-
getting started now
-
Chair Thompson’s opening statement focusing on Trump’s summoning of the mob to the Capitol
-
Rep. Cheney says Mr. Cipollone’s testimony “met our expectations”
-
.@RepStephMurphy’s opening statement now; she’s going to be playing a larger role today
-
Now Rep. Raskin’s turn… 4 opening statements is kind of a bit more than usual?
-
Rep. Raskin bringing up an Abraham Lincoln anecdote to draw a parallel about racist mobs
-
Rep. Murphy playing a clip of Mitch McConnell acknowledging Biden’s victory
-
video deposition of Eugene Scalia saying he told Trump to accept the outcome
-
ok here are our first clips of Pat Cipollone’s deposition
-
Pat Cipollone is agreeing with Bill Barr and Mark Meadows that Trump should have conceded
-
Hm, saying “I began to plan for life after the administration” isn’t exactly the same as saying “Trump should have conceded”… sometimes people prepare for outcomes that they hope will never come about
-
Rep. Raskin playing clips of testimony about attempts to seize voting machines
-
Pat Cipollone didn’t think Sidney Powell should have been appointed to anything
-
Sounds like Bernie Kerik needs to go back to jail
-
…where did this overstock dot com CEO come from?!
-
montage of video depositions being cut together now
-
wow look at how perfectly Sidney Powell was displaying that Dr. Pepper logo for the camera… wonder how much she got paid for that
-
Rudy Giuliani’s voice sounds like he swallowed a bottle of sand
-
physical fight that almost happened would’ve been between Eric Herschmann and Mike Flynn
-
Feels so weird to hear tweets described like this
-
lol Tim Pool must be fuming to be described as a “Pro-Trump YouTuber” (which is entirely true, btw!)
-
these people all have the worst-sounding voices
-
they interviewed a Twitter employee for this hearing
-
lol they had to disguise the Twitter employee’s voice to protect their identity; first witness they’ve had to do this with?
-
lol this is the first time I think I’ve seen what Jim Watkins actually looks like
-
The fact that RWNJs already expended all their “Civil War starting now” rhetorical ammo on January 6th gives me a bit more hope that any future attempt at starting a Civil War can’t be any worse… I mean, they already tried once & not enough people showed up for them to succeed…
-
anyways, brief recess now
-
…wonder what that brief moment of audio coming back on was?
-
seeing some people posting pics of witnesses arriving; wonder why they aren’t on the YouTube stream yet?
-
ah nvm here we go
-
.@donell_harvin talking about the chatter that intel folks were picking up before Jan. 6th
-
Pics of Flynn together with Oath Keepers
-
Stone, Rhodes, Tarrio, & Alexander were in communication
-
More of Roger Stone bringing extremists together
-
Communications between Kylie Kremer and Katrina Pierson being shown
-
Time for @KatrinaPierson’s turn to get thrown under the bus
-
Pierson was “particularly concerned” about Ali Alexander and Alex Jones
-
lol at even his draft tweets having the double exclamation point
-
Ali Alexander leaked the “let’s go to the Capitol” plan even though Kylie Kremer didn’t want that getting out
-
listing a bunch of Congressfolks involved
-
Pat Cipollone trying to claim executive privilege and recommend Mike Pence for a Medal of Freedom
-
Reminder that Freedom Plaza was one of the two sites of OccupyDC encampments in DC back when Occupy was a thing (main one was at McPherson Square; the Freedom Plaza one was the lesser one)
-
“Judd Deere” is such a stereotypically Republican name
-
audio of Debbie Lesko being concerned about impending violence
-
Rep. Murphy going over the changes between how Trump’s speech was drafted and how he actually gave it (with ad-libs)
-
wow so Brad Parscale is capable of showing guilt apparently (more so than Katrina Pierson is, at least)
-
time for the live witnesses
-
Can anyone identify what Mr. Van Tatenhove’s pins are?
-
also who is it pictured on the shirt of the woman sitting behind him with a photo-print t-shirt on?
-
Holocaust denial was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Mr. Van Tatenhove, apparently
-
Now Mr. Ayres telling about his life in an accounting firm
-
Mr. Ayres saying he was drawn to the Capitol on January 6th via social media
-
huh a case where someone doing their own research actually worked out
-
Looking into Trump’s interest in the Insurrection Act now
-
Wondering how all those “I like Trump because he’s not a neocon like Bush was” phonies are feeling about this testimony that Trump was stealing Bush’s idea of doing a deck of cards of enemies
-
Likewise (in the opposite direction) with the #NeverTrump neocons like Kristol et al who supported the original deck of cards that Trump was drawing inspiration from… any regret about how Bush’s militarism has morphed into a movement that they now hate?
-
closing statements now
-
Rep. Murphy giving a bit of personal background here
-
ok adjourned now
