OK I’ve got my #January6thCommitteeHearings stream open: youtube.com/watch?v=hZ0yNe3cFx4 Guess I’ll livetweet it along with everyone else…
-
…so… it’s supposed to be starting now, right? @January6thCmte are you actually going yet or not?
-
ok stream is working now after I installed my latest Firefox update; seems like we’re still at the start of @BennieGThompson’s opening speech
-
I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard Bill Barr’s voice in audio format yet before now
-
ok sounds like Cheney is up next
-
Cheney citing Trump tweets
-
“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)
-
video of @JasonMillerinDC being shown now
-
Hm I don’t think “Alex Cannon” is a name I’d heard previously
-
back to the Barr video
-
Ivanka agrees with Barr apparently
-
Getting into the “fake electors” part now
-
I’ll have to look up more about this “Richard Donoghue” guy…
-
His Wikipedia article is currently only a stub; if any enterprising Wikipedians want to help improve it, I’m sure that’d be welcome: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Donoghue
-
ooh, turning a judge and his former clerk against each other will be interesting
-
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…
-
Audio from Gen. Milley shows that his attempt at reputation rehabilitation is ongoing
-
not really a fan of this mythologizing/sanctifying of our history, but I get why it’s necessary here…
-
new footage incoming!
-
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?
-
ok so that’s it for that video; 10 minute break now
-
using this break to dig up some old Jan 6th content from me; what a lousy time it was for my phone to have died: @cooljeanius/1479174503477485568
-
Reminder that NH House Republicans prevented Kathy Rogers from giving her unanimous consent speech about January 6th on its anniversary this year. #NHPolitics @cooljeanius/1479228688822677510
-
Also they wouldn’t even let us take the vote to let her continue speaking by roll call: @cooljeanius/1479412148828782597
-
ok tonight’s hearing is back
-
looks like our first batch of witnesses will be US Capitol Police officers
-
oops, just one police officer, and then the other witness is a documentary filmmaker
-
Officer Caroline Edwards giving her opening testimony now
-
Hm apparently Mr. Quested (the documentarian speaking now) has a British accent
-
Mr. Quested said he was subpoenaed to be there
-
Markus Childress giving some info on Proud Boys now
-
lol Enrique Tarrio be snitchin on his cohorts
-
Alex Jones had Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes on his show
-
wait so why did we swear in those live witnesses if we’re just doing another video instead?
-
Ah apparently the reason Mr. Quested is under subpoena is because he was embedded with the Proud Boys
-
Mr. Quested provided the video of Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes meeting
-
Mr. Quested puts the number of Proud Boys marching towards the Capitol at first at “a couple hundred”
-
switching from Chair Thompson questioning Mr. Quested to Rep. Cheney questioning Officer Edwards
-
Ah apparently Officer Edwards was right at that first breach point
-
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
-
I wonder if they were actually spelling it out in their chant or if that’s just the Officer sanitizing it for TV
-
Even after getting knocked unconscious, she still got back up to hold the line again! I personally would have sought medical attention…
-
injured twice
-
She was with Officer Sicknick, who died the night after
-
Rep. Cheney yields back to Chair Thompson for questioning Officer Edwards
-
time for another video; now with interviews of people who were charged for their actions during the day
-
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.
-
ok tonight’s hearing is adjourned
