Yesterday, the Oversight 1/6 Committee had hearings last night.
After a year of investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, the House Select Committee will hold public hearings to shine a light on the attempt to subvert U.S. democracy and to draw the line of responsibility directly to the White House https://t.co/HK6URrGHVB pic.twitter.com/VSfCLfWv4n

Powerful testimony.

Jesus lord…Cheney says testimony of Trump’s own staff will show that when they told him attackers were chanting to hang Mike Pence, he said, “Maybe they have the right idea. He deserves it.” #January6thCommitteeHearings #BlackTwitter

I'm not impressed, but I do appreciate the fact that she seems to have found moral certitude here.
I'm keeping my eye on her, though.

Liz Cheney is simply out for blood here, pure-bred political lizard brain on display. It's a wonder.#Jan6thCommitteeHearings

Act 1: NYT rehab on Jared, “oh, he was so concerned about Jan 6, sources close to him say.” As mentioned here. https://t.co/0js7COCTUa
Act 2: Video tonight from Jan 6 committee, Jared saying on camera that WH counsel complaints about Trump were “just whining."

1:48 minutes in and one thing is abundantly clear to me and I say this with no exaggeration or hyperbole. @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy is a singular and epic disgrace. He is a coward and cynic without peer. There are no words

: "Multiple Republican congressmen contacted the White House seeking presidential pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election."

“Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day, and made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets," Rep. Liz Cheney said of Jan. 6, 2021. "“But Mike Pence did each of those things.” https://t.co/JXIN6cJmX7

As I've said before, Trump set up Mike Pence to be killed by the mob. The committee has proven that. #January6thCommitteeHearings

Let’s be clear: January 6th was a test run.
We must all pay attention to @January6thCmte’s findings to ensure the next attempt to thwart our democracy does not succeed.

Uh, that's because it was pre planned.

Testimony from Ivanka indicates that even she believed Barr when he said there wasn’t fraud sufficient to overturn the election pic.twitter.com/YzrQYIjHjL

I really don't think his enemies and opponents understand just how good a Lawyer @RepAdamSchiff is.

Chairman Thompson: "We have obtained substantial evidence showing that the President's December 19th tweet, calling his followers to D.C. on January 6th, energized individuals from the Proud Boys and other extremist groups."

Tucker is talking over everything. Fox viewers probably didn't even notice when the committee showed Ivanka's testimony. Her image on Fox was about 1/26th the size it was on the other channels, and there was no audio of her. https://t.co/jIw1MfRewc

Like I said I will acknowledge Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger meeting this moment & will keep it moving. They still roll & vote with the GOP & they remain a threat to our rights. That’s a fact.

I just wanna know which members of The Insurrectionist Party tried to get pardons for January 6th. I bet they have some spectacular takes on tonight's proceedings.

Literally bragging about the size of his crowds.
The part to ponder is that he remains a hero to a significant percentage of Americans.

I’m just trying to imagine the response if these were Black people. I mean, they (law enforcement) didn’t even put their hands on their weapons. Did not touch it. #January6thCommitteeHearings

If a fucking CHENEY turns out to be the hero of this thing, I'm going to be seriously pissed.
