election for many months, an there was no new mayor, and so the old mayor stayed in office this was his plan. when you read this report, his plan was to stay in office, if necessary, by marshall law and that he would have t declare because there is going to be this huge riot that he was instigating, and his peopl were instigating incredible plot we a real coup attempt. and i think that - to question, i m sorry check along to say that, that when the 147 republicans who late that night, after they got a corporal back in their hands and we re going to continue on with certifying the election 147 republican members of th house, and senators, voted voted to overthrow the election, to overturn it, to not certify joe biden as the duly electe
somebody you don t know. somebody you don t know. dana: somebody who does not have a persona. katie: we hear a lot from the left about misinformation, disinformation. the importance of defending democracy, and yet we are seeing even more of what we suspected, proof of it, that the fbi had a heavy hand in the lead up to the 2020 election in suppressing information that could have changed the election. harold: i don t know if it would have changed anything in the election. i am against censorship regardless of whom is instigating at or whom it might help in the process, and some may say this could have helped democrats. i am most concerned it if these reports are accurate, and i have a reason to believe that they may not be, why was the fbi and twitter asking them to do things? normally when they are trying to gain information, it is either an active investigation underway, or there is something
so first we have to examine why it is people like this continue to get elected. what is it and hopefully, you know they get re-elected but hopefully not. we ve got to examine that and that power structure that keeps them going. but it s the accountability i just coop coming back to. when all is said and done and the january 6th investigation is over, if some of these people who clearly were part of instigating, fomenting violence, inciting the riot, supporting it, if they are not held accountable legally then we have failed and our criminal justice system has failed. so if it s found that they re criminally responsible, they better be held criminally accountable or we re going to continue to experience this and it will simply devolve into absolute chaos. and i think the place where it has probably already devolved, not to suggest it had much to go, is on the internet.
they rek, like, this is old news, no big deal. i mean, where is this country going with respect to the first amendment when it s politically instigated? there was a presidential campaign instigating censorship against the american people. well, of course. i mean, you re the judge. you know much better than as a legal matter. private companies arguably have a right to do what they want with information. the government may not under the bill of rights the first amendment to the bill of rights may not censor information, political information in particular. that s exactly what you had here. we ve seen evidence, proof of the fact, that the fbi then the biden campaign and now the biden administration pressured social media companies, twitter in this case, to withhold relevant facts from the public on the basis of which people might cast their votes. so that s not an attack on democracy. i don t know how we re defining attack on democracy.
november the 14th. although there is no way that actually happened before the committee wraps up its work at the end of the year. which brings me to this. and the clock is ticking. and that pages on the proverbial calendar are flying by. we are a little more than two weeks out from midterm elections that are likely to return republicans to lead one if not both chambers of congress. we are only weeks away from a new congress, where instead of instigating and attempted overthrow of the united states government, we ve been joking vest again of covid s origins, doj supposedly politicized, and hunter biden s, we ll, everything. the 1/6 committee has yet to even release its report, promised before the years, and the panel will give its conclusions and recommendations after the midterms. and then be disbanded by a republican-led house. sorry, america. there is no time to save democracy. you will have to live with election officials being hounded out of office in
