4. Pence needs to step up and testify

No executive privilege, no bullshit.

[livetohike]

Trump would have loved Pence to be eliminated.

[uponit7771]

16. +1,

[nolabear]

12. Yes he does. I swear he's not human.

How he can betray those people who thought they were going to die protecting him is beyond me.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Witnesses are now returning to the hearing room and have been seated

[Scrivener7]

6. Former staffers are shocked by the audio of the SS getting Pence out per CNN

[Going to Canada]

13. That guy needs to be removed!

Now!

[BumRushDaShow]

10. J6 Committee members are now entering the room and are getting seated

[crickets]

14. It's a huge thing that SS thought death was a distinct possibility

as they were trying to get Pence out of the Capitol.

[BumRushDaShow]

[livetohike]

17. Showing text messages between Don Jr and Meadows. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Showing texts between Jr. and Meadows

[crickets]

25. Don Jr concerned about his father's legacy.

It sounds like he was worried about tfg rather than the safety of Pence and Congress. Typical.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Showed Hannity text with the same commentaray

[dalton99a]

20. .

[Scrivener7]

28. Ooooh! Nice!

[irisblue]

21. Now the fox commentators by name? Via their messages

[livetohike]

22. Hannity texting Meadows to tell Trump to tell

the rioters to go home.

[Scrivener7]

24. Junior's texts to Meadows:

Junior: They will try to fuck his entire legacy if this gets worse.

[nolabear]

26. And Hannity is on RIGHT NOW calling the hearing a sham.

I shit you not.

[Scrivener7]

29. Cannot make this up.

[electric_blue68]

61. Effing Hanity

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Ingrahm, Mulvany texts - have to stop this

[Ilsa]

30. TFG 's tweets said "STAY calm" and "REMAIN peaceful"?

That sounds like code to the insurrectionists, and CYA for him.

[underpants]

31. Side note - Liz Cheney has a nice place.

[CanonRay]

37. Jackson Hole I think

[BumRushDaShow]

32. OMG Cipollone just had too many pregnant pauses about who wanted people to stay in the Capitol!

[Lars39]

38. Looked like he and his lawyer were doing some eyeball Morse code or something!

[BumRushDaShow]

42. Some of that even went past morse code

and was almost audible!

[Lars39]

109. lol

[crickets]

39. His body language is also giving him away.

He was a little combative with Schiff when he added tfg to the list of people in the WH being asked about, and he never answered that question about tfg.

[BumRushDaShow]

46. He is a lawyer that DEFINITELY couldn't be a poker player!

(it was like he was re-running the whole thing in his mind and internally face-palming all over again)

[livetohike]

33. What is up with this asserting "privilege" and Cippolone ?

It looks so guilty.

[IcyPeas]

34. texts:

[EnergizedLib]

40. That text from Three Names

Not so big now, are you, you insurrectionist?

She wanted this.

[catbyte]

35. Patsy Baloney is a coward too. "Executive privilege" my ass.

[MLAA]

47. Absolutely agree. What a coward.

[uponit7771]

49. +1,

[Scrivener7]

36. Patsy Baloney says no one on the staff wanted the rioters to stay. Cheney says

"What about the President?"

He won't answer.

But tfg was still sitting on the couch doing nothing.

[nolabear]

41. Showing Fox, which is what he was seeing.

I can’t help but think he had a hard on watching these people endangering those terrified Congresspeople.

[IcyPeas]

56. I just had the same exact thought.

[livetohike]

43. Trump did not want to mention the word "peaceful" in

a tweet.

[EnergizedLib]

44. No mention of peace in a tweet

If he’s ever allowed to come back and returns, get the eulogy for America ready.

[elleng]

45. Wanted NO MENTION OF PEACE.

[Scrivener7]

51. Can you just imagine what his mind must be like that he WANTED this to happen?

Can you imagine how sick he is.

[elleng]

87. Power hungry traitor/Scared 'little boy'

[uponit7771]

48. ***BOOM*** They are linking Benedict Donald's tweets to terrorist actions !!!

[crickets]

50. McEnany says tfg couldn't be convinced to send a better tweet.

Ivanka was the one who suggested "stay peaceful." The only word the crowd heard was "stay," of course.

[dalton99a]

73. +1

[BumRushDaShow]

52. Playing clips from various Proud Boys' communications

[crickets]

57. "This is what we trained for." So pleased with themselves. Ugh. nt

[Scrivener7]

64. "I don't care what they say, he's not leaving the White House." They

might as well have lain on the floor and kicked their feet and screamed, "I don't WANT to lose! I won't! I won't! I won't!"

[BumRushDaShow]

75. Kushner testimony describing McCarthy's strate of mind

"Scared"

[nolabear]

53. What we trained for? Oh really?

I hope they rot in prison.

[livetohike]

59. We need to have them come before the committee. n/t

[nolabear]

63. Yes we do. September is going to be something.

[Deminpenn]

54. A bit underwhelming so far

Maybe could be doing a better job with the tick tock timeline.

The calls and stuff about the secret service bring afraid for their lives were an eye opener.

[uponit7771]

72. +1, for those who aren't day to day this is bombshell news but its good that people feel ...

... underwhelmed, I'm thinking after 7 hearings if people are still blown away then this country is screwed ... proper screwed.

[Deminpenn]

105. Agree, this is new info for lots of people

but not nearly as much for those of us who have been following closely.

[livetohike]

55. "This is what we trained for." Said by a rioter on video.

We need to hear more from that guy.

[nolabear]

60. Yeah I want to know about that training.

[IzzaNuDay]

68. The loaded question!

When did this training start and who knew about it?

It's too darned obvious this was a planned treasonous and insurrectionist attack!

[uponit7771]

62. +1,

[Scrivener7]

58. These people on the walky talkies. SMDH. They sound like children

playing at being strong.

What complete assholes.

[EnergizedLib]

65. Wow from Matthews

She acted like a grownup in a White House full of children.

Don’t hand the media a win.

And that’s where their minds were.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

66. Has Ali Alexander

been charged ?

[blogslug]

67. Obligatory Benny Hill theme from the Twitters

Link to tweet

[underpants]

85. OMG YES 👀

haven’t watched it yet. My wife wants to keep watching this.

[Scrivener7]

69. McCarthy told him to tell the rioters to stop. tfg refused.

"Kevin, these are my people."

McCarthy: "My staff is running for their lives, you have to call them off."

tfg: "Well Kevin, I guess my people care more about this than you do."

[crickets]

70. Matthews says that a colleague said tfg should not condemn the violence

because it would hand a win to the media. What jackass thinks this way?

Matthews was arguing with them about this in disbelief, pointing to the TV. "Do you think it looks like we're effing winning?... You should condemn violence 100% of the time."

[BumRushDaShow]

71. Play clips about McCarthy's attempts to contact 45 and finally be able to

Including audio from others filling in details including a COP congresswoman.

[Reader Rabbit]

76. Jaime Herrera Beutler

She's the Vancouver congressperson, right across the river from Portland. She's relatively sane for a Republican.

[3catwoman3]

74. That communication about a situation as grave as this to be carried...

...out mainly by texts and tweets is pathetically pedestrian.

[underpants]

77. Did Jared just say he "turned his shower off" ?????

[nolabear]

82. Yeah, washing off the stink no doubt.

That don’t wash.

[livetohike]

83. That's what I heard too n/t

[livetohike]

78. Showing clip of Pres Biden calling on Trump to get on

TV and call for an end to the siege.

[Scrivener7]

79. AGAIN they are establishing that he knew it was completely out of hand and violent,

Congress and their staff were running for their lives, tfg was able to stop it, but he refused to stop it.

Well done by the Committee.

[crickets]

94. Yes. This is powerfully making the point. nt

[nolabear]

80. Joe stepping in to act like a president.

More president already than that monster.

[EnergizedLib]

84. Thank Goodness

I appreciate President Biden more and more. That one clip showed him acting more presidential than you know who ever did.

[crickets]

88. +1000000

[uponit7771]

93. +1,

[BumRushDaShow]

81. Showed video clips of Mike Gallagher (R congressman) and Biden

imploring 45 to tell the insurrectionists to go home.

[crickets]

86. Conversation with Kevin McCarthy: tfg was trying to blame antifa.

Kev pushes back and that's when tfg says, "Well it sounds like they're more upset about this than you are." Wow.

Sounds like all of the Repubs were just as scared as anyone, were begging him to call off the mob. Unreal that he didn't bother, and they've all since crawled back to him.

[Going to Canada]

92. Makes me want to cry!

This is unbelievable!

[livetohike]

89. Trump refused to use the script his staff provided. He

spoke off the cuff in the Rose Garden.

[nolabear]

90. Here comes the footage!

[Going to Canada]

99. He is a sick man!

His Cabinet should have 25'th him!

[nolabear]

103. Indeed.

[BumRushDaShow]

91. Showing clips of the filming of the 45 Rose Garden videotaping session

[crickets]

104. They couldn't get him to use the script. What a brat.

He wasn't able to read those simple words because he didn't want the peace he was supposed to be asking for. He's comforting the insurrectionists and still lying about the election. Gah! Still making everyone else an enemy and refusing to behave like a normal person. Sociopath.

[EnergizedLib]

95. Wow

He’s repeating the same talking points that allowed it to happen where speaking in front of the camera

Not sticking to the script and he sounds like his incoherent self.

[Reader Rabbit]

96. Jeebus, this never-before-seen footage!!!

He's babbling. He's utterly incoherent. He's obviously mentally unstable.

[Johnny2X2X]

97. What a sociopath!

Total scum bag!

[nolabear]

98. Jesus Fucking Christ.

[Going to Canada]

106. He is responsible for deaths and injuries!

He needs to go to prison!

[underpants]

108. Jared "he was retiring for the day"...at 4:17?? On THAT day?

[nolabear]

114. Well he'd had his shower. Nothing else to do.

[underpants]

130. Thanks for sticking with me on that. Damn Jared is his own disaster

I ran out to the garage to grab a beer. I came back in and saw the punchface soulless mess and made a noise. My wife laughed.

Two clips of Jared and both show him...well to be Jared.

[nolabear]

131. I'm not sure he's actually human.

[BumRushDaShow]

100. Showed stills of the filming and post-filming of the Rose Grden video

[Scrivener7]

101. The statement he made at 173 minutes.

There is no one on earth who is creepier.

Calling the election a landslide. Calling it fraudulent. Saying everyone else is bad and evil.

Fucking monster. He sat and watched all of it happened. He was begged and begged and begged. He listened to people tell him they were running for their lives.

Fucking monster.

[livetohike]

112. It's so sick. Why is he walking around free as a bird?

Something has to happen and soon. He’s evil.

[Scrivener7]

118. I was just thinking the same. He is the DEFINITION of evil.

He created chaos because he wanted chaos. He knew people were dead and injured. Didn't give a shit.

[underpants]

119. He was so used to (before his horrible term) his own echo chamber.

He thinks he’s the greatest salesman ever. Leads with his point.

[EnergizedLib]

102. And still

Some want this monstrosity back?

[Wednesdays]

129. Some!?

How about tens of millions!

[Scrivener7]

107. He riles them up again, they get even MORE violent, and he walks away.

[nolabear]

110. Yeah, it was emotionally draining. I'm sure they needed a nap.

A shower. A little nosh with catsup.

[crickets]

115. While there was still violence and fighting going on.

"We've got an another unconscious officer down."

Devastating.

[underpants]

121. Staffers usually work loooong hours in the WH

At least under Dem POTUS.

[demmiblue]

122. The Capitol police who are watching this must be absolutely seething.

[nolabear]

132. Some are there in the room.

[BumRushDaShow]

111. Showing video clip of Turtle and Schumer (separate rooms)

in a conference call requesting details on clearing the building so they could resume.

[EnergizedLib]

113. This creature

Got *three* court picks, and women are dying because of them?

It’ll take decades to clean up his damage.

[regnaD kciN]

124. And that's only if his side isn't able to reinstall him...

…in 2024. And they have put the structures in place to allow them to do just that.

[EnergizedLib]

133. The steal and coup continues

We must push back.

[BumRushDaShow]

116. Showed more previously unreleased stills of Pence on the phone from the loading dock

[livetohike]

117. Trump called no one to help put down the riot. n/t

[nolabear]

120. LOL--I do appreciate her sarcasm.

[Johnny2X2X]

123. So many despicable people

Worrying about politics and wins over the media when our country us under attack.

[crickets]

125. Hand it to Pence, he got on the phone with Gen Milley and gave orders to handle the situation.

tfg didn't bother to call anyone.

Meadows' call to Milley was all about "killing the narrative" and making sure that tfg was seen as being in charge. Milley says "I don't do political narratives."

[Scrivener7]

126. **** THREAD FOUR IS UP. COME ON OVER!***

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216955741

[wcmagumba]

127. Bet if you asked the witnesses if they would vote for him again they would say yes or not answer..nt

[sinkingfeeling]

128. This Judd character, assistant communications something, doesn't come across as very bright.
