                                                                  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius

                                                            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 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

                                                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

                                      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.

                              Chair Thompson hands off to Rep. Lofgren for questioning Mr. Stirewalt

                            Stirewalt explaining the term “red mirage” now
                        1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                          Bill Barr knew that the “red mirage” was a thing too
                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                        as did Bill Stepien

      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
        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...

      10 minute recess now; phew...
  1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
    ok we’re back for the second panel now

                          focusing now on how the “Big Lie” tied in with Trump’s fundraising tactics
                          1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                            there was no actual such thing as an “Election Defense Fund” that Trump was asking for money for; the money went to his “Save America PAC” instead
                            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                              now tying the fundraising emails with how they led right up to the Jan. 6th insurrection
                              1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                sounds like Trump might be facing fraud charges for fraudulent fundraising, too
