In the final statement Cheney said of supporters of the former president that he "preyed upon their patriotism." And that's it in a nutshell. Patriotic Americans were misled by this man, and acted wrongly because they believed their president wanted them to do so.
I must say I was very impressed by the National Security Advisor. Proud of what he had accomplished while serving in the administration, a proud conservative, and resigned rather than condone wrong.
If you had been paying attention to today's hearing, you would have learned it was at the end of the day and everybody in the White House, Trump included, wanted to wrap up for the day and go home. Trump did not want to make a video telling everybody to go home, the only reason he did it was because he was pressured to. That is a fact.
Except he did in fact tell folks to go home, and you’re assuming had he made a video earlier they’d have stopped, yet we hear how unruly the rioters were and how they were on a mission to take over the Capitol, albeit unarmed against a huge amount of armed Capitol police that could’ve easily taken them out. But since we’re assuming, it’s unlikely with all of this going on that they would’ve listened.

Lol. They not anyone else can prove he never said it because the fact is he did. I’d believe the kangaroo court, however, would try to omit it.
They played video of everything he said and all his tweets before and during the attempted insurrection. It underscored how he was only going through the motions, mostly to try to appease Ivanka.

You apparently did not watch people inside the Capitol watching and waiting for his word. As soon as he said to go home they knew and many started to leave.
His inaction is indefensible. He was the leader of an attempted coup. He was not the leader of the country. He violated his oath of office.
I read a lot of speculation and allegations but I don’t see anything that is a crime on the part of the previous administration. Is there any evidence of someone in the previous administration actively orchestrating the events on January 6? Any answers to the allegations of capital authorities opening the doors to the capital and waving in protestors? Any answers why the Speaker of the House denied National Guard and or additional law enforcement at the capital?
Josh Hawley giving a fist to the crowd in support, minutes later running for his life from the same crowd. You just can’t make this stuff up.
This has literally gone viral. I hope it follows him for the rest of his life.
