I thought it was a brilliant idea to have the young woman, the granddaughter of a marine who served in WWII, testify about how, as a Capital police person, she tried to hold the insurrectionist back. Very compelling testimony from an excellent witness, I thought. Maybe most outrageous moment - when someone told Trump the crowd was chanting to hang Pence, and Trump said ‘He deserves it.’ did he say that? or did he say "maybe we should"? I think what Trump said was ‘maybe he deserves it.’

I don’t like Pence, but hie was an impeccable VP for Trump, always standing there at his elbow smiling - and Trump thought he deserved to be hanged. Incredible. Very good connect the dots on the Proud Boys and that other militant group, outlining their well planned strategy to attack the Capital, and film clips of them moving as a team through the crowds. Of course, they didn’t have to convince me about what happened. I don’t know if they convinced anyone who wasn’t already a believer. Know for sure they didn’t sway Cruz, who was running his mouth about what a waste of time it would be to watch these. Next testimony will be Monday. i would be very surprised if there were not MILLIONS of people who paid almost no attention to this. remember, Jan 6th was actually a major pandemic peak. people had lots of things to worry about- their health, their jobs, their future. this may be SOME people's first exposure to events of that day. it really depends on if there are any curious among them. i doubt it can help Trump, but it might not hurt him, either. except in the eyes of the law. I heard on the TV tubes this AM that 2 million people have watched the new footage of the assault that was released last night from the committee. My first reaction was ‘oh great, 2 million people are watching what happened in horror and will be inspired to make sure it doesn’t happen again.’ Then I realized these might be MAGA people getting off on watching other MAGA people assaulting the Capital, beating up cops, chanting’Nancy’ and Hang Pence’ as they roamed the halls. So I don’t know if that viewership is good or bad.

Kushner looked like a fool.
Cheney was talking about how after J6 basically all of Trumps legal team threatened repeatedly to quit, which Cheney said was unprecedented.
Then they show Jared being asked about this, and Jared just shrugged and said he didn’t take the threats seriously.
Jared had been working on a book about his Middle East negotiations when J6 occurred, and rather than spend his time trying to get Trump to concede, he stayed in his office and wrote a 40000 word manuscript for a book he is publishing in August - a WH memoir.
Jared announced on November 5th, when Trump kept insisting he had won, that he and Ivanka were moving to Florida, and that opened up a vacuum around Trump that was taken up by conspiracy nuts like Sydney Powell and Giuliani.
Kushner took an online master class by James Patterson on how to write a book. Plus he had three ghost writers.
I hope the book is a flop. He claims he checked out when Giuliani checked in - coward. I know he’s trying to rehab his image but he should have to wear his service to Trump like an albatross around his neck for the rest of his life. He should have been in the Oval Office insisting Trump had to comply with the constitution, not hiding out scribbling a tell all memoir while the dumpster fire raged unchecked.

In response to Ivanka saying she respected Barrs position that the election fraud idea was BS daddy Trump says Ivanka does not look at or study election results. She had checked out.

Such a coward. McCarthy should not be a leader of anything. McCarthy a follower. Bad News, All: Kevin McCarthy Says ‘Everybody in the Country’ Bears Responsibility for the Capitol Riot
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said everyone in the United States is responsible for the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Well, that’s a bummer. On that day, supporters of Donald Trump rioted at the Capitol in an attempt to stop certification of the 2020 election, which Trump baselessly claimed was rigged against him. They succeeded in delaying certification for several hours. Trump held a rally in Washington, D.C. earlier in the day and urged attendees to march to the Capitol to “show strength.” A week later, McCarthy said on the House floor that Trump “bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.” McCarthy later walked back that claim in an effort to regain Trump’s favor. However, it wasn’t until Thursday when McCarthy revealed the true culprits in the Capitol riot: us! “You’ve said both publicly and privately after Jan. 6 that you thought Trump bore some responsibility for the attack,” the reporter began. “Do you still feel like he was in any way responsible for Jan. 6?” Appearing at a press conference on Thursday just hours before a primetime hearing of the House Jan. 6 committee, McCarthy was asked whether the former president is responsible. “I’ve answered that many times,” McCarthy responded. “I thought everybody in the country beared [sic] some responsibility, based upon what has been going on – the riots on the streets, the others.” That’s right. We – all of us – bear responsibility for Jan. 6. Yes, the minority leader is talking to you, Bill. You too, Amanda. Alex? Oh, you better believe you had a hand in that riot. Also, let me tell you, Sarah, you might be more responsible than anyone. For shame. And Kipp! Oh, I see you, Kipp, trying to hide behind your monitor. Don’t act like you didn’t have a hand in this mess, friendo. Own it, buddy. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go sit quietly and think about what I’ve done. Bad News, All: Kevin McCarthy Says ‘Everybody in the Country’ Bears Responsibility for the Capitol Riot If only I hadn't started this thread. Everytime I heard one of them say "the fuse was lit" during the hearing, I knew they had read your thread!

Are these the same people who were calling and calling on Jan 6th trying to get Trump to call off his mob? Carlson criticized other networks' decision to do so, and taking aim at the hearings themselves. "The whole thing is insulting. In fact, it's deranged," he said. "And we're not playing along." Host Laura Ingraham said on her show, "The Ingraham Angle," that Democrats had managed to put together a boring show with the hearings. "Democrats and liberals, they've been flopping in prime-time television for years. It's always the same, right? It's misleading information, vicious innuendo, attempts to connect the dots that never quite pay off. The drumbeat, constant drumbeat of demonization and distraction," she said. Hannity called the hearings the "dullest, the most boring." He called them a "multi-hour Democratic fundraiser," without offering any evidence, and a "made-for-TV smear campaign against President Trump featuring sliced and diced video that fits their pre-determined political narrative." www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/as-fox-news-refused-to-air-the-jan-6-hearing-hosts-bragged-about-the-move-said-dems-were-flopping-and-called-it-a-made-for-tv-smear-campaign/ar-AAYiphF?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=3f6b6e67a84a4b28a8c38ea662bd5464

The GOP strategy is to keep turning the conversation to the current problems like inflation and baby formula and pretend the past is better left in the past. Which would be fine if the MAGA king doesn’t insist on a daily basis that he didn’t lose, he was cheated, and if the GOP would stop running these Big Lie candidates that Trump endorses to try to set things up for a success election theft in 2024. We need to make sure no populist thug of any political bent never gets as close to an insurrection as Trump did.

Of course when you have a contraction amongst manufacturers, and one of those shuts down due to contamination AND your previous boss made tariffs on Canada that stopped supply lines, of course it’s Biden’s fault. She is just a bleached out, overly made up, screechy voiced Karen Snowflake.

i haven't heard a peep about baby formula since Biden started bringing it in by the planeload from Germany. Just saw a TV ad this morning during Face the Nation that listed inflation, gas prices, baby formula and how Biden is failing the nation, while the Dems are spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a witch hunt - it urged everyone to call their congressional representatives and insist the Dems shut down the illegal J6 investigation. At the end a picture of Trump overlaid by transparent swaths of red and white bunting - ad was produced by something that sounded like ‘Save America Coalition’ - something like that. The man isn’t in office and isn’t running for office (at least not officially) and yet there he is. Finally spending some of those fat donor dollars I guess.

Televised hearings tomorrow (Monday) beginning at 10 AM. Although I think this hearing is a Fait Accompli, a done deal, it will be interesting to see just what smoking gun evidence the committee will roll out about Jan 6th. I'd like to see or hear: 1. People they interviewed be at the hearing for further questions. 2. Will Nancy Pelosi be questioned? 3. Will the Capitol Police Chief be questioned? 4. If not, why??
5. Will anybody from the FBI be questioned or information introduced about what information the FBI had few a days before leading up to Jan 6th? 6. Will Trump's text or emails or anyone else about using the National Guard be entered into the record? 7. And lastly, even though this is not a trial but a hearing, I'd like to have the defense be able put on a case and introduce counter evidence.

The republicans had the opportunity to participate and they didn’t. McCarthy blew it. I have no problem with what they are doing. If McCarthy cared about the country he would have wanted to get to the bottom of this. Why does Pelosi need to be questioned. She had nothing to do with this. You clearly believe the conspiracy theories about the FBI. Do you believe that the events of 1/6 were acceptable? Do you think the ongoing attempts by trump to overthrow the election results are acceptable? Finally, is Bidrn the lawfully elected president of the US? As Cheney pointed out, only once in our history have we not had a peaceful transfer of power. Of course it was trump. He hasn’t yet conceded the election. Only president in modern history to not do so.

As you stated, this is hearing and not trial. The defense will be able to submit counter evidence if there is a criminal trial. Why Nancy Pelosi?

As to the FBI conspiracy theories, until there is evidence showing they did not have info of anti government groups planing what they did I'll reserve judgment. Only time will tell. Only if the hearings ask the FBI will this conspiracy be debunked. Doesn't hurt to ask. And is there a law saying a candidate has to concede a election?

It was a widely-shared Facebook post that was flagged by Facebook as part of its efforts to combat misinformation. Security at the Capitol is a shared responsibility among several people, one of whom reports to Pelosi. She effectively has no influence or oversight over the Capitol Police Board, and no responsibility for its actions.

But he shit over every norm this country had for a president. Republicans like to complain how things are getting worse, yet they cheer on the worst person to be president. One who shit on the constitution and normal behavior. When Al Gore contested Florida, republicans had a cow. Yet Gore accepted the decision by the Supreme Court, conceded he lost, and did not continue to claim the election was wrongly decided, even though he had a far better case. With want trump has done, republicans may never accept the results of any election. We already see it. We either believe in rules or not. Apparently you don’t care about the rules. You also neglected to comment on McCarthy refusing to participate. Again with shooting protesters. You want to live in a shithole country where that is done, you should move. Trump can provide a list for uou

And lastly, even though this is not a trial but a hearing, I'd like to have the defense be able put on a case and introduce counter evidence.
I'd like to see Mitch, Kevin, and Lindsey testify about their big turnaround attitude from the day of the election certification till now, would you? I really would like to see Trump testify. Show us the text and emails that he wanted extra security there. You know damn good and well he incited the crowd to be there and storm the capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. I personally think the Republican party should own it and quit blaming everyone else....oh wait, that is what they do now, right? Stand back and stand by!

Oops..I hit the post button by accident. Its my understanding that Pelosi and her office is responsible for security of the Capitol and it's police force. If she or her office didn't act on information about the FBI's information days before the protests and or Trumps asking if the National Guard should be brought up it would be nice to know why no action was taken.
As I have stated before, peaceful protests are fine. wave flags, sing songs etc. I believe any persons that participated in the Jan 6th physical riot and breach of the Capitol should have been shot and or be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Antifa, Proud Boys and any other militant groups there that day. Period. No exceptions. As to the FBI conspiracy theories, until there is evidence showing they did not have info of anti government groups planing what they did I'll reserve judgment. Only time will tell. Only if the hearings ask the FBI will this conspiracy be debunked. Doesn't hurt to ask. And is there a law saying a candidate has to concede a election? I’m not sure why it matters if the FBI knew in advance and did nothing. Maybe they were in the dark. Maybe they knew, and as your conspiracy theory goes, did nothing on purpose to make Trump look bad. Maybe they knew and did nothing because they were colluding with Trump to make the coup successful. The really important thing to find out is whether or not Trump or his minions had planned this assault in advance or if this was just a spontaneous show of love, as Trump claims.

I saw a comment this weekend that the reason Trump was pushing so hard to go to the capital on J6 was because the coup plotters decided the only way the insurrectionists would be inspired enough to ‘fight like hell’ and take over the capital would be having Trump right there egging them in.
Gave me cold chills thinking about the possibility that they could have succeeded. Especially thinking what they would have done to Pence and Pelosi. Horrifying

Horrifying The insurrectionists were successful in taking over the Capitol Building. Question: Do you think that if they had gotten their hands on Pence and/or Pelosi and hung them that day that Trump would still be President? I don't.

What gave me chills was the thought that the mob might have drug some people outside and hung them - and that many people would have been killed on both sides before the terrorists were subdued and the Capital cleared. Scary how much worse it could have been.
