Jan. 6 committee schedules prime-time hearing on Trump’s inaction during attack
The Hill ^ | 07/15/22 4:32 PM ET | BY REBECCA BEITSCH

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack will hold what could be its final public hearing of the summer during prime time on Thursday, examining former President Trump’s three hours of inaction during the insurrection.

A notice from the panel does not formally announce any witnesses, but the hearing will kick off at 8 p.m. and review the 187 minutes between Trump leaving his “Stop the Steal” rally that day and his finally issuing a statement asking supporters who ransacking the Capitol to go home.

“We’ll talk about what was going on in the White House while the Capitol was being overrun, and basically we will show what the president — as best we can put together — was doing all that time. Or not doing,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters Wednesday.

Not that it would matter to the mindless morons that actually watch these hearings and think there’s something to them, but Thompson and his crew of clowns should be grateful that no defense is being allowed. He and the rest would be crushed.

“…the Jan. 6, 2021 attack

“…ransacking the Capitol”

“…the Capitol was being overrun

What happened to the “insurrection”?

"......review the 187 minutes between Trump leaving his “Stop the Steal” rally that day and his finally issuing a statement asking supporters who ransacking the Capitol to go home.

Will they be showing the video from every government camera inside and outside the Capitol during that time?

It is completely relevant.

Aren’t the Speaker of the House, and the House Sergeant at Arms responsible for security at the Capitol?

Congressional ‘Rats shoulda had Nanzi Pelousy man up and accept the NG a couple of days before.

Lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

I’ll be watching!

Oh, wait. It will be on at the same time as is a classic ‘Leave it to Beaver’ episode. It’s the one where a jealous Ward Cleaver beats up Eddie Haskell and leaves him for dead by the side of the road.

Sorry Jan 6 committee, but I have my priorities.

Why is the GOP not asking for equal time from TV networks? You know that’s what Dems would do and get if the shoe was on the other foot.

Facts:
1. Organized vote fraud to subvert the will of the people is a form of insurrection.

2. Protesting against vote fraud is not a form of insurrection.

3. Days before January 6th Trump asked that the National Guard be sent to the Capitol to keep the peace, but Pelosi and others took no such action.

4. The Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, never accepted that Trump won, and did everything they could to subvert his presidency. This includes Hillary hiring people to make up an entirely false story about Trump, and then push it to the level of a special committee- all the while knowing it was false.

5. The Democrats and Clinton campaign spied on Trump while he was a candidate.

6. Democrats/Trump haters/elitists in the FBI attempted to prevent Trump from being elected, and then attempted to take him down after he was elected.

etc. etc.

zzzz...

Wake me when they decide to investigate the origins of this 'burning down of the Reichstag' play, and an investigation of the agent provocateurs (including the infamous Ray Epps).
And a thorough investigation of the Trump supporters who were murdered that day: Ashli Babbitt, and Rosanne Boyland.
And yes, the travesty of locking up harmless 'trespassers' (the bulk of whom were waved into the Capitol) for nearly 2 years in DC Gitmo...

Until then - just shut up you communist committee. Lavrentiy Bera would be proud of this lot. Americans are not.

Aww shucks! That’s exactly the time I had planned to sit down to take a large Cheney (or leave one as the case may be). Oh well, at least I’ll be doing something much more legitimate and ultimately more interesting.

His inaction? Like grabbing the steering wheel of his limousine? Consistency?

Inaction?

I thought he was playing “Darth Vader” with secret service necks and trying to grab a steering wheel to get to the Capitol.

Oh wait, this is the kangaroo committee that still hasn’t showed the cops opening doors for protesters.

Have any of these cops been arrested for letting people into a restricted area?

Also, the kangaroo committee still hasn’t isolated the small number of window breakers & cop fighters, from people who peacefully walked through the building.......hmmmm wonder why? (Sarcasm)

Washington DC is a joke. Look at how they vote. Look at the type of conspiracy theories they believe in.

These people are stupid.

We continue pouring millions into Lizzy’s temper tantrum because she thinks Trump was mean to her and Daddy.

I scrolled down the TV menu this evening and noticed the hearing. That’s what most people will do: Notice the hearing.
