JUST IN: the

will hold MORE public hearings in September.

HCR

Focus on the 187 minutes. Trump ignored pleas to stop the attack on the Capitol. He was "the only person in the world" who could have stopped the rioters.

HCR

Representatives Adam Kinzinger and Elaine Luria running things tonight. More hearings in September.

HCR

No doubt that there was a concerted effort to overturn the election, run by Trump. Made targets out of Pence and members of Congress. There must be accountability to the law and the American people, at all levels of government.

HCR

Must have consequences or terrible risk to our democracy.

HCR

Liz Cheney (R-WY) is up. Says nice things about Thompson.

😊

HCR

Trump had 7 point plan to overturn the election. Now there is more information than ever, and "the dam has begun to break." There is "considerably more to do." Committee will have more hearings in September.

HCR

Way more info now than when Trump was impeached and tried. 57 of 100 senators voted to convict him. Clip of McConnell blaming Trump (AFTER he had voted to acquit him. I'm not a fan.)

HCR

We know the many ways in which Trump tried to steal the election. Nothing worked. On afternoon of January 6, he relied on the "angry armed mob Trump sent to the Capitol."

HCR

Even those who had helped cause the crisis were scared. Hmmm....

HCR

Trump refused to call off the rioters. In immediate aftermath, no one defended Trump. No one should now, either.

HCR

Luria is up. She shows the presidential oath of office. President is supposed to execute the laws faithfully. (Really nice framing of why all this matters.)

HCR

Trump instructed supporters, whom he knew were armed, to march to the Capitol. He promised to go with them.

HCR

Pence was already in the Capitol and the building had been breached. But rather than stopping the violence, Trump refused to tell the mob to leave.

HCR

Why the hell is he in the Rose Garden when he made that video? That's really important. Why did the Secret Service permit that? I mean, unless they knew something?

@Jezibaba Explain. I'm not following, why is the rose garden significant? I'm with you but need to understand it.

@Jezibaba No rush, you can even DM it to me. If you want. I just want to be informed more.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @ThrasherPrime @Jezibaba

I'm not watching, but because if Trump were not in control of the rioting, if the rioters were false flag Antifa people, then the Secret Service would have gotten Trump to a secure location, not let him wander around outside.
