To me this first hearing did a good job of showing Trump was definitely informed by his official advisers that the election was won fairly by Joe Biden. Pretty much everyone from his top campaign lawyer, attorney general, White House counsel and all of the state people made it as clear as possible but he continued to press unfounded lies. Many people on this forum were manipulated by the Trump lies about election fraud seeking audits etc. There’s no question the mob that attacked the Capitol came from a rally organized under the false premise of this lie and Trump himself motivated the mob. To me, that’s what was probably the most important information shared. The Pence situation is interesting. This is definitely something I will be looking for more details on. Also, that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers had an organized plan to break into the Capitol with violent and coordinated attack strategies is something that needs to be flushed out more. And they strategized to get the lead the mob shows even higher levels of organization and planning.
You're a loon. First, she's actually attractive. You sure you know which sex you're opposite of? And second, "visceral hate?" Were you asleep when your brethren stormed the Capitol and tried to destroy democracy? Do go on and tell me more about this hate of which you speak. And then maybe listen again to Caroline Edwards's first-hand account of what hate actually looks and feels like. Moron.
And membership apparently increased substantially after Trump told them to stand by during the presidential debate. Trump is behind the whole thing. He set in in motion, and then encouraged it to froth. So if Proud Boy #1 Enrique Tarrio was charged with sedition, I wonder what awaits Trump.
A 'sophisticated' 7-part plan. 'Slipping in people's blood': Takeaways from prime-time Jan. 6 hearing https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ng-trump-capitol-attack/7558787001/?gnt-cfr=1
Only interesting part was all the video and hearing Barr and Ivanka say trump lost the election which 99% of Americans already know.
Interesting how deeply Liz Cheney stepped in it by going on at length that there was clear intelligence- days and weeks in advance- about how the capitol riot plans were in the making. And yet, Pelosi and Bowser would not call up the national guard as Trump had authorized, and the capitol police responded like a bunch of disorganized, panicky, museum guards, with no meaningful plan or command and control structure. Yep. No need to ask again why the Committee refused to allow Republicans on the committee who would ask uncomfortable questions. Clown show. Made-for-TV committee hearing designed to get the voters to look away from the bloodbath coming for dems. But there are 8.6 reasons why that is not going to happen.
