When you step back and begin to look at the work and timing of the January 6th select committee, a very peculiar and convenient trend is beginning to emerge.
You see, just as the nation prepares to get down to the nitty-gritty part of the 2022 midterm election cycle, the committee is ramping up their efforts to disparage Donald Trump. This has likely been the plan all along, as they understand that Trump isn’t planning to announce his 2024 presidential campaign until after that election as ended. This gives the committee a rather obvious deadline to do the most amount of damage possible.
But now, in another of his patented 4D chess moves, Trump is considering a move to trounce the committee.
Republicans are bracing for Donald J. Trump to announce an unusually early bid for the White House, a move designed in part to shield the former president from a stream of damaging revelations emerging from investigations into his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.
While many Republicans would welcome Mr. Trump’s entry into the race, his move would also exacerbate persistent divisions over whether the former president is the party’s best hope to win back the White House. The party is also divided over whether his candidacy would be an unnecessary distraction from midterm elections […]
Trump announcing early would also force Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to rethink his potential candidacy, which the Sunshine State lawmaker has been a bit coy about despite polling and pundits continuing to push the idea.
