very smart strategy from the Jan 6 commitee

[drray23]

What they are establishing is that everybody knew that Trump had lost election night but Trump and maybe Giuliani both insisted otherwise.
This proves Trump had the intent and resolve to carry on contesting it including plotting to reverse it.

[uponit7771]

1. K&R,

[czarjak]

2. WHO, knew?

[usaf-vet]

30. As ALWAYS it's about the grift. Getting suckers to send him money. PERIOD!

[FailureToCommunicate]

33. Yup. Upwards of $250 MILLION according to MSNBC tonight!

[ancianita]

3. From his campaign to his AG, evidence beyond reasonable doubt that Trump was committed to defrauding

The People.

Stepien testifies that Trump rejected Stepien's Team Normal and pushed forward Giuliani's Team Crazy.

[Politicub]

4. The format proved itself to be effective following the Thursday night hearing.

What was disclosed dominated the news cycle for days afterward. The committee is setting the agenda for discussions of what really caused the 1/6 seditious riot.

It’s quite brilliant, actually.

[Aussie105]

35. It's quite brilliant, indeed!

Time lines of events laid out clearly, decisions made at the time out in the open.
Laws broken, Trump's Pledge of Allegiance and the Constitution swept aside.

All choreographed over a season of J6 exciting episodes.

So clear in fact, anyone watching will have no doubt about what happened, and why.

And, most importantly, where the centre of the insane volcano-coup was, and still is.
The source of all evil clearly identified, as is the supporting cast of equally evil henchmen.

In less polite times, the legally appointed executioner would be sharpening his axe even as we speak.
Or Mme Guillotine brought out and checked for functionality.

[Magoo48]

5. Let's hope the entire team at the DOJ is ready for aggressive, hard fought, courageous victories,

victories for our common welfare, for moral, to build confidence, and to strengthen our Democracy. To succeed, the DOJ must charge hard, if not, the whole thing fades to…?

[AllaN01Bear]

9. i want to see grand juries up and running in case doj goes limp.

[rsdsharp]

16. Who is going to convene the grand juries for federal crimes

if the DOJ doesn’t?

[MineralMan]

17. You know that the DOJ initiates those federal grand juries, right?

Nobody else can, actually. So, maybe you're looking in the wrong place.

[Magoo48]

19. That would helpful as long as the DOJ doesn't see it as somewhere to pass the buck.

[Magoo48]

20. That would be helpful indeed.

[barbtries]

6. if he tries the defense that he believed he had won,

he'll have to plead insanity.

[Takket]

7. correct......

he could reasonably expect to defend himself by saying "well, i was told about all this fraud, if those people lied to me, or were just stupid, that's not my fault"

but they are proving he KNEW it was a lie, and that is needed as part of his conspiracy to mount a coup. That he KNEW he was lying and using those lies to whip his supporters up to attack the capital.

[vanlassie]

13. And there at the end that Badass Zoe Lofgren points out that fundraising was likely the motivating

influence for Trump to be deaf. He’s a fucking grifter, once and forever.

[jmbar2]

8. They are thoroughly debunking "The Big Lie" witness after witness, evidence by evidence

Debunking will be the main news of the day. Hopefully it will be convincing to some MAGAts.


Very smart.

[Lonestarblue]

11. And the debunking is being done by the Republicans who were around Trump.

I don’t know how MAGATS will continue to believe Trump’s lies, but I’m sure they’ll find ezcuses.

[jmbar2]

12. And then Zoe comes in with "follow the money" shot

That he was using it to grift money. If I recall correctly, one of the beneficiaries of the grift was an organization associated with Ginni Thomas.

[EmmaLee E]

31. They will continue to believe TFG's lies

Because they don't know these other people. And TFG calls them "losers"

[Martin68]

10. I agree. The committee's focus is rightly on Trump as the instigator, planner, and

insurrectionist-in-chief of the coup. He couldn't have done it alone, but he was at the center at all times.

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

[PatrickforB]

15. TREASON. No doubt of it.

Trump is a cancer on this republic.

[Tree Lady]

18. Yes when his campaign manager basically said

to give it up is when he put in Giullani in to lie about winning. And we all know Guillani is willing to lie for Trump about anything.

[Captain Zero]

37. Especially when he is in a drunken stupor

I predict Rudy will be checking in somewhere soon to dry out. I'd put cold hard cash on it.

[MySideOfTown]

21. No longer care if Tfg is marched off in handcuffs

A straight jacket and being marched off to a mental hospital, where he spends his remaining days would suffice.

[markie]

22. or

just take away all his money and put him in subsidized housing with no phone or TV

[Bluethroughu]

25. Lol...a death sentence.

Without fox snooze he'll die.

[Elwood P Dowd]

27. And have the walls of every room covered in posters of Hillary, Obama, Biden, and Pelosi. (nm)

[Bluethroughu]

23. Excellent step by step to coup...

But it wasn't just Trump and Ghouliani, all the Congressional members that failed to vote on the certification should be 14th Amendmented, thrown out of office and prevented forever from serving ANY public office.

They knew then as they know now, he lost. They are now subverting our Country's law and order by continuing this Seditious Conspiracy.

[Escurumbele]

24. The intent was to make money from the fools that support him...more than $200 million

Its insane. What makes me upset is the talking heads, mostly Andrea Mitchell insisting that will be very difficult to prove intent, in my opinion they proved that last Thursday and corroborated it today.

Even the crazies who stormed that Capitol understand that trump SENT them there.

[Bluethroughu]

28. Totally Agree.

The committee has laid out the case.

Cut and dry.

[mzmolly]

26. Not to mention the resulting

grift.

[YoshidaYui]

29. TREASON IS THE REASON

[LiberalFighter]

32. Consider that Fox was first to declare Biden the winner.

[eppur_se_muova]

34. And all the people who testified to this were REPUBICANS -- many in LMcL's inner circle. nt

[canetoad]

36. And Rudy

Was drunk.
