Das #January6thHearing soll mindestens Geschichte schreiben. Beim heutigen "Finale" soll vor den #MidTerms einmal mehr ein #Trump angelasteter Plan entlarvt werden. Dazu gehören Einflussnahme und Druck auf Pence, das Justizministerium und Wahlleiter, sowie das Aufhetzen des Mobs. 
Liz Cheney sagt, es sei viel passiert, seit man mit dem U-Ausschuss begonnen habe. Das stimmt auch für sie, die von ihrer Partei gestürzt wurde. Sie kann nicht mehr für den Kongress antreten. Sollte Trump wieder antreten, will sie die GOP verlassen. #January6thCommitteeHearings
Cheney betont, dass ausgerechnet der Mann, der am besten darüber Bescheid wusste, dass es keinen massenhaften Wahlbetrug gab, bis heute behauptet, die Wahl 2020 sei gestohlen worden: Donald Trump #January6thCommitteeHearings

Chairman Bennie Thompson says today's #January6thCommittee hearing will also be a business meeting and will present a fair amount of evidence that has already been heard.
Looks like a significant development.
Justice Dept January 6th investigation reaches into White House witnesses.
Former VP Pence chief of staff Marc Short highest official known to appear before grand jury.
His appearance doesn’t fit neatly with prior known scope of probe.

2. From what we know and all Marc Short’s testimony publicly disclosed by January 6 committee, he has the most evidence to give if DOJ wants to pursue this line of inquiry.👇

OMG BREAKING: there was a LOUD GUFFAW here in the room as they showed video of @HawleyMO running away, and another when they played it in slow motion. Loudest reaction of any moment during the three hearings I’ve attended #January6thCommitteeHearing
Here it is from inside the room.
What good is "we were tough on China!" policy when Pottinger watched Trump actively erode American democracy?! What good is humble bragging about your own China hawkishness when you sat by and watched our president use the same authoritarian playbook you claim to fight against?!
Genuinely I do not understand the cognitive dissonance with experts in our circles who celebrate Trump's China/Taiwan foreign policy for making America safer from autocrats while at the same time ignoring how Trump himself used authoritarian means to make the US less democratic.
Pottinger:"Our national security was harmed by Jan 6th..it emboldened our enemies giving them ammunition to feed a narrative that our system of government doesn’t work...I heard from our allies that they were concerned about the health of our democracy"#January6thCommitteeHearing
The proceedings are being chaired by a Republican
The witnesses have been Republicans
Most worked for Republican president Trump
The insurrection was planned & carried out by Republicans
And the dereliction of duty for 187 minutes was that of a Republican

Trump knew the coup was happening
He did nothing to stop it
On the contrary-he incited the insurrectionists even more

Instead of calling the Capitol Police, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security or even the FBI
Donald Trump called Senators-trying to convince them to delay certification of the election
While insurrectionists chanted Hang Mike Pence

Former Twitter employee: “I was concerned the former president, for the first time, was speaking directly to extremist organizations and giving them directives.” #January6thCommitteeHearings
"If President Trump were any other user on Twitter, he would have been permanently suspended a very long time ago." #January6thCommitteeHearings
Former Twitter employee, knowing that extremists were ready to take up arms: "Trump posting this tweet on Dec 19th was essentially staking a flag in D.C. on Jan 6 for his supporters to come and rally." #January6thCommitteeHearing

Chairman Bennie Thompson: “We settle our differences at the ballot box. When you’re on the losing side, you don’t have to be happy about it. You can protest. You can organize. You can try to make sure you have a better result next time. But you cannot turn violent.”
Thompson states that Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election, and yet, he refused to acknowledge that or concede defeat. Instead, “He seized on the anger of his supporters, and when they approached the line, he didn't wave them off, he urged them on.”

Chairman Bennie Thompson is recapping what the committee laid out during the 1st hearing last week. Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. The bedrock of democracy is the votes of the people; Trump didn’t have the votes; he lost in court; then lied to remain in office.
Liz Cheney is now describing how Trump lost in court. She says she will show that Trump lost the election; knew he had lost; & that there was no evidence to support his claims of fraud. She says Trump’s closest campaign advisors urged him not to declare victory on election night.
The #January6thCommitteeHearings started on 6/9/22 evening with witness testimony & video footage surrounding the riot on the Capitol on #J6. The televised hearing is the 1st in a series that is expected to last through July.
I will ask the questions not being asked & quote many.

In all of the video shown on Prime TV by the #January6thCommitteeHearings, I didn't see a single frame w/ Ray Epps as he is seen in multiple videos on Jan 5 & #J6.
Why was Ray Epps encouraging people to go "into" the Capitol building?
Did the FBI hire Ray Epps?
Who is #RayEpps?

Does the FBI now, or has it ever, maintained a formal or informal relationship or point of contact w/ Ray Epps, whether directly or indirectly, including through intermediaries?
