In his monologue Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel expressed some frustration with the Jan. 6 Committee, and deep skepticism about the possibility it will ever hold Trump responsible for his role in the attack on the Capitol.
“Nothing bad ever actually happens to Donald Trump,” Kimmel lamented, before dismissing the committee itself as “just a Neighborhood Watch group hoping the cops show up.”
This bit of Kimmel’s monologue was inspired by the news this week that the committee is getting ready to release its final report.
Specifically, according to multiple reports, the committee is “considering” recommending charges be filed against Trump, a recommendation that would only be “symbolic.” And as we said, Kimmel was pretty sure nothing is ever gonna happen.
“The other big news that came out of the House is that the January 6 committee — remember all those hearings that aired at even more random times than the World Cup soccer games?...
