In the wake of his Blaze Media reporting on The Truth About January 6th, such as Proof of Perjury, Steve Baker has now been notified that he is due to be arrested over his January 6 reporting or, to be more specific, that the FBI wants him to self-surrender to the agency in the morning in Dallas.
Hopefully, friends and allies (VIPs?) will be present to film and record the scenes…
Instapundit's Ed Driscoll has more… (And many thanks to Sarah Hoyt…)
Just for the record, here are three incontrovertible truths about January 6 written over the past three years:
• The January 6 Protest Summarized in One Single Sentence
Please stand to attention for a one-single-sentence summary of the January 6 protest, or the January 6 riot, or the January 6 mêlée, or the January 6 controversy, or the January 6 committee — or whatever you choose to call it:
The critical date is not January 6;It is not January 6 (2021) — repeated (quite deliberately) ad nauseam by the Democrats and the mainstream media alike (it is no accident that that date is the name of the committee that could just as well have been called, say, the Congress Breach Committee) — that is the significant date; no, the historical date is November 3 (2020).
the critical date is November 3.
• The Central Absurd Inconsistency of the Ray Epps Conundrum Described in Two Sentences
Well, Leftists, which is it?
EITHER the January 6 protests were so wicked that the fiendish scoundrels who participated — all of them (not least the ringleaders) — should be persecuted to the full extent of the law.
OR ELSE, insofar as we accept that one of the protesters — and a ringleader, at that — is no more than a "poor schmuck" who should be left alone (as the man most visible in urging the masses to march on the capitol was described by one irate Democrat member of the Jan. 6 Committee), then all (or at least the majority) of the other protesters should be left off the hook, exactly like Ray Epps, no more and no less.
• American Thinker: Let's Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election"; It's Unprofessional Journalism
It is easier for the world to accept
a simple lie than a complex truth
— Alexis de Tocqueville
After almost three years — and as Democrats in Colorado and Maine ban Donald Trump from the Centennial State's ballot — it is beyond time for the media to stop "reporting" that "Trump tried to overturn a presidential election" and to quit referring matter-of-factly: to "the election that Trump lost"; to "Trump's defeat" and his "baseless" "false claims"; and to "Trump is challenging the results" of "Biden's victory (in, say, Georgia)" and to "swing the election in his favor".… This is not a neutral, objective, and non-partisan view of of the facts of the 2020 election. Far from it. No. It is the (self-serving) DNC version. It is akin to asking "When did you stop beating your wife?"
Phrases like “baseless fraud claims”, “sham election investigations”, and “false claims of election fraud” come straight from the Democratic Party. At a minimum, readers and viewers are used to circumspect "allegedlys," to prudent "reportedlys," and to cautious "accused ofs". What happened to them?
