If nothing else the hearings thus far have achieved something notable.

Y'all said only 20 million watched countrywide...there's 180,000,000 pool of registered voters to pick from for a jury.....

There won't be any trial.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

There won't be any trial.

And if there is, it will be a big conspiracy against Trump.

We know your rigged game. It has only two steps, and a mentally retarded ferret could play it.

The whole Russia-gate scandal was a conspiracy against Trump. That much has been proven by testimony under oath.

 

[Care4all]

There will be some trials that come from this....just like there were with the Watergate scandal, but it may or may not include Trump.

Can't happen without bringing about everything that happened before and after the 2016 election where purdy much Hillary screwed you all.... ROTFLMBO.

You mean, when Hillary was leading, and the Comey made an announcement a couple weeks before the election about an investigation that ended up going nowhere?

Not sure that was Hillary's fault.

Evaluating the Jan. 6 Committee’s Evidence

In other words, the committee’s hearings should—at least in our view—be adjudged a success from an evidentiary point of view to precisely the extent that they would convince a reasonable person that:

1. Trump attempted to convince Americans that significant levels of fraud had stolen the election from him despite knowing that he had, in fact, lost the 2020 election;
2. Trump planned to remove and replace the attorney general and other Justice Department officials as part of an effort to pressure the department to spread his allegations of election fraud;
3. Trump worked “to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to count electoral votes on January 6th”;
4. Trump tried to convince state lawmakers and election officials to alter election results;
5. Trump’s lawyers and other members of the president’s team directed Republicans in multiple states to produce fake electoral slates and send those slates to Congress and the National Archives;
6. Trump assembled a destructive group of rioters in Washington and sent them to the U.S. Capitol; and
7. Trump ignored requests to speak out against the violence in real time and failed to act quickly to stop the attack and tell his supporters to depart the Capitol.

Evaluating the Jan. 6 Committee’s Evidence

For Trumpleton's who are disingenuously still asking to see the evidence, because they choose not to look at what has been presented so far, here it is in a nutshell.

The Comey Letter Probably Cost Clinton The Election

So why won't the media admit as much?

It's right there in the numbers. The correlation is strong. Then the polling about the email server scandal showed the causation.

"Disingenuous" is certainly an appropriate term.

What they can't deny they'll call fake news. If that doesn't work, they'll say no one cares. Or it's irrelevant.

They cannot give an inch. It would be an admission that they've sold their soul to a blatant con man.

I still find it surreal that we have video evidence, documentary evidence, and witness testimony about the weeks leading up to and on 1/6.................yet Trumpleton's keep denying the truth.

This is a true group pathology. I don't think there is any short-term fix for this.

There is no fix at all for this.

Cults either die off from their members dying off, or they get stronger.

There is no third option. There is no solution.

We can hope for a self-correction, where voters are so horrified at what they've done that they reverse course. Then we set ourselves up for an over-correction in the opposite direction.

Back and forth, back and forth, like waves crashing to and fro, causing all kinds of fucking damage.

We need to change our electoral/political system.

All because a sociopathic, mentally ill man appealed to the worst in people. It's scary how easy it was.

The founding fathers saw it coming. Thus, the electoral college.

Oh the irony.

We didn't understand the depth and intensity of the rage that was growing, right under the surface.

So now we know.

Not sure where I fall on that one.

I think that rage and stupidity will always be there and always has been.

Thus, 200,000 years until we managed to form the Great Experiment that is the United States.

And look at how many times it has been tested.

For one of the tests, the only solution was to murder so many traitor slavers that they gave up on treason and slavery.

I think this particular flavor of misguided rage and paranoia began growing the day Limbaugh went national. Hour by hour, day by day, year by year. Trump was the Pied Piper who was shameless enough to play into it, which satisfies his never-ending desperation for adoration.
