            ok here’s the stream for today’s hearing: youtube.com/watch?v=pr5QUInmGI8 (lol they disabled chat this time around)

          last time around, leaving the chat enabled led to it being mostly Morbius: @cooljeanius/1535050219263762432

        hm, seems to be starting a bit later than last time; last time it was 5~6 minutes late, and this time we’re up to 7~8 minutes late… at least they have an indicator up this time showing that the wait is on their end…
    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
      oh so maybe this is why they’re running later this time; apparently the plan for Bill Stepien to appear live is falling through: @mkraju/1536349037632397314

      His kid will have one heck of a birth story to tell people: “Hey everyone, I’m the reason my dad got to get out of testifying before Congress about his role in the attempted end of American democracy!”

        OK apparently his lawyer will still be appearing: @MacFarlaneNews/1536335832503701504

            ok yeah Chair Thompson is opening the hearing now

              Rep. Cheney’s turn for an opening statement; they’re going to be focusing on the “Big Lie” portion today
              1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                Eric Herschman (Trump lawyer) says they never found any evidence of any of the Dominion allegations
                1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                  The “2000 Mules” thing was showing up a lot last week in the chat (when that was enabled), so it’s interesting to see Rep. Cheney addressing that
                  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                    Rep. Lofgren gets an opening statement this time, too
                    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                      So yeah we already know that Trump’s 2020 allegations were false; the interesting part here is how they’re going to show that he *knew* they were false and kept making them anyways
                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                        mini-montage of Trump claiming that there would be election fraud even before it happened… I’m not sure how that would be convincing that he was lying to true believers? They’d just say, “Well, his predictions were correct!”

                          The witness who could make it (the Fox News guy) is sworn in now; showing a bit more of video of “checked-out” Ivanka and Jared Kushner and Jason Miller from their depositions first
                          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                            they’re going to be focusing on the moment when Fox called Arizona

                              lol Rudy Giuliani was drunk on Election Night 2020

                                so from this deposition it sounds like Trump just completely ignored Stepien’s advice
                                1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                  I think the Fox News guy is @ChrisStirewalt? He confirms that Biden won.

                                        Bill Barr knew that the “red mirage” was a thing too

                                                          I'm kinda drifting now; wish I'd slept better last night... I get why they have to debunk all these separate claims of fraud, but it's still kinda repetitive to listen to...
