The House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection concluded its series of eight hearings this week with a presentation intended to be the final piece of its narrative puzzle that painted former President Trump as responsible for the violent attack on the US Capitol -- and more broadly, American democracy -- on January 6, 2021.
The committee presented a devastating case that Trump sought multiple avenues to overturn the 2020 presidential election even after he was told he lost, that the former President knew ahead of time January 6 could turn violent, and that he chose not to act when his supporters attacked the Capitol and put the lives of lawmakers -- not to mention his own vice president -- in danger.
The most damning accounts came his inner circle, as multiple former Trump White House aides gave firsthand accounts of the President's unwillingness to accept reality and abandon his delusions about the election.
The committee, which consisted of seven Democrats and two Republicans, relied almost exclusively on testimony from GOP officials and nonpartisan civil servants, in an attempt to rebut criticisms of partisanship. "
For two years, congressional Democrats ran into White House stonewalling while they tried to investigate all aspects of the Trump administration. Beyond some notable exceptions -- notably the officials who came forward during Trump's first impeachment -- the blockade was successful at evading accountability.
Things have been different with the January 6 committee. Former Attorney General Bill Barr said how Trump reacted when he told him the voter fraud claims were "bulls***."
And Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified live in a surprise hearing at the end of June, provided easily the most damning testimony about how she heard Trump say he did not care that the January 6 crowd was armed.

"Two Republicans. LMAO. Yeah, right.
Cassidy Hutchinson provided easily the most damning testimony about how she heard Trump say he did not care that the January 6 crowd was armed.
That's all they have got? From a sworn perjurer and liar to boot?
We learn absolutely nothing until we find out who Ray Epps is and why he has not been prosecuted.
No biased reporting here! Interesting how they viewed that the burning of Seattle, Portland, LA, etc. during 2021 was just a "protest"...and CNN is so stupid they can't figure out why their viewer stats are falling off a cliff. Maybe they might try reporting the news rather than an editorial page.
Democrat Party, low life & their Media did nothing....these televised BS sessions were failures from A-Z!!! Few Americans cared about or tuned in on Media Broadcasts!!!
Go Trumpie!!!

What hearings?
The Communist News Network loves socialist tribunals.
He must have been the only one that watched this drama because no one else did. He can talk to himself.
Annnnnnddddd.....No one in America cares. Gas, groceries, heating oil and gas, electricity, and all the other things Biden has touched and effed up......
We have never been in such great danger, even at the time of the Civil War, because the present danger is decadence, moral rot coming from within America itself, and no nation, no civilization, has ever survived suicide.
About the same thing that we learned from the years of Russia Hoax hearings. That the Dem House Investigations are a political clownshow spreading lies about Trump and Republicans.
And the border is secure.
Hi...
“The committee, which consisted of seven Democrats and two Republicans, “
LOL.
Number one, the “committee” is two people short of a “select” committee and two, there are no Republicans represented, according to House rules.
The J6 committee is a farce, and Congress deserves our contempt.

Good, put The Herbster on defense.
No Cross Examination. All members of this inquisition are anti-Trump. It’s a joke. A sick joke.
We learned that those who stole the election also set up a destroy Trump scheme afterwards. Watch who supports them and you can see who was involved. Obviously the media, old and new were involved. Obviously the military was involved. The two republicans were on the defense committees. The CIA and justice department were in on it. Because of how they handled the crowd. The courts are involved. Roberts made sure that the courts were denied to Trump.
But the most important fact is that the powers that be, are the ones running the country not Joe. Its the elites with full force of the government who are failing so badly. What is going on now is not Biden. Its the Swamp who is running things. And this is their choices. This is what they want done.
Notice the war in the same country as Trumps impeachment. Notice the attack on the oil industry. Our elites have set up our enemies against us. They are now together. They now see who really runs America. We are not a democracy. We are the same as the CCP. But our fascist government is hidden. Or was hidden. Trump exposed it. The elites had to flex to remove Trump. And that exposed them. Our government is inside FB and Microsoft and Amazon. They are in the old media. And they are in certain areas of the government that are more immune to democracy like the CIA and military and court system.
For some reason its important for our fascist elites to control energy and control medicine as well as media. They don’t like the constitutional restraints. They are like the genie who is constrained by its bottle. They are trying to break those chains. Democracy and constitutions are in their way.
