House Passes 1/6 Commission

[fskimospy]

Who??

How many more Ls are they going to take this week? Morale is dropping fast...

You have zero idea as to the contents of the testimony but have already decided it is some sort of failure that has demoralized you. Lol. See what I mean when I say you’re acting insane?

How many additional centuries of Republican rule has this hearing caused? Gotta add on at least a few hundred years, right?

Apparently you aren't aware that otherwise unknown WH aides have been providing tons of information to the J6 committee to fill in the blanks created by those who have refused to testify or ignored subpoenas. These are people who were actually "in the room" and have first hand knowledge of what actually happened.

Here I thought (hoped) that it would be Mike Pence as the secret witness. That would explain the sudden rush to get the committee assembled for an unscheduled hearing. But Cassidy Hutchinson? The committee has already aired video of Cassidy Hutchinson testifying. I can't imagine what more she will add that we haven't already heard or that we haven't already assumed. Mark Meadows is a looney? So what? We already knew THAT.

I'm crossing my fingers that while Cassidy Hutchinson may have something to say or add, I'm crossing my fingers that it will be Mike Pence who emerges this morning from the shadows to testify. Now THAT would be worth all the secrecy and hype. Also, it wouldn't hurt his bid for the presidency should Mike decide to run. What Pence could say today just might clear Donald Trump out of the way giving Pence a shot at the job.

But probably not. Pence let Donald Trump down and Pence will let the committee down as well. That's about all Mike Pence was ever good for, letting people down.

Seems Hutchinson was attached to Meadows’ hip.

She's precisely in the position to add a lot and who knows may even have recordings or have contemporaneous notes.

Former administration insiders on CNN, they said they generally went to her if they needed details. So yeah she knows where the skeletons are hiding.

She supposedly witnessed Meadows and Trump cheering on the riot.

I have a feeling she will drop something absolutely damning during today's hearing. That is, something that would be considered so during "normal" times. I think it'll be dismissed outright by the Tucker/Hannity driven echo chamber however, and roughly 1/3 of the population will follow.

So again we'll be left waiting for someone to enforce the "find out" portion of the "fuck around".

rut-roh!

CNN details what she has already said.

Here's what former Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson has already told the Jan. 6 committee

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol is holding its sixth public hearing of the month. Watch live and follow the latest news updates here.

www.cnn.com

- Meadows and Giuliani were involved in the "fake elector" scheme
- Trump wanted Clark to run the DoJ
- named several GOP Congress people who asked for pardons
- Trump agreed with protestors wanting to hang Pence
- Trump was angry that Pence was being protected from the mob!

I assume there will be more from her today.

Those last two are extremely important here as they go directly to the issue of intent which is the most difficult bar for Garland to clear in any prosecution. She may ultimately be a star witness in a criminal proceeding.

 

[woolfe9998]

Eastman wants his phone back.

He's going to claim attorney-client privilege. I think Garland believes he can get around it with this.

 

[eelw]

Quite chilling that SS radio chatter. Wonder why these fully armed people didn’t make it to the capitol?

 

[HomerJS]

She's already dispelled the right wing talking point about no guns. AR-15s were seized from people trying to get into the Trump speech area. There were thousands who refused to go through the detectors

She also testified Trump knew his minions had weapons and wanted the detectors removed to fill up the space.

 

[Pens1566]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!



Well, there's your bombshell ...

 

[K1052]

This is work to establish intent.

 

[Pens1566]

"They're not here to hurt me"

Just fucking unreal.

 

[hal2kilo]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!



Well, there's your bombshell ...

Yea, the, "they aren't here to hurt me, get rid of the fucking mags"!!

 

[Homerboy]

Yea, the, "they aren't here to hurt me, get rid of the fucking mags"!!

"then they can march down to the Capital"

 

[HomerJS]

"then they can march down to the Capital"

knowing they were armed

 

[HomerJS]

Fox is covering this live. They probably thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Fucker, Ingraham and Hannity will have a hard time tonight spinning out of this one if they even talk about it.

 

[Pens1566]

And I think this is now going to get much worse for some in the previous administration ...

 

[emperus]

She is burying them. This is worse than I expected. They had an understanding of the potential of the actions even the potential laws they would be breaking.

 

[gothuevos]

Wait, so simple metal detectors were enough to deter them? Or were there SS/police at the detectors too?

So far she’s the John Dean of Watergate.

Their weapons would have to be confiscated if they wanted to enter
