Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson (D) is making the most of his 15 minutes of taxpayer funded fame.
Actually, thanks to the incessant narrative-pushing of the pop media and the overall strategies of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to make the January 6, 2021 chaos on the Capitol seem like it was something it was not, Bennie is getting more than 15 minutes – and he’s burning a lot of taxpayer cash as he runs his little show.
The most recent indicator of how desperately unhinged he and his fellow storytellers are from reality and from the Constitution he swore to uphold is his recent claim that should former Trump Administration Department of Justice (DOJ) official Jeffrey Clark, or anyone else, invoke and use their right to remain silent -- aka their right not to engage in compelled speech -- as is protected by the famous FIFTH AMENDMENT, that he and the others are “part and parcel guilty.”
