What do you think the hearings have proven so far?

Most of us already know most of what happened. But what do you think the J6 committee has proven so far?

I'll start with my biggest impression: there can be no plausible deniability of the truth because way more people that I thought CLEARLY told the orange motherfucker that he lost and there was no voter fraud, from election night onwards. They told him in numbers. They told him about how ballots are counted. They told him that early returns would change because of the number of absentee ballots due to the pandemic. They told him in numerous ways and at numerous junctions that HE LOST.

To me, they proved that he couldn't possibly have been deluded enough to think he really did win.

The select committee laid out criminal intent. Merrick Garland has to decide if he is going to indict a former president, that's what's left.

The truth told well is superior to the truth buried in weeks and months of public hearings.

6. That Trump was under no illusion

That he won the election or that there was enuf recounting of votes that would help him win.

Therefore, the reason he kept pushing the idea that he won, was because he wanted to hold on to power. And he CONvinced a bunch of his MAGA fans that the best way to do that was by force.

He facilitated an insurrection. And he has committed wire fraud by soliciting donations from his rabid base to use for his own purposes. Not to help with defending ‘the vote’.

... Democrats (and two patriotic republicans) can hold hearings that are 100% substantive instead of grandstanding for campaign ads.

Not one person has used their time for any grandstanding. It's all been about the evidence and not personalities, except for the criminal fuck at the center of the probe.

How refreshing!

Rosen told Trump that the Justice Department could not “flip a switch and change the election,” according to notes of the conversation cited by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I don’t expect you to do that,” Trump responded, according to the notes. “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.” The president urged Rosen to “just have a press conference.”
