January 6th Primetime Hearings

Given Trump's vanity, how long will THIS argument last? Trump defenders state he's too fat to lurch forward and grab the wheel...

Obama's (and Reagan's) official White House photographer doesn't think that video clip is the one that Trump was in.

I want to shake people who believe this like I'm a British nanny. He literally told the crowd that he was going to go with them to the Capitol.

The only ways to avoid the perjury trap are to 1) tell the truth, come clean, spill your guts...etc... or 2) plead the fifth. Considering that telling the truth might well open him up to sedition and/or conspiracy charges (that's always the big one for federal prosecutors) and lying would be bad for the obvious reason that it's a crime to do that and that it's very likely that the committee already has solid evidence above and beyond the report shown above.

Those aren't the only ways, as certain now-Justices and Marjorie Taylor Greene can attest. One can give evasive answers, true-but-nonresponsive answers. or false-but-unprovable-as-such answers ("I don't know/recall/remember," for example.)

He literally tweeted that Trump should declare martial law and suspend the election.

He should be recalled to Active Duty and UCMJ Action taken.

Would a recall have to judge whether he was fit for service?

Because if the US military accepts folk that mentally defective then they'd have t....

Carry on.

With no cross examination.

Bullshit. The right wing enablers like Jim Jordan would be throwing shit, accusing witnesses of lying with no proof, screaming irrelevancies and playing "gotcha" if somebody misremembered the time of day. That is NOT cross-examination. Of course, the greatest example of how cross-examination can backfire is from the Watergate hearings when Senator Howard Baer made the classic mistake of asking a question when he didn't know the answer. Baker, thinking he was defending Nixon asked "What did the President know and when did he know it?" The answer sunk Nixon's presidency and the rest is history. What sort of idiotic questions do you think should be asked in your fantasy world version of "croos examination" of Cassidy Hutchinson?

Doesn’t matter, there’s absolutely no cross examination and only two Republicans on the committee, hardly seems fair to me.

Someone call Bat Masterson because it’s Dodge City up in here.

Actually I gave your response more consideration than it deserved.

And the point very much stands.

Who's fault is that?

There's only two Republic members on the committee that only two Republicans were willing to be on, and who were punished by their party for doing so?

Clearly the Democrats fault.

No doubt about it: the Republicans are the victims...

Yes it is because Pelosi didn't want any other Republicans on the committee.

Yet she only objected to Jim Banks and Jim Jordan out of the five additional Republicans that McCarthy wanted to put on it, and said she wanted the remaining three to participate.

So again, hardly seems fair. It should be 50/50 with one extra person from the majority.

Given that Jordan has been implicated in the insurrection, putting him on the committee would be akin to putting Bill on a committee investigating Hillary. That sound like a good idea to you?

Have you paid attention....at all...to how the committee was formed?
