Luttig closes with this: "I have written that today, almost two years after that fateful day in Jan.

1. Well worth hearing his concluding remarks

Also a strong warning what may be in store for the US if Trump is not charged and convicted along with many of his allies and supporters. Next time we won't be as lucky.

2. I agree.

I did not get to watch today, but that closing by Luttig is very powerful. I hope the nightly news summaries play it.

3. And took a long long long silent break to said

What is and he’s mind for two years…I can imagine he’s wife patience when they are talking……🫠

4. Its almost 18 months since the coup, not 2 years

but he's pretty smart so I'll let it slide.

7. Strong sentiment from a clearly understated guy

I'm guessing he never said anything exaggerated or over the top in his life. Coming from another person, such strong words might be dismissed. Coming from him....well it probably means something. To the great unwashed masses, if THIS guy says someting like this, you better sit up and take notice.

9. KnR!

10. Yes..

Knr

Helps to explain his deliberate testimony.

Utterly beyond his ability to imagine what his fellow Rs* were and are capable of. Till he saw it for himself!

Thats what living in an ivory tower will do.

Eastman was Luttig's clerk at one time!

11. Indeed, a clear and present danger.

[Probatim]

12. I've read 20 posts about Luttig's deliberate speaking style today and just listened to this video.

When the video started buffering, I almost fell out of my chair. Even Twitter wants him to slow down.

[Javaman]

13. or as I like to say, coup in search of a clue. LOL

[RayStar]

14. His words

were scary.

[calimary]

15. And that's from a conservative.

Think anybody will take it seriously - from HIM?

Can’t help wondering how many, if any, will be weaned off their knuckledragging by a guy like him?

16. K&R x1000! n/t

[maxrandb]

17. Yes, law allies like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett nt

18. I thought that was the most powerful statement in the entire hearing. Certainly appears to

be a man who puts his country and the Constitution above party.
