The First Hearing left a few questions.

They focused on the worst part of the attack, with the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. They showed, with their photographer witness, that the Proud Boys were on their way to the Capitol at 10:30 am. Donald Trump had not yet started his speech. They must have known what time the certification of the Electoral College would begin?

The Photographer informed the Committee that after they "cased" (my description) a Capitol entrance, They all then went to eat dinner and were back at the Capitol at 12:53 pm - about seven minutes before the certification process would begin. They forced their way into the Capitol.

At the same time, the states, in alphabetical order, would begin the electoral count process, beginning with Alabama, Alaska, and Arizona. As I recall, when they got to the state of Arizona, someone challenged the vote, perhaps Paul Gosar or some Arizona Congressperson? They had to ask a US Senator for a second on their motion. Was it Senator Ted Cruz from TX that agreed with the Arizona Congressman?

The question that arises is: Did anyone in Arizona or TX work with the Proud Boys in regards to their certification process, and what would be the best time to enter the Capitol? And what would they have done if they had captured some Senator or Congressman or CongressLady?

With the timing by the Proud Boys, it showed that it was not a spontaneous gathering. It was planned?

The question remains, who planned it?

About a "wild" time on January 6th?

But, to attack the Capitol, they needed help. Who helped them?

Didn't Navarro say it was started "beautifully" by Cruz and Gosar and was going as planned until the breach started.

It was Trump.

It started with Trump and continued with all of his minions and through his machinations.

Who else could it be that was behind it?

Come on, you know it was Trump!

We all know who was behind it. But there needs to be evidence that would be permissible in a court of law.

The hit squad was on the move before the orange turd started speaking. The groundwork has been laid. (Even if Liz Chaney hasn't been!😅

..but there was some shock and awe with this one. Ivanka threw Daddy under the bus. Several more to come which will answer more questions.

maybe the personal story of the brave female Capitol Police officer (can't remember her name),
but what I really want is real dirt on Repub members of Congress. I'm pretty sure they have it, perhaps
to present later. The story is more than a can of worms, it's a f'ing swimming pool of worms, going back
to Russian involvement with tfg. Many of the repubs that got Russian money are the same ones trying
to cover tfg's ass. The mid-terms are right around the corner and some damning evidence against guys like
Jordan or Boebert would be good.
