Fmr. 1/6 Committee Advisor: 'I Don't Think The American Public Has Seen Anything Yet' - Deadline MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Former Republican Congressman and former advisor the Jan. 6 committee Denver Riggleman weighs in on the bombshell testimony today from Cassidy Hutchinson and previews what more the committee could reveal in future hearings. Aired on 06/28/2022.

1. Tbh, not much has shocked me yet.

It was all fairly obvious imo.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. His calls for allowing weapons even shocked me.

It could have been much worse if they had entered the chamber where Congress was in attendance and let loose with those weapons. I really believe that TFG would have been fine with that - eliminate any and all opposition to his "plan."

[dchill]

3. Yes. That shocked me too.

[SheltieLover]

5. Absolutely!

His idols are pootin & hitler. No surprise to me.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Yeah, TFG appeared at a rally in support of a candidate who said "Hitler did some things right."

[SheltieLover]

8. Wasn't candidate from downstate IL?

Could be another qpuke, but I think I read about that one.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Yes, looked it up and you're right:

Illinois Congresswoman Says ‘Hitler Was Right on One Thing'

Rep. Mary Miller was speaking at a rally in Washington, D.C. when a Twitter user posted video Tuesday showing a portion of her speech

[SheltieLover]

11. She should be disqualified for such a statement imo.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Well, we know that TFG is a fan of Hitler, too

So obviously he'd be her supporter. And the MAGA voters really don't care - they STILL support him, even after January 6th.

[SheltieLover]

14. But they couldn't vote for either of them if they were disqualified.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. So far, TFG is still campaigning for the next election!

And we heard last night about an election official who compromised the votes in her district so has been barred from continuing in that job. However, she is now running to oversee the elections for the entire state!

[SheltieLover]

16. Should not bd allowed in either case imho.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. And she won her primary today! Good Grief!

Trump-backed Rep. Mary Miller defeats Rep. Rodney Davis in Illinois' 15th District primary

CBS News projected Rep. Mary Miller, who was backed by former President Donald Trump, will win the primary in Illinois' 15th Congressional District, defeating another incumbent, Rep. Rodney Davis. CBS Chicago reports on this race and more results from Illinois' primary night.

[SheltieLover]

20. Good grief!

Ya, downstate IL is, um...rural.



Nothing like the Chicago area.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Yes, one of my best friends in college was from the Chicago suburbs

And she was "one of us..." Don't these people know what's been going on in this county?? Or have ever taken a history course?? We need to bring back Civics...

[SheltieLover]

22. Most in the Chicago metro area are Dems & relatively well educated.

Downstate, not at all. IL should just chop off the bottom of the state & gift it to some other red shithole state tbh.

Actually, compared to here, the majority in the Chicago burbs are exceptionally well educated. I highly doubt teachers there argue with students, insisting that NATO stands for North American Treaty Org., or that "this here house" is proper grammar. (Not joking!)

I never imagined so many people could be so stupid until I came here. 😓

[LudwigPastorius]

25. _

[Evolve Dammit]

30. IL has plenty of racist KKK. WI is number 1 though.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Good Grief! Ron Johnson needs to be the first to be replaced!

[Evolve Dammit]

32. So many to indict. Needs to accelerate.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Absolutely, this has gone on more than long enough

Hundreds of violent insurrectionists have been arrested, charged, convicted and jailed - while those in government who supported the insurrection remain free to go about their lives - including their "leader" who continues to hold "rallies," grift "campaign contributions" and spread his lies!

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Can't even get a @#&% un-redacted Mueller report.What are they hiding??

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Evidence of guilt.

[Evolve Dammit]

37. Seems like a total reluctance for truth and justice. Unacceptable. Lady Liberty

Needs to kick some ass.

[soldierant]

10. It didn't shock me that he felt that way

bu it did raise my eyebrows a little that je ws so open about it. Getting the mags removed was kind of like saying, :Here I am, I'm a ob boss, come and get me." (I'm pretty sure that only happends in movies - and very old movies at that,)

[Rhiannon12866]

12. He said that he knew that they weren't coming for him, so he was fine with whatever happened

Or who was injured or killed.

[soldierant]

17. Oh yes. I meant that the message wass to the DOJ.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Let's hope that DOJ was listening really, really closely today!

[soldierant]

27. They have made it public that they are.

Possibly not in real time, but the coverage on the internet is very good. It doesn't really take that long to catch up.

[Duppers]

23. Same here!

Given the man's history.

[captain queeg]

4. Maybe the committee is purposely bring the pot to a slow boil

Each new revelation will make some less than brain dead RWer start having some doubts. So when the big stuff comes they’ll have become a little more open.

There are plenty who will follow TFG to hell but I don’t think all of them.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. That absolutely makes sense

Though we do know that Cassidy Hutchinson testified today because she and her family had been receiving threats - so they moved on this while they still could. I imagine she'll be under protection after today.

But I agree, each hearing paints a more horrific picture. Hoping that those Republican officials who testified previously, yet said they'd still vote for TFG, were watching today. They are not safe, either.

[wryter2000]

26. I just hope the committee doesn't stick to some arbitrary schedule

But gets everything out. If that means twelve more hearings, do it.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I also support that.

These hearings have truly been groundbreaking and extremely informative - letting the people know the truth. Previously, we heard criticism that this was taking so long, but I think that what we've learned so far was definitely worth the wait. I'm anxious to hear it all.

[NNadir]

24. I'll check it out after work!

[intheflow]

28. Like Cheney, Riggleman turned on TFG over

TFG's refusal to participate in the peaceful transfer of power. But never forget: Trump endorsed him in 2018, and he won, in part, by campaigning with white supremacists. Very grateful for his service now, but he helped grow the beast*.






* Not a reference to TFG's vehicle.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. Some Committee members are clearly frustrated with DOJ

[Rhiannon12866]

38. We keep hearing that DOJ is "watching closely..."

*sigh*

[Evolve Dammit]

39. How much lower can the fruit hang?

[Rhiannon12866]

40. This has to be it, it can't get much worse - but how many times have we thought that???

[Evolve Dammit]

41. I really still want to know what Mueller uncovered. The players have all been pardoned that we know

of?? christ on a cracker, Stone is still at the same game. Manafort probably as well. No deterrence yet.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. I'm wondering if the January 6th Committee knows

They see to be leaving no Stone unturned!

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Let us hope so!
