The Official January 6 Committee hearing(s) thread

"we were just encouraging them to tell the truth"

I doubt there will be any criminal upshot for attempting to interfere with a congressional investigation, but it doing so does add to the perception of corruption and criminality around the former president. A lot of today's testimony tends to establish state of mind and intent. Even if no criminal charges are brought, the image of Trump scheming until the last to cling to power and siccing a violent mob on the US Capitol to derail certification will be hard to dispel.

Details like Trump's lunch tantrum or trying to choke Engle, dramatic as they are, aren't so significant as the cabinet level discussions of invoking the 25th.

disagree with this specifically

witness tampering is a serious charge and the committee’s hearings are hearings under oath under penalty of perjury

the DOJ has no choice here as the committee stated specifically that they had names and proof of these comms but decided to to include at the hearing- but they have the info which the DOJ can investigate and charge accordingly

I am shocked that the secret service dude didnt defend himself better…

any self-respecting law officer would have ed up the traitor

Another item;

mccarthy calling hutchinson and telling her and staff NOT to come to the capitol as they “had previously agreed”

and then snapping at her to not allow it to happen


as everyone suspected - mccarthy - the piece of - knew All about the impending attack also

DOJ needs to get on the ball-wake the up merrick!

I get that Mike Flynn saying what he really believes -- that the election was stolen and spoiling to keep Trump in power by any means necessary was therefore the honorable thing to do -- would be foolish. But it's hard to see where there would be any legal hazard for Flynn to lie about his beliefs, and just say he believes in the peaceful transfer of power.

Weird, I don't see "Fraudulent Mail-in Ballots" or "Pizza Themed Underground Pedophile Rings" on that list at all.

[Winehole23]

Reportedly, the Secret Service refers to "the Beast" as "the limo" and the the SUV as "the spare." Is the gripe here that the witness is unreliable because she got the two confused?

Was he riding shotgun?

Was he riding shotgun?

Dunno, what's your conspiracy theory?

[Winehole23]

(Darrin suddenly very interested in the minutiae of J6 testimony)

[ElNono]

Dunno, what's your conspiracy theory?

Yeah, kinda weird, since IIRC, she testified he lunged forward... what does riding shotgun has to do with it?
