Yet House Democrats impeached Donald Trump on Jan. 13, 2021 on the basis of claiming that riot was spontaneously triggered by the president\u2019s speech at the White House that day despite the first violent action occurring before Trump finished speaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,\u201d GOP Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said in a statement announcing her intent to impeach. \u201cEverything that followed was his doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee Cheney now serves on as vice chair, however, has embraced a new theory with claims the Capitol assault was a pre-planned attack by far-right extremists. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe House select committee investigating January 6 appears to believe the Capitol attack included a coordinated assault perpetrated by the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys militia groups that sought to physically stop the certification of Joe Biden\u2019s election victory,\u201d The Guardian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/apr\/08\/capitol-attack-january-6-proud-boys-oath-keepers\">reported<\/a> Friday. \u201cThe panel\u2019s working theory \u2013 which has not been previously reported though the Justice Department has indicted some militia group leaders \u2013 crystallized this week after obtaining evidence of the coordination in testimony and non-public video, according to two sources familiar with the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August, the FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/exclusive-fbi-finds-scant-evidence-us-capitol-attack-was-coordinated-sources-2021-08-20\/\">threw cold water<\/a> on the idea of an \u201corganized plot\u201d staged by far-right groups to storm the Capitol when it briefed the nine-member panel on the agency\u2019s findings. What evidence the Jan. 6 Committee may use conclude otherwise, however, remains under seal as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s deputies have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/04\/pelosi-is-blocking-access-to-house-january-6-records-what-is-she-hiding\/\">blocked<\/a> shared access with minority lawmakers. The FBI has simultaneously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/10\/27\/exclusive-biden-fbi-joins-pelosi-in-blocking-gop-from-investigating-january-6\/\">stonewalled<\/a> GOP requests to circumvent the speaker\u2019s embargo on relevant information to Republicans. Both of these actions may make the committee legally suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Last summer, Pelosi took the self-described \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2021\/07\/21\/nancy-pelosi-kicks-ranking-republicans-jim-jordan-jim-banks-off-partisan-jan-6-commission\/\">unprecedented<\/a>\u201d step of barring Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy\u2019s appointments on the Select Committee for the first time in congressional history. Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, who was appointed to serve as ranking member, has spearheaded Republicans\u2019 separate investigation into the Capitol security failures instead, centered on Pelosi\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/16\/nancy-pelosi-owns-january-6\/\">culpable negligence <\/a>in the run up to Jan. 6. The Jan. 6 Select Committee has explicitly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/07\/20\/politics\/january-6-probe-republican-strategy\/index.html\">pledged to avoid<\/a> probing Pelosi\u2019s conduct despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/sund-riot-national-guard\/2021\/01\/10\/fc2ce7d4-5384-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html\">testimony<\/a> from former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund that the speaker rejected National Guard requests to help six times.<\/p>\n<p>The notion of a coordinated assault on the Capitol undermines Democrats\u2019 claim that Trump and White House staff were solely responsible for the outburst that ensued on congressional grounds. <\/p>\n<p>Then-President Trump, the story went, corralled his supporters in Washington, inflamed that mob, and ordered them to overthrow Congress in an attempted coup. Except the attack started two miles away before Trump\u2019s address was finished, and in his speech the president was explicit in his request that attendees protest \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/12\/no-donald-trump-did-not-incite-an-insurrection\/\">peacefully<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the FBI is still <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/national-security\/597558-fbi-asked-all-offices-to-canvas-for-info-on-dnc-rnc-pipe-bombs\/\">reportedly<\/a> investigating a pair of pipe bombs planted at both the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committe headquarters and found the morning of Jan. 6, lending credence to the committee\u2019s claims of coordinated violence in contradiction to the agency\u2019s findings leaked to the press last summer. Many who showed up to Washington D.C. that day came <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-trump-protest-cases-insight\/arrested-capitol-rioters-had-guns-and-bombs-everyday-careers-and-olympic-medals-idUSKBN29J2V8\">armed<\/a>, no matter what Trump said from the White House ellipse. <\/p>\n<p>The Jan. 6 Committee\u2019s narrative switching ahead of show trial hearings in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/jan-6-committee-prime-time-hearings-418b8cbb-6ac5-48c2-807c-a307b426ba97.html\">prime time<\/a> comes after its conspiracy of a Trump-concocted plan to disband Congress has failed to garner traction among an electorate more worried about gas prices and inflation than a two-hour riot more than a year ago. Democrats on the Jan. 6 Committee admitted last month the probe is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/19\/democrats-admit-jan-6-committee-is-all-about-midterms\/\">all about the midterms<\/a>, and they are openly executing a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/25\/jan-6-committee-claims-its-digital-watergate-is-above-the-law\/\">digital Watergate<\/a>\u201d with demands for private records to harass and demean their political opponents.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
