Fake electors told their slates would only count if courts said they should be. #HATH

Fake electors met in secret. They were told they were working directly with the president's team. #HATH

AZ, GA, MI, PA, NM, NV, WI, fake electors met and falsely claimed they were "duly elected" and submitted them to the National Archives. #HATH

Eastman said it didn't matter that they were fake; the very fact they existed created confusion, and Pence should then reject both. #HATH

Senator Johnson wanted to hand deliver false electors? (Did I hear that right?!? I might not have.) #HATH

White House counsels office said this was not legally sound. Trump and crew did it anyway.

Bowers calls it "a tragic parody."

Bowers contemporary diary: "It is painful to have friends... turn on me with such rancor." But "I do not want to be a winner by cheating. I will not play with laws I swore allegiance to." #HATH

Bowers heavy on the Christianity. (Likely to appeal to evangelicals.) #HATH

Bowers and family targeted by Trump mobs. More than 20K emails and tens of thousands of voicemails. Stopped work under the saturation. Even now, protested every week, calling Bowers a pedophile and a pervert. Blaring loudspeakers. #HATH

Threatening them and neighbors. One man threatening had a gun. His gravely ill daughter upset. "It was... disturbing. It was disturbing...." #HATH

Trump is a symptom.

Elite criminal impunity is the disease.

Accountability is the road forward.

Accountability means holding the enablers to task as well. Officials who look the other way. Rotting institutions that long ago abandoned the American people and still do so now.

Committee's back. Now Georgia.

Thompson reiterates that the investigation is still ongoing.

Raffensperger. (I've written that name 6 million times.)

Trump supporter. Says that the election was "remarkably smooth," "successful."

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Raffensperger says Biden won by about 12K votes. And the state literally recounted every ballot in the state. Biden won.

HCR

Trump asked for another count. Three counts all remarkably close to the same number. Trump lost.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Now Sterling. Tried to push back on disinformation. Asked Trump directly to stop inspiring people to violence. "It's not right."

HCR
#hearings #HATH

That press conference was because a young contractor had been receiving threats thanks to a QAnon video and Sterling saw on Twitter that someone had put that man's name with a noose and said "May God have mercy on your soul." Sterling lost it.

Trump didn't back off. Instead, he tweeted that there was "massive voter fraud in Georgia." That was false.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Next day Trump released a video claiming thousands and thousands of votes "all out of whack... all against me."

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Then Giuliani goes to Georgia and starts conspiracy theory about "suitcases of ballots" run through counting machines in the middle of the night. All false.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Giuliani calls it a "powerful smoking gun." Says those votes are illegitimate. Trump pushes the video footage even as Giuliani pushes out his testimony. All false. Sterling says they reviewed the entire video. It actually showed...

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Fulton County election workers engaging in normal ballot processing. The "suitcases" were election workers going home. They put ballots in secure boxes so they can go home, and putting them under the tables.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

They thought they were going home. Elections director said put your ass*s back in the chairs. (I paraphrase.) They take their coats off and take the ballots back out.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

All standard operating procedure. The hand tally shows the counting was virtually perfect.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Sterling kept talking to the people to try to clarify what was really going on. All in plain view. Says he's frustrated that Trump's lawyers keep mischaracterizing it. Their version is "untrue."

HCR
#hearings #HATH

"I just know in my heart they cheated." (And that's what we're up against.)

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Trump continues to say the election is stolen. Blames "Democrats workers." Insists he actually won Georgia.

The overlap of people who know Jesus "in their heart" and know the election was corrupt "in their heart" may be more extensive than I imagine.

Bjay Pak says there was nothing to the accusations. Giuliani was wrong. AG Bill Barr said they, too, looked at it, and the accusations "had no merit."

And they told Trump that.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

(Again, Trump wasn't going to let it go even if he knew it was false because it created justification for him to try to stay in power.)

Meadows texted 18 times to set up the call w/ Raffensperger. Meadows went to GA. Also set up a call with Frances Watson in which Trump pressures her to change the votes.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Trump totally sounds like a pathetic child.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Raffensperger says Trump lost because people refused to vote for him although they voted Republican down ballot.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

White House wanted to swamp the Georgia inspectors with White House stuff. Trump appears to threaten Watson's job.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Now the Raffensperger call (which R taped because Lindsey Graham had called earlier and then denied what was said. R wanted to protect himself.)

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Trump to Raffensperger call was 67 minutes. Trump again with the suitcases. Everyone had told him that the story of them was false.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Sterling says they are standard storage boxes.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

The full phone call is on the J6 website. I don't have a link atm.

Sterling says that Fulton County had monitor on site. Before he left, he noted how many ballots had been counted on each machine. He did it again later, so we have the exact numbers-- there were no 18K new ballots.
