CNN)Democratic Rep. David Cicilline said Saturday "disturbing" new evidence would be presented at the upcoming January 6 committee hearings, stressing the significance of this upcoming process.
"This is our democracy. This was the greatest assault on American democracy in my lifetime. The world is watching to see how we respond to this," the Rhode Island Democrat told CNN. Cicilline, a former Trump impeachment manager, said the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection of the US Capitol has significantly more evidence than it did in 2021 during the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump. He said the committee has interviewed or deposed more than 1,000 witnesses and collected more than 135,000 documents.

Too bad for his sorry ass that nobody came to his office during the “insurrection.”
That is in the same category of bald-faced lie as little adam schiff’s, “We have more than just circumstantial that Trump is guilty of colluding with Putin.”
The only “assault” on our Democracy was Biden stealing the damn election in front of our eyes..heck EVERYONE knows they cheated..even commies know they cheated and they are proud of it..and I dont hear anyone talk about Ray Epps, ya know the FBI agent who helped orchestrate the whole thing
There is no penalty of any kind for a member of Congress lying to the media and public. And with today’s MSM, such a liar does not even have his reputation as a source damaged.
For those who believe the Republicans recapturing the House and Senate will matter, watch for the response of House Speaker in waiting McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader in waiting McConnell to the public January 6 hearing “revelations” and accusations. Not to mention your own GOP representatives and senators. If the reaction is weak, you know how they will behave if given the chance to govern.
Daniel Webster said, in a speech to the Senate in 1830:
"...It is, Sir, the people's Constitution, the people's Government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people. The people of the United States have declared that this Constitution shall be the supreme law. We must either admit the proposition or dispute their authority."
Abraham Lincoln used similar words in the Gettysburg address.
So is it an insurrection when citizens gather to protest what they believe is gross defrauding of the sanctity of voting - thus thwarting their right to define their government, a government 'by the people'?
Or is it more of an insurrection when people conspire to win elections by manufacturing false votes for those they favor, thus diluting the voices and votes of those with whom they disagree?
For me, it's the latter, every time.
It is desturbing to the Communist Party people love America.
disturbing like the Russian hoax, another waste of tax payer money by parasites who should be behind bars
Giant screaming banshee circus.
I’ll pass.
That said, if anyone anywhere eventually issues a warrant for Trump’s arrest, all bets are off, and the rule book tossed. And that’s all I’ll say.
