tweets you see on January 6. What part of the kangaroo court known as the Jan. 6 commission doesn’t understand “remain peaceful” or “Stay peaceful!”? While you’re at it, you may want to review the recent report of communications showing Pelosi failed the US Capitol on January 6. Something we all knew. As for enforcing the law, why don’t you relay that message to treasonous Biden and ask why he isn’t enforcing our borders? Let’s hope the new Congress brings some credibility back to the House.
Oh, my goodness, TY! What drivel you keep repeating ad nauseam! Not only don’t you understand what Mr. Oberg writes, but you don’t even grasp that you don’t understand it! That’s D-K with a twist, to put it mildly.
Oh, my goodness, Jorg, your repeated drivel is “ad nauseous.” However, I am honored you’ve awarded me three exclamation points – the only valid points you ever have. A belated Merry Christmas to me! Now what exactly did you read when you looked at our great President Trump’s Twitter account for January 6? Seems you also don’t understand what “peaceful” means. You may want to invest in a dictionary in the New Year, a guide to the US Constitution, a guide to the Electoral College, and a history lesson on who founded the KKK and enacted Jim Crow laws. I can add a few more after you’ve done this homework and have gained some knowledge on these subjects.
Maybe a test of memory, too… Remember a few months ago, when you implored us to be more respectable and agreeable yet you violated your own plea that same day and continue to do so? Perhaps you don’t understand what “respectable” and “agreeable” mean because of said lack of dictionary? Perhaps referencing a dictionary before submitting LTE’s or comments will lend some credence to your future contributions. Happy New Year! BTW, what’s this Dairy-Kween (per Stanford U., “Queen” is no longer in favor) effect you keep referring to - lack of a dairy digestion enzyme or high glucose readings?
TY: Keeping in mind that everything is relative, this is by far one of the very best things you’ve ever written! I am so impressed, with my kudos well deserved, - and worthy of a triple!!!
