These photos — which were published exclusively in “Betrayal” — show the scene at the White House on election night. Look at the faces — these people did not think they were winning.






Bill Stepien, Trump campaign manager testifying in deposition shown at Monday's hearing, asked about mood in the WH election night when Arizona was called for Joe Biden:

Stepien: "It was a surprise when it was called"

Counsel: "Who was surprised?"

Stepien: "Most everyone in the room."

Counsel: "Did that shift the atmosphere, the attitude?"

Stepien: "Completely... because FOX News was the first one to go out and say that."


...nice to put some visuals to that moment so many of us remember as the point where we knew Trump had lost for certain.

that CNN and MSNBC would continue to focus on whatshisname because he's a cash cow for them. There's almost no political story they cover that isn't framed as "what does this say about whatshisname's handle on the party?" or "does this mean whatshisname is losing control?" or "will whatshisname react badly because of this thing another repub (or Democrat) said?"

Look on every damn one of them after hearings one and two. After the climax on prime time, those faces will look like the raging J6 lunatics attacking the Capital. Maybe after the Last hearing, we will see GQP congress exiting the Capital as frantically as their cult entered. Play the video in reverse to see how they run for their lives, with Hawley high fisting the caravan of traitors.

I seem to remember her giving an interview and coming out with that. BUT, a lot of water has gone under the bridge!

for some "help" to come from their old buddy Vlad that never came.

Their internal polling should have predicted the outcome, so why do they all look so surprised?

No last minute aid from, "Russia, Russia, Russia" this time. It really sucks when elections are fair, huh Trumpublicans?
