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.
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.
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.
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.)
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."
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.)
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?
So what happened between the end of the Ellipse speech and the video telling people to go home. He sat in the dining room. Dereliction of duty. Luria is a 20 year Navy vet.
Kinzinger now. (Also a veteran.) Clip of McCarthy blaming Trump for inaction. Also Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark A. Milley says he should have done something.
What explains Trump's behavior? The mob attacking the Capitol gave Trump what he wanted: the delaying of the electoral count. Trump didn't FAIL to act. He CHOSE not to act.
@Jezibaba Appears to me he waited until it became evident the coup was not going to be successful. Once it was clear law enforcement was starting to get it under control, he made the video "We love you. You're very special."
