OPINION:


The Jan. 6 committee is not really a committee of Congress like normal people understand the term, nor is it an arm of the judiciary, nor is it restrained by things like rules of evidence, restrictions against hearsay or requirements to share information with opposing counsel.

There is no opposing counsel. There are no judge, no jury, no rules and no cross-examination of witnesses. Nothing but a propaganda machine, replete with soundbites and visuals and slick production values. The committee even hired a television producer to improve the look.

The Jan. 6 reality-television show has nothing to do with assessing guilt and assigning punishment. That is, as it has been for some time, happening over at the D.C. courthouse, where it is grinding patiently through the actual administration of justice in this matter.

About 315 defendants have now been tried or reached plea deals. Most of the sentences have matched the relatively modest severity of the crimes, as defendants have been given time served or probation. The median sentence is about 45 days in jail or home detention. The most aggressive of the sentence is 60 months, or about what a repeat burglar would get in most places.

The Jan. 6 committee television show also has nothing to do with congressional oversight. Not one member of the committee has introduced legislation relating to any particular gap in federal statutes exposed by the events of Jan. 6.
