January 6 hearings: Second public House committee hearing on Capitol attack

Показать описание
The House committee investigating last year's attack on the Capitol hopes to explain what happened minute-by-minute Jan. 6, 2021, in public hearings, but the challenge is whether the tick-tock sets off alarms or the viewing public simply hits the snooze button.

Plenty of dramatic revelations have hinted at what the committee has found. Court records described the debunked legal strategy behind former President Donald Trump’s effort to reject votes in closely contested states. Texts illustrated panic about the violence among Trump’s relatives and aides, as Republican lawmakers discussed martial law. Closed-door testimony described Trump’s inaction for hours after the Capitol was breached.

A year and a half after the attack, the question is whether the public will stay tuned. Several members of the committee acknowledged it is crucial to make the hearings interesting for a national audience.

What an extraordinary body of work by the January 6th Select Committee. They are to be congratulated as they are reigniting the light on top of the Hill.

Now they KNOW that he's been lying to them and fleecing them all along.
How they defend that knowledge is their decision.

TEN Trump-appointed judges told him "no"!!!!
Growing up, it would seem that no one told Trump "no".

This is the first time I've heard ANY explanation about what was wrong with any of the various examples of voter fraud that were shown on tv or being discussed. Did anyone else hear any explanations before this hearing?

Trump thought we were too stupid to understand the concept of "red mirage".

How can this be a “ hearing “ without a defense? A hearing all one sided is just a big ass waste of time
