'Connecting the dots': Jan. 6 committee promises to show Trump's role in Capitol attack at Thursday's hearing

[onthedarkside]

 

WASHINGTON — The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol plans to open its case to the public Thursday night by “connecting the dots” between then-President Donald Trump’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election and the deadly insurrection.

 

To illustrate Trump’s role in the violence, the committee will employ a multimedia presentation during a primetime hearing that will be carried live on most networks Thursday. It will feature taped testimony from former Trump officials as well as from the president’s own family, according to aides for the committee.

 

While many details of Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss and prevent the peaceful transfer of power have already been laid out in public, the House committee is promising to provide explosive new revelations that it obtained during its months-long investigation.

And of course  the Trump is not happy and keeps spreading his debunked lies! ????

 

"It was about an Election that was Rigged and Stolen, and a country that was about to go to HELL...& look at our Country now!" the former president said.

"With just hours to go before the start of the House January 6 select committee’s first prime-time hearing, former president Donald Trump took to Truth Social to claim the violent attack on the Capitol perpetrated by his supporters was “not simply a protest” but actually “the greatest movement” in US history."

How many times can these guys cry wolf? This is beyond ridiculous. Jan 6th was a protest. An unarmed woman was shot and killed by authorities. If anyone should be whinging it's the protestors.

Without doubt  he is a great movement - in the physiological sense...

The really sad thing about this incredible charade is the sight of people lying not only to the American people, but TO THEMSELVES. 

To be able to participate in this show trial (welcome, Ghost of Stalin) you would HAVE to be lying to yourself.

It was also claimed close allies of Mr Trump - and even his daughter - rejected his false claims of election fraud, with one calling it "bulls**t".

 

On the first of six days of public hearings before a House of Representatives select committee, a never-seen-before 12-minute graphic video of the insurrection was shown.

U.S. Capitol riot hearing shows Trump allies, daughter rejected fraud claims

WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - The congressional committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump's supporters trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat presented testimony on Thursday showing that close allies - even his daughter - rejected his false claims of voting fraud.

 

The U.S. House of Representatives select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, assault also showed graphic footage of thousands of rioters attacking police and smashing their way into the Capitol. It was the first of six planned hearings intended to show that the Republican former president conspired to unlawfully hold onto power.

 

The Democratic-led committee presented video of testimony from notable Trump administration figures including his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Attorney General William Barr, campaign spokesperson Jason Miller and General Mark Milley.

I read the Democrat committee has hired some of their liberal Hollywood friends to produce and direct the dog and pony show...it's still not going to amount to a hill of beans nor prevent a Democrat Party wipe out in the upcoming November Congressional elections.

Haven't you watched the first televised hearing?  I can't believe you have and would call this anything other than it was- at minimum an extremely violent and nasty riot.

January 6 was a violent attack on the Capitol staged with the intent of preventing the legal certification of the election.  It was no more a protest than a bank robbery is some people protesting about being broke.

Protests against ballots should be made at the ballot box. That's exactly why Trump lost despite getting more votes than any sitting president, the size of the protest was bigger than his support. An insurrection (now proven) is not the way.
