However, McCarthy differs from the committee in believing the coup attempt was never “plausible” and that “the system did work” in preventing the election being overturned, comments of which you can watch below.

Is this   Kevin McCarthy different from the one who voted to reject the electoral vote tally along with 146 other Republican representatives?

Thank you for sharing still more irrelevant comments that have nothing to do with the Jan 6 hearings. Keep on deflecting.

Ok, back on topic:

Jan. 6 committee says probe shows Trump led and directed effort to overturn 2020 election

Not much of anything substantive will likely come from this made for the J6 TV presentation otherwise there would be no need for it and Trump would be behind the pipes by now. So, don't hold your breath too long. Georgia, a local DA is investigating and the G Jury has a timeline for June 30. Maybe there will be a charge or maybe not, I would bet nothing there. So, it will be business as usual for the MAGA movement and this distraction referred to as R DeSantis. And then, let the house and senate lead by the crazies, (smart crazies) Jordan, Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz, etc, et al dig deep into anything and everything illegal.

[bocaBob]

Ok, enough off topic. I suggest gravitating back to the topic here: that "Trump led and directed effort to overturn 2020 election". Or, is the interest waning now?

does anyone know when the next episode of the hearing airs?

US sink so low as to appoint a crook and idiot trump as president. Sad.

What do you mean? It is the democratic election process in America. I don't think the constitution precludes your version of an idiot from running for office.

The House select committee will pause its public hearings until next month after receiving significant new evidence related to Donald Trump's effort to overturn his election loss.

The panel will hold another hearing Thursday focused on Trump's pressure campaign against the Department of Justice, but select committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) told reporters on Wednesday the remaining hearings would be rescheduled for July.

With lots of new exclusive interviews with Trump and his inner circle leading up to and after the the incident, then its only appropriate that it gets delayed for it all to be reviewed first. All thanks to the British documentary maker Alex Holder.

 

As one Trump official said:

 

"What the f*** is this?" a former top Trump 2020 official messaged the publication after seeing the news.

Even Fox News admitted that there was never evidence of election fraud in 2020.  To this day there has been no evidence, only conspiracy theories and innuendos.  Yet a large swath of the Republican party still believes it.  Is that the definition of ignorance or stupidity?

Well, there has been evidence. It's just really poor quality. But I know what you mean. Even Trump's advisors in the White House admitted that they didn't have the evidence to support their claims. Which didn't stop a creature like Trump from repeatedly falsely accusing by name an elections worker in Georgia of electoral fraud  in his conversation with Georgia Sec. of State Raffenberger.

Trump criticizes McCarthy for ‘very, very foolish decision’ to shun Jan. 6 committee

Former President Donald Trump has derided Rep. Kevin McCarthy for the House minority leader’s “very, very foolish decision” not to participate in the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

“Unfortunately, a bad decision was made. This committee — it was a bad decision not to have representation on this committee,” Trump told far-right-wing podcast host Wayne Allyn Root last week.

"Well, there has been evidence."  Come on man.  When we say there has been "no evidence," what we mean is "no evidence of widespread fraud that could have changed the outcome of the election."  It's well understood.  Sure there have been tiny numbers of actual voter fraud (from what I've seen, mostly Trump voters).  But any suggestion of widespread election fraud is pure fantasy.

That link leads to a gun rights advocate and former trump employee's website which again links to a Rasmussen report that's behind a paywall.

Better luck next time.

The investigation into the phony electors scheme by Trump supporters attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election appeared to escalate on Wednesday.

 

FBI agents served a search warrant Wednesday on Nevada’s top GOP official, sources told the 8 News Now I-Team’s George Knapp. Agents seized the cell phone of state Republican chairman Michael McDonald, reportedly as part of an investigation into the fake elector scheme initiated at the end of the 2020 presidential election," KLAS reported.

'Just say the election is corrupt': Justice Department rebutted Trump's 'arsenal' of election fraud claims

President Trump told members of the Department of Justice to say that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate despite a lack of evidence, former acting Deputy Atty. Gen. Richard Donoghue told the Jan. 6 committee on Thursday.

"Just say the election is corrupt and leave the rest to me and Republican congressmen," Trump said, according to notes Donoghue took during a December 2020 discussion with the president.

No, I don't, but how else does one get information. You have to wade through all the fake news from both sides. Personally I use C-Span trying to find anything on the subject and person fake news are posting.

 

Based on your earlier post I assume the above information came from C-Span.  Why not post a link?

 

I don't expect a reply, so I'll post one for you:  All the nonsense about election issues have not held up to scrutiny.  As soon as you give your source for the poll watcher nonsense it will be shot down.

Denialists still singing from the same song sheet that widespread fraud could have been committed because poll watchers didn't get proper access to the voting process. Trump regurgitate this BS repeatedly. Fact is that all the lawsuits related to this BS have been dismissed over LACK of EVIDENCE. Period and end of story.

I wonder if Trump supporters will ever get tired of waiting for Sidney Powell to "Release the Kraken"?  https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55090145

 

If there were a Kraken to be released, it would have been let out long ago.
