That’s fair.

We’ll have to see what they say.

She’s probably quite aware of the penalty of lying under oath in front of the entire world though. You know the majority of these people were on Trump’s side, right? Until they realised just how unhinged the whole thing had become?

I believe Peter Alexander got played.

And they aren’t calling them - they have apparently decided to come forward. Allegedly. That hasn’t actually happened yet.

ETA - according to your link, the SS will respond to the testimony on the record, as they have been cooperating with the committee since 2021.



These are smart lawyers and this wasn't a mistake. This is to do as much damage in the press to Trump so he can't run in 2024.


Any lawyer in Congress that does a fact finding investigation doesn't put anybody on the stand on live t.v. before verifying the hearsay allegations. Why does Pelosi wants to speak to them now? They should have done it before the hearing began or putting a hearsay witness on the stand. If what she says it true then they don't need her but the direct witnesses.


If you think this is a fair hearing, I have a bridge to sell you.

I hope so. I mean if they didn’t, they’ve just given Trump a bone the size of a dinosaur thigh. Which he doesn’t deserve, IMHO.

Another fair impartial juror. Trump deserves a chance to question all the witnesses against him and bring his own but you are telling me he doesn't deserve it because Pelosi is fair?


Pelosi should had verified her hearsay witness before the hearing began and they wouldn't need her hearsay. You act like they never pulled this cr@p before. They didn't with Judge Kavanaugh and the circus of a hearing. The difference is at least Kavanaugh had a defense and both sides questioned everybody and brought witnesses. Trump doesn't.

True, they're not supposed to.

But the world is full of people in positions who do things they're not supposed to do.

Maybe the SA had known her for a long time and trusted her. Maybe he was trying to impress her. Maybe he was in a foul mood after the events and was in a "I don't care anymore, I'm gonna shoot off my mouth and if they fire me, so what", and after he spouted off, he calmed down.

Until he speaks up, we don't know.

You understand that the goal of this farce, which was handed to you by the same people that gave you the "Russian Hoax" was to spread a lie knowing that the retraction will never get the same press.

The bubble you people live in is astounding.

I don’t disbelieve the testimony. Trump sold you all a bill of lies about the election being stolen. Even his own daughter doesn’t believe it. Is she lying too?

It is extraordinarily feasible that he did all these despicable things leading up to Jan 6.

No one is disputing that he wanted the detectors removed so armed persons could attend his rally and then March to the Capitol. Where he wanted to join them.

His own cabinet was trying to invoke the 25th amendment.

He was, by all accounts, trying to stay in power by any means possible.

Why did he even hold that rally at all, as an outgoing President? What was the purpose? That’s one of the most damning actions of all. If he didn’t want to agitate, he would have stayed home, instead of holding that incredibly inflammatory event.
