Do you know how to fast forward through a YouTube video? There's very little grandstanding in these hearings, but you can FF through any parts you don't want to watch.

Nobody owes you a synopsis of the hearings. If you want to know what's been proved, watch them.

Fact is he told them to protest peacefully and patriotically and told them to go home.No matter how one tries to deflect from it or say he didn’t, there’s facts that prove he did.
Yeah ok. Telling them to go home 3 hours into it is what’s commonly referred to as shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted.

What a shame you chose not to know. Your posts might carry some weight, then.
Did you watch?
Or
Did you not watch, and say you did?
Or
You didn't watch at all, but received updates VIA , CNN(Clinton News Network)
Or
Didn't have to watch, herd it from a friend.
Or
None of the above.

So, you don't want to watch it, or just do your research online, but you want people to fill you in on what's going on. Then when they tell you, you probably not going to believe them anyway, or question what they tell you. Why bother?

It was obvious with your first post that you did not watch tonight. Not sure why you commented as if you had.

You conveniently ignored the first paragraph in your response, but I thank you for admitting that he told them to go home……and they did peacefully, almost 2 hours afterwards, so thinking they would’ve left immediately is quite the assumption.

It does add evidence that Trump is a fat ass liar and all of this was planned to keep him in power event though he knew he had lost.

That's actually old news by now, but he said that n his little podcast.

It means he knew he had lost and was planning on pushing the election lie early on. It was dangerous and unprecedented in American history. He knowingly riles up his violent base with a lie. A crime? Maybe not. But certainly dangerous and indicative of a man unfit for office.

You apparently missed the hearing(s) where some of those connections were made. It was also a multi-pronged attempt to subvert the will of the American people. January 6 was the culmination and last ditch effort of that attempt.

Do you understand that not all of the criminality occurred on January 6th? Eastman, Mike Flynn, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell all promoted an unconstitutional means of Pence denying the election results. Trump met with Pence numerous times to encourage him to follow the plan. He pressured him on January 6th to violate the Constitution. He tweeted that Pence lacked courage as the crowds were calling for Pence's death.

Trump is on tape asking the the Georgia election official to find 11,780 votes even after being told multiple times that there was no evidence of fraud sufficient to change the results. Even after multiple counts in Georgia. That is a crime. Frankly that call alone should be all any patriotic American needs to hear.

It is a way of arguing a lost cause. They try to refute a position you never made in the first place.
