Simon & Schuster will distribute the Jan 6 committee report but with a twist

American Thinker 

The folks at Mother Jones, the unabashedly hard-left magazine, cannot get over the horror: Simon & Schuster is planning to distribute the final report from the January 6 Committee. That’s not the problem. The problem is that the forward will be from a “conspiracy theorist.” Translation: Someone who believes that the events on January 6 may have involved a large amount of federal activity, including entrapment, is going to be able to have a say about a committee report that was issued following a Stalinist proceeding without any semblance of due process.

Here's what Mother Jones has to say:

With the January 6 hearings dominating the headlines, publishing giant Simon & Schuster has announced that it will distribute the final report of the congressional committee investigating the insurrection. But there is something odd about the Simon & Schuster announcement: This edition of the report will come with a foreword from Darren Beattie—a former Trump speechwriter who was fired from the White House for attending a conference that is popular with white nationalists. More recently, Beattie has spread pro-Trump, far-right conspiracy theories about the attack on the US Capitol.

 .....Beattie and the Revolver have also carefully examined whatever footage they could from events on January 6. Notably, the Capitol Police have refused to release some 14,000 hours of footage, suggesting that there’s a whole lot more to events on that day than we’re privy to.....

Based on examining that footage, there’s at least credible evidence that (a) well-prepared people, including Ray Epps, deliberately encouraged and steered people into the Capitol; (b) the same well-prepared people methodically removed all fencing and signage that would have warned late-comers that they were trespassing; (c) the same military-style discipline was seen in the attacks on the Capitol’s windows and doors; and (d) the police were inviting people in, again depriving them of knowledge that the People’s House was forbidden to them.

When it comes to Epps, Mother Jones has a bit of its own disinformation. It claims that the only Epps footage shows him whispering something to Ryan Samsel before the latter confronted an officer. In fact, if you go to the link in the above paragraph, you can see two days’ worth of footage showing Epps actively encouraging people to “go into the Capitol.” Incitement much? And yet the FBI won’t touch him."
