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.

What does that have to do with President Trump and Jan 6?

Unchallenged, and praised for nothing at all. Were these woman falsely accused of something they didn’t do? Maybe, but I’d want to ask about their social media comments before and after, which if correct, seem to imply a different motive.

What do a couple of November vote counting people in Fulton County, Georgia (doing odd and suspicious things on video) have to do with the January dust-up in Washington DC?

They are really scraping the sludge in the bottom of the barrel.

Chris The Lizzard wouldn’t recognize vote fraud if his life depended on it.

There were so many fraudsters it’s hard to keep track. Was this the criminals that were caught on camera hiding boxes of votes under a table, and later after evacuating due to a bogus alarm for a flood, sneaked back in, retrieved the box, and ran those hidden votes through the machines?

Also recal something about a USB drive being used on the machines, nothing suspicious about that when that wasn’t part of counting votes...

Did they try to explain why they pulled out the trunk full of ballots after they dismissed the poll watchers?
Not that that I'd believe their explanations, I wouldn't, but did this esteemed committee of kangaroos ask the questions?

They have to neutralize True The Vote, so they're using any artillery they can find.

We'll soon see the Usual Vote Fraud Denier Suspects crop back up on FR, denyin' and scoffin' all the way, pushing The Narrative.

‘Moss detailed how people had tried to barge into her grandmother’s home...’

I have seen nothing that would indicate that was true but the grandmother should protect her home and exercise her 2nd Amendment rights.

Really? Watching these traitors drag out suitcases of ballots after the phony story of “the pipes broke and flooded the building”, sending everyone home. Then seeing them scan and rescan the hidden ballots all night.

Gee I can’t imagine why they are prime suspects in the 2020 presidential coup.

This gets tossed out there without any background from the
Trump side. A sentence?

It’s just blanketed blather, one more attempt to portray
poor little Black woman and her mother, so mistreated by
Trump and Giuliani.

Why he has to be a racist! IF you didn’t know his history
with women and minority appointments that is.

First of all, what does this have to do with what happened in D.C. on January 6th. I object as to relevance, your honor!

Was the defense allowed to show the committee the video of Ruby Freeman walking through the area where she was counting ballots and talking about how she was there all alone as she processed ballots with no oversight? Or, question her as to why she ran the batches of ballots through the scanner multiple times? Again, with no oversight.

Oh, I forgot. There is no defense allowed in this show trial.

Never mind.

What a scam. Did they show the video of them at the Fulton country arena? There were video of them breaking the voting laws at other times too.

Just because the deep state says the video was nothing does not make it true. The video speaks for itself. Combined with the fake water leak story.

The public is getting shammed on the facts. And I hope that these two end up in jail in the end.

They were on the verge on coming clean before the Dim lawyers got a hold of them - you better lie and say this, and no matter what dont crack.

Eventually they will stand before The Judge with their excuses.

When the Truth doesn’t matter, one can say anything.

This is like convicting someone after banning their defense, a lawyer, cross, and an impartial jury.

They can say Unicorns raped them until a mermaid rescued them.

Aww, how horrible.
