                                                      I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard Bill Barr’s voice in audio format yet before now

                                                “more than half a dozen former White House staff” …doesn’t actually sound like that much.

                                              the fact that they’re defining “seditious conspiracy” makes it sound like we’re actually going to be getting some charges out of this (hopefully)

                            ok Cheney doing a bit of expectations management here for those of us disappointed by how little we’ll be getting from these hearings; apparently things are ongoing…

                          oh no we’re going to have to listen to Bannon’s podcast…

                      not really a fan of this mythologizing/sanctifying of our history, but I get why it’s necessary here…

                  seeing right-wing chuds co-opting the “Whose streets? Our streets!” chant is sickening; they were all bused in from out of town

                This video is a great reminder of how Trump’s speech beforehand literally called for what the rioters tried to do

              Someone remind me what the status of Dominic Pezzola is?

                      wait so why did we swear in those live witnesses if we’re just doing another video instead?
                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                        Ah apparently the reason Mr. Quested is under subpoena is because he was embedded with the Proud Boys
                        1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                          Mr. Quested provided the video of Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes meeting
                          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                            Mr. Quested puts the number of Proud Boys marching towards the Capitol at first at “a couple hundred”

                                  Joseph Biggs was leading the group that assaulted Officer Edwards

                                    A group that shouts “F-U-C-K Antifa” doesn’t sound much like a group that’s actually Antifa themselves to me
                                    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                      I wonder if they were actually spelling it out in their chant or if that’s just the Officer sanitizing it for TV

                                                  They thought that Trump was actually going to march with them to the Capitol! LOL, he just hid in the White House instead like a coward… willing to sic his supporters on Congress, but not willing to face them himself.
