The single most compelling witness of the January 6 committee hearings so far (Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman)

She couldn't get the microphone in front of her to work.

She initially struggled to find the words to express herself.But as the former Georgia election worker unspooled her story of being unfairly targeted by then-President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday before the House select committee investigating January 6, she transformed into the single most powerful witness to appear in these public hearings so far.

Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, had been working in relative anonymity in Fulton County until, without warning, Giuliani and Trump fixated on the notion that they had somehow committed actions that were proof positive of votes being stolen for Democrats in the 2020 election.

Trump called Freeman a "professional vote scammer" and a "hustler." Giuliani said that Moss and Freeman had been passing around USB ports like "vials of cocaine or heroin." (Moss said at Tuesday's hearing that her mother had been handing her a "ginger mint," not a USB drive.)

In the wake of those false and racist allegations, Moss detailed how people had tried to barge into her grandmother's home and how Trump supporters had villainized her and her mother. (Her mother, who was known as "Lady Ruby," said she no longer liked being called that.) Moss said of the threats she had received:

"A lot of them were racist. A lot of them were just hateful."

"I haven't been anywhere at all," she said through tears.

Her testimony drove home a powerful point that too often gets lost when we talk about the logistics of who knew what and when on January 6: The lies told by the former President and his ilk had real-world -- and deeply negative -- impacts on the lives of people who were, effectively, innocent bystanders.

Stop posting this.

If we don't know what the other side is doing and saying, we have no way to oppose them.

“Maybe, but I’d want to ask about their social media comments before and after, which if correct, seem to imply a different motive.”

You’re referring to the video Ruby Freeman released getting boxes full of mail in ballots that appeared to be blanks talking about, “I ain’t happy with what I been seeing so I’m gettin’ it done.”

Yes, that looked like a legit ballot handling scenario going on right there. Just Ruby and a whole bunch of ballots!

Then we see the election-night ballots pulled from underneath the table and scanned, re-scanned, and scanned again. Re-scanning the same ballots!!!

It was so legit that they sent everyone home from that room, but themselves.

Ruby, you ought not lie to Congress. It can come back on you big time.

This fraud is revealed.

Eventually they will stand before The Judge with their excuses.

Truth.

Though I wouldn’t mind a very long jail sentence for all who commit voter fraud.

Funny how the CNN article doesn't mention that they lied about a bogus "water leak" in order to kick out the poll watchers and news people, and then went back inside and continued counting the votes:

If all the people guilty of election fraud in 2020 were sentenced I truly wonder if new jails will be needed to hold them

These two have been promised no jail, if you follow orders. Get in the public eye and whine and moan what mean old Trumpers did to you and you are innocent law biden citizens

We all saw the video.

We all saw them drag the boxes (suitcases) from under the tables.

We all saw them feeding stacks of “ballots” through the counting machines again and again.

We all saw them.

Does anyone know?? Was there EVER an official response / explanation regarding the incriminating Freeman video? To date, I have seen nothing.
