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.

First I want to know why a water main leak in another part of Fulton County Stadium caused voting to be paused and after pole watchers and reporters left counting resumed. The only inquiry that went on was from an Australian news service. Turns out it was supposedly a small leak in another part of the stadium. After the building was cleared out of reporters and poll watchers counting resumed. Oh people are pissed off ,well no kidding Sherlock!

Well, at least now we now how they felt.

Wish somebody would find out what they were doing puling those boxes of ballots out from under that table, or why they started processing ballots AFTER the observers left, or why were multiple batches of ballots were entered into the ballot counters MULTIPLE times.

But, no, there’s no evidence of fraud . . .

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

Accusations he made against her.

“Were these woman falsely accused of something they didn’t do?”

We saw exactly what they did. CCTV made it clear.
