Kinzinger: Almost everybody wanted President Trump to instruct the mob to disperse. President Trump refused.
Kinzinger: The president [Trump] resisted writing, 'stay peaceful', in a tweet.
Committee playing video with violent commentary by unnamed individuals, likely plants/instigators.
More hearsay, presented by Representative Beutler, about a phone call between McCarthy and President Trump.
Interesting that virtually no crowd control measures were used by the Capitol Police. They almost certainly have possession of things like sonic weapons that could have taken the crowd to their knees with no injuries.
And Pritzker, Brown, Newsom, Bowser.
Matthews: I thought that January 6th, 2021, was one of the darkest days in our nation's history, and President Trump was treating it as a celebratory occasion with that tweet.
['one of the darkest days' is an often repeated phrase by many of these people, media]
Mitch McConnell [video from 2/13/21]: There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically, and morally, responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.
Cipollone [video deposition] said he considered resigning over January 6th, but decided not to because he was concerned who would replace him.
"I had some concerns that it might be somebody that had been giving bad advice."
[the 'bad advice' would include that the election was stolen]
Pottinger made sure to refer to the Russian Federation as, 'the Putin regime'.
Luria: We know these threats [impeachment; 25th Amendment over January 6th] were real, Sean Hannity said so himself.
kek
Pottinger is either an idiot, or a spook. He doesn't really seem like an idiot.
Everyone involved with the 'Budding Roses' are going to find themselves in federal prison.
Luria: President Trump has never publicly acknowledged his responsibility for the attack. The only time he apparently did so was in a private call [hearsay] with Kevin McCarthy..
[President Trump is in no way responsible]
Villain Phoenix, the person that was the source of that video, was found dead in a motel earlier this year. He had been in possession of large amounts of unseen footage from January 6th, and told his viewers that he was being followed around, I believe he said by FBI.
Luria: Donald Trump summoned a violent mob, and promised to lead that mob to the Capital, to compel those he thought would cave to that type of pressure. And when he was thwarted in his effort to lead the armed uprising, he instigated the attacked to target the vice president with violence.
[good grief…Luria needs to be in a military prison indefinitely]
Not sure…I only watched him on his youtube channel. I think it was called 'The Villain Report'.
Cheney gave a shout-out to Ruby Freeman. kek
Cheney: Do you really think that Bill Barr is such a delicate flower that he would wilt under cross-examination?
Cheney: [President Trump] purposely created the false impression that America is threatened by a foreign force controlling voting machines. Or that a wave of tens of millions of false ballots were secretly injected into our election system. Or that ballot workers have secret thumb drives, and are stealing elections with them. All complete nonsense.
[in fact, every example she cited is true and actually happened]
Cheney just revealed the goal of the committee: that Donald Trump can never have a position of authority again.
[they will fail miserably, and all of them will face justice]
