In reply to the discussion: Were you all "shocked" by new information last night? [View all]patphil
(9,029 posts)58. There were a few things.
I hadn't realized the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were at the Capitol at 10:30AM, and the attack was underway before the mob arrived. Also, that they knew which windows and doors weren't reinforced.
It was the first time I actually heard Wm. Barr's testimony from him. And, was surprised to hear Ivanka say she believed Attorney General Barr. It was interesting to note that she didn't say her father was lying about election manipulation, but that she believed Barr, who said the whole election rigging and voter fraud thing was bullshit, thus implying her father lied.

It was definitely one of those moments. My first one of those was when Reagan was shot.
