January 6, 2021 Storming of the US Capitol

Towards the end of today's hearing, they showed a text from Brad Parscale (Trump's former campaign manager) blaming Trump's rhetoric for the death of Ashli Babbitt.

Also, Liz Cheney revealed that Trump tried to call a witness set to appear before the House Jan. 6 Committee and that the committee referred it to DOJ. Her words:

“After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation -- a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings. That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump's call and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us. And this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice. Let me say one more time: we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously."

"Former president Donald Trump recently attempted to contact an unnamed witness in the House select committee investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — an effort that the panel has since referred to the Justice Department, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), vice chairwoman of the panel, said Tuesday.

“Let me say one more time: We will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously,” Cheney said.

The revelation came toward the end of a hearing in which the committee zeroed in on the violent rhetoric and planning that flowed from a tweet by Trump weeks before Jan. 6 promising a “wild” protest. Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.), one of the panel members leading Tuesday’s hearing, said what transpired was “openly homicidal.”

The dead-of-night tweet by Trump on Dec. 19, 2020, followed what was described as an “unhinged” meeting in which White House lawyers and Trump allies advocating baseless claims about the election shouted at one another for hours." WP

This reminds me a bit of the revelation of the Blasey Ford story. It will be fun to watch where this leads.

Bigger question is do we as a country have the will to convict an ex-president?

[Chicks]

Amusing how the MAGAMorons here stay in stealth mode until more evidence against Donny’s insurrection comes out, then spew their vile nonsense for a day or two. Such fools.

When watching the new HBO series Anarchists began thinking this could be the MAGA morons when they gain power.

Chaos isn't what is allowed when the authoritarians take over. Remember the Night of the Long Knives.
