****1/6 Committee Hearings Day 6, thread FOUR****

[BumRushDaShow]

(THREAD 3 - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216862220)


CSPAN, for those who have access to that cable channel, is broadcasting live as are other free/cable news broadcast outlets.

For those without a TV and/or who are unable to watch (if at work or home or if traveling, etc but have a mobile device with internet access), here are a few of what are many streams that can be used to view/listen to today's session, including the J6 Committee's own stream on YouTube (the major broadcast - ABC, NBC, CBS, and cable networks CNN, MSNBC, etc., and print - WaPo, WSJ, etc., usually air and/or stream these hearings as well) . If you have a local or nearby Public Radio station, they will often broadcast the audio on those stations using NPR's feed -

[Lars39]

1. Thanks!

[Ohio Joe]

2. Damn...So much to comment on and process...

What a hearing!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Discussing how to craft a video for 45 to give

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Here's the thing about Trump tantrums

They are going to be on film, everything is on film somewhere, especially in the White House.

[crickets]

11. Wasn't there a documentary film maker there that day?

Not the same one that was following the PBoys.

[IcyPeas]

5. I am scratching my head wondering

WHY they all covered up for him????

[Bucky]

18. You heard Hutchinson. She was proud of the work they did up till Jan 5th

They liked all of Trump's policies. They wanted to protect that work.

They imagine the fascism isn't simply a logical extension of Trump's extreme conservatism.

[Cheezoholic]

6. How did these people not know

how dangerous and insane these slime balls were, besides most of us of course

[blogslug]

7. Y'all

TFG grabbed the wheel of a moving car and tried to strangle his Secret Service driver because he wanted to storm the Capitol.

[hatrack]

16. As if he's ever stormed anything more formidable than a buffet table . . .

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome President Fucking Whiny-Ass Toddler!!"

[MLAA]

90. You nailed it! Stormed anything more formidable than a buffet table!

He’d even need the oathcreepers to take candy from babies.

[llmart]

72. +1 a gazillion!

Jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick! Throwing food and dinnerware? And THAT's what was our so-called "President"?

I can't even.....

[Lars39]

8. Speech on the 7th

He wanted to include mention of pardons for rioters…he didn’t think they had done anything wrong on Jan6

[AKwannabe]

89. I believe that the "actors" were dangled this as a way to make sure they arrived.

On the 6th. The “actors” (rioters) knew they would be pardoned as some of them mentioned it WAY before this hearing.

But tRump dumped em. Scapegoats!

[Bucky]

9. We now know why Cheney was pushing for Cipollone to come testify

I think he has to now. He's probably holding out for immunity deal from DOJ. It's beyond me why they don't just subpoena the lot of these enabling fuckwads

[Marthe48]

10. maybe ivanka's chance to rule is shot

sure hope so

[llmart]

78. I sure hope so.

I remember when a trumper person I knew said Ivanka was brilliant and would be the first female president. I almost barfed.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Sounds like the staff was trying to prompt the upper echelon to do something while 45

was not cooperating on anything.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Big pile of people helped to encourage 45 to make a statement

Meadows, Cippolone, Jarvanka, Herschmann, et al.

Threat of 25th of Amendment.

[EYESORE 9001]

14. I'm thankful for these threads, which sustain me during work-like activities

I’d be going hermantile without an outline of proceedings.

[IcyPeas]

31. had to look that word up. never heard it before

In the Navy and the Marines, if someone goes hermantile, they’re angry, shouting, and unpredictable. This slang expression is of uncertain origin. It goes back to World War I but has stayed almost exclusively within the military’s lexicon and writings related to the Navy or the Marines.

[Lars39]

15. He had to be convinced to do the speech on January 7

[crickets]

25. and refused to include language stating the election

was over. He also wanted to pardon the crowd but Pat Cippollone wouldn't let him.

[Scrivener7]

17. He wouldn't condemn the attack on January 7 and wanted to put in the speech that

he would pardon everyone who was there.

[Novara]

19. I hope that EVERY SINGLE PERSON associated with this criminal enterprise

is treated like a pariah from now on.

[Lars39]

20. Guliani, Meadows seeked pardons

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Confirmed that Ghouliani and Meadows asked for pardon

[Scrivener7]

21. Woop woop! Giuliani and Meadows asked for pardon for what they did with respect to January 6.

[Lars39]

23. Cheney closing statements

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. Ms Hutchinson is a freaking HERO.

[llmart]

81. No, she's a SHERO!

I've said it a thousand times on DU - I wanted it to be WOMEN that brought this motherf***er down and it looks like Cheney and Hutchinson are gettin' it done!

[NoMoreRepugs]

84. SHERO it is!!

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Cheney doing closing remarks

[Botany]

27. Cassidy Hutchinson is what a hero looks like.

[Bucky]

36. She's a patriot, I'll admit. Not a hero

A hero wouldn't wait 18 months.

[JudyM]

28. Thanks for the meeting room and drinks, BRDS.

[Novara]

29. WITNESS TAMPERING!

[Mersky]

86. First witness tampering statement shown

"What they said to me is, as long as I continue to be a
team player, they know that I'm on the team, I'm doing
the right thing, I'm protecting who I need to protect, you
know, I'll continue to stay in good graces in Trump
World. And they have reminded me a couple of times that
Trump does read transcripts and just to keep that in
mind as I proceeded through my depositions and
interviews with the committee.”

[Mersky]

88. Second witness statement shown

"[A person] let me know you have your deposition
tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he's
thinking about you. He knows you're loyal, and
you're going to do the right thing when you go in
for your deposition."

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Cheney - spelling out without naming names - the witness tampering

[Bucky]

32. Meadows sought a pardon. So did Giuliani

Trump never pardoned any of them. Probably because he was pissed that the coup failed.

More importantly, he didn't want to be left as the only person still vulnerable to prosecution

[sunonmars]

54. Trump does not do loyalty, wouldn't save anyone but himself.

He's the guy who would push his kids in front of zombies to give him time to get away.

[crickets]

64. Yep. Also had to worry about implicating himself

in the process. Was probably cautioned against pardoning people who could turn around and testify against him.

[spooky3]

77. And if pardoned, they can't take the fifth when forced to testify

[Lars39]

33. Paraphrase...remember Trump reads transcripts of testimony

[uponit7771]

34. These fuckers are mafia ... threatening witnesses

[Lars39]

37. Yup

[SheltieLover]

57. This!👆

[BumRushDaShow]

35. Bennie Thompson giving his closing remarks and thanks to Hutchinson

38. Team Trump threatened Jan 6 Witnesses

[Karma13612]

70. This was very similar wording to what

Trump communicated to his personal lawyer who did some time a few years ago….Michael Cohen….

Very mob-ish

[Novara]

39. I need a shower, man.

[livetohike]

40. Bennie Thompson brings me to tears.

[Tommy Carcetti]

41. Okay 100% that second quote about "appreciating loyalty" was Trump himself.

It just has to be, right?

[livetohike]

43. That's how I interpret it.

[roamer65]

42. Mmmmmmm...witness tampering.

Yum.

[Scrivener7]

44. Cheney: the committee routinely asks whether any of their former colleagues contacted them

to influence their testimonies.

And they clearly have been influenced to testify untruthfully. The answers sound like they have been contacted by the Mafia. "We know you'll do the right thing and don't forget that tfg reads testimonies. We know you'll do what it takes to stay in good graces in Trumpland."

[crickets]

48. It's chilling. There's no excuse for it. nt

[crickets]

45. THANK YOU, Cassidy Hutchinson!

Thank you, BRDS for the threads! Also thanks to all the folks here following along and commenting.

[Lovie777]

46. GQP are washing their hands of shithole . ....

since they think it's going to be smooth sailing for the party of death to destroy democracy.

Shithole served his fucked up purpose. GQP are ready to move on with the insanity.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. ****COMMITTEE NOW ADJOURNED FOR THE DAY****

[livetohike]

49. What a day. Thanks BumRushDaShow!

[Scrivener7]

50. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!

[speak easy]

58. and I would like add ... another WOW.

[Scrivener7]

61. And further....... WOW!

[Novara]

51. I love this:

Link to tweet

[Lars39]

56. Lol...ramen!

[dalton99a]

63. +1

[FalloutShelter]

74. Yassssssss!

[JudyM]

52. Jamie Raskin gave her a quick hug as she was leaving.

[ancianita]

53. Thank you, BRDS! We are all grateful for your work!

[Marthe48]

55. even after all of this, traitor was in power

until Jan 20th. We are lucky he didn't bomb the U.S. fpos

[Scrivener7]

59. Another quote from my sister

(the one who said this is better than day drinking):

"It's the mafia meets Theresa Guidice meets Yosemite Sam."

[BumRushDaShow]

62. LOL

[crickets]

68. Your sister is a stitch!

[Scrivener7]

73. She is.

[MLAA]

91. What are you waiting for? Get your sister registered and posting on DU! Please 🙂

[Scrivener7]

93. Sadly, it's just not her thing. She votes D all the way, but has no interest in

talking to others about politics on a regular basis.

[MLAA]

94. Bummer, she is just so quick witted! Glad you have her for a sister and she has you!

[Scrivener7]

95. Thank you. That's very kind.

[BumRushDaShow]

60. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR OFFERING COMMENTS

And thank you for the thanks! Have been multi-tasking (there's a COVID-19 vax meeting going with FDA VRBPAC discussing the bivalent/variant-specific vaccines).

[Scrivener7]

67. Thank you BumRushDaShow!!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

76. Most welcome!

[Novara]

65. Think about this, guys:

This is just before the 4th of July weekend. We get time to think about the ideals this country was founded on (and which are being tattered right now by the SCOTUS) and the fact that a former president staged a coup to steal an election, wanted his VP dead, assaulted a SS agent, throw things against the wall in temper tantrums, etc.

And I don't think this is the peak of this, people.

But we get to think about the 4th of July and THIS. What a fucking contrast.

[sinkingfeeling]

82. And there's several primaries happening today.

[Cheezoholic]

66. Flynn and Stone can still be indicted

I think. I don't think their pardons would cover this?

[Tommy Carcetti]

71. Nope. nt

[crickets]

75. No, those pardons do not cover this. nt

[llmart]

83. What happens to Rooty Tooty?

He asked for a pardon too.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

79. I need a drink and a smoke.

[Marthe48]

80. Thank you for posting threads

it was vital to watch this hearing and share it with other Americans

[TwilightZone]

85. Thank you again for the threads and commentary.

You rock.

[EndlessWire]

87. Trump was waiting to hear

that Mike Pence had been hung. That's my take on it. Others were fully informed of the J6 attempted coup.

Our soldiers are schooled in unlawful orders and their duty not to obey such an order. You can never take the position that you were "just following orders." What was wrong with Meadows, who clearly knew that Trump thought it was okay to hang Mike Pence, and yet persisted in doing nothing because the pRes didn't want anything done to save Pence and others from the rioters?

This is so disgusting.

TY, BRDS...

[electric_blue68]

92. TY, BRTS! gah, authoritarian, crazy man-baby! (NOT You to be clear! 😉 )
