"Fifteen former and current staffers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, expressed concerns that important findings unrelated to Trump will not become available to the American public…

Several committee staff members were floored earlier this month when they were told that a draft report would focus almost entirely on Trump and the work of the committee’s “Gold Team,” excluding reams of other investigative work.

Potentially left on the cutting room floor, or relegated to an appendix, were many revelations from the “Blue Team” — the group that dug into the law enforcement and intelligence community’s failure to assess the looming threat and prepare for the well-forecast attack on the Capitol. The proposed report would also cut back on much of the work of the Green Team, which looked at financing for the Jan. 6 attack, and the Purple Team, which examined militia groups and extremism.

“We all came from prestigious jobs, dropping what we were doing because we were told this would be an important fact-finding investigation that would inform the public,” said one former committee staffer. “But when [the committee] became a Cheney 2024 campaign, many of us became discouraged.” "

Are you saying that the best remedy for government misinformation is to take drugs?

This isn't very sophisticated or enlightening.

He's saying the best remedy for Bluto is to get messed up.

Most of what Bluto says is dumbass. I used to call it propaganda, but the constant lying has enough Republicans rolling their eyes that they keep losing elections. In fact, some morons in Arizona went for the big lie and refused to certify the votes in their county. If that doesn't wind up in court, that means 3 elections will now have Democrat winners. Which is absurdly funny, like shooting yourself in the foot.

So you believed the entire list that Blutosays posted, and now you'res saying that he's a yucky person?

Why not explore the yuckiness of the institutions that provided that list to all of us.

You think I'm getting things "bass ackwards" because I want to concentrate on that list of official lies and who provided it, while you want to focus on a poster's merit or lack thereof?

Ad hom is a way of getting everything backwards.

It is a backwards methodology.

What he posted was mostly lies, and he does that a lot.

He would love it if I chased him around debunking the same dumbass lies a 100 times.

The good news is that he, and his kind, are losers. What should have been a red wave got turned into a red puddle thanks to their incompetence.

RUSSIAN COLLUSION was fed to the American public 24-7 on Democratic Party affiliated media.

This lie was "made true" by paid liars who are still there lying their little hearts out.

Without accurate information sources, the USA is not a democracy of any kind.

By bullying the poster who pointed this out, you have made yourself look like someone who always believes the lies of his in-group, which is no better than any cult member or dog.

The assumption that the propagandist is always the winner and the progagandee is always the loser in the transaction is not always the case. There can be a lot of competition in some segments of the propaganda market. Propaganda content producers can be discarded by their customer base if they fail to satisfy.

During the first campaign, the Trump team met with Russians many times, and lied about it to the FBI over a hundred times.

You like anything that makes America look bad, but spewing garbage doesn't make you look good. Start with the Mueller Report, all of it, seriously.
