1/6 hearings live thread

Only if you don't know the meaning of the term "hearsay". To everyone else, recounting an established and verifiable fact is not hearsay.
First of all, no evidence was shown proving her identification to be “an established and verifiable fact.” Second, she cannot testify to what somebody else told her. Textbook hearsay. Period. I hope you end up in court one day and find out just how hilariously wrong you are.
 
Well, this have been fun. I suspected it would reach levels unknown on LW circle jerked history, and it has.
Have fun guys - clean up after yourselves.
It should have been informative as you limit yourself to propaganda. Think us, you gave to be open to fact.

Joe Biggs has literally been indicted. It absolutely can be established that is his name.
Second, she cannot testify to what somebody else told her. Textbook hearsay. Period. I hope you end up in court one day and find out just how hilariously wrong you are.
You remind me of a drowning man grabbing an anchor for a life preserver. The things you are saying are so incredibly stupid I'd be shocked to hear them from a 12 year old.
 
Laura Ingram is on now... Tucker was before Laura...
Her basic theme seems to be 'whataboutism' with a heart-wrenching suicide victim, poor treatment of those arrested, and hard-hitting expose' about the production values of the presentation. You know, all those things that make Trump innocent.
 
[So when Liz Cheney read the Trump tweet, why did she leave out, "So go home with love, and in peace". I wonder why Liz left this out? This is exactly what we saw with the Mueller investigation, the impeachment trial, now the Jan. 6 select committee. Half truths for political purpose.
Democrats are in fear of losing power in the Congress and in the White House. They put up a disastrous candidate and he's in the White House making a mess of the nation and they would rather talk about Donald Trump.
Well, it was 5 hours late. What does it matter considering Trump planned the whole thing in the first place?
 
It is absolutely an issue for these hearings. You can’t refer criminal cases to the DOJ (which is what this committee is doing) on the basis of hearsay and it’s not a proper investigation if that’s the testimony you’re listening to.
The officer never said she knew the guys in the orange caps were Proud boys. She said they "joined the group". As for Biggs, if in fact he was identified to. the tactical crews via photo by Capitol Police Intelligence which does exist then you don't have an issue. At this point you are only opining that her testimony is hearsay. You are welcome to your opinion.
 
Excellent hearings. I think they will expose anyone who opposes them as badly brainwashed. It'll show the power of right-wing media. I saw a poll today that 90% of Democrats say trump was responsible for the riot and 9% of Republicans say it.
 
That's going to be Trump's alibi.

"Well if you guys took the national guard I offered my supporters would have never gotten past the barricades."


Well according to the Jan 6th committee trump didn't do offer any national guard.

I believe the committee. Not some rumor on the internet.
 
Strawman. That isn’t what I said. I pointed out the fact that her testimony naming and affiliating specific people (Joe Biggs, ”that group from Arizona” etc) is hearsay and you can’t build a criminal case on hearsay.

A part may be that today and every day there are people posting on other net forums that there was no violence at all on J 6 and it's all a computer animated trick on video. The committee hoped that intelligent viewers would realize what they had missed . I had seen everything on CSPAN and both impeachment arguments, a bunch more on yt but there was a lot tonight that was new.
 
They don't. I am enjoying the hearings btw. Very informative. Confirms my continued protest of the Republican Party, until they go smart again.
As bad as this crazy issue is and the trump cult and the support for insurrection, if all that wasn't an issue they're still a disaster as totally owned by plutocrats.

We're not getting out of this without bloodshed and some mass arrests. These people are fanatic, unhinged, and are pretending to have completely bought into this lie. They'll do anything for power. They're going to get more and more violent.

Well this thread has certainly shown a number of the "opposition" to be badly brainwashed.
But perhaps too much focus on Trump's role in causing the riot, and failure to take prompt action to shut it down. Trump's truly inexcusable, and quite possibly criminal acts are more likely his pressure on states to create fake electoral slates, his pressure on Georgia to find him 11k more votes, and his open and obvious attempts to implement the Eastman plan via pressuring Pence not to count/confirm the electoral votes so that the matter could go back to the states. It doesn't matter that couldnt have occurred. His effort to try to make it happen is the issue.

trump needs to be convicted of sedition. Hopefully these hearings shift some of the 91% of Republicans who think he didn't cause the riot and support builds. Republicans badly blew it when they voted to acquit him.
 
Candidate for line of the night.

Think power of the bumper sticker slogan , ( of course no one has a bumper sticker, instead think ' land , bread , peace! )

So you only get a second to see it, like a bumper sticker, so read it fast to catch the beat -

When Donald trump is gone
your dishonor will remain.
