January 6 Hearing

Potential major problem for Trump or anyone else involved in Jan 6th. This ain't the committee calling. It's the DOJ.

Helping to undermine democracy won't end well for pillow guy.

Hardee's Trolls Mike Lindell With Discount 'If You Still Have a Phone'

The My Pillow CEO had his phone seized by the FBI on Tuesday at the fast-food chain, which tweeted "you should really try our pillowy biscuits."

Did the Nuremberg trials have a 3-month hiatus in its proceedings? You Libs claim that this protest was the biggest threat to American democracy ever so we are going to quit holding the hearings for a number of months???

Many 'fine and very special' people have already been convicted and locked up for crimes related to Jan 6. And DOJ and FBI are working their way UP to bigger fish. Considering that the message coming out of Republican/Trumpco right now is 'indicting Trump would be BAD for America because SOME PEOPLE would be UPSET', don't be surprised when he IS indicted.

The FBI works for the Big Fish

I stopped reading this liberal circle jerk of a thread like 50 pages ago. Did they get to the part where they proved Trump planned the riot yet? I'm still holding my breath.

That's how Trump wanted the FBI and DOJ to work. He wanted Hillary to be locked up. He wanted them to stop investigating ties between Russian oligarchs and the Trump campaign. And yet those things did not happen, because the FBI and DOJ are 'deep' with stodgy mid-level staff lawyers who basically want to do their job and refuse to do sketchy crap that could get them in trouble later. Those same stodgy mid-level lawyers see serious crimes by Trump and company. No kings. Lock him up.

That part was out in the open when Trump told them to go to the Capitol Building and fight like hell, so you can breath.

Hmmm I don't remember him saying to break into the capitol, though. I do remember there being an impeachment hearing about that, though. What were the results of the impeachment again?

Let me ask Trump defenders this:

If Liz Cheney was the Republican nominee against Biden, would you vote for her or for a third party candidate that had no chance of winning?

I know traditional conservatives (Lincoln Project types) supported Biden over Trump but would vote Cheney over Biden.

Trump does get his fans to vote who otherwise wouldn’t vote at all, but at this point does that outweigh the conservatives he has turned off?

What’s going on with your party?

Translation: "I had no idea the hearings had a scheduled date to resume.

Welcome back, China Joe. There has been quite a bit of evidence presented regarding President Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol riots, from the planning to his behavior during the riots, and the aftermath. You can find all of it online.

This is a really stupid post, Sally Vixen. Not persuasive at all. You are trying to say that hearings regarding the January 6 riots are not important, by contrasting what you appear to claim was the relative quicker speed of the Nuremberg trials of Germans after WWII. Most people's initial reaction to that is whaaa? or WTF? It's just a stupid comparison to begin with, and suggests nothing about the January 6th riot hearings even if everything you say is true.

The January 6 Capitol riot was undoubtedly a significant, newsworthy and dark moment in American history and it would be absurd not to have a comprehensive government investigation into such events. Suggesting otherwise because of what you believe is a lack of relative speed is just silliness. I'd drop this argument if I were you, because it's really stupid. Criticize something else about the hearings if you feel so compelled. Argue that they are unfair persecution of Trump or something.

On what date are they resuming? I can't find that date.

I think it is a fair question. Media groups for months went crazy declaring how the Jan. 6 protest was an attack on American democracy and how it was an attempt to overthrow the government. After months of Congressional hearings the committee decides to take a multi-month break. Everything stops. No media coverage. Nothing at all. The schedule for Sept. is empty. When do they resume?

Imagine if Joe Biden was assassinated but the assassin got away. Congress is holding hearings on the assassination and what is being done to catch the assassin. Then after months of hearings and testimony Congress decides to quit the hearings for 5 months. Just take a 5 month hiatus. Wouldn't that seem peculiar to you? Wouldn't we conduct these hearings non-stop until we ascertained who shot the president?

Do you know the difference between a hearing and a trial?

The Jan 6 events are just part of a larger attempt to overthrow the results of the election, and also an attempt to obstruct investigation into these crimes. The crimes are ongoing, as are the investigations. The Jan 6 committee is still gathering evidence and will present more of that evidence when they are ready, probably later this month or early October. Many people convicted and locked up already as a result of DOJ investigations. Many more to come. No kings, even ex-presidents have to pay for their crimes.
