January 6th Hearings

Likely other things, but I've not been watching the hearings closely.

I hope they make Trumpet and the violent insurrections an offer they cant refuse.

What new evidence popped up?

• That Donald Trump ordered, planned, and led the first ever coup attempt against the US Govt on Jan 6th, 2020 by first discrediting and then violently disrupting the peaceful transfer of power with malice aforethought and reckless intent.
  
• That Trump knew for certain that he lost the election  within 72 hours of the election and was made to understand that falsifying  election claims was a felony.
  
• Trump's family, inner circle, advisors, White House staff and cabinet all advised Trump that the election was over.
  
• Attorney General Barr investigated every claim made by Trump and advised Trump that they were all "bullshit."
  
• That many coup plotters sought pre-emptive pardons for Jan 6th immediately following the coup's collapse.  Pardons require acknowledgement of guilt and  Mark Meadows' emails confirm at least Meadows, Giuliani, Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Scott Perry and John Eastman were prepared to swear under oath they had committed felonies on Jan 6th.
  
• That, in spite of repeated official claims to the contrary, Trump never ordered the National Guard in or, indeed, made any inquiries of any kind regarding the Nation's security while the Capitol was under attack.
  
• Vice President Mike Pence illegally in ordered the National Guard and Secretary of Defense Miller complied knowing that Pence had no authority but understanding the imperative of defending the Nation.
  
• Trump later illegally requested the Pentagon to report that he gave the order in contradiction to the truth.
  
• That Trump raised more than $250 million for an "election defense fund" that Trump never bothered to create.
  
• That's more than he raised for the election.
  
• And unlike election campaign money, few rules govern how Trump may spend that money.
  
• NONE of that $250 million was spent investigating campaign fraud (more evidence that Trump knew it was a waste of time).
  
• Congresswoman Lofgren claims they have evidence that  at least some of this money was just transferred to Trump family accounts.
  

• That testimony shows that Eastman and Giuliani, at least, were aware of the false and illegal nature of election claims in private insider conversations while maintaining those false and illegal claims in every public venue.
  
• That the Dept of Justice reports that confidential informants have sworn under oath that the Proud Boys' instructions were to assassinate Pence and/or Pelosi.
  
• That J. Michael Luttig, arch-conservative judge and Scalia acolyte testified that Trump directly ordered Pence to violate his oath of office and warned that Republicans already have a plan for a second  coup attempt in 2024.
  
• That Arizona Republican House Speaker Rusty Bowers testified that Trump, Giuliani, Eastman, Andy Biggs and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas illegally pressured Bowers to falsify election results.
  
• Giuliani confessed to Bowers that he had no evidence of election fraud.
  
• Trump illegally issued a statement stating that Bowers confirmed election fraud when Bowers had directly reported the opposite to Trump.
  
• That Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson tried to personally deliver instruction to Pence on how to falsify election results minutes before the certification began but Pence's staff refused.
  
• Johnson acknowledges possession of those instructions but now claims that he does not know what they contained or who they came from (in spite of asking to hand deliver those papers to Pence).  If you were handing a package to the VP of the US wouldn't you want to know what was in it or who it came from?
  
• That Trump illegally pressured AGs Rosen and Donoghue to falsify election results and  appoint Special Counsel investigations into Election Fraud and Hunter Biden.
  
• After a week of daily refusals, Trump ordered his AG to "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen."  Rosen refused.
  
• Trump then tried to fire Rosen and appoint Jeffrey Clarke acting AG.  Trump relented after Rosen advised that the entire top tier of the Justice Department was prepared to resign rather than allow such corruption.
  
• That testimony under oath suggests that Trump inquired why the crowd at his rally was so small and was advised that large portions of the crowd could not pass through security because they were armed with knives, pistols, rifles, body armor, bear spray, and spears.  Trump allegedly requested that security measures be halted because "they're not here to hurt me."
  
• Trump did plan to lead the armed militia into the Capitol but was prevented by the Secret Service.
  
• That further testimony suggests that when the crowd started chanting "Hang Mike Pence," White House lawyers demanded that Meadows act to forestall violence.  Meadows confirmed that Trump had no problem with the crowd and that Trump felt strongly that  the Vice President, "deserves it."  That is, the VP deserved to die for keeping his oath to the American People.
  

Lol, a great Hearsay summary of all the hearsay testimony.

by noting who is willing to testify under oath and who refuses.

the actual policies impacting all of our lives.

It sure as fuck aint Jan 6

Imagine thinking a trial where there is ZERO cross examination, there are ZERO people defending Donald Trump, and there are ZERO people wanting to investigate Nancy Pelosi’s role in J6 is at all “fair.”

Imagine being so brazenly, rankly partisan that one can no longer tell the difference between a criminal trial and a congressional hearing.

Imagine being so unconcerned with reality that one fails to realize everyone testifying against Trump is doing so under oath, while everyone defending him is doing so on Fox News or as anonymous sources.

Imagine being so wildly blind that one ignores the fact that nearly every witness testifying against Trump voted for him, worked in his administration, or both, all while pretending Trump is being attacked "by the left".

If politicians are no longer accountable to the voters then discussion about gas prices no longer matters.

 If politicians are no longer accountable to the voters then discussion about gas prices no longer matters.

If this were the case, Liz Cheney wouldn’t be on the committee. Good thing the voters are gonna kick her out now. Cause guess what? People in Wyoming don’t believe her bs partisan attacks.

Why you gotta be first!

I wonder what Trump supporters have planned for Labor Day

Pelosi will be held accountable for not defending Democracy with the National Guard in 4 months.

You are not a serious person to talk to.

Of course not, because they get their news from the same people literally texting the game plan back and forth with the Trump administration.

4 more months, and we can have someone responsible and accountable for making sure the capitol has adequate protections.
