January 1, 5 Noteworthy Moments from Jan 6 Hearing
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1963: U.S. President John F. Kennedy says segregation is morally wrong and it is “time to act.”
The House select committee investigating Jan. 6 has wrapped up its first televised prime-time hearing. Here are five of the most noteworthy moments from the nearly two-hour broadcast.
Liz Cheney’s remarks
Only two of the panel’s nine members spoke during the first hearing, but multiple outlets noted Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) damning remarks in particular.
“In our country, we don’t swear an oath to an individual or a political party,” Cheney said. “We take our oath to defend the United States Constitution. And that oath must mean something. Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
Capitol Police officer describes “slipping in people’s blood”
U.S. Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards described her experience defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in graphic detail.
Edwards said she was “slipping in people’s blood” during the “carnage” and “chaos” that day.
Remarks from Ivanka Trump, William Barr
The panel showed clips from the videotaped testimonies of former Attorney General William Barr and Ivanka Trump, the former president’s daughter.
Barr said there was “absolutely zero basis for the allegations” that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that Trump’s claims were “complete nonsense.”
Ivanka Trump said she accepted that her father had lost the election.
“I respect Attorney General Barr, so I accepted what he was saying,” she said, referring to Barr’s assertion about the election results.
Panel claims “substantial evidence” shows that Trump galvanized Proud Boys
Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said the committee “obtained substantial evidence showing that the president’s Dec. 19 tweet, calling his followers to D.C. on Jan. 6, energized individuals from the Proud Boys and other extremist groups.”
Harrowing new footage of the Capitol riot
The first half of the hearing ended with a nearly 10-minute compilation of video footage from Jan. 6, 2021.
“The chaos and pain of the scenes were undeniable,” The Hill reported.

I think because in her sick way she wanted it to happen so the Dems could use it for just this purpose. Let’s not forget Ray Epps inciting the crowds but miraculously never charged.

She is not in charge of the National Guard or military. The Commander-in-chief (trump) was. Ask yourself: did she know what was going while hiding in the secure location? Who did know? (again trump)

Pelosi was informed that Trump had offered the National Guard through the Capitol Police, 2 different days and she refused, along with Mayor Bowser. Why? Because this is the outcome they wanted. Open your eyes and quit believing their lies. Why would Trump offer the National Guard if he was planning a riot? He wouldn’t! Pelosi and the fbi are involved with this up to their ears. The Democrats and Cheney hate Trump because he got elected and broke the chain of their plans to rule the country and destroy it., as they are trying to do right now.

Every one of these Dems/Rinos need a really good wake-up call, or perhaps euthanized to prevent the spread of their disease.

Not euthanized, EXECUTED for the traitors they are! Pelosi, Schumer, Cheney, and especially Biden and Harris! Ever since the regime was installed in the White House, every single policy, mandate and “executive order” issued has been to destroy the Nation from within, so their handlers could just walk in and take control of the American people! Ignoring the Constitution and it’s guarantees as if it were of no consequence.
Duh!

Lies of omission…No media showed the other rally 15 blocks away at the Washington Monument, over 200,000 people sitting on the inaugural parade bleachers, that were never used, listening to speakers from nine am on the protection of ballots and elections. Ordinary americans. Trump invited himself and spoke from 12:15 to 1:15 on protecting elections. He said to go to the capitol peacefully and patriotically and let them hear your concerns. Crowds that large there will be overzealous people, none of them had a knife or gun….those that entered from the east side on video were orderly and the police let them all walk in at will. So who were on the left? any Antifa? BLM? the night before 2 pipe bombs were left near the capitol at the DNC and RNC, are they saying people from either party would blow up their own party HQ? The only person killed that day was Ashli Babbitt, who was standing near three police officers. She was unarmed and shot in the neck,. She served her country 14 years in the Air Force, unarmed was she a threat. John Sullivan Utah is shown at a broken window with ties to the FBI, look him up. The issue is protecting our elections from mass mail ins…40 million people in this country are resident aliens or visitors under visa what stops them from mailing in a ballot?? Its not about parties its about the future of America…

This bull shit has gone too far. Trump did nothing wrong but the sorry ass democrats are trying their best to pin this shit on him. If you want to do the right thing and get the guilty ones then all you have to do is put Pelosi and her ass hole buddies along with the BIG GUY and his crack head son along with the COMMIE Soros and Hillary all in prison with no chance of parole. They are the ones dreaming all this crap up and are so jealous of TRUMP. I can truthfully say one thing if Trump hadn’t of gotten elected we would never of seen just how crooked the democrats were.

Officer Edwards described being covered in blood and slipping in pools blood from her fellow officers. The video playing behind behind her did not sow any blood anywhere. But the Committee and the MSM do not want us to trust our lying eyes. The whole thing is theater, but Dems know their faithful and the MSM will stay with them.
Think about the 2016 DOJ handling of Hillary’s emails and home-brew server. Bill Clinton and AG Lynch knew their tarmac meeting would get out. AG Lynch then took the unprecedented action of stepping aside and rendering the entire DOJ useless. If the top prosecutor is compromised, the Deputy steps. Hmm. Did Deputy AG Rosenstein suddenly cease to exist?
Instead, Lynch handed off the “Hillary matter” to FBI Director Comey, which is the equivalent of a compromised city prosecutor handing off to a police chief, who does not have legal authority to prosecute.
Comey changed the wording of the law to let Hillary walk. The hand off, and his (no authority) action, created a legal cloud designed to interfere with all future legal actions, and that was the goal.

One has nothing to do with the other….
Trump has a mental disorder, called narcissism that LOOKS like egotism on steroids, but is actually a different disease. This should have been detected when he was running for office & it should have eliminated him.
He was using the presidency as a stepping stone to get what he really wanted, which was to be Dictator of the Free World. (Of course, then it wouldn’t be free). Look at the politicians around the world he admires—all dictators. He admires their Positions. He wants to be one of them. He wants to go further & be their boss.

Looks more like it’s the Biden regime that’s pushing for totalitarian control! Perhaps you have so much money that you don’t feel the pain the way the rest of us in the working class do? Bye and large, the left’s
Cranium-in-sphincter policies
have the majority of Americans
rejecting Biden and his cronies , but I guess that is a minor detail, especially since we have the Jan. 6 committee waisting our tax payer dollars with a totally partisan witch hunt!

How much money from our taxes did those varmint Democraps charge to produce this lying political theater? Since they have done nothing constructive for us Americans since they’ve been in charge, wouldn’t their time have been better spent doing something good for our country???

….probably less than it costs for us to pay for all e Secret Service officers for all the Trumps , plus theirfoof & board. Less than it costs to guard Maralago and the Trump Towe in NYC. Less than any of his parties. ETC., ETC.

And what about the cost of obama and his 14 million dollar shack. The president gets $400,000.00 a year X 8 = $3,200,000. For Obama. Trump gave his four year salary away ever year of his presidency.
Do your home work!

Everything costs something. I do not begrudge anyone, not even my opponents, the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Every president has security details that cost money, it’s part of the package! The question is are we getting a good return on our collective investment in this current administration?, and the answer is a resounding NO

Do you not realize that every president, and their family, receives Secret Service protection for life? Your statement is moot. We, as taxpayers, are paying for the protection of Carter and his family, George W and his family, Trump and his family and, while he is in office, Biden and his family, even those that are breaking the law! Why are you not complaining about guarding all the others???? The simple answer is because you have terminal TDS!

When I heard there was a filmmaker embedded in the protest to film a documentary on the protest, my first question was how did they even know in time to hire him for that protest. The most ironic part of the first hearing was the demorats emphasis on Mark Meadows saying there “was no there there” regarding election fraud. The irony is that there is “no there there” of a seditious insurrection or orders by Trump to storm the Capitol.

January 6th hearing, total kangaroo court. Two Republicans appointed by Pelosi nothing more than democrat stooges. Total bullshit. Pelosi was the cause of this fiasco. Trump offered National Guard, Pelosi rejected it.
Totally disgusted
June 11, 2022 at 10:23 am
Disrespectful and unbelievable. There was no reason for them to breakthrough the police lines nor to enter the building without consent. Where has reason gone ? Mob violence was not necessary nor productive. Who bears the burden of the cost to repair the damages, injuries to police, cost of all the investigations and the time now for the hearings ??? WE the American Taxpayer !!
I for one resent that WE the Taxpayer must bear the cost of this stupidity. What has happened to obeying the laws, necessary restrictions and the orders of Police ??? My parents raised us differently than that mob acted. There doesn’t seem as if there was any reason for overthrow of the Government. What must God think when He looks down on what and whom he created ??? How could this have happened in this Country ?? I sincerely doubt this can be condoned as “free speech” !!

In my opinion, the whole thing was set up by Pelosi and the Democrats! First, they refused the extra police help; then they infiltrated the crowd with their instigators; didn’t know they had a cameraman ready to shoot scenes of their liking; and last, they kill an unarmed protestor and he gets NO investigation or punishment!!! And all this is Trump’s fault? They should ALL be IMPEACHED ASAP!!!
Sick and Tierd of listening to empty headed MORONS
June 11, 2022 at 12:43 pm
HELLOOOO EVERYBODY!!!!!! for the last time (HOPEFULLY) THE FAT BLONDE HEADED TRAITOR lost the election, and the only STEALING that went on is when he tried to steal it back with his futile attempt to have that MOB hang Pence. So BROWN, you should know a lot about shit, you have a large pile of it where your brain should be. Bdi, you should change that to BEADY than it would match the size of your brain. Mulqueen, you should change yours to DULL QUEEN because the same old shit that keeps coming out of that hole in your face is really not interesting anymore. DUH, you should keep that as your name, and your statement, should just have been DUH, DUH DUH, DUH DUH DUH because that’s how much sense it made, DUH!!! Here come AL with his brilliant comment, there was no blood, what was all over that officer who got the shit beat out of him by the entrance to the capitol, and that rioter with that red stuff running down his face, Ketchup? maybe you should drop ALLEN and use DUH also. PURPLE OLIVE, sounds like it’s rotten, you know like that thing between your ears that’s supposed to be a brain. JOHN, JOHN, JOHN only some dumb f—ing republican would come up with a statement like that. Finally ROGER (DUH) you 2 come from the same mother, at what time during the RIOT not FIASCO did FAT BOY TRUMP (and what’s he doing offering) the national guard to Pelosi when he should have just ORDERED them to the capitol, (DUH) he didn’t want them there it would have spoiled his party, you see, your the perfect example of a PEA BRAIN, you just run your big mouth before you think.

Just remember the true and infamous words of a relatively famous (but useless) dumocrat politician (Rom E.) who went on to screw up the city of Chicago too – Never let a crisis go to waste – and this is what Pelousy preaches.
